try to structure things so that your bankroll will show a lot of profit 6 months from now, no, more like 2 years from now. It's best to make it so that day-to-day wins/losses shouldnt matter a whole lot. I try to find just a few cents +EV on more than 3000 wagers a year. If I risked more on each wager the numbers show I would profit more, but I'd rather have it so that I dont really care about individual days, they dont really hurt me. Bad beats and my own mistakes simply piss me off, I laugh about it later. The sheer volume masks a lot of mistakes, I made a ton of mistakes last week and still made almost 3% between MLB and NFLX. And that was on wagers averaging less than .3% each. Think about what you can do with that kind of return each year. I have a lot of goodies for football, hope you stick around for it.
One of the hardest things for me to realize in the beginning, even though I always did well, was that there are games with almost the same perceived value the NEXT DAY. Dont push things too hard today, you may not be able to get down on even better things tomorrow. If you are making large wagers on lines that move the other way, or dont move at all, it's typically a good sign for the bookmaker, and a bad one for you. There are always exceptions, but that is one of the first things that I learned to recognize. There were so many times that I ruined a good week with a single wager.
