I don’t miss the pressure anymore Sunday’s

How do some of you handle it

Not worth it

 

[Wagerallsports]

No pressure my friend as long as you are betting what you can afford to lose

 

[jjgold]

That’s why I bet $1 to $5 a game

Why was there pressure JJ? Did you need to win to make rent back in the day?

 

[charliebrown]

Just small bets Sunday jj. Can't be pissed and tired headed into the week

I feel the pressure, especially on Saturdays. I'm buying all in my strategic Fund strategies all week as lines move using a large pool of cash and credit.

I honestly think it's more stressful than being a financial advisor at Merrill.

The stress starts out worrying we won't have enough plays, that the market will remain tight and we won't find "edges."

Then the stress shifts as plays begin to mount and volume, from different strategies and even sometimes being on both sides of games, begins to increase.

So far so good, but I'm not going to lie, I feel the pressure that can turn into stress.

The key is to not let that short circuit rational thinking.

This is tough, but I asked for it.

Its always stress when the games don’t go like you think they should.

Exactly when you have a plan and you stick to it then gambling isn't so bad. It's when you lose and then start chasing with money you probably shouldn't bet with that you get in trouble. I don't have that problem because I have a strict money management plan that I adhere to no matter if I'm winning or losing so it keeps gambling fun and responsible.

How about all the bad beats that happen all the crazy plays and dumb decisions make it worse

The key is knowing what you have to risk and accepting you may lose that entire roll from the start and accepting it.

If you can’t accept the risk - don’t play.

I walked in knowing what I have to start at the beginning of a season - do what I need to to build that roll as profitably as I can - bonus whoring, taking advantage of promos and live betting as needed to add to the bankroll - especially early in seasons when opportunity abounds.

From there - selectively take your shots. Don’t feel the need to be in action every game/day. 2-3 plays is often the max some weekends. Do your homework and concentrate your plays. Betting $10 every game the only sure thing is you will never win enough to enjoy and most times you’ll lose. And follow proven cappers on the forums. Doesn’t mean every one of their ideas are right - but picking from the games they post eliminates 90% of the selection and allows you a head start in doing your own homework.
