Key good to see things are still the same here and yes the amount of money loss is important in the long run and those that flat bet the way you do keep their self in the game without going broke over and over.And your run of luck this year can be called nothing but bad,at times so bad there was humor to it. But I think you will survive this year but next year all winners from you,,GL tonight.
the truth, spoken by a TRUE friend......

It appears everyone calculates different. Idk what the starting bankroll is or if there was one. But simple math says, if you have $10,000 and 261 bets later you have $9275, then you are down $725, or 7.25%. Forget the calculation of risking $27,000 total and being down 6000. That math doesn't even add up. I've said many times, W/L means nothing in a money line sport. Are you betting to win games, or betting to win money?
I am down this year, I don't post on here often. I'd be lying if I tried to say otherwise. But I'd take 121-140 and being even or down $700, than being 140-121 taking all lines of -200 or more as many people do. Again simple math would say 250 bets laying $200 to win $100 is quite the loss. Assume same $10000 starting bankroll, 140x100 is 14,000 and 121x200 is 24200. Oops, you're broke and reinvesting because you lost your 10K! Then throw in lack of discipline, couple parlays, chase games, etc... now you've paid your book 10k and owe him 10 more that you don't have..... I'll take keys educated and unlucky 121-140 and down $700 over some of your uneducated guesses 140-121 winning record down a years salary. (It's just an example)
End rant, sorry!
