201-156-5 for last 30 days....but not making $$$. Any tactics for money managment?

I'm 201-156-5 for the month of November. 57% winning percentage yet barely profitable.

Any suggestions on how to better manage my bets and bet amounts?

I follow these posts and see how others make money, but I struggle staying ahead even with a decent winning %

you have to be either making to many parlay's or your getting beat more often than not when step out and make your monster plays.

at 57% you should be living large, gl

it's an awful lot of plays. I'm not one of those guys that says stick to 2 or 3 a day but you have an average of 12 per day, you're just beggin to be juiced out everyday with that many bets. Plus you can't have the amount of time needed to properly cap 12 plays a day and feel good about them all...

Drop it down a bit and see how you do then...

If you go that record and you flat bet and the average line is -110..

You would be up 15.6 units if you bet 1 unit a game or 31.2 units if you bet 2 units.

If you buy points a lot, it would cut out a lot of the profit..

Thanks, very true...I was teasing football too much.  I've since stopped and am starting to make money sticking with straight betting.  I'd loose alot on Saturday/Sunday then make it up during week on Hockey/NBA

Good advice!! I've created a systems that shortens the evaluation time for capping games. I need to be more critical of the number of picks

I try to win 1 unit with each bet...is this correct or should I bet same units...the odds for the game messes with my units calculation.

Not all bets are at -110 (ranges widely)

I was using too many teasers.

Thanks so much

Great advice.....I've been using a mix of teasers and straight betting either against O/U or ML or pts.

I checked my account online and then counted wins/losses/ties.  I was surprised I wasn't further ahead with the 201 - 156 - 5 record.

I need to go check teasers verus straight up to figure this out.

Can you clarify how to bet with "units" versus dollars?

Thanks so much

Thank you everyone for the advice

After further review of my betting practices:

I was 172-123 (58% winners) on straight-up bets (various odds but majority between -110 and -150)

Then 26-36 (42% winners) on teasers and parlays where I would bet more money to try and win more money....

Straight bets from here on out!!!!

Thanks so much again for the insight
