    LV is a good poster. I've been on these forums for 15 years. The only issue is that when he says big, that should never be more than 2.5 % of your bankroll. You can get rich easy in this game. There are 162 betting days not including playoffs in MLB. That's a long grind. Be smart.

    The BP gave up 9 right after Lambert. So apparently there wasn't much of an option...

     I almost posted the same thing.. My bet size has been Below half of my normal bets since Monday this whole week has been funky…

    but yes, you are right a blowout like this is way better than a game your team is losing that is still within a reach..

    but you can see your team is struggling and sucking so bad you know they’ll never reach…

    or

    even worse a game where you’re winning the whole game and you end up getting beat in the ninth by a team that scored seven or more runs… to beat you.

    both these scenarios are way, fucking worse than a huge blowout.

    onto the next…

    Well, big is relative. Small could be 1% average 2 and big 3. Something like that. But if you dont bet a sh!t ton of games you can increase your risk level. He is winning so either way its kind of irrelevant

    But generally you should have a managed roll. Dont even go 25% or something crazy

    Kind of crazy when one has to take 16.5 runs live to salvage the day with a pregame -140 favorite.
