    Wouldnt a reality tv show been off the charts starting with his journey on the road heading to Las Vegas?

    Sadly the only shot this guy has to living his dream is to shut down this Covers Circus, eliminate the negativity and grind out some early profits to build a bigger bankroll.

    CG's youtube clips are much better than any Reality Show.

    Here's College Gambler youtube channel if you haven't seen it already...

    Not sure where the hostility comes from.  We were having a very good discussion about bankroll management in his thread and then it went straight to He11.

    You are a wise vetran of covers and gambling with wisdom that most simply are either to stubborn or dumb to absorb.

    I lived in Vegas working as a golf instructor a few years back. $375 k house and making conisitent gambling $ grinding out monthly profits living that dream. I sometimes waited two or three days before finding a game i felt i had a sizable edge.

    I am looking at Monday's card here this morning and see absolutely zero.  Think I'll just take a day off and run some errands.  Take Wifey out to dinner.  Baskets will offer more opportunity next month with the Tournament and Hockey is just not my sport.  Can't wait for Baseball and all the plus money Dogs.

     I had him figured out from day one.  CG asked for other's opinions when he started the journey, but now is upset when people give their constructive criticism.

    It seems obvious to me that he is very stressed out, with his addictive personality, and the constant, rude chewing of tobacco in his videos.

    I applaud CG for having the balls to do what many of us only dream of, but he seems way too immature and naive, to realize the difficulty he is facing.

    And with his recent arrogance and defiance, it is actually getting much harder to root for his success, and much easier to wait for his downward spiral, and to give him a much needed lesson in humility.

    And with his recent arrogance and defiance, it is actually getting much harder to root for his success, and much easier to wait for his downward spiral, and to give him a much needed lesson in humility.


    Yeah, tough call with CG, but i'm with you for the most part. I'm rooting for him as well because he had the balls to back himself and give his dream a shot but it has become a little tougher to do so recently. He is definitely believing his own hype and anyone who isn't patting him on the back and telling him how fantastic he is has now become the enemy.

    While Vanzack might not be everyone's cup of tea dismissing him and his wealth of experience so readily shows both arrogance and ignorance. He needs to get rid of the leeches and backslappers and start tapping the advice of some smarter members on this site.

    A little humility would not go astray.

    I applaud CG for having the balls to do what many of us only dream of, but he seems way too immature and naive, to realize the difficulty he is facing.

    I've known Vanzack and he's known me under a few usernames for the last decade. He tells it like it is and is sharp as a tack!
    I told CG to stay put and offshore bet a few accounts and he'd do much better. VEGAS VIG is the main reason! You can do much better online. You go to vegas to party and that's about it.
    Sure you can gamble in Vegas but being at a Vig disadvantage is just dumb AS WELL as everything else in vegas (girls, drugs, booze, cons), will drop you like a sinker in the middle of the pacific ocean!!!!!

    Answer me this then. Why do the top pros operate out of Vegas?? I'm not just saying Billy Walters, who is in Vegas, but the hundreds of others out here.


    Give you a hint, cash in hand is one of the many reasons

    I would answer your question with a question.

    What is the evidence behind your statement that "the top pros operate out of Vegas"?

    You make a statement like that - I assume you have some sort of reason for making it.

    Hi guys a lot of you have some very good advise and alot of experience I have a question about flat betting vs 2 team parlays.

    70% of the time I do 2 team parlays instead of 2 single bets for $100 each, I had a lot of success last year in MLB with this but i want to improve and do better any help would be great, should I keep doing this or single bets??

    What is your win percentage?

    Do you get real odds parlays?  (in other words, is it a true rollover)

    The top pros love Vegas because they can tell people they are a sports handicapper and no one looks at them like they are worse than a pedophile.  But that doesn't mean Vegas is where their action goes.  If someone is that good a capper, he is going to have people willing to put in his bets, so they can tail.  He can be anywhere he wants, but anyone betting decent amounts and smart enough to win is paying no more than -105 on a bet.

    just saw this thread lol.

    I mean I think overall I am very humble.. check my videos, always show up win or lose.

    once I have people starting to make fun of my losing days though like scalabrine than I get angry.

    and I wouldn't call it constructive criticism when Vanzack and so many already say they know how this journey will end..Because why? because 2% can do this? why can't I be in the 2% anyone who follows me see's I have a skill for picking games..  besides that there are def some good "suggestions"

    Not sure where the hostility comes from.  We were having a very good discussion about bankroll management in his thread and then it went straight to He11.


    I always appreciate the comments good or bad but when I have 10-15 people telling me how to run my own show and analyzing my every step and move than at times I do get a little angry that's all...  I then calm down and regroup

    CG - this is a good place to address this outside the zoo that is your thread...

    Are you serious?  You cant be. 

    I have stated that with everything I know about you - which is only what you have chosen to share - that you will not be able to live with a 30k bankroll and 3k a month expenses without supplemental income.

    Look - I say this because I come from a place of experience.  Im not guessing, and I am not a 20 something fanboy like those in your thread.  You clearly don't like to hear that, but it is true.

    You put yourself in a world of -110 wagers, where every single wager you make you are overpaying.  You put yourself in a land of not being able to guarantee yourself the best line - which also means you are greatly overpaying.  You have living expenses.  Your "money management" is far from scientific - it is guesswork at best.  You ignore all good advice (myself excluded) that is given in your thread in favor of those that stroke your ego.

    This is a very dangerous combination.  I have a 5k wager with a buddy of mine that you will be done by football season.  If you make it to NFL opening kickoff, I will be 5k poorer.  If you disappear we call it a push.

    Right now - with your current strategy - I put you at -400 to not make football season on your current bankroll at your current burn rate.

    I would be happy if you prove me wrong - but your constant refusal to take constructive criticism means that you will fail on your own doing - which isn't the worst thing in the world.  If there were 10 CGs doing exactly what you are doing, I think 2-3 would be around for football.  Maybe you one of those 2-3, but that's what gambling is all about.

    No vig - just 5k.  Its a buddy of mine.  In the grand scheme of things, I would call that a fun bet between us - we go a little nuts sometimes between us.

    Thursday night NFL - not college!

    Prove me wrong. I hope you do.  But if you are going to make it, I might pay you a few thousand sometime in early September to just disappear for a month.

    That is absolutely correct.  He is a believer.

    But he also lost 5k to me on the Oscars last night by allowing me to pick the top 5 categories.  I bet him straight up that if I missed one, I lost.  I calculated from the prediction markets that I had a -180 advantage.

    He is more of a gut feel guy.  I am more stats based.  But we give and take each others money all the time.
