Anyone who has been gambling a while will know that you only have to hold a 53% winning percentage to break even over time if the juice is the regular -110. A lot of guys, esp the so called experts, will tell you that the biggest reason most people don't make money betting sports is because they bet too many games. I don't agree and here's why.I will list different amounts of bets below, with the winning % and units won with those bets.
Number of bets
50 100 150 200 250
winning %
65 13.3 26.5 39.7 53 66.2
62.5 10.6 21.2 31.9 42.5 53.1 amount of units
won
60 8 16 24 32 40
57.5 5.4 10.7 16.1 21.5 26.9
55 2.7 5.5 8.2 11 13.7
As you can see by the chart, you actually come out with more units if you can keep an average of 55% on 250 bets, rather than 65% on only 50 bets. Your units double when you keep a 57.5% over 250 bets, as opposed to 65% on 50 bets. That means you have a 7.5% cushion to double your investment if you play more games. Just something to keep in mind.
