well i see his point here is bayern didnt have to win to advance to the next round in fact they could have lost 4-0 and still advance to the next round plus bayern were to expected to rest their key players and for sporting just the thought of going there and having to win 6-0 it was too much and hope less..
but i read what klinsman (bayren's manager) have to say prior to that game that he would like to couse the same damage to sporting if he could and he did and he has a very attacking mentallity so i can imagin what bayern is capablites are this year..they might win it all!!!
Personally i started with $100
I started with plays of 2 dollars and up to say 5-10 dollars on big plays.
Eventually i managed (in a month) to gather $200 bucks.
I cashed out the initial $100
Since then i started making bigger bets (10-20 dollar bets).
I managed to reach 700 dollars 2 days ago (mind you i've been betting for around 2 months).
My units now are approx worth 50 dollars (so when i have a bet of 1 unit they are usually 50 dollars)
And the half units are about 25 dollars
Lately i've been losing wayyyyy too much (managed to lose around 500 bucks in 2 days). Which has been BRUTAL (lost 3 units only in a Real Madrid loss today = -$150 dollars)
I don't know if you are new to betting, but the best rule to go by is "bet what you can afford to lose". Remember, at the end of the day, the sportsbooks are supposed to make money (hence why they are still in business). Therefore manage your money properly (a big mistake i see is ppl betting bigger and bigger bets cause they lose too much or win too much and get greedy).
When you start, start small with 2 dollar bets, and try to make up all the inital money you put (that way you can do like me and play strictly with profits).
Also, find a good sportsbook.
I'm using Pinnacle, and its AWESOME, haven't had 1 problem with them.
I definitely saw value in the Sporting bet as well, this game could go all the way, mainly because of what chelseafan points out here. I did however not think of such a high score in this crazy game.
As for me, my units are mainly 10/15/20 or 25 dollars each. I do have smaller bets like 1 or 5 dollars for the bigger parlays or correct score bets. I hardly go over 25, but from time to time I do, when I feel very secure. Funnily enough specially those secure bets are the ones that go wrong so far. You have to know that I bet on more games than the average player though.

Thanks bro Im going to follow your advice , what Iwas doing and it worked for me is pick a game and juice it up in a parlay with 1 or 2 nba or college basketball games that I think are really safe and it has worked well but I got greedy and more greedy adding games to make a bigger profit and thats when u lose
Sorry I didn't see this earlier. They answered it exactly right. I thought the fact that Lisbon could win up to 4-0 or even 5-1 and still not advance, plus I read they were sitting some stars and using the 2nd keeper.
Bad beat, so close... only needed a touchdown and 2point conversion to win...
Lucky for me it is just a 1 unit loss.
I bet $30 a unit. down $90.60 on the year.
If I would have won I would have been up.
7-10-2 -3.02 units

That's so true, adding more games will kill you in the end. I did the same before though, so it's nothing to be ashamed of. Actually that is what the bookies want you to do and that's why they are offering them in that way. The ones that actually do hit might be big, but in the end it's the bookie that still makes the money out of it.
I don't know much about basketball, specially not the NCAA, however I tried a bit a couple of weeks ago with some tips from this board with mixed success. Now I stick to sports I know more about. Tennis is not going proper at the moment. Winter sports went OK, NHL went so-so and next up will be MLB. I stay away from the pre-season and from the WBC, although I do like what I see from the Dutch team.
Apologies to CP-hero for messing up his thread.
