Hypothetically: if you bet 50% less games but doubled your bet size

[RudyRuder]

would you win or lose more money?


I would probably be right around the same


but if some guys cut out ACTION plays, they would be up a ton instead


NO DISCIPLNE

 

[lemartinsports]

now what if the 50% you chose were all losers, the other 50 winners

ive done that before, during NFL season I would go down every game and make a pick. some picks i chose to bet and share would lose and the others sitting in a notebook would win. but thats all with homework too i guess

It varies.I know bad answer but....

As far as reducing my own plays by 50%. Doesn't happen. If I see a good play, I'm on it. Not cutting any plays out. Too much involved in finding what I think are good plays. Now, if I've been crashing and burning lately, I'll just stop completely for a day or two.


If I do cut back on any plays, it would be on the plays that I might make to tail someone who's been hot. Those get cut if I want to reduce number of plays I'm making. But, I've never tracked if that was a good thing or bad thing.

I was told by a Pai Gow dealer that if I bet more, I win more. Never seem to work out for me.

 

[RudyRuder]

i meant....lets say you have games ranging 1-10

well a game rated 5 is a losing play so you dont bet it (because of juice)


what if you got rid of 5-7.5 rated plays


only bet 7.6 to 10 rated plays


seems like a great idea for most

 

[lemartinsports]

have you tried this before

 

[Franklee168]

I made a comment in the NFL thread about less plays per week and more money on the plays. My theory is that it's hard enough to win 1 game. Why bet on 6?

i lose all the time, it makes no difference for me

the problem is....you have scumbags running "models" saying more is key

and you should be taking advantage of 53% bets, so your winrate should equal to just above winning, because you are leaving money on the table


that just isnt trrue for more people

 

[lemartinsports]

question for everyone, how many bets do you place a day? if you dont mind sharing that info

 

[lemartinsports]

Spot bettor here. My degen days have past me thankfully.

True story: Met my wife because I was her book in the 90's. She never said one word about my plays until I went on a 80k losing streak for about 3 weeks. She said maybe it's time to slow down. I stopped the daily action shortly after.

Wow. You are a disciplined man.
Question: So do you think about the $80k every time you look at your wife? If not, you are truly in love.

 

[RudyRuder]

why is a female betting 80k??????????


no offense LE



but usually degenerates are male

I had to download my sportsbook history to consider this.

During NCAABB 4-5 plays/per day on average.
Last 30 days with MLB and NBA 5-6 plays/day.
Maybe I need to talk to Upyours88...

 

[lemartinsports]

i've been doing 3-4 overall during the day. live betting is rare

its hard not to be a degen when all of your friends are degens. i'm honestly not bad with it though. often i'm the one that has to tell them yo you need to relax

 

[Tanko]

I could see how you are a calming influence Le.
You seem "relaxed"... "chilled".


Of course, when pi$$ed off, I bet you rip your boyfriends eyes out.
