If you could change one thing about the "WAY" you bet what would it be??

Dante · Jun 19, 2005

im not talking about picking the winners all the time...do you have a habit that you would like to change when placing bets

Have long been much to conservative of a bettor.

However, this does have some positives to it.

Anyway, thats my answer.

Sometimes I try to stick to a certain system or something and try to be VERY discipline, but then a game just JUMPS out at me and I will play it even if it doesnt go with my system. This use to be my huge fault in gambling, however that has changed very much and only occurs every once in awhile now. I am sure we have all done this before.

I concur with Fish. I'm way too conservative. It's nothing to do with BR size but more confidence in my ability (or lack of). :suomi:

I have become too conservative as well. I find myself going up $$ wise on bets when im losing and don't up my bets as much when im on a winning streak.Should be the other way around.

Stop being an action junkie.

yup

gotta make a plan and stick to it more than a week...I piss myself off so much, I have to wear a hockey helmet.

Make sure I know just about everything about the teams involved in the bet.

Good question. My remaining shortcoming probably has to do with the aftermaths of betting though. I still tend to sweat individual games too much, whether by staring at the scoreboards constantly refreshing them, or by watching the games when I could be doing something more productive.

Dante · Jun 20, 2005

great stuff here guys..thanks for the feedback:toast:

9 times outta 10 I get killed when I go way outside my unit amount.
usuallying i'm laying 3-5 of my bankroll. I've noticed i've only hit 15% plays maybe once or twice ever. Afterwards it kills me grinding trying to get back to where my bankroll was before.

Gotta pinch myself when I decide to go SUPER SIZE

Dawoofdaddy · Jun 20, 2005

I wish I would not play as many unders.

Greed's terrible ain't it? :nono5:

Been there. I know how you feel. Especially when you spend so much time and break even or worse; are down.

Sometimes When I Like A Side And The Line Starts Moving The Other Way...... Im Like.... Oh Shit!!! Somethings Wrong....i Missed Something. So Ill Cancel A Play And Be Kicking My Self All Night If It Was A Winner!

Sometimes I am too egotistical to think I made a bad play and go right back after it the next time. Fading Claxton in the U.S. open over the weekend for example or if I lose a prop in one game when the next game is played I will play the same thing again often times with less success than just starting over as if it were a new situation. That is my biggest problem, although not a huge one.
