Avoid chasing is essentially money management.

Avoid chasing is essentially money management.

The point I was going to make.

And until you learn this anything else you think of to list when it comes to gambling is irrelevant.

 

[613tunit]

My bad. I removed Avoid chasing.

How do you define chasing? Doubling your next bet?

 

[JDS]

How do you define chasing? Doubling your next bet?

Making extra bets you might not normally make to get back to even, or yes martingale 2X your next bet.

How do you define chasing? Doubling your next bet?

Just going on tilt.

sometimes in my youth I’d lose $100 on a bad beat and it would piss me off so bad I’d chase getting that $100 loss back and next thing you know it would cost me $1000 or more.

we all have some moments like this from time to time. But learning to not go on tilt will save you tens of thousands over time

 

[JDS]

So actually if you think about it, being selective can play a big roll with money management as well.

 

[613tunit]

If I bet a 55% play at noon for $100 and lose. Then at 4pm I bet a 55% play for $200.

Is that chasing?

Yes, pick an amount you wanna bet & stick with it. I’m sure for you it’s going to be way more than $200. I remember you telling me you want come in with a 100K bankroll. I would bet 2.5% if I had your money = 2,500 per game.

 

[613tunit]

I’m just using those easy numbers as an example. I’d like to deposit as much as Pinnacle will let me for my BR. Once I start to bet I also plan to use 2.5% of my BR and will ALWAYS bet the same amount. This makes it easy to determine if I’m chasing but what about people who consistently vary their bet amounts

Don’t depend on him to get real specific about anything anymore “Ground Hog Day” for him these days lol.

100% of successful gamblers can care less about stats, lineup's, records, players
