I wish I could send you a pm
I am almost 62 and have tried everything
started playing august 1978 in the nfl only, using a progressive betting system on the sunday noon games only
I kicked ass for 3 seasons then I tried the nba in 2 weeks 3 years of profit was gone plus 2 more K
I took around 5 years off had no desire for sports
I realized my math model was not mathematically correct about 10 years latter so I just won because I could pick winners.
I could write a book about systems and math models.
After trying everything the only way you have a chance in the long run playing against the house or being the house.
Have to go back to old school very simple but kind of boring.
All plays can only be 1% of initial Bankroll I play to win 1% or risk 1% to win the odds.
This will keep you alive during your losing streaks and make you damn good money if you can pick 57% in the long run.
It can be done but not easy in fact very hard the old pros did it and made a nice living doing it.
They liked to play 7 games per day because 4W-3L = 57% with a 10 cent line they make .7 unit per day.
If playing 1K per play = $700 per day in the long run using a 100K bankroll that they can afford to lose.
I recommend you never play more or less than 1% there is no such thing as one game being worth more than another game.
Also you need to lower the size of your Unit until you know for sure you can pick 57% in the long run. GL
