    I was just wondering if anyone had a betting strategy to help me make an extra $500 a month?  I know that is not a lot, but that is what I want to do.  Kind of like a hobby I guess. I don't have a very large amount of money that I could use to start with.  I know if would be easy to place a large amount on a ML winner, but I don't want to do that.  I guess what I'm asking is there a proven way that I could make a little bit of money each month without having to risk a lot each day, wk, etc.  I would just like to see if this would be at all possible.  Thanks in advance.

    The only way is to cap the games and pick what you thing is best.  Limit yourself to just a few plays a day at the most.

    There is no magic system formula that will make you money.

    Don't play huge ML's.  Keep it at -140 or lower
    Follow the forums and look for the hot cappers if you can't/don't want to cap yourself.

    Take a look at the daily pucks thread, that's a great place to start.

    Never wager more than 3% of your bankroll on one game.  And they actually is a tick to high.

    Labourchere is money management of stakes but less risky and more time consuming than Martingale.  In both systems, profits can be achieved with over 33% accuracy in picks but a long losing streak can result in loss of bankroll.

    +17 a day = +500 a month ?

    i think you have bigger problems to deal with besides figuring out how to win gambling

    Hey Cappingstrong, if you figure the average month has 30 days, then $17 a day is $510 per month.  What bigger problems are you talking about with this guy?

    You'll have to have a minimum of $5000 bankroll to make $500 monthly safely.

    To make that bankroll, you'll have to deposit the money or grow it from small money and then you can withdraw an average 500 bucks monthly.

    Since you don't even know how to do it, I suggest you should deposit small money and start growing it slowly. If you can make 5000 dollars from 100 dollars in 3-4 years, then you're doing well and you can confidently make 500 dollars monthly after that. You have to have money to make it. It's not an easy ride to make 500 dollars monthly.

    Chose a site using small minimum bets and good odds! I suggest Matchbook for a start.
