Any of you do action bets a lot ?

wiesman02 · Sep 12, 2006

I find myself so pumped up about CFB and NFL, that I need to bet Monday for football even if there's no edge, and Tues-Fri for just action bets (usually baseball)

My normal bet range is btwn $100-$1500, but I make sure not to bet more than $20 on these action bets. Peanuts, I know, but at least I show restraint on my action bets.

Anybody else have the same problem?

HarryCaray · Sep 12, 2006

Yes. If there is a game I want to watch, I WILL have action on it even if I can't find an edge; about 20% of my actual unit size though.

Nope - No +Ev and I take the night off.

That being said, with as many books as there are today, if you can'd find +EV on every game, you aren't looking hard enough.

There are props, quarters, halves, team totals, etc etc...

I do like to have something on a game I am planning to watch

No, I'll watch the in-running markets at Betfair/TBX/Matchbook/elsewhere and usually find value at some point during the game.

I never do action bets so lets say this weekend i like NYG over Phila and i think giants win by 7 or more how do i make this bet lets say 100 a point??

mj23 · Sep 12, 2006

Cant anyone help me here i will have a good game this weekend where i want to make one of these bets but i am not familiar with them and also how do you play an action pleaser. Thanks im just an old school boy .

I don't know what you're talking about...
I think "action bets" was referring to bets you make just so you have some action on the game, as opposed to an investment or value bet, where you bet it because it is +EV.

MJ is referring to Action Points. You get a unit for every point your team covers the spread by. Never have bet this way personally so not sure exactly how it works. Not sure if there is a stop loss in place if your pick gets crushed.

i average maybe 2 bets a month Tues-Fri during football season...just if something catches my eye....I may not be active because i play a lot of poker during the week...whether it be live games or $100-200 sit-n-go's online...i get my gambling fix in

I save my sports betting for the weekends where it doesnt interfere with my work

6th week in a row i am collecting from my bookie though! pick up $1800 today at 5! :dancefool

TAKE KYLE BUSCH THIS WEEKEND IN NASCAR!!!!!!!!!! 8-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TeddyKGB used to make a lot of action bets, he's probably a good one to ask for advice.

Yeah he was, some thought he was just talking about action in general.

It took just one game where I got maxed out about 3 years ago and that was that. No way I'd do it again.

Any of you do action bets a lot ?
