I know alot of successful betters, not one of them middle. once in a blue moon I will go for a NBA total middle with the game with the 2nd half. I think if you are a good handicapper or someone that gets good 1st hand information on a daily basics you will win a ton more as long as you manage your money and dont make any force plays. I tell this to people everyday, if you beat the line you beat the game, thats the whole key beating the line. I"m not saying middling is a losing proposition, but I seen alot of good middlers go dead broke. I know alot of smart people not ONE of them ever brags about how much they win. Smart PEOPLE dont advertize how smart they are, they dont believe in it, atleast all the ones I know anyway. I never in life would ever listen to someone that tells me how smart he is, I want to listen to the person that plays dumb. Baseball starts tomorrow and I think its the easiest Sport to beat by FAR, I cant wait for it to get here. I REPEAT I"m not saying you cant win middling games, its just not my cup of tea.
