I usually try to bet 3 - 4 games tops in a day but there are days were I just like a lot of games. On Weds and Saturdays there are usually a lot of games in college basketball to choose from. Tommorow about I like about 10 games and I need to limit them. How do yo go about limiting your betting card?
Bet them all. I am a combined 20-10-2 tonite and had a 23-15 record last nite with some bets counting as 2 as I bet them at 2 different places. Best 2 days I have had combined in last few weeks and wouldnt have had it without alot of plays. I like the lots of small +ev wagers style. I shoot for around 30-35 plays a nite for me. Seems to take the luck factor out and the bad beats don't hurt with this many plays.
A sad question with even sadder answers.
Its like an alcoholic or a heroin addict asking how to limit selves to one drink or one fix. Sad.
But you know what,,,Just say fuck it and bet em all, enjoy the high and when the moneys gone, put on some diapers and go on a cross country bank robbing spree. Placing bets on your cell as you go along betting 40 sides and 40 totals per day!!!

FALCO -- you know iceman is playing steam, and getting the best line at slow shops line 9.com and sportsbook . com thats why he can come out ahead
you need discipline-- which most people do not have
bet it all- If your average wager is 100 dollars instead of playing 10 games just play 1 game and wager more money

Bullshit!! Steam is an illusion, a wives tale, a gambling urban legend.
I Challenge anyone to post all their so called Steam plays, 20 or 30 per day and show a profit after 7 days. ONE MILLION DOLLARS I will give to that person. I'm willing to put up the money in escrow. They will not owe me anything when they lose. The reward for me will the glory of debunking the Steam myth.

You're 100% right. That's one of my secrets. First, you have to be able to recognize an edge. Then, if everything you bet is a mathematical edge, the more plays you make, the more money you'll make because of the increased volume multiplied by your edge. The bad beats seem to even out, and because you're getting good numbers you seem to win more often than close when it comes down to a half-point in a tight game. Iceman, I found this style to be much less stress on me as well. It's hardly stress at all. It's disappointing at times and a bad run can be somewhat depressing, but it's not really stressful. Every business has it's setbacks from time to time. In baseball season I'll routinely make around 80 plays a day. This past football season my plays swelled to over 120 a day on the weekends. I remember a couple of years ago on a day with 4 NBA games and 2 NFL playoff games I managed to make 116 plays.
"Something is either a bet or it isn't." quote from Magic Johnson (the gambler, not the ex-Laker)
for a lot of people it take a lot of months or even years to bet smart imo.3 to 4 games on any given nite is plenty of action imo.and when a season is ending like the college bb now with about a month to go when the lines are very tight it more of a reason to limit your action.parlays and playing games for action is what kills people.and im for one here do not buy into the thing if you got 10 good games go with them,no way .take the same 10 teams and work on them and go with your best 3 to 4 games a day..............ck
It's extremely improbable to go 2-33. You might go 11-24 or 12-23 on a really shitty night, but not 2-33. One of the reasons is that some of the bets sort of balance each other. You might have a baseball game under 9, but also have it over 4 runs for the first 5 innings, for instance. I do stuff like that often because I look at everything as a separate bet. I might bet a game over, but both team totals under also if the right numbers show up. With this style you're more at risk when you're making a lot of related plays, like game over, and first half over, and the quarters over. If they play a low scoring game, you might go 0-6 in that example. My worst days usually involved laying some chalky money lines that didn't workout, I might add.
