Hey all,

Just getting started with betting, taking it easy trying to soak up as much as I can. But, I would like to ask some pretty simple questions first. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but it seemed a good place as it is part to do with "strategy."

1) Would there be any point in doing a straight, flat bet on a winning team for every game an entire season? For instance, take the Yankees last year and bet 100$ on them money line every game? Or would the house end up on top? (assume that you have 1000$ to start and they never lose 10 in a row for the first part of the season)

2) For someone with a limited budget ( 1000 or so) what would be the best types of money management?

3) For a beginner, is betting a larger amount on a 'sure thing' (I know there's no such thing) better than betting a little on a lot of things, or simply choosing the best available picks you feel will win and putting a moderate amount on them (1-2% of budget seems to be a good estimate based on some posts)

4) I know this one will probably see some differing answers, but: When you see a team on a winning streak, do you bet on or against them (I guess chase or fade?) and same with a losing streak?

5) Say you know a team is terrible on the road (for instance a team in MLB goes 25-56 on the road previous season, and hasn't improved) would it be profitable to bet against them all 81 games they are on the road the following season?

Sorry if these are ridiculous questions, but you gotta start somewhere I guess, Thanks
