Default Re: I need one game for my entire bankroll

Pick: Niagara -5

Are these two teams just five points apart? Not even close. Let's look at play vs. common opponents this season. Niagara has gone 5-5 SU and 6-4 ATS. St. Peters in contrast has gone 1-11 SU and 4-7 ATS. Versus these common opponents, Niagara has scored a full 21 points per game more than St. Peters. When these two teams met on January 3, Niagara won by 33 points. Sure, that was a home game and this is on the road, but what we can see here is that Niagara is WAY better than St. Peters and having to lay just 5 points is a gift. St. Peters is 3-20 on the season and 2-8 at home. Against the spread, they are winless at home. Niagara is a winning road team that has gone 8-4 ATS away from home. With Joe Mihalich as head coach, Niagara is 15-5 ATS on the road vs. losing teams in late-season play. St. Peters is 5-22 ATS their last 22 home games as an underdog. They are also 0-6 ATS the past two seasons at home vs. winning teams.

Dear Sporsbetters,

I am on a very disasterous downswing right now, I lost about half my bankroll in 3 days through poker then double or nothing on a sports game. Tomorrow, I am going to roll my last half of my bankroll on one game. I want somewhat even odds (-110 to +110). What is the best game for me to do this?

Thanks for your help

Oh and Im on tilt and know this is a bad idea, so any speech about bankroll management will fall on deaf ears.

[/ QUOTE ]

To be honest, I'd pick a random -140 line. You want your odds to be better than 50% chance of winning and you have no clue what to pick, so just big a favorite and hope to win.

I'm not following the logic here...

Easy hedge. We're assuming his money right now has -EV because he is on tilt. But assuming it is only tilt, that means he's a +EV poker and handicapper. So the point is to balance his need to tilt with odds. 50% chance to win is too small, you want to give him as much of an edge in winning as you can while still ridding him of his tilt. Can't pick a -500 line cuz it won't get him off tilt.

he specifically said he wanted -110 to +110 odds. i dont get why everyone is telling him this is a bad idea. he obviously knows that. LET THE MAN GAMBLE.

as a warriors fan, i would say take chicago +1.5(-110) at golden state.

I suggested a -140 favorite because it should be enough to get him off tilt and he has a better shot @ winning. The key in all things gamble...is to not go broke. There are few opportunities if any where you should really risk it all.

You don't think increasing his bankroll by 20% in one day would get him off tilt? That must be some major tilt.

his bankroll probably isn't very large, nor a significant percentage of his net worth. (i hope).
