nobody really keeps a consistent record.. so there is no way of really knowing.. not even the famous bator.. but he does pick some nice underdog moneyline picks in NFL.. surprised to never see him on college fball games.

You don't have to hit 60% to get rich.  I think I'm proof of that.  If you put yourself in a position to chase good numbers everyday, and can pick around 55-56%, you can make stacks and stacks and stacks. 

 

 

And when I say "put yourself in a position to chase good numbers everyday", I am definetely talking about being here, in Las Vegas, pilfering money from these moronic chickenshit sportsbooks.

Oakland +3.5 -110 and ML +170.  I took them +3 -110 at haltime.  But later I had the dreadful Dolphins SU & ATS so......

You were talking stupid before, but you just shifted into another gear.

Yes I also had the Dolphins as a Jet fan I thought they had a shot against the Cards for an upset... I took them and the Niners... all and all I think I bet on too many games today. but still will come out ahead regardless of what Pitt does for me here.

The dolphins were a downer to end the early games, but still, so far a beautiful day B.

So what he is saying is we should bet the same on a game we like and a game we love?

I think what Bator is saying though is the fact that he doesnt bet the same every game which is why he can hit at 55% and make
The thing is selecting the right games for your higher unit bets.  This could hurt you as well you could bet at 60% rate and lose money if you don't get those games right.

But yeah if you win 54-57% and bet the same amount on any bet how do you not win good money at the end of the year?

You do, but at the same time doesn't it just suck when you go 2-1? I'd rather got 2-1 and have it feel like 2-0 because the game I was so confident in I doubled up on..

Today I loved the Titans so i doubled my units on it and it made up for the Dolphins loss I had today.

I agree completely that it is better to bet bigger on games you really like.

i personally don't categorize or share how much $ or units I put on my picks when I do share them with the covers folks.. sometimes I remember I'm making it a point to post all my college picks bc i want to keep a record.
