Please all pay a close attention to what is going on with the Ravens @ Rams game. At the very beginning it was published on most sites that the opening line was -3 Ravens and since it didn't move an inch despite heavy money on the Ravens -3, some - and rightly so - have assumed the line was fishy (along with being MNF) and so the Rams began becoming a popular play of the contrarians. Now, suddenly the opening line has been "adjusted retroactively" to 0 handing an explanation to the heavy money and translating it to -3. I can assure you Vegas is not stupid and knows how to confuse us. Please do noy pull the trigger on that game before we know how Vegas did on Sunday

Hommie you bought the Pats too high, you can find 5.5 easy. Here is another tip for “living” off sports gambling - get the best line you can.
Your strategy is a lecture for teenagers who just start gambling, and good advice for regular players with jobs like us but in no way is your advice a blueprint for living off sports gambling. The reality is those who live off it can pick winners and have the dough to pound games they love as well as money line favs and/or have great systems in long season sports that they ride all season. All the stuff about discipline and bank management is good but doesn’t mean shit if you can’t pick winners and don’t have big money to start.

Just to make sure: I didn't invent this. I m not a student either. I just put some experience and numbers together and conditioned them with some things people wiser and better at sports handicapping have said. Off course, the Condition Number 1 is picking the winners. well, for those as experienced as myself and being around as long as I am - we know that picking the winners is only a third of the solution. It is not enough to create a source of income. Without the Condition Number two - all the money made from winning picks will go down the drain. So, the Condition Number 2 is....... Money Management. Without sound Money Management strategy - making money betting in sports is not possible. (I will expand and elaborate on that a bit more further)

These threads are funny. I’ve been gambling for 30 years I can honestly tell you that had it not been profitable, I wouldn’t still be doing it.
When people start talking about anomalies, algorithms, probability, percentages, system plays, I again, laugh.
Anything controlled by man can be manipulated. Stock market or sports wagering, it doesn’t matter. Now, I’m not saying all games are manipulated or even a large percentage, but to think everything is 100% on the up and up is lunacy. You have to start from that presumption and then move accordingly.
Money management is key. Marathon not a sprint. There are no locks. Never buy a tout’s picks. EVER. Never gamble and drink. Keep it out of your family life. Never chase. The NBA and NFL are at times uncappable, accept that and never think you are smarter than everyone else.
I’ve been a longtime member of Covers but rarely post plays. Why? Bc the climate is so horrible on this website that it’s not worth it. Further, I would never want to be responsible for some degenerate losing his entire bankroll for tailing a play.
Money can be made, but it’s a grind, it takes hours of research, coupled with intuition and experience. BOLTA

First of all I got killed on both picks. But, no chasing. So, I am 4.4% down on my bankroll.
No panic. Just move on and make some adjustments. I got killed with few very best so I am not worried.
Now - the vets that commented here and no matter if you agreed with me partially, absolutely or did not agree at all - THANK YOU. Cause your comments are gold and the discussion is what matters when one common denominator we all have is the understanding that without money management and the discipling policing that money management strategy - no matter how many wins we will have - it will all go down the drain.

Cheers and gl on the journey. I did not see the previous comment of "be my guest and post my pick", but what I stated about Rudolph was right. If they bench him next week, the Steelers become a super interesting team. Today, I like Rams and under. And there are several good player props.

Build a portfolio in the markets with decent yields and live on the dividends. In that scenario, you don't care if the markets go up or down as your well diversified holdings will always pay your way.
Gambling will not take care of you when you hit 53% or less. It will not take care of you when you go on a losing spree and the roll is gone. It's nothing but pure foolishness to think you will provide for your life needs by gambling. I have yet to know anyone that has done it successfully. The battlefield is littered with broke and bankrupted losers.
Your choice.
Gamble for entertainment, invest for wealth!

Yes I do not see anybody beating the Ravens the rest of the football season. Even though the Chiefs always seem to beat them I think now they can beat the Chiefs .
