Stay away from college hoops.

NCAAB is fun but the money is in the NBA.

Play NBA favorites,good teams facing shitass teams and go out to dinner.

You won;t win them all but the 2-3% of bankroll grind you;ll come out ahead.

Thats sound advice in general and I would add Totals are a bigger pain in the Arse to the Books, MLB Totals is like garlic to Dracula for The books. :drink:

Evidently you haven't been watching Buffy.

I thought it was a stake through the heart?

Or at least some holy water & a cross.

Though garlic might be good for the fleas up the arse plays.

There's nothing more important than having good natural betting instincts. That goes for predicting moves to predicting games I guess.

Agree and I don't necessarily know if this can be taught or learned. Sharp instincts and creativity and tons of scouting are how I do it, not number crunching.

It can't be taught. I should have added a bit more. Some people no matter how much they study, no matter how many games they watch they just don't have it. That would be the majority of gamblers actually.

1. The next 2 days,I want you to bet halftimes only,look at the total 1st then the side.

2.Sunday at 5pm pst I want you to make all lines for NCAA,and NFl for upcoming week,see how close you get.

3.I believe football is a game of emotion,so I am not a big fan of stats

4.Like Tony Robbins says,the past does not= the future,therefore I am not a big fan of systeyms or angles.

5.never wager more than 5% of your bankroll on 1 play.

6.Do not look at comparative scores,especially in NCAA.

7.Bet favorites early as possible (sun nite or Mon morn)bet dogs at Kickoff.

8.To think correct,eat correct and exercise.
9.like a good putter trusts the line and his stroke,trust your own opinion.

10.If you lose 3 in a row,close your eyes take a deep breath,then drink 2oz of wheat grass,then close your eyes take a deep breath.You then will win 4 out of 5.

11.On Monday Morn after you win,PULL OUT YOUR MONEY.look for a 10% bonus at a diffrent book.Make these whiny bookmakers pay you,PRONTO.

12.THe 2 BEST football books by far are DUNES and CANBET.

13.Books that make you lay -110 are TOTAL SCUM.I repeat do not lay -110.

Patience, discipline and a knowledge of the mathematics of gambling (probability, Ev etc). Many people who like to think of themselves as winners need to brush up on the maths. If you don't understand that you need to hit 52.4% to breakeven at -110, that 3 cents is huge or that overall win rate is irrelevant then you are very unlikely to be successful in the long run.
