Middle Buffalo Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) How many hours of research would you say you put into gambling per day? That's my 2000th post in 13 years, so give the answer a little thought. Edited February 10, 2018 by Middle Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my 2000th post in 13 years, so give the answer a little thought. During the week, very little. With my job, it's hard to sit at a computer all day and research. On the weekend is where I try to be more aggressive. I stay up late, and cap the absolute s*** out of games. I have a system for my bets, I research the history, player matchups, weather (when applicable), numbers, and I check players social media for emotional and mental stability. I try to spend at least 15-20 minutes per game during the week and on the weekends, I spend maybe 3-4 times that amount on bets. It's nice to cap, but sometimes things just don't go your way. You can't take it personally, but hopefully you are managing your bankroll to the point your hits are not causing real damage sans your ego.

Middle Buffalo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The only gambling I do is NFL Confidence Pools. I have a pretty good method that always keeps me at or near the top of the Overall Season Total. Week to week, I tend to do well but drop one or two of the big point games. I plan on looking back at last season and seeing if I can figure out a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Feb 11, 2018 -> 10:42 PM) Are confidence pools done by spreads? Generally, it's just picking the winner (straight up), and ranking them by confidence 16 points to 1 point. I use the point spread, as I'm sure everyone does. I also use the rule that Vegas gives the home team 3 points. But, if you use it strictly, it seems there's always an upset or two in the 10-12 range. I've never taken the time to see if there is a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 No. I'm actually doing damn good. I just felt like a weekly update is better. I don't think anyone is tailing me plus I think this thread comes across a little pompous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there fees when you take out money? Bovada gives you a free payout every 30 days. If you get your money via crypto, you can do it once a week without fees.

LittleHurt05 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Super Bowl MVP is hard because Brady is a lock if the Patriots win, look how James White got robbed last year. Greg the Leg at 85-1 if it's an unexpected low scoring battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
