I have done  well, but the amont I wager and made is my busines and no one elses. 

I will let the other posters that say they wager a dime every game brag about thier wins.  I just grind it out every year.

It just sounds to me like your telling this guy not to gamble his $150 bucks because the chances of him turning it into something big are slim.
 
 
And then on the other hand because you have $2000 bucks in your account, it's somehow OK for you to think that you can turn it into something big.
 
 
And then you show me a thread that says don't go for the big score, and do this and you won't tap out etc.
 
 
You're being a little bit hypocrytical just because you have a few more dollars than this guy.   Yet you're not making any big money either.   You're just "grinding it out".
 
 
And the bottom line is both of you guys just want some action. 
 
And I don't see any problem with the guy spending his $150 to get some action.
 
 
This is what I was talking about with the horse track.   It's like people think they have the right to gamble and lose money just because they have a bigger bankroll.
 
And some guy who wants to gamble his $150 and lose it somehow is lower than them.
 
It's stupid.

It's all good G-Hound.  I just don't want to see people spend thier last $150 it they really needed it for something.  If it's really extra money they don't miss then more power to them.
 
Now then ..you have no idea how much I have in my accounts or how much I wager on the games or how much I make gambling. I don't know where you came up with 2K
 
Grinding it out is just what it says......not going for the huge score with big parlays and such.  You can grind it out with $5 a game or $10,000 a game.
 
I don't need action, I do this to make money, bottom line.
 
Anyway, enough of this.......my action is getting killed in the market today.......again.

I will take $150 and turn it into $2,000 by football season next Fall. I will post my picks to prove this can be done.

You guys should get off your high horses.

It's $150.  To some it may be a lot.  To others, they just want to put a few dollars on a game to spice things up.

Not everyone can be high rollers.  The guy is going to bet $10 on a game instead of $50.

Tar and feather him.

$150 to start with is fine.  VIP Sports has $1 bets, and BetJamaica as minimum $2.  
 
Take six teams and bet $15 each, and take $10 and play 4 team parlays at $2.50 each.  Won't win a lot, but it is a start, or maybe $2 for a six pick.  The point is the single picks and build it from there.  If you are ahead after the first day, take half of your winnings on a favorite ML (like GB or tonight with Orlando or Detroit).  It will be a while before you start drinking champagne.  Just start with a bottle of muscatel.

All I have to say that was an absolute classic comeback.  I'm dying over here. I nominate this as "Best Comical Comeback for 2007"

 

But for real. If you don't have $500 to play on... forget about it.

For one thing you guys really need to get off of Lipps ass because he was being semi comical and semi serious. If you have $150.00 you might as well go to your local casino or person house... but to do sports gambling on?
 
I remember my first deposit a LONG TIME AGO western union to v-wager.com back in 1999. Which opened up my sports gambling career... I was nervous sending money overseas... I sent $200.00 and was charged $22.00 by Western Union... so officially $222.00 I didn't know if sports gambling was for real or not? Or if it was a sting operation? I can understand if it's your first time and all... but seriously... if you've been doing this for 6 months or so... and you're sending only $150.00 you need to find another hobby. For real.

Why? Why can't the guy have fun betting $5 or $10 at a time? Why does Las Vegas have $2 blackjack tables and $1,000 blackjack tables?

2 Things....
 
1. I don't know of anyone who bets "just" for fun.
 
2. I don't answer false handles where the person has only 29 posts in 14 months.
