Hey Ice,
What does your day consist of???? What edge do you look for in gambling, are you just looking for the best number, stats, steam, what do you think is the biggest thing you look at to make you want to get down on a game????
Good questions.
Wake up around 7am vegas time with a list of things to do in front of me. I always have a list of things to do with me but I always get pissed because I never get much done off of it no matter where I have lived, LOL.
A lot of my day consists of keeping my 2 dogs happy and active. They are the closet thing in the world to us so keeping them content is important. I give them a 30 min walk in the morning. Go to the RX and just surf around the net for an hour or two. I keep up with the sports scene by reading everything then there are certain cappers I look for and their plays. I try and always get a better number then they post. For example I bet the over in the WNBA game (houston 145 @-105) tonite based on a very reputable capper named Helmut. This number should beat the closing line and that is my main foucs as a bettor, getting down great bets at great numbers. I cannot stress that enough, BEAT THE CLOSING LINE!!! I have numerous thought and ideas on how I do that. If you cannot do this over the long haul you lose. For example in the NFL right now I have plays like Detroit -2.5, Dallas -3.5, Denver -2.5, Jax -3 -05, KC +17. In my opinion foucs on that more than anything, way more than handicapping (just my opinion).
Today i am going to bank to w/d some money and reloading at 3 books all of which have decent bonus packages I like (20% or more). I hope to really do a good job moving money every week to take advantage of this small things that add up. God I miss the Neteller days. But this is one huge reason I moved here is to have time to take advanatge of things. Trying to stay in around 10-15 offshore books at once is my goal. This process is time consuming for obvious reasons.
I will be ordering the line service sportsoptions today. Most of the day I try and have that up and if I see anything moving I will pop at a slow moving book. I may get out of the bet later in the week but at least i am down on it. I think one of the main things you need to do while doing this is always stay orgainized and write everything down, so I do that as soon as I am done making a bet.
Basically more time getting orgainazed and studying the lines. It is all about heavy volume with the best number possibile for me. I try and keep a sheet next to me keeping track of how many units a week I am putting thru the books. My goal is 500 units a week which is 50k. Would love for it to be closer to 75k. I try and win at a minimum of 2% at the end of the month. I like to try and study all this stuff throughout the week and the plays I have down so I have a good feel when an oppurtunity arises. I noticed I am not in great "gambling shape" right now and am forgetting a lot of little things.
Around noon another dog walk, then have to a route of casinos. I bought a 8 inch (have to see this to believe it) laptop yesterday so I will be unsing that to help me. I have strike prices on NFL games if I see I will hit them. Bottom line if I find a game that has a great number I bet it. Not sure how and if ths is worth it (driving to casinos on tuesday afternoon) but feeling this out right now. There is a guy from another fourm who I would like to meet for lunch this week and he is going to fill me in on some thing I can do on the side with promo cards. I am still signing up for them at every casino I enter. Should start getting mailers soon. I have been practicing video poker at a site kermit gave me and hope to add this into my day when I am at the casino. Nothing to go out of the way for, just if I am already there. You have to play PERFECT VP or your very small edge is gone. Plan on being at casino shopping numbers from 1-4. Come home around 5pm to meet GF.
I also need to some odds and ends stuff throughout the day like change address, write a few e-mails, get rid of ants that are showing up in one spare room, buy leather seat covers for vehicle for dog hair problem. Your standard stuff everyone else does.
Nite time is my favorite time as I feel I get way more done. Basically just have screens up (2 monitors at all times) looking for the way I find bets and hang out at RX all nite. Like I said the goal is to have X amount of bets by the end of the week. Realize that the half of my plays come on gameday with late stuff and halftimes, etc.
That pretty much sums up a day in the life of the Iceman (sound exciting? LOL), remember today is Tueday so also take that into consideration.
