Nick Douglas has an excelent article in the Free Picks section with the above title. Read it. Understand it. Practice it. It is in my opinion the best way to succeced in this hobby. If you want to have fun with this hobby you need to be able to be in it for the long haul. It doesn't matter if you wager $10, $50, $100, or $500 per contest. If you lose a game, so what! you need to be able to win and lose with the same demenor every day. Big hitters will usually not make a profit in the long run.
I have played Baseball all year and I am up about $2300. For those of you who follow my posts in the BB forum I play 3-5 games a night. In dollors thats about $300-$500 per night. In 6 months that averages out to about $100 per week. Doesn't sound like much on a weekly take but over a long haul, 2-3 years, it comes out to a nice penny.
In the NFL I am down about $200, I figure by the end of the year I will be up about $600-$800 if things go right. If they don't I don't plan on making it up in one week nor will I get upset if I lose the "Game of the Week". To me it's just another game and next starts another round.
Enjoy the hobby, don't get ulcers over it. It's not worth it.
Jack, maybe this belongs in the General Forum. You decide
