Going against certain overpriced pitchers that are favorites, like David Wells.

Jman, you aren't betting bases this year at all? You would be a nice bonus for the baseball forum.

I have made just one wager all season and it lost...

I had a very fine football season, and did okay in hoops til i pulled the plug around late March...I needed a long break with all things considered, I do have the itch though.

I bet slightly different amounts with the book but in my documented thread I have almost doubled my bankroll (10K) risking only 2-5 units ($200-500) per game betting almost only money lines, very few parlays, run lines or totals.

Instead of sending $3000 offshore and betting 25% of my bankroll on a nightly basis I have learned MM from this forum and stayed strictly within the above criteria.

My season has been a complete rollercoaster. Huge days, losing and winning.

One key thing for me is finding an agent who has lines I can bet into. I have found that 1st 5 inning lines have been huge moneymakers for me. I discovered the same thing with NBA and CBB, looking at different type wagers has been where I have been most profitable. More than your tradional sides and totals wagers that most look at.

I would like to get back to being comfortable with much less on a game than I became accustomed to....I'm not trying to sound like an ass but, I got use to betting higher than I want to now days....too much stress for me, that I don't need....

Finding a happy medium where the amt wagered makes it enjoyable but not on tilt in the 2nd inning because no one has scored yet lol.

For some odd reason I cannot go over the $200 a game amount on all my games. I can (and do) have 30 bets easily a nite but the minute I up all my plays to around $300 a play or so I freak out. I tried it again July 1st and got buried. Found myself watching ths scoreborad all nite and getting pissed. Up until July 1st not a care in the world. I don't ever watch a game (unless my hometeam is playing and that is for rooting purposes). I just want to take this too another level but for some odd reason I can't. I guess that is my breaking point. Been that way for ever.

Patience. Every year it seems I go back and forth with a couple of nice winning streaks that make the difference. You just cant press. Stick to your methods that you believe in and wait for the good run. It is a long season. The key is avoiding the bad run or pressing when things are not going well.

That's what works for me anyway. Good luck if you jump in. The water is nice.

Ice you're a lot like me, nothing ever seems to be good enough for you lol

I know what you mean though, you have been mentioning that barrier for a while, I thought it was $100 though at first? So you HAVE moved up!

It is (was) between $100-200 a play but tried $200-300 a play and that is where the troble lies.

I was trying to put 80 units a nite into play (on average) but the problem is I can usually only find around 30 bets a nite so I figured the best thing to do was double my bet size or so and the units would come. Ideally I would rather have 70 $100 bets but just cant find that many plays during a nite.

Just seems like simple math. Bet more/win more but the variance is just too high with that many units in play a nite for me. Losing streaks become hazardous to my health (LOL)

GF always says I am never happy and she is probably right. Human nature I think. We all want more in life no matter what it is.

Your right. NFL (with square bookies) is always nice. You can middle around key numbers so I will play $500 a side or so but may not be able to do that this year with not having as much money floating around offshore and Pinny gone.

Finding a game and you like, not betting on every game, staying away from chalk -90 and up. Also when finding the game you like, look for the bet that has the most value in that game.I also make alot of 25 dollar 2 teamers.
Whether it be just taking the over on the first 5 innings for -10 juice and so forth.
Never really lost a baseball season for the past 4 years, never really won much as well.The most i won in a season is probably 2k but my units are ten bucks each.

I wish I could average 30 bets a day during mlb. Maybe adding more square books and being awake during US evening would help?! Ice, if you don't mind me asking when do you place the majority of your bets?

less that 45 minutes before game time (6:15 est). I also will bet 15 minutes before the late game (9:45 or so). Am currently using 4 VERY SQUARE outs.

Well this season has been one of the toughest of the last 10 years for me. I have had days where I win $4000 and days where I lose $2000. The $4000 winners are few and far between lately though.


But i am in it for the whole season. The past week has BEEN MUCH easier to cap for some reason though, or at least for me
