I did bc if he wouldve lost ...whoooo nelly..NFL &NBA& MLB..anybody can beat anybody unlike college.Im prob just rambling..I used to not bet a game bc line looked to good..if u like it PLAY IT PERIOD!

Thank you, mate. "If you like it, play it" no matter the consequences. That is true confidence. And, it is what most bettors lack. I've had success myself but always have quite a few failed moments. Nonetheless, we keep grinding at it.

The one thing I find most disconcerting is when a capper believes in his materials so much that it blinds his hindsight when wagering. Yet, when people opposes his decision he would go about and argue at his every point possible. Then again, that is his own confidence, so we cannot argue about that, either.

When bettors don't find the courage to lay down one huge wager in order to clean house, they would then find the one who does and congratulate him with success with a meaningless "it's luck".  Whether it is luck or not, a win is still a win, no matter how you look at it.

The word 'capper' rubs me the wrong way.

Something like the use of 'soccer' to replace 'football'.

Do your research by watching game footage, finding useful trends and useful statistics.3. Never bet on heavily juiced lines. Like a line at -1000 for example.4. Never bet on heavily valued lines. Like a terrible team at 100 to 1 odds to win championship.5. Teams with home field/court advantage tend to win games.6. Be a strategic gambler by picking your spots and wait for the right opportunity. Never be an impulsive gambler by betting for the action, just because it feels good or it's your favorite team. Patience is virtue.7. Stay emotionless all the time. Bet like a robot. There's no place for emotions in this profession. 8. Parlays should be no longer than 2 teams, the bigger the parlay is, the bigger the House Edge. Research and Secure your first pick before moving on to your second pick.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89HtJmQgjww 9. Teasers should never pass through the zero.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP3P9OJvukQ  10. Never bet on double digit road favorites. You will lose in the long run.11. Always make your bet near game time. Players could get injured during the week before game time.12. Sportsbook have an edge on the NFL than the NCAAF because they can focus on the 32 NFL teams but cannot focus on the hundreds of NCAAF teams.13. Never deposit money for sportsbook bonus money that requires rollover. You are immediately juiced before you even placed your first bet.14. Never bet on preseason games on any sport. Predicting a 2nd string and 3rd string team is stupid.15. If you are extremely impulsive, arrogant and biased. The best advice is to "Don't Gamble".16. Never gamble if you are drunk, sleepy, hungry, depressed or angry.
dude number 8 is just a myth and can be proven that is is just that. i have crossed over the zero and won before. If you want more proof just go back and look at nfl ats records and see if passing through the zero has ever won. Its pure bull crap. Im willing to bet that 99% of the sports gamblers dont pass through the zero yet still on a constant basis lose.
