Money won is twice as sweet as money earned. (Color of Money)
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker. Guys around here will tell ya, you play for a living, it's like any other job. You don't gamble, you grind it out. Your goal is to win one big bet an hour, that's it. Get your money in when you have the best of it. Protect it when you don't. Don't give anything away. That's how I paid my way through half of law school. A true grinder. You see, I learned how to win a little at a time. But finally I've learned this: if you're too careful, your whole life can become a fuckin' grind. (Rounders)
It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money (Rounders)
In Confessions of a Winning Poker Player, Jack King said, "Few players recall big pots they have won -- strange as it seems -- but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career." Seems true to me, 'cause walking in here I can hardly remember how I built my bankroll, but I can't stop thinking how I lost it (Rounders)
Why does this still seem like gambling to you? I mean, why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY SINGLE YEAR? What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas? It's a skill game, (Rounders)
You can't lose what you don't put in the middle. But you can't win much either. (Rounders)
Yeah I did, and you don't listen, I tell you to play within your means, you risk your whole bank roll, I tell you not to over extend yourself, to rebuild, so you don't have to hock for more, I was giving you a living, showing you the playbook I put together off my beats and that wasn't enough for you (Rounders)
Stones? you little punk, I'm not playing for the thrill of fucking victory here, I owe rent, alimony, child support, I play for money, my kids eat, I got stones enough not to chase card actions of fucking pipe dreams of winning the world series on ESPN, (Rounders)

I was curious VHB, whats the reasoning you do ML over RL?
If you wanna do a RL bet, I would recommend hedging it with a ML bet as well in at least a 3:1 ratio. I would usually only do RL bets for the visitor team. Mets is a game I like the RL for due to pitching & starting lineups
If RL hits you win both RL & ML
If only ML hits you win small or cover your bet

I've learned never take a runline unless I'm getting +1.5 why give yourself a point spread it's suckers bet if you do the research not too many teams win by the runline

Exactly. Only time I've ever seen someone laying large bets (5k or more) on runlines... they weren't doing it for long if you get my drift. You'll go down faster than a lotto winner on meth.
