Bet a few games or alot??
How many of you bet alot of games instead of a few so-called "sure" games? In my experience, I've found that I'm better picking as many as possible and hoping that my educated hunches pay off in the long run. I also like flat betting, where in the past I've gotten into big trouble betting on "locks". It's not odd for me to wager at least 10x of my bankroll a month. Thoughts? Am I crazy?

Re: Bet a few games or alot??
I really don't have any set method myself. Last two years I would just make like 2 big bets a week. If I lost the first one then i'd martingale the second one. That gets kinda stressful though when you're doubling up and you got like 4k on a game because you lost 2 in a row. This past week I bet like 7 little bets and won like 5 of them which would be an equivalent of winning a big bet. So I'm kinda for hedging my bets nowadays.

What the hell would I do on the weekdays ?!! It's amazing some of the soft lines you can find in such sports as Arena Football, WNBA, and even tennis. The more you get involved in different events, the more experience you can build on.

That Martingale strategy will f*ck you in the ass eventually. Even if you're a winning bettor, you'll hit a cold streak. I was over 65% on college football bets until the last week of the regular season last year and then the last week, I went 0-12. I wasn't using Martingale strategy or anything, and I still retained about half of my seasonal profit. Just saying that cold streaks do come.

Doesn't matter what people here will bet as most of them are losers (at least on their on picks). You are more likely to profit by being selective as betting many games and being profitable means betting many marginal edges and only a skillful eye will be accurate enough to consistently identify the more marginal bets. It's not odd for me to wager at least 10x of my bankroll a month. How much are you betting (%) and how many times have you turned over your bankroll in total (adjust it for growth you have experienced)? 10x isn't excessive as long as you are profitable. NCAAF: 23-12 NFL: 7-10 These are meaningless. Unless you have more significant records I'm more interested in what your total turnover, bet size and ROI are.
