Wagering more $MONEY$ on one game then the next, and what the Pro`s say..

Okay, fair enough. However, these are 2 separate discussions - the first concerns estimating percentages before the game, the other concerns finding a non-consensus line AFTER you've decided which bet you like. Because the vast majority of gamblers are not winners and hence cannot pick the correct side of games consistently enough to win, advising that kind of bettor to vary their bets on games they 'like' certainly seems like a recipe for them losing even more.

Note I am not debating the merits of what you personally do, but unless you're a winner to begin with, varying your bets doesn't make sense because you cannot have good confidence in which of your bets are 'good' since you're a net loser anyway (exceptions such as getting inside injury info not yet released aside).

I'll agree. If you are a losing bettor flat bet.

And make your unit size zero.

Maybe my bringing up BJ was a mistake. Bad comparison to sports betting. Sports betting is my career. BJ is an entertaining and challenging game. I merely play my streaks the same from a weighing standpoint. But enough of that. My Neanderthal approach is really not because I have used it and added to it for many years. The start is cap the game. But next is what the purpose of the hit. Middle, scalp, play, speculation, takeback or hedge. A rogue 1/2 point, maybe, but 1 or more better. Then roll through the stores not on DB. Any rogues there. Any middles, scalps? Found no rogues, drop down to best juice, unless juice is better in need. Now if still nothing which stores working bonus rollovers, or action credit. I have been doing this since handwritten days, so to have this technology to provide information is a blessing I never forget. Obviously my game has had to change with the times. My career working the stateside books came to a quick close. A true Neanderthal would have died off then. But I moved forward, and evolved to the offshores. Now I have everything I always wanted. No more ap feeds, Don Best, premium. Worth its wait in 1 bet. High speed custom made pc's with lots of flat panels. Multiple phone fax lines. I am dreamland in my office. I have every book I can think of on betting, from GBC and elsewhere. But through all my evolutions I learned one basic principle from a pit boss that had been in the business 30 years. I was an underage player at the time. He said, if you do one thing, press and parlay when you are winning, and pull back or walk if you are losing. In my 30 years that is the difference between a winner or a loser. I think he like me because I was this young kid with a cribbage board in one pocket, and a racing form in the other. That profound advice has stuck with me from that day. Whether it fits any calculus or abstract formulas is questionable. I was too busy capping ponies, hustling BJ, craps and runnin numbers and or bets. In that aspect, I am a true dinosaur. But I still win, and have a respected opinion in almost every place I am in, with a huge make up figure. Now you know who I am, and where I came from. Was time to step up I guess. Best Wishes...O F
