Do you expect to win, or are you resigned to the fact most people lose and you are one of them?

By always making an effort to get the best line, and following some of the good cappers, I always strive to come out with a modest gain. It might not happen due to a bad start in baseball, but I usually always do in NBA, college fb and bk, and nfl.

Journey, I think its obvious that most of us in here really know sports and our stuff, whether it be football, basketball, hockey, baseball, etc........or all! So I think the majority of us expect to win most of our wagers. But I also think we all continue to learn from each other in here in various ways, and thats what makes this site so worth~while.

I think that if we can keep at 55-60% winnings then that is something. I know I will never make a ton wagering I enjoy the entertainment of it

Dante, but you could make somewhat of a "ton" off of it. Your getting more knowledgeable all of the time by learning more about sports, more about different types of wagers, more about different ways to cover you bet....Experience and knowledge are going to help you a lot, especially in here. One thing that helps tremendously Dante, which you may or may not already know, is fantasy games. Either fantasy football, baseball, etc. helps you learn soooooo much more about the players and the game, its unreal.

I expect to lose my life earnings, my marriage and my job due to my gambling addiction...

I usually wager 5-10 dimes per game but I just don't understand why I still have all of the above left to me, especially my wife, lol..

Hell no...

She is blatantly aware of not only how much I gamble, but all of the childish things I do when I lose...

ie...

broken tv sets, screaming every curse word imaginable at the top of my lungs, telling her to get lost when she wants to talk seemingly always at the end of a ballgame with about 2 minutes left!

she just likes abuse I guess..

I basically know I am going down by the end of the year, I do not inflate my figures and pretend to win. You in the long run cannot beat them, if you could every book would be bankrupt. Bet what you can afford to lose only.

Of course we EXPECT to win...that's why we keep gambling over and over again.
And besides even if we don't it's the best entertainment VALUE on the market for your money.
Where else can you get excited and be on the edge of your seat for 2-3 hours during a game you wagered on?
Please don't tell me THE MOVIES as the new MATRIX movie SUCKED the big one, what a big let down...what a Limp Noodle of a story.

Dante, well thats really what I meant, that it would increase your winning %, not necessarily make you a ton. I think I remember you stating in the past that you dont wager very much, am I correct?
 

There's always next year, like in 75, 90-93, 99 &

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm in this to make money
 
Lose is no longer a word used in my dictionary. In order to win you have to go threw the learning process ala losing. Many people mainly squares lose most of the time when they bet. This we know. Im sure when many of us started out we lost till we learned this skill called being sharp. You learn with the hits. Refuse to lose gents.

Hache, good question. I checked it out in the dictionary.

Gamble verb. 1.play games of chance for money.

IMhumbleO, I feel the very nature or laying your bucks down is expecting some back. Only thing is, we are (or at least should be)real enough to understand that it's not 100% of the times you'll get back but you will still expect back 100% of the times you gamble. Part of gambling to me, is the fun in rooting for the team. I bet what I can lose. I keep it simple.

good topic.
