Just curious...how much do you guys be betting?

On the NFL I'm betting 100s because I know the sport and seen just about every game since 2009. That's how I started....on the NBA it's a lot smaller unless I really like a game. Although I did bet last post season on NBA playoff games, (even went to game 6 of the NBA finals and got decent seats off my winnings) This is my first full season of NBA betting so I'm just getting my feet wet.

If my bankroll was bigger I'd go a lot harder. That's really my goal right now is just to build a decent bankroll. I feel like I'm good enough for this to be a solid investment for me for years to come.

I guess if youre good enough, I always had the mind frame that its entertainment (at a cost) not an investment

I mean to be honest, I wouldn't bet as much as I did if I didn't feel I could make money consistently otherwise I'm kinda wasting time. I just think you have to approach it knowing that you have to set your bankroll aside, you can't chase and you have to be responsible.

on an average night of betting... how much are u putting up for your bets?

Tonight I have 300 dollars in play on a bunch of different bets.

Through 661 bets from May of Last year I'm 357-293-14 for 54.92%

My percentage has dropped significantly in the past month because I've been betting on way too many games and not really showing discipline. Part of it was me going on tilt from a bad week of NBA after doing very well November & December and part of it is greed.

still though, at the size of your bets u can make some pretty coin off of 54%...

Haralbos Voulgaris is pretty much seen by everyone as the best nba gambler of all time... and at his peak.. he was only hitting 70% of his bets.. i try and keep that in mind.

Self Control is such a big part of it....Breh I was hitting a good 65 percent of my NBA bets in November & December but since I was so focused on the NFL wasn't going ham and betting on EVERYTHING like I am now.
