Need Some Real Help!

[pappy]

Ok thanks a lot guy I really appreciate the advise. He is on Clemson tonight so that will be the game that I play!

If you are down that much and can still maintain a normal lifestyle, try donating some of your money to a local charity and help out those who need it.
If you are down that much and can't maintain a normal lifestyle, get help.

Phil I live a very normal life style, and donate plently of my time and money to local charities. Thank God I make a very good living to afford to do the things that I enjoy doing!
I thought this site was about gambling, I didn't think my lifestyle would be brought into this!

if there's one thing i learned from these guys, its not to bet too many games. what works best for me is i check my favorite cappers from this site, and compare similar picks. you'll catch on to which guys know what there doing. no one can win every game and its stupid to bet every game. i suggest 2-3 plays a day, and stay away from those parlays!

i your situation, the guys are right, follow just one guy.....ez winners is just plain solid!!!!!!!!!! no frills, no bs, just very good at what he does..........there are a number of good ones but that is good advice.............

this is the best thing i can do for you right now::
STOP BUYING HALF POINTS!!!!!!!!! That is unreal what you did today!!! In fact, i play with a book where i will frequently sell at half point to play at -105........but if you a buying to go to -120, that is unreal and not one capper on this site will be able to help you!!!!!! Not to mention there will not be a single capper that will disagree with what i have just said

here is my rule on buying (not like this is the law or anything but it may help)..........the best times to buy are buying on or off 3 and 7 in the nfl.......then i think it is smart...........i am also an advocate for buying on or off 3 in basketball but if one of the respected guys comes on and tells me that is stupid, i would listen........that is my own preference........buy 9.5 to 10 in a CBB game between texas and oklahoma is very stupid!!!!! (i am not trying to deman you, i just have a limited vocabulary and do not know how else to make the point)

so before you follow any of us, STOP BUYING points like you are..........i am not nobody will disagree.....

anyway, where did you get oklahoma from?? i can understand minnesota as goldvike and a lot of others were on them........wayne too, i believe so i am down with that........but the reason BC told you to paper trade for a while were for games just like oklahoma

Lewis, who is a good capper has been laying in wait to pound against oklahoma and did what a smart capper does.......he faded oklahoma the last 2 times out and then pounded texas against them today which probably more than mode up for what he lost..........sometimes you know a team is ready for a big game or a bad one, and you pound on it...........had okla. covered today, i imagine a guy like Lewis would have taken his losses and moved on but he played it right.........does this make any sense??

also read homer's post........truth is, it is more about money management than winning %..........much like homer, i had a great day yesterday and only loved 1 play today, but not to the tune that it would have doubled my winnings of yesterday or cost me the whole thing..........i do not look back on my Boston College bet and wish i would have bet more b/c like homer said, you need to have the money management system set up so you will NEVER get that many units down is you follow the guys here

hoping this helps

my bad

i did not see that.............like they say, you will be fine that way.ez is consistent, just look at his records!!!!!!!

but ez will be the first to tell you not to buy the points in such games

[pappy]

I understand now I will not be buying anymore and I am going to lay off the misserable parlays

[shorty3830]

good

no parlays, and stop buying.....................look, for the first 7 years i gambled, i was horrible..........at a much smaller scale, i remember getting myself down $7200 and doubling it on one game.............not 6 months later was in almost the same situation........

as a student, i was $28,000+ in credit card debt and all i could do was pay minimums..............eventually i learned that i like this too much to stop and even though i seemed to be good at capping college sports, i was terribke at the pros and betting the same amounts...........so eventually it changed, and much like homer told you, i only make big wagers on the college sports unless someone i trust really loves a pro game and i will bet it

that is why this site is so great...........i have been posting 10* plays all season long but what you do not see in that nice little record of mine was a week where i went 1-6, and during that week, wayne had an nhl play of the month on atlanta, where they won 4-1, homer had some big plays, and the rest of the guys had a great week , so i ended up even on a week where i think i would have lost about $4,000...........

for me, once i started making money, i knew better than to increase my gambling proportionally.........i do not gamble that much more per game than i did a few years ago when i was not making that much money, but what i learned from the early years was more about 'how to gamble' than the sports themselves........do i really know more about college basketball than i did 15 years ago when i was always losing? no...i do not (although that is a lie b/c the internet allows us to know more), but i learned how to gamble, and never to lose more than i can lose

PAPPY,

No more parlays , No one that makes money on a consistant basis plays parlays. I have not played a parlay in 5 years.

I think the first thing you have to do is accept that your money is gone. You can't get it back overnight. If I were you I would take some time of. maybe a day a week or a month whatever it takes. During that time ask yourself why you gamble in the first place. It doesn't sound like you need the money. It sounds like you run a business or something. When your ready to get back into it try running it like you would a business. If you are just gambling for entertainment maybe lower your bet amount. If you really want to make money you have to stay disciplined. And, if you need any help feel free to look me up.

[pappy]

Thanks i appreciate the advise.

[East Coast]

For the amount of money you bet, you should be betting 3-7 games a week - - MAXIMUM!!!


only bet the sharpshooter plays that hit more often than not, and you will climb out of your hole.

there are some bettors and services that hit a high percentage of their top plays (i mean their top plays)


good luck with your quest to get back your money, there is hope if you have patience!!

pappy i'll say this hoping not to offend anyone. Take my top plays in each sport and play them all equal. Example, if i have a 10,5, and 3 unit play in one sport then play the 10 and 5 and skip the 3 unit play. If i have a 5 and a 3 unit play then play the 5 and skip the 3 unit play. If all the picks in one sport are rated the same than play them all (example: Arena Football). It won't work everday obviously but i bet you make out in the end. If you do happen to read this thread, try it for a week. Even if it's just on paper and you see the results before you make the wagers. If you did it today you would be 7-3 with Phil. and the AFC pending.

There are a ton of EXCELLENT cappers here that could do the job for you. I'm just sick of reading a hundred of the same type of responses with you still "Unsure" of what to do.

There i said it and you can keep track for a week and check it out.

Not trying to in any way be arrogant here but i'm trying to give you what you want. An answer. I'm thinking i can do alot better than the people you have followed in the past, and it's FREE!

I also agree that John (ez winners) will be as consistent as you will find. He seems to be on the + side in everything!

[pappy]

Wayne I will definetly follow your top plays for a week or two on paper but for now I think I am going to stick with EZ Winner and see how I do with his plays. I really do appreciate all the information and suggestions! What I have to do is limit the amount of plays I play per day, stop buying 1/2 points no more parlays!

Ideally I would like to limit the plays per week also try to get a system where maybe I can work up to 20k and stop. either way

What I really need to do is get intouch with EZ Winner and tell him I am his new best friend and I will be riding his coattails from now on!

Good Luck Brother!
