I thought I got an std once. Those days were rough. Losing some money, not so much

Yeh,  It's tough but won a little back lately.  I'm a NCAAF guy and never very good at NCAAB.    I never seem to be able to remember that once BB starts.

Started with $150 a couple of weeks ago. Most of my single bets are around the 10-25 range. Hit a 11 team parlay $2 won $1200, then hit a 6 team $5 won $210. I also do a lot of in bet games on the Over/Under. Every once in a while you will see something really odd like last night that you can cash on. The Virginia game total started at 128 before game and I made a small over bet, once the game started the total started to drop, all the way down to 120. I managed to place 10 large bets at 126, 125, 124, etc. Then the total bottomed out in the middle of the first half and began to rise again, the total ended at 134 so I was happy. I have about 4000 sitting in my account.

I actually do better capping my own games and winning them

Tailing here will bust your roll quick!

Too many "hot" posters go on these dream runs then go broke chasing their loses

In all seriousness...heres why most amateur cappers go belly up during conference tourney time....TOO MANY GAMES on the board.
You take a random weekday, plop a ton of games starting at noon and go thru the entire afternoon, people to begin with usually have no clue what theyre doing to begin with on these noon tip offs with teams from whatever trailer paek conference they hide in all year long, then rookies place wagers on teams they have never heard of because they read an anonymous covers user post...they lose the noon game, then go double the next game, lose, and its Dr.Martingale reading a lovely poem at your funeral by 8pm...the lucky ones manage to scrape together all their loose change for a degen Pac12 or WCC 10pm or midnight hail mary...lose...then lose their mind over night and come begging here for picks money or both the following morning...or tell ushow fixed these games are and that they are quitting because they are fed up with Vegas tricking them.

Happens every single last week of the college hoops season...noobs come and go every 52 weeks.

I'm not sure anyone can have 6 million in bitcoins in a sportsbook account or would want to risk getting it confiscated in a sportsbook account. Unless it's spread over several accounts in small amounts. Try betting over 10k in Vegas without some kind of players club card and id. Casino bosses can refuse your action. My best advice is just go ahead play there game get a players club card. Stay at their hotel and get credit from the casino. But you must use the credit wisely. Never ever go all in on credit unless you have enough personal cash or assets that u can sell for cash. Best bet is keep the bets under any kind of goverment reporting to stay under the radar. If it's not reported more than likely they can't prove u have it.i am no way telling you not to pay your taxes or avoid paying taxes. Truth be told sportsbooks and casinos don't like winners and love to kick out advantage players.

But yeah, I've had a rough time since Friday night. Was absolutely on fire Tuesday through Friday morning. I tend to lean on contrarian plays and earlier in the week I know "square" bettors were having a hard time. These last couple days have been the opposite.
