I dont care if you bet a -360 ML...

I dont care if someone thinks they are cool for taking a shot at a +157 dog and they almost won but gave up "an unlucky homer" in the bottom of 9th

THE STAT THAT MATTERS IS ROI

This shows how good of a sports bettor you are

Frankly it is disturbing noone seems to grasp this

"dont lay juice"

stfu already with that nonsense

If you want to keep losing your ass and be a nobody forever keep trying to be a hero betting better prices and praying its a close game

Sick of fucking morons, I really am

Did you forget you made a thread last week explaning how you find it impossible to raise a bankroll because you constantly give it back to the book?

Doesn't matter what you're ROI is because you've already stated you'd bet on anything to chase, so what difference could ROI make?

Im talking about actual DOCUMENTED STATISTICS of PICKS ENTERED that are SERIOUS HANDICAPPED GAMES and do not INCLUDE CHASES

Hope that clears it up?

Reading your post I'm not convinced you understand what ROI is. Especially with baseball the line you get greatly affects ROI. Half of the equation is how much you risk. $100 win at -360 will generate a much different ROI than a +100.

You think I'm flaming and that's ok, I understand why you'd think that.

I just couldn't help but point out the irony of you talking about ROI when only last week you were saying how you find it impossible to raise a roll.

I guess at 100% you have an argument but who wins at 100%

I do. :):)



I picked 4 tennis matches (all high juice) and they all hit.


I will now proceed to never bet tennis again.


I put my dick into the system? :think2:

ROI doesn't mean shit IMO in gambling

Give me a huge bankroll and a small return. Thats the way a big boy real gambler does it, big bank roll and only expose a small amount.

I could win 1 dollar with a 1,000 dollar bankroll all day long...

Now trying to win 100 with 100 is a bit tougher. Gamblers look for too big of an ROI and it's their downfall, small returns patiently is key.

Why the fuck do you care what everyone else does? Just do you. I think that can be said for a lot of shit in this country. Just fucking do you and stop worrying about everyone else.

So that explains how you went from being Up over 53 Units, down to like 19 units

Hitting those -250's, -260's :ohno:

No, if you place 4 bets at -1000 and hit them all, your ROI is still 100%

wouldn't the ROI on that be 10%

total stake/total return = ROI

your win/loss ratio is 100%

you say the stat that matters most is ROI (which may or may not be true) but when you fail to understand ROI it makes it difficult to argue your case.

kinda like sarah palin. she could be on the right side of an issue, but fail because she does not understand the issue completely.

good luck

No it is not.
Betting 1100 to win 1000 and winning this bet (or 4 out of 4 bets) would give you a ROI of 10% (400USD in winnings divided by 4000USD risked)...

ROI doesn't mean that much, because the volume is even more important: Maybe I can increase my ROI by betting less games (or by exclusively betting higher odds), but as long as the odds present a +EV situation in my opinion, it would be stupid to pass up on a +EV situation just because it might lower my ROI....
More (+EV) bets = higher volume of bets = more winnings (in absolute numbers).

If I (on average) win 40cents on every 1$ risked by betting NFL...should I pass on betting college football just because I only win 10cents on every 1$ I risk on NCAAF? That's actually what you're saying since betting NCAAF would lower your ROI significantly....but at the end of the day, betting both would result in you ending up with way more money....
