Moving to Vegas to become a full time pro handicapper

CG:  Your bankroll has grown over 10%.  Wagers should keep pace?

You should definitely look into your betting and bankroll strategy.

To the last two posts...

just caught up on all the comments from yesterday also.. flattered by all the support fellas and I am a big boy bring on any hate too I love it either way.

Goose and 3dtv- idk.. I am happy with the $500 a game.. I was thinking of increasing if/when I get up over 10K in my pro career.. maybe a K play if I really like a game instead of betting two on a given night.

I just don't like the idea of possibly increasing and then starting a cold streak...  that's the big debate right now.

based on my +$4750 first week I am on pace to make 247K lol...  I mean when will I go 15-5 again? 

def a good debate.. it's such a long grind I think I am still happy with $500 a game..  it's a nice amount to bet and can make nice profit with wins, but also doesn't total cripple you when you lose $550 on losses.

after a big week it is always important to stay humble because a lot of times if you get cocky an equally bad week will follow.  I will be very proud of myself if I can just grind this week and even make a K or two profit.

going to make myself a nice salmon, rice, and salad dinner now and enjoy Monday night raw..   following the Kansas at west va game but it's funny with no action on the game I could really care less about who covers lol.

I was surprised to find out that Monday night raw airs from 8-11 here just like back in Jersey...  I figured it was live so it would air from 5-8 out here.  

I know some of u sick fuckks bet on Wrestling somehow I just find that hilarious and awesome that some books online offer lines on something rigged.   cheers to that though haha

starting to cap for tomorrow as we speak.  another day at the office tomorrow fellas.  in this business you always have to be prepared and ready for the following day

From my research your bet size should be a percent of your roll. You should increase and decreased based on your roll. Also curious if you have your bankroll deprecate from your savings. Defensively a must IMO. On top of that you have to determine what percent of your roll you can withdraw each month for living expenses. Good luck!

CG, what do you think will be your living expenses per month? 

JMHO but wagers should keep pace with bankroll in sports.  Just like you shop for the best line or reduced juice, little things count, you don't want to be throwing away $50 bills.  You go 4-2 and collect $900 on flat bets of $500.  You could of collected $1080 on flat bets of $600.  Extra $180 simply by keeping pace.  It's not getting greedy.  It's just bankroll management.  Like I said, JMO.

Living expenses are a lot. Rent, student loan, car, gas, cell phone, I'm like feeding an elephant, health insurance, car insurance, tv bill.. Prob around 2.5K-3K a month. Gas out here is $2.50 a gallon too... I came here to win tho and I know I can do it bro

I paid 3 moths of rent up front also so a big chunk came out of my savings but I also don't owe rent until June now... $500 a game was right around 2% of my bankroll. Now like goose said I can increase some if I would like. My job in jersey really paid shittt and what a grind it was

Its good to see that you didnt get overwhelm in your first week of being a pro, keep going college and there is a boat load of good advise from some people.

well done on getting that extra half a point I had it at 11.5 but garbage happens.

Great Kansas game on was on wrong side Hockey kills me College didn't know you had student loans Are they low interest If not maybe pay it off Your smart guy at leAst you have your 401 k Has safety net Looking forward your picks Tuesday I give you a lot credit tonight You could take late game like you did Sunday But as you said You learned your lesson You got great Discipline I would bet small play just for action

CG's principles saved me from a loss tonight. He posted getting the Pitt game at +12, and I immediately jumped on my William Hill app to find that it was +11. A full point difference. I know how valuable these numbers are because CG always stresses shopping for the best line. Rather than pressing, I decided to lay off the game.

Lines always change In Vegas Didn't you see College said it changed while in line Agree with. Ranger You can't control line My opinion is if you put bet in & You really like the play Lets say line moves 1-2 points in your favor Press it little bet more Glad you won I had it at 12 like College & pushed I was 2-1 Hockey College Basketball 1-1-1 won. $18 I'm small player $25-35 Game Hope everyone d did good Today Looking Forward your Winning Picks College we'd Got caught up on your Videos Hope your making few friends their Maybe if you need part time job I thinking working in book be ok Pay & maybe get some info working their Good luck

Lost two games last night by a half point. Any loss like this is tough to take but even more so if you are doing this for a living like College Gambler. Keep shopping for the best line buddy. I got a t-shirt from LVH a a few years ago that has " Every Half Point Matters " on the back. How true this is.

Flame me all you want, stick that 80% bs up your arse TSW. Call it hindsight all you want, just offering an opinion on the matter. Why wait for the 'public' to bet this all the way down (I saw 70+% on pitt) to a loss or a push? My intent wasn't to be a D I CK, I want this kid to do well, thats all.

champ ur right bro..  it was +12.5 at MGM earlier yesterday morning too for an hour or so.  I am still getting stuff done at the apartment so couldn't get down there in time.  nice job taking it early and getting the w

Three games I like tonight

Locked and loaded already this evening.   I Am not a mind reader so I don't know how the lines will move but I know I got the best possible lines in town on my 3 bets.... just placed about 20 min ago

Tennessee Volunteers +13.5 (-110) $550/$500

Again I feel a Kentucky line is inflated...  Vols have had a very rough season but this is there "super bowl" and I expect them to compete and cover

Georgia Bulldogs -6.5 (-110) $550/$500

Georgia has had a surprisingly nice season... they are on the bubble and need to win and need to win in fashion... The Gamecocks are mediocre at best and don't think they will be up for this game after getting demolished at Kentucky

Oklahoma Sooners -6 (-110) $550/$500

I think the Sooners will be focused and play a great game at home against an arch rival.  Texas is playing better ball of late but we all know how most road teams perform.... Oklahoma rock solid at home too

I don't see the point in raising my bets yet unless I really love a game.. It's only my 10th day out here and I plan on being here for a long, long time...  I got a nice profit thus far and just want to continue grinding away at $500 a game... If I can get my profit in the 8-10K range then we will consider raising our bet amounts.

my main damage out here I expect to do during football season.  And I have planned my strategy and bets accordingly

bol on your plays tonight fellas!

Lets go Bulldogs, Vols and Sooners!

College just bet on your : picks One free pick tonight Nevada @ Home against Wyoming 2nd leading score out Getting +1 Lost to Wyoming on the road in OT Wyoming lost 2 straight on the road by Double Digits With their 2nd best score out it also took St. John's +7/ Georgetown Michigan st -5/ Michigan Has 2 guards out Stloiis +16.5/ Vcu a lot points Good luck To All out there I know you got a lot advice from all of us mostly positive Cracks me up some people say Take hike or F off I've gotta in few myself.
