betting

You know I am what the professional gambler would call a square.  If I really like a game maybe a couple of hundred but usually $50 to 100.  I have a full time job and don't have the time to research each and every game but one thing I can say is that it's all luck.  There is no way anyone can predict an outcome of a game.  There are too many things, I'm talking NCAAB mostly that guides the game to a conclusion that no one can see.  Suspensions prior to a game, injury, foul trouble, terrible foul shooting from a good foul shooting team,up by 5 laying 3 and a hail mary at the buzzer.There are no experts, there are only what your gut says.  You have a feeling and you bet it and after you win you can say I knew that but if you really knew it you wouldn't need to work anymore, you would have bet your mortgage.  One thing that can really help determine which way you go is info.  The more info the better chance you will have to determine a side.

We all need to be happy to hit 53% or more and smile about it.

Sure there are spots but we cannot control the outcome we can only hope due to injuries, foul trouble, etc.

Take last night for example.  I have CSU -5 1/2.  SDSU is leading 60-58 with 1:28 left in the game and they don't score again.  Could I have predicted that, no I could only hvae hoped it.  A steal with 12 seconds  by CSU up 64-60, lay  up with 10 seconds left up 66-60 and a miss by SDSU with 3 seconds.  I cover by a half.  LUCKY that's all.  One point by SDSU  in the 1:28 and I lose.  Can I go around and boast about having picked that, NO I probably should have lost.

There are numerous systems that people use but in the majority of the times it all LUCK.
