I have been following your posts long before this topic was posted and have seen that you are more disciplined now in your wagers and outlook.

Keep it going buddy 






You Sir, are an Idiot. 


The mathematics for what CG needs to accomplish

DO NOT ADD UP.

You think CG is making money? 

No, he is losing money.

Look, Listen, and especially LEARN...

Some of the comments have concerned habits necessary for long term success, those should be valuable to you. There is no reason to up your bets immediately or simply for the sake of more action.
Some people think you were undercapitalized, which may be valid.

The bottom line is, you've done well so far and seem to be developing a social circle. It seems like you made a good decision for yourself. No need to get defensive.

I've never advised you to specifically raise your bets. I have simply advised research bank roll management and how to raise your bets in accordance to your roll. Good luck buddy!

Spend last night capping at a table in an empty sportsbook with your laptop instead of spending it having hanky panky with MILF's, perhaps it's a 3-1 day instead of a 1-3 day.

Adding Illinois is what angered me. Anytime I add a bet I don't truly love it loses. I said 3 plays today... Oregon, Milwaukee bucks and zona state. Would have been fine with that 1-2 because really liked all three but added Illinois like a jerkoffff

Scal I have no problem with you like most of the forum but what is with the negativity? No need to be a smarta*s for the sake of being a smarta*s.

Just let him do his thing and what he wants. The backhanded comments aren't really needed.

CG,

I think your approach to this whole Vegas move/transition has been very smart and disciplined. 

I mean you are in a new land (literally), exploring uncharted territory, learning the lay of the land, learning the roads, learning the ins and outs of getting to and fro from casino to casino to your apartment. You had to buy furniture and food and all that crap that comes along with moving. Plus you ponied up your first few months rent which is very smart.

550 a game is a lot of money. Especially on a game to game basis day in and day out. 

I think it's very wise to start with that and build it up. Your up a few grand in 2 weeks. Not bad at all. I'm not sure what everyones expectations are here…I guess everyone makes a lot more money than I do 

Start slow…build up your roll and as you hit plateaus, up your bets when it is appropriate. 

I don't think you are "leaving hundred dollar bills on the table". I mean you are literally just getting started and getting used to everything. 

But just bounce back from today and move on to tomorrow man. 


I guess what I am getting at is if you make 50k in a year…that's not bad at all considering the cost of living in Vegas is so cheap.

I mean Christ, start kind of small and work your way up.

. Thanks for the comment Goose. 

Every one wants to tell this guy how to wager. Let him live and learn the way all professional gamblers have had to do. Sure he is going to make mistakes who doesn't. At least he had the guts to give it a try and I applaud him for that.

What's backhanded? 

Did he not agree with me because well, it makes sense? 

If I were doing what he is trying to do, MILF's would be a complete nonissue for me because they wouldn't exist. The next day's games would exist. My 'fun' would be capping...period.

Las Vegas, and everything that surrounds it, will swallow you up and spit you out curbside with lint in your pockets.

There are very thin profit margins here, and although 1-3 will happen from time to time, they are simply unacceptable as a result of reckless behavior the night before a quartet of bets.
