Thanks again OF. One of my roomies here at FSU caps baseball pretty well, and if he is on one side of my scalp, I lean towards it. Regardless, you have to be smart enough to know what "the right side" is in a bet. Because I don't know that, and won't be able to do it consistently over 162 game season, taking an even scalp suits me just fine.
I started my gambling adventure last fall and started with $75. After this AFL season, I finally caught up to what bad money management cost me last year. Now my bankroll is much higher, making these scalps, albeit for as small as $5 at a time, at least tangible money. As Fishhead said more or less, scraping $5 out of the gutter here and there adds up.
As far as my AFL record... perhaps you should go check out my thread. Added 50+% to my account this year and hope to continue building as the season wears on. THAT is a game I can cap and cap well, thus it's what I put my time and energy into.
And just for the record, next year around this time, I'll be 21... and requesting to have the "kid" tag removed from me. Lol. It's funny though. I like it. Also, it more or less is an acceptance symbol from me. I have the utmost respect of the opinions of everyone on this board, and the reason I started putting my AFL stuff on here in the first place was to help give back to the community that has taught me a ton about being an actual "gambler"... This is a far more valuable trait that can be taught than any "5 star play" that cashes, as this is a long haul, not a big cash race.
