Moving to Vegas to become a full time pro handicapper

This is the demise of the average bettor, even if they are not a square.

I'll give it to the guy.

He probably started as good as he could have.

Went 2-0 with his $1,100 plays but lost one last night after an unpredictable barrage of three's.

To me, a tough one to swallow but it wasn't necessarily capped wrong despite the final score. That should give him comfort and confidence, even in a loss. Did it? No.

Then tonight, it is obvious he knows he'll be 1-1 so after two nights here is what he stares at:

-1,100 last night and then -50 tonight.

But what pushes him over the top is the 1/2 pt he bought. That clearly eats at him since the 3.5 will be meaningless when the final buzzer sounds on the Warriors. But he had to pay for it and doesn't get the full $500 he should have.

-$1,200+ over two nights is a little too much to bear at the moment.

Then all of a sudden the Suns become very attractive. It could be OKC who could be attractive. It doesn't matter.

It's now about hitting up the late game.

Don't we all do this?

Who here doesn't do this?

We ALL do this.

We play the early slate and leave a small window for some late action if things go sour.

And this is how bankrolls get drained. It is exactly the type of bankroll mismanagement that 'gives it all back.'

Of course, there is no way he capped this game for hours. Remember, CG said he is picking out the best of the best from a sizable slate when he caps in the morning.

He picked two games and that was it. Never a peep about OKC/Phx.

Now OKC/Phx is worth $550. Why? No reason except one. A 1-1 night that he wants to salvage from the vig and 1/2 pt. That's it!

This game is being bet because it is the only one left.

But as Vanzack alluded to, today's late game is no better than tomorrow's 8 early games. All he has to do is wait and his menu options grow exponentially.

That folks, is not good bankroll management and I can't tell you how many dozens of times the EXACT same late-night chase damaged my bankroll, sometimes leading to downhill slide I couldn't get up from over the years.

Except I wasn't in Vegas...not even close to it.

CG is.

The Suns better show up for him...that's all I gotta say.

the suns were up 10 most of the 4th quarter and up 3 with 20 seconds left...  it was a freak for the game to go to OT... how many times do you have a team foul a guy on a drive for an AND1 up three with 12 seconds left?

I am not sure what the other game is ur talking about... Michigan State? They were -8... the suns +5.5 

um same spread?  

Michigan state was a shitt bet by me obviously.  they played no defense and played like crap..

not sure what ur talking about..
