Anybody (legit touts or otherwise) have some advice on teaching clients better money management skills and actually have them apply it? I have a pretty strict money management system, because I believe that is one of the keys to making money in sports gambling long-term, but for the life of me I can't get some of my more "immature" clients to stick to it.
For example... I'll have a guy using my service and I'll have a 13-5 week or something like that. But at the end of the week he's in the red because "I put it all on the Lakers because I thought it was a lock and they blew it!". He's paid for my handicapping, I've produced a solid week, but he's still managed to get himself in the hole! Normally wouldn't be a huge problem for me, but guys like this deplete their bankrolls so quickly that they go from a regular client to "I'm done with gambling." -- despite me producing long-term winners for them.
Are clients like this just a lost cause? Is there any amount of advice/education that will keep them from just throwing their money on a lock (read: hunch)?
Hell, I almost feel like hammering out a set of small bets that more or less go against each other (without being too obvious) just so that they can have action on every game and just be out the juice -- would be better than them throwing down 50% of their bankroll on the square side of some NBA game!
Any advice?
