Money management is key.  Almost as key as picking winners (or avoiding losers if youre a pessimist).  It is not wise to vary your wager according to the perceived strength of your picks.  Same wager all the time.  In the long run, that is the way to do it if you're in it to make money.  If you disagree, then you don't know shit.

In the mavs game, espn says that mcgrady is supposed to try and play.  That should get factored in the line, but something to watch for.

Thank you dmonee17! Those people piss me off 2. People really risk their whole paycheck on a 6 team parlay. I seriously doubt it. So...what do you think of my GS play tonight?

Wow. They probably only have action on Denver, and don't want to increase their exposure there. Books are probably gonna get hit hard tonight with Denver.

Would it be possible to get an example of the way your spreadsheet is made up for your bankroll? I find money management is my biggest problem. I appreciate it if you can. Thanks.

I'm just glad I didn't lose anything. But looking back, Phx just got lazy. Anyways.

The sheet I have set up has the following columns.

1) Win/Loss column

2) Details of wager

3) Wage (calculated as 5% of bankroll)

4) Odds

5) Winnings (an IF statement based on column 1)

6) Loss ( an IF statement based on column 1)

7) Balance

Then project what it would look like with about 250 to 300 picks over a season and hitting a random 60%. That way you keep looking at your long term earnings as opposed to short term losses that might tempt you to chase.
