Has anyone made any money betting on sports steadily throughout the past year? 'cause I did! See how

thanks man, i think after a long winning week, a week off may help, or just setting regulations for myself. i hope we can all start winning. im gonna post in here for a while.

Over 3,500 posts... are you guys making any money? I don't see Mavin's record posted anywhere. It looks to me like this is the longest and most useless thread in Covers history. Am I wrong?

Just joined today, but at least it has a very posotive approach something most people need.

^^^^^^^

this thread is for novices learning to control themselves with money management and learning the basic techniques of sports betting. otherwise yes, this thread is ridiculous

steelcash why dont u ACTUALLY read the posts before writing sumthing pointless and non-constructive??if u had u wud hav noticed that mavin posts his results regularly,daily at least.how did u come to find this forum without the ability to read??

Good luck to ya jgjtrapboss, it's a great forum and I'm looking forward to your plays. We've all had money management problems, mine wasn't so much chasing losses as it was chasing wins! After I'd get up a bunch I would say what the hell, I'm way up, I'll bet more and play more games and the next thing I knew I would be right back where
I started. I had to learn to take the emotion out of the game and that is a bitch!

I wrote bit ch but the covers automatically change it to girl. That's another thing they don't let you cuss on here,

hey why don't you stick to your thread CM!

recap:new orleans +6.5 loss

portland +4.5 win

denver -6 win   

2-1 for the day, 9-4-1 record to date on this thread

Early RLM

-Charlotte/Boston  line opened -11.5 for boston, line is now -11 with public support for the celtics

-Okc/Phoenix line opened -6 for Okc, line went down to -5 and is now at -5.5, with public support on Okc

-Orlando/Washington line opened -2.5 for washington and is now -2, have to check public support during the day because i have sites(2) that list washington as public team, and another site that lists orlando as public team.to be continued....

What site do you use to see if its public or sharp action?  Thanks!

not sure i can post these sites because of covers rules, but if you search "public bet percentages" i'm sure you will find some!

Locked in Charlotte +11:

-bobcats are 10-2 ATS in hteir last 12 in boston

-bobcats 4-3 ATS vs.over .500 teams on road

-road team is 4-0 ATS in this matchup

-boston 0-5 ATS on 2 days rest

-boston 2-3 ATS at home vs.sub .500 teams

-boston 3-8-1 ATS after scoring 100+

Sorry the copy paste did not include my write up-

One other thing that I think is important, and if Mavin doesn't agree with this then taht is okay as well.  But I actually don't mind when people post and they don't bet exactly like Mavin preaches, we all have are own idea and methods for betting.  Have I improved because of Mavin, yes I have, but I do feel that if you like doing parlays, or like betting more games, then that is ok, as long as you have a good explanation to back up why you bet the certain way you do, and how it is profitable over time.  I mean thats a big point of this thread, is to make everyone better at betting as a whole, not about what so and sos record is.  Do results, show acknowledgement of a certain method, well of course it does.  But those results are over a long, long, haul, not a day, or week, or sometimes even a month...after a few months you get an idea of what is really going on.  Now do i expect to be up every month, of course I do, but the fact that people keep jumping on how someone does in one day....unless they bet 40 games and lose 35, it doesn't show a true projection of how you bet.  We all have to keep an open mind, however that doesn't mean come on here and go: dude my record is like 35-12 in last ten days, and then post your picks, show no method for winnning, and then reject everyone elses way of betting.  Obviously there are exceptions, like that idiot yesterday who just said i bet 70 games and get 5 percent value, you obvoiusly have to make sense, in why you bet a certain way that you do that shows profit.  But I guess my point, is I'm open to different forms of betting, as long as it is profitable, but those are results we have to see over time,  I don't plan on changing my approach much, but we can all learn new ways to make money.....I mean seriously for the last time, this thread is more about the methods of being profitable over time, not wow dude you suck you went 1-4 today......and of course it doesn't mean I am going to agree with the way everyone bets, but if it works for you and its profitable, I'm willing to hear about it,  We can all take what we want from what each person says, and get the rid of what we dont want.  There is no reason to be judgemental of the way people bet unless its obvious over time that your way wouldn't be profitable or that we feel that a certain way might be better to bet.  But we can all learn, I mean how many times do you hear Mavin compliment other people for there bets.  Now, how many times do you think Mavin goes on other peoples threads and tells them everything they are doing wrong in their betting styles???....We all have a certain way that works for us, but we can all get better at this.....so lets make some money and support each other at the same time....

whoop whoop....
