  • Help Needed!

    Hello everyone,

    Kind of new here but have been reading a little while. First, please forgive me for any grammar errors I may have as it is not a strong point of mine.

    Anyhow, to my topic and I will try to keep this as short as possible. I’m tired of getting my ass kicked and loosing money. I started betting about 6-7 years ago on parlay cards that I picked up at a local bar and actually did quite good and probably got a little cocky. But for the last 3 years I can’t hit shit. I am now with a sports book (sportsbook.com). I realize that this is probably not a great place to be and would like recommendation on which book would be great for getting money in (this one will not accept my credit cards anymore) and receiving money (if I ever win again).

    Second- which handicappers are reliable on here (should have followed lewis on the TCU bet I just couldn’t pull the trigger) I have been watching lewis and he seems to be on top of things.

    Third- I am not the riches person in the world, but how much money should I be betting, how should I bet (have been doing parlays and teasers) and please explain to me what are units played.

    Sorry for the novel, just trying to learn what to do! Thanks for any help. And would love to handicap my own games, what kind of information should I look besides injuries, def.stats/off. Stats.

        Answer to the second is there are ALOT of good cappers but everyone goes thru streaks and if you see alot on the same side it helps.
        Third question-If you ever loose sleep or take your losses out on a friend or family member, then your betting to much money.Find a figure that gives you enough enjoyment to watch the whole game and get on the edge of your seat for the 4th Quarter but not so big that it ruins your day if you lose.

            Welcome to the forum!


            You can get lots of advice here but the one i quoted can't be answered by anyone but YOU. Only bet what you can afford to lose. Always assume all your bets are going to lose. If that happening will put you in a bad spot, you are betting too much. Also, keep a very firm structure on your wagers. If you have big plays and small plays, use the same exact amount on each every time. Do not go crazy over a play ... no matter how much you "Love it". Always play the big bets for one amount and the small for another. It could be $5 & $10 or it could be $100 & $200. That is all up to you.

              Only you should know how much money you are comfortable betting...I am one of the younger guys here and never follow this rule but a good rule of thumb is to bet between 2-5% of your total bankroll on each individual play. Ultimately you'd like to bet games straight up (no parlays/teasers), but again that's an individual choice.

              Do your research on who to follow...there really isn't a "terrible" guy on this site so you'll be safe with almost anyone. Greek, Kaptain, Jmarty, Wayne,tech fan, lewis, FBcoach, and so many more. Some guys are good at specific sports...just search around

              Good Luck buddy, don't take this stuff too serious but I respect your interest in doing better. Welcome to the site.

                Welcome Blue.

                I use Bookmaker ... It is a site sponsor. Click on any of the above ads and sign up through them. Tell them Bettorschat sent you. I use a pre-paid Green Dot Visa for deposits.

                Marty is correct ... Don't "cherry pick." Find a capper to follow, and follow them all the way. Or, select 2 or 3 cappers and follow only the games that all of them are on. That seems to work well.

                Straight bets are the way to go. It's hard enough to win one game, much less 2, 3, or more.

                Good Luck!!!

                    Thank You!!

                    Thanks to all of you for the welcome and for the advice so far!

                    I have let my loosing get to me as it has been a constant trend all year and my wife has finally stated to me last week that she wished I would watch the games for the game itself because I was getting so frustrated. I would hit 3 or 4 of my teams but would loose one and it seemed like the one I would loose on should have been a no brain pick (like Tulsa to cover SMU last week).

                    Anyhow, I was not sure the amount people bet and was kind of ashamed to say that I could bet $10 to $20 per pick with 3 to 5 picks per week. That is why I have tried to play the parlays and teaser, to get a bigger return if I hit. I have a few cappers on here (no names) that I will follow this week to see how I do. Maybe I will start as one unit as 5, 2 units as 10 so on and work my way back up. Slow but sure as they say!

                      Phil Jr is a good capper you should follow him.

                      Actually just look and learn from this site, you'll get some good action going.

                      Quit parlaying except every once in a great while. Good luck and welcome.
