Making our Pockets Fat again AGAIN PT 2 - Official Gambling Thread

what are ya'll's preferred ways of betting? as in, do you prefer taking a bunch of bets throughout the day? parlays?, spread/vs money line, etc., etc.

I've tried about every "system" or "strategy" you can possibly imagine over the last ten years or so as an occasional bettor, and I'll tell you what seems to work the best for me is just going with your gut and keeping it simple. one or two SPREAD bets per day. not that I'm some expert by any means, but I've found that if you study all of the lines throughout each day and narrow it down to the best 3 or 4 and then going with 1 or 2 of those, you're odds of winning go up dramatically.

now of course to really make CONSISTENT money you're gonna have to have a decent bankroll (at least $500-$1,000 per bet), but if you can stay around that 60% winning percentage (which is much easier to do when narrowing it down to 1 or 2 daily bets), the possibilities are endless depending on your bankroll. have spent tons of time in the past taking 10-15 bets per day, parlays, etc.. and all that's fun and can pay off at times, but IMO the consistent money is trusting your gut and narrowing it down to 1 or 2 per day.

dont bet eeryday

determine a $ amount per unit ex.. 1 unit =$50

never bet more than 5% of your bankroll on any single bet.. ex bankroll = 1000 max bet should be $50

bet 1-3 units per bet..

dont feel the need to bet every single day


patience is the key.. do not look at your success day to day.. think long term..

im starting to to feel like i gotta do no more than 4 a day. and i gotta be more disciplined. if i dont have the time to thoroughly research my bets, i shouldnt be making them.

I'm done with parlays. if i do them i will do no more than 3 games and will do like $100 down max unless its tax refund day or bonus check day or sumn

if you must parlay

If you get to the final leg

do what me and @BucciMane did early this year with Oklahoma and Seahawks games


Just hedge and bet the other side. You guarantee yourself a profit.

If you got a $5 parlay to win $180 bux just throw $180 on the other side. You guaranteed to be up $180 either way.

Sometimes you might even middle the bet and win both sides.


Like tonight I had sizers +6 on a parlay last leg. Waited a bit on live bet and took Lakers +14.5.

Now Im guaranteed to win both bets and lakers on the come back so I might actually win both hopefully


But the point is you dont have to lose out on potential profit if you hedge that last leg. There is no reason to let a profit fly out the window like that.

but if in your scenario the parlay wins...that means you broke even no?
dont you mean put down 90 and lock in 90 bucks profit. my bad if my math is off its late lol

always good to hear everyone's strategy and feedback

patience is key no doubt. didn't necessarily mean you "have to bet everyday", but if the right bets are there then take them. regardless if that happens 30 days in a row in a month, or only 15 of those 30 days. the 5% of your bankroll number can be argued, but again, we all have our ways. thanks for your feedback

I hear you. I feel like parlays are only fun if you have a smaller wager on them and can afford the loss. there's a reason why most serious bettors consider all parlay bets as "sucker bets". they sound too good to be true, and probably 85% of the time they are.

personally gave up parlays years ago. not saying I wouldn't drop a $20 on one again or something just for fun, but I never expect to win consistently with them so I never even think about them anymore.

lol let's see

 

[CBSwagga]

Maryland +2 (game could go either way and Indiana is amazing at home, but they don't shoot FTs well and in a close game that could be the deciding factor.)
Iona -2

If today goes bad, I'm either quitting cold turkey or calling the hotline.

 

[Leasy]

Saint Lous vs Fordham - St Louis -14 Total Points over under 119

Kyrgios moneyline for a longshot

He gets up for nadal matches and has beat him a few times

Main worry is his fatigue from previous match. Dude doesnt train at all so his conditioning isnt where it should be
