I know of no big gambler that bets his entoire bankroll on the first week. That is suicidal. What hapens if you go under 50%? I am not buying any of that, and you can not show me a successful gambler that plays 10K a year or more that does this.
How can you argue for Money Management whenyou are going to shoot your entire bankroll in one week? I will be very interested to see if you can double your bankroll in two weeks, because it is rarely, if ever done.
Sorry to disagree with you, but I am not buying any of that. Just out of cruiosity, did you double your money by week 3 last season? Remember, seasoned 'cappers are not necessairily winning cappers. The fact is that 85% of them are losing cappers. There is a huge difference between "seasoned" cappers and "winning" cappers.
i have been betting CFB for 15 years and never once have i ever lost money in week 1... that is why i do it...
now you know one...

it is important to not chase your losses i agree, but bankroll n unit size is more for pro players though i would say. in the end it comes down to pickin more winners then losers

Scam... virtually everything i win from the CFB season goes into Bowl Season as well...
again... i have been betting bowl games for 15 years, and have only lost money in Bowl Season 1 time out of 15, and that wasn't much of a loss...
the great thing about this approach is, i don't need to have a 10k bankroll to start the season... generally 2k-4k is what i start with, and i will be doubled up by week 3 at the latest...

IHow can you argue for Money Management whenyou are going to shoot your entire bankroll in one week? I will be very interested to see if you can double your bankroll in two weeks, because it is rarely, if ever done.

last season i went 9-1 in week 1 and 7-2 in week 2... i was more than doubled-up by week 3 (2.5 times, actually)... i bet every game for the same amount and didn't bet a single parlay...
again, i do not advise this... as i said in my original post... but it's how i build my bankroll quickly...
if, hypothetically, i were to have a losing first week, i would be forced to go into reserve a bit... but until that actually happens i don't worry about it...

also, as you noticed... i said i would not advise that... it is just what i do... i advised 25-50%...
just stay tuned BD... i know you have your ways... but my ways are tried and true for me, and they will work once again...
This is also what alot of people fail to realize, there is not only 1 way to make money at sports betting! This post was funny because I totally agree with BigDaddy that betting your BR the first week is crazy, but I ALSO totally agree with Ice on what he said above. If your serious about making money in sports betting, you need to do alot of research and find a way that works FOR YOU on a consistent basis. If you find that breaking up your units into 1,2,3 unit plays works, great. If flat betting every game seems to make you more successful, then go with that. If you found that you can practically sweep the board in week 1 CFB on a consistent basis (and I would definitely classify 15 years as being consistent), then go for it! Whether I or Joe Schmo thinks its crazy or not, it works for you and makes you money.
The main caviat in my rambling above is you need to research! Just because you were hitting at 65% betting ML dogs last year does not mean you should up your unit amounts this year on the same category of bets. It needs to be proven over multiple seasons that you can do this before I would increase wagers. Keep records of your bets! Do this for multiple seasons and see where you excel and where you suck.

Tx for the nice words. Ice has added some good stuff, I just hope if my picks do good he will bring Elisha back
I will be leaving early mon AM for Vegas , back fri night Might make a prop bet there Clemson winning less than 8-8.5 games
Couple good stats on Michigan and Wake forest, teams returning 9 offensive starters are 25-0 ATS , first month of the season, Vs non conference opponents
Remember all the bloggers are just trying to help you. You may disagree but there nis no need to bash anyone

that thread i did with the top 5 picks wasn't a top cappers thread... just a general consensus of the forums...
i already had money on all of the top 8 vote-getters from that thread, except for Troy and Kentucky... i will be adding Kentucky... hoping to get a chance to buy the hook and get it down to 14, but that seems unlikely... i won't be playing Troy...
Minnesota and Kentucky were the top two picks...
as for top cappers, check Manifesto's thread... i think he is gonna post plays tomorrow... i know that Minnesota, Oregon and Texas (i think) will all be consensus plays... i imagine Kentucky and Stanford are also likely candidates...

IMO there is no true blue print in how you bet. Bet what your comfortable and what has worked for you in your experience. It's not my style to bet the same amount on every game. If I'm betting 8-10 games, it is rare that I'll like them all enough to bet the same amount. There are always a couple that stand out for me and I will bet more than my std wager on those. Some will argue, what if you lose those games you bet more on? Well, it's called gambling and you can't play afraid to lose. If you've done research and find more of an edge on a specific game....bet it bigger. I look at it like card counters do when playing black jack, when the deck is in their favor they rightfully bet higher amounts. Sure they have a chance to lose, but the odds are in their favor, hence they take advantage and bet bigger.
