Dude, why are you betting on 4 sh1tty games with all sh1tty teams? Why will you not "pick and choose your spots"? Take your own advice man...seriously.

But this isn't football bud. With 3k monthly expenses how are you planning to fight back chasing all the time with only a 22k bankroll.

Certainly, it could have become a play once it got to +11. Understandable.
What is not understandable is why/how it is a 1k play.
Your own words were that you were going back to grinding with $500 plays. Your bankroll and money management both indicate that $500 plays are very large plays right now.
$1k plays should not be even considered at this point in time.
It's not too late to get back to basics and GRIND.
Another week of these bad money management decisions and it might be.
PM for the skinny on the down low

Things CG is good at:
Videos
Personality
Guts
Following his dream
"picks"
Things CG is not good at:
Discipline
Self-awareness
Money Management
Learning
Planning
This is the formula for disaster.
I have said it on this site for 10 years +. The average sports bettor could go 55% and lose money and have no idea why.
I have probably said it 50 times here. And CG is just about proving me right - 55% and down money.

Except your allegations weren't about "tilt" bets. Your allegation was as follows:
Now.. Are you denying that you didn't put the remainder of your account on the Lakers 2nd half vs. Toronto on 11/30/14 after you got your a$$ handed to you again on NFL Sunday (Giants/Jacksonville LOSS)? Because that would make you a FLAT OUT LIAR
And now you just posted a thread that DISPROVES your allegation about risking the 'remainder of my account.'
Shooting yourself in the foot time and time again.

Very true but the 55% sports better will still have a chance, the average better who wins 50% and has perfect discipline and money management will still be a loser

I have about 20 pages to catch up on but if someone can fill me in that'd be great...(doesn't have to be CG)
Why is he betting 5% of his LIFE SAVINGS ROLL on every game?
When most people say a percentage of their roll, its a percentage of their gambling roll. 5% of everything to his name on each play is absolutely absurd.

What is the biggest tell that someone is an action junkie? What can tell you if someone actually has a method and is just not throwing darts?
The fact that CG picks 1-4 plays every day.
That in a nutshell is the problem. Every day there are picks. Why? If there was some way to determine real strength of "picks", there might be 5 today and none tomorrow. There might be a week where you only pick 5 games.
But you bet games every day, and limit plays every day to 4 at the most (most days 3). I have said it before way back in this thread - and it bears repeating - losers bet for days. People who bet for action bet for days. There is no way around this.
When you have to wake up and decide on 1-3 plays for that day, there is no way to maximize your overall profitability. This is all without a staking plan - which only compounds the problem. When you add no real staking method - and introduce totally random bet sizes - todays 3 plays that are 1k each might not even qualify tomorrow when you are betting 3 games that are 500 each.
Sorry, but CGs betting is more lemonade stand than empire. At least the kids selling lemonade probably understand their costs and set the price accordingly. CG sells lemonade for varying prices based on his mood and only 1-3 cups per day and then wonders why the kids next to him are outselling him when his lemonade tastes better.

He went on a cold streak, blamed his family and then proceeded to make a 5.5k bomb on a team he irrationally tried to convince himself could play defense against the best ATS team in the league. Now he's down around 3.6k ish and on the chase. He's actually got 8.5% or more of his life savings now.

"I don't even bet second halves and have never posted one. So much for your fairy tales to defame me"
"I take responsibility for my picks. Put a solid cap on it."
Who is shooting himself in the foot?
So upset ole' scally was that after saying 'time to get off this POS site' that he just threw caution to the wind and played that 2nd half on tilt.

I have seen him justify a play multiple times by saying "well I was only going to play it if I won my previous game."
Um...what?

Great post Van. You probably will win your bet before mid april.
I have been saying it thru this whole thread, that he has zero discipline and no money management what so ever. Hes losing money and hitting over 55 percent, whats he gonna do when he hits under 55 percent.
Hate to say it but only way he stays living out there long term is if he finally gets a job to pay the bills
