    Don't do it CG. Tread lightly here. Just have a thorough look at the Kings schedule as of late. 

    5 games in 7 nights. 
    Long road trip over in the East. 
    Different time zone.
    Lack of rest.
    Hours and hours upon hours spent on flights and airports and buses.
    They are in for it the next few games.

    I have no idea what you see in them here in this spot to drop a 5k play let along a 550 play.

    Hawks last home game before a 9 day road trip and get all their players back fresh after a nice rest.

    Remember sitting in Jersey and cg had posted the beginning of this thread and he had already done a 180 after 6-7 pages had convinced him that he should stay put and expand his contacts at home.Cg had posted on a Thur/Fri that he was staying home and by the next Monday cg was all in and on his way to Vegas once again.This is manic playing to the crowd and I personally think a "suicidal "excuse
    to flip off the crowd of followers because even though this thread is over 4000 posts,he's not getting the "love" he craves.YouTube???

    Mental Illness-It's never pretty.

    For CG'S sake hopefully they are looking past this game..give the bench more minutes and be content with a 5 point win.

    I believe in you, Nick.

    Stick with the plan.

    Grind this 0-6 out like powder.  

    I could go back and quote you exactly but you know you said it.  I read it last night.  

    "This is a marathon, not a sprint."

    $5,000 now is like a marathon runner trying to sprint the first mile out of the starting gate.  It's not the plan and it's not what you said you wanted to be.

    Go back to what made you great.  $500, $1000.

    String a nice 4-0 or 5-0 and this losing streak will be a distant memory.

    Pass the test bro.

    If this is your strategy then there's 0 chance you make it into kickoff during football season. Regardless if you win or loss your 5k wager.

    Pro career NBA 11-5 +$3250

    Pro career overall 33-26-1 +$1450

    So right here is a good example (one of many) of an issue going on with your plan.

    You are up 7 units (33-26).  You are up $1,450.  That is about $200 per unit.

    Lets do some math based on your first months numbers....

    In order to make 3k a month (your stated breakeven point), you would need to win 15 units. 

    In order to win 15 units a month at 58% win rate (yes, 58%), you would need to bet 94 games a month.

    So to summarize - you need to go 58% (each and every month) with 94 wagers to win 3k a month.

    Does that not scare you in to coming up with some sort of plan?  Is the plan just to bet 5k when you have a bad run and hope for the best?

    Everyone in this thread has advice on family visiting, steakhouses, MILFs, and who to pick.  YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT WHO TO PICK.  Your problem is your "money management" (I hesitate to even call it that).

    Stop guessing.  Stop making "K plays" because the name sounds cute and it is a round number and it is your default amount because you don't know anything better.  You are a pro - or at least you say you are a pro.  Do you think a pro tilapia buyer at Albertsons just orders 1k pounds a day because that is a nice round number???

    I believe in any business sometimes you have to take a stance. I do not think there is anything wrong with a 5k play provided you really feel strong about the play. If you see a better situation this week you can pull the trigger on that game.

     If you confident about the Kings go for it !

    Good luck

    I might tail you keep me posted. Lost the nets last night with you had them for 3k. Had a small winning week last week. Overall I have not had such a great season overall.Hoping to pick things up here in March.

    This isn't my strategy at all times but it's time for a HUGE play. I like to take chances at time. I got 21K left in bankroll and will positively grind at $550/$500 a game if the QUEENS don't step up this evening

    Is it time for a big play because you have gone 0-6 last 6? If you were 6-0 would a 5 dimes play happen today? Good luck in whatever you do and hopefully the train wreck doesn't happen tonight... You better hope boogie cousins shows up to play.

    CG - once again you conveniently ignore the point.

    The point is not your 5k play.  Or the pick.  Or whether Collison is playing.  Or whether you win or lose tonight.

    You say if you lose this bet you go back to 550 a play.  The point is that you have NO IDEA if 550 is the right amount for you. You are just guessing.  You have no method.  You are throwing darts in the dark.  You are guessing.

    And that is the point.

    Nick, you are hitting your plays at around 60%.  You take chances every day you place any bet.  There is around a 40% chance that you will lose this bet tonight.

    This wager represents almost 20% of your bankroll.

    There is never a time to put 20% of your bankroll at a 40% risk of loss.  It is not a "strategy" to say its "time to take a chance".

    This $5,000 represents 10 wagers.  Normally, at your 60% winning pace, you would win 6 and lose 4 giving you a +800 profit.  That is grinding it out.

    Make 30 wagers a week and make +2,400 a week, +9600 a month. Make 15 wagers a week and make +4,800 a month.

    Use your GIFT...let it work for you.

    Don't let your impulses take over.

    Time is your friend if you execute the plan you had from day 1.

    Time is your enemy if "time" becomes your reason to leave your plan from day 1.

    This is the test.  To be a pro, you have to make the right decision today...right now.

    Pass the test.
