You’re welcome astrat108, and I have to say I like the way your roll brother, thanks for the comment ….    Julespussy, we are going to have to disagree on that then, speaking from personal experience, I spent the first few years of my career being disciplined, but focusing on daily results above all else and like I stated, I am no genius, but I am no dummy either.  So I believe, and have seen many like me who this concept never occurred to them……..  Extremely well said lordzud, very much so brother!  I don’t believe however anyone ‘wants’ to be stupid, but once more, emotion pushes any/all logic out and their whole operating  format is emotional which makes self evaluation and intelligent re-direction completely impossible.  BOL my brother

Well put.  I think about that everytime I read these posts about players and how these guys are trashing them.  Imagine the tables turned and these guys were the ones in the spotlight.  Anyways, good read. 
Thanks.  Best of luck!

This was a great read. Like you you were talking about me. Years of doing just that and losing. My bankroll is not that large of I would need to adjust accordingly. I don't live on my computer so getting all your selections is difficult. I'll just hope the ones I get will help me. Thanks j, I believe you to be an honest and up front individual and willing to help people like me. Peace, Brother!

Yeah BountyHunter13, I agree.  If some of the degenerates were the ones required to perform every night in front of thousands (hundreds a thousand actually) it would not be pretty, if the actual players they are hating on were as emotional as the degenerates, it would be downright ugly.  They vent their emotions which, as in this thread, is the one thing that is killing their money… ridiculous…………    

Skrkro, keep checking whenever you can, I sometimes post plays as early as the night before the games.  Thanks for the kind words…….   Thanks for saying so Joepecsi, it is much appreciated brother……   DTPACE, think about this brother… if you were playing for $0.01 per game, I promise you that you would not have an ounce of emotion on that game unless you had an affinity for one, or both, of the teams in the matchup.  Find the right largest amount that you can stay unemotional, I recommend no more than 3% of your bankroll per game and have no more than 6% in play at any one time.  BOL to you ……    Ali_  Thanks brother!  Peace and BOL to you……

I do appreciate you trying to help others, that is always a worth while cause. However, this endeavor like many others is a baptism by fire learning curve. People who blindly listen to a person on an internet forum on how to gamble are the same people who blindly tail someone's plays = lost cause

But that is a fine looking soapbox you got there

And remember, I'm also just a guy on an internet forum. All in good fun. Carry on

 I thoroughly your thoughts on sports betting, and see many of the losers you mentioned, they are there in numbers especially on weekends during football season.

  In my experience road favorites, regardless of sport will kill you over the long haul.

Not quite sure if I should say “thank you” or “F*** you” lol, j/k.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and I respect that God given right.  I would however direct you to the multitude of links to all my daily posts.  That is 6 weeks of continual results verified, but what is 6 weeks?  Many squares go on hot runs, but rarely 6 weeks long—I cannot think of many I have seen, and virtually living in a sports book in Vegas for years, I have seen more than you can imagine.  On top of this there is 228 plays made averaging (playing moderately) $27.71 in profit per every play counted.  Call me a lunatic, but I’d have to say that buys me a little bit of proven expertise, and not just an ‘unknown’ poster of an internet forum.  If you don’t think so, show me one other, any other on this forum that can match that performance, I’d be curious to know if he/she exists.  Sure, I could be posting play denominations that I actually play (I mathematically scale my posted denominations in proportion) and show a much higher profit in dollars.  If there is one or two, I could then only wish my full season was in view and verified, and then there would be no others in contention, but that is just my ‘words’ and not something I would be willing to verify simply for proving a point to you or anyone else.   In closing to this interesting reply, I would ask you a question to boot:  Accepting that this concept of making logical vs emotion actions/reactions/decisions is applicable to not just sports wagering, but virtually everything in life itself….. why would someone be quite as pessimistic in their comment if it is something that even a fool would clearly see as solid advice in all things?   Hmmmmm a question to ponder indeed.  BOL to you brother

MrECapps Thanks brother, and BOL to you….   Braves5795, yeah buddy they are the predominant majority, but that is exactly why this opportunity has always, and will always be there for us to benefit from.  I will say this, you thought on road favorites is solid, BUT I operate from very few ‘rules’ (don’t bet these, that, or this scenario/that scenario.  There are opportunities in all areas, and risks in all areas as well.  Just a thought, GL to you in all things brother …..    Thanks lazylover, I appreciate that….
