1 bet is always the way to go.the least amount of wagers you have the better chance of winning you have.if you go 3-2,or 2-3,you lose most of your money and one of the wagers might have been your winner and you would have had it all over with.i know going 3-2 you don't lose your money but you don't win what you set out to win either

Yeah, Agree ...

I know a bunch of people that like to play 4 or 5 plays a day because they think some will cover the other loses.

I Call them Squares :)

One. I feel I can wait wait wait until I see the perfect play to go all in on. Even if it takes me two weeks to find it.
 

That settles it...It's WED/DAY

One wager. The more you play, the more you lose. I like to find one or two games i really like and play them.

Yep , I like 1 ot 2 as well. Don't get me wrong, if I see a 3rd I will play it. But most of the time it's the 1 or 2.

id rather play 5 games than 1. would hate to have a few games circled and get it down to only 1 and then that be the one to lose. id rather play my top picks and have some room to work with especially if its going to be a bigger bet.

its also more fun to be watching a few games instead of just one...especially when it tanks half way through the 3rd quarter

Bro you see alot in interleague dont you ? m-l , r-l , totals ... haha just kidding .

Hard to say really , just depends. If i was somewhere and they said either 1 play for 2500 or 5 for 500 i'd choose the 1 play.

yeah , what i hate is college basketball where i'm trying to cut 14 plays down to 5 and go 1-4 when i would have gone 8-6.

LOL, But those Bets are Only $100 - $300 plays I play more on Football than any other Sport.

Outside of the Hilton & leroy's that I play in ( Where you need to pick 5-7 plays )
* College Leroy's is 7 Picks

I will take the Best 2-3 Plays that day and Pound if I can.

If I'm Up for the Week, yeah I might throw a few dollars on another game.....Just for the Action. :)

One bet 2500 and the reason is pure and simple excitement...to me that's a good amount of money and would really get the adrenaline going...i know i am not a real capper so my best bet it try and use the one thing I have to my advantage and that is balls to put what i consider a large amount of money on 1 play

I would agree here... it depends on the sport, what I'm comfortable with, etc.

But I think 1 bet would probably be my choice.
