My Quest to hit $15000 for the season, need $750

[homedawg]

I HOPE THATS NOT A RULE...

I STARTED USING DOLLAR AMOUNTS ABOUT A MONTH AGO INSTEAD OF UNITS.

BUT I AM HONEST.

I dont think its a rule, but why????? I'm a flat bettor, and I could care less if you have units or dollars!!!!!!!!

what's your record???? thats all is needed!!!!


Anyone can chase!!!!!!!!!! :beer2:

[homedawg]

I always wonder??? whats the difference from a 1 unit bet and a 10 unit bet????


dont they have the same odds???

is the 10 unit bet a chase???


:beer2:

[homedawg]

does the 10 unit bet look like a lock????

I WAS BETTING MUCH SMALLER AMOUNTS BEGINNING OF BASEBALL...AND KNEW I WAS GONNA BET MORE ON FOOTS AND DIDNT WANT TO GO FROM 1 UNIT PLAYS TO 20 UNIT PLAYS..THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK A LIL FISHY...AND I THINK USING DOLLAR AMOUNTS IS EASIER FOR ME EVERY NITE TO FIGURE OUT THE DAYS TOTALS.

Gl Tonite Bro !

[homedawg]

its like everyone that has stated, "about a fade", of someone....

That person might win 1 outta 10, but that 1 is a huge CHASE and could be +$$$$$$ ...


Kinda like this charactor that started this thread!!!! :boog:

I disagree about your unit/dollar argument......

When people place larger weight on a game, its due to a confidence increase in that event happening. This doesn't indicate in anyway that the game is a (insert L word here).

You say "give me your record" and thats all that matters, but i'm glad I dont do that because my wallet wouldnt look that great.

I got out of the hole in both CFB and NFL this weekend with larger than usual 5 unit plays. Not because i though they were a (insert L word here), but because i had a ton of confidence in the wager, and i also knew that I wouldnt kick myself if it didnt hit, becuase i thought i capped it the best way I could.

Also, money management plays a huge role in successful wagering. Allocating different size wagers throughout the season doesnt suggest chasing bets.

still have the same odds at winning!

Sham - You are a perfect example for HD, and you are making HD's point for him. All he wants is your record because if your record is good, that means you are making solid plays and he doesn't care if you are only up 10 units compared to someone else with a lesser record being up 50 units. I'm just using what you wrote as an example so please don't take offense, but the fact that you had "to dig yourself out of the hole in both CFB and NFL " probably indicates that your record wasn't that great (and still probably isn't if you increased your unit size to get out of said hole), but you might be at a profit for the season by "going big". HD is not looking for insight or opinions from players who do what you had to do this weekend where you could be like 24-27 (+15 units) but he's looking for solid info from guys who might be 16-9 (+6 units).

Again, I mean NONE of that personally towards to you and congrats on getting out of "the hole", but I think you are misinterpreting what HD was trying to say.

No, thats not a chase. I didnt place larger wager ONLY to get out of the hole. Those plays happened to come at a time when I was down and they came through. I dont place larger wagers just because I'm down, thats a chase.

IMO, chasing comes when you bet larger to make up for prior losses OR you think a team is due to win based on streaks. I did neither of those. I picked a CFB team that was better, against a team with their starting QB out, and got a favorable line because it was on the road.

Of course the outcome of an event doesnt changes based on the amount placed. I didnt claim that was the case. I simply stated that wagering different amounts on sporting events in a contolled manner can lead to success. Money management + good handicapping goes a long way.

In fact, i dont see any value at all in flat betting throught a season. If i flat bet CFB and NFL up until this point, as you can see below, i'd be in the red.

Just my view on things, GL with whatever you do.

[CuseFan10]

tell us how you really feel Cuse. :laughing:

wtf happened, you fall into a blackhole for two months? :beerbang:

I've been here all along. Trying to stop telling people how much of an idiot they are. There are only two people in here who I absolutely can't stand, and he was on of them so I'm glad he's gone. It use to take all my strength to read one of his threads and then NOT post telling him to go play in traffic or something, haha...

Cuse:

My reply came after....

I never bet larger amounts to get of the hole. I did when i started and learned a tough lesson. Very tough.

I didn't 'dig' out this weekend. Just 2 or 3 plays came along that i felt really good about and increased the wager. would have behaved the same way regardless of my bankroll status, which happened to be in the red.

Oh well, all i'm saying is I know chasing and POD's POTY's and POYS are a bunch of ****. But I feel that alterting my betting patterns based on my gut and my capping have helped over the past 10 years.

GL CUSE and HD, JMO........
