just wandering about *plays

[Kaptain]

gl to ya on your plays--------and to answer your question....Each star (*) is $100.00 to me....Have numerous 10* games daily and sometimes 100 units a day (usually about 50-60 daily).....Theres 4 of us in it together....And yes, we can all afford to lose, but we haven't been....I imagine if I starting losing a lot, I'd cut it back, or not play at all.................

what a showoff....lol

[RJeremy]

i think everyone has a different meaning of what a * is. I think HJ said a * for him is $25, whereas for me a * = $100.

That's probably why he posts 40* and 50*, whereas I post 4* and 5*. About the same amount.

[jcindaville]

Bet what you can afford regardless of how many ***. When i follow others, I bet what they predict equally, dont care if 1 is a 5* or a 1*. Just what i do, for what its worth

[ChuckLazar]

I never bet more than 10% of my bankroll on any game period.....I'm in this to make $$$ and that's all.....The most I bet on any game is $5000 only because I can afford to.....And I never and I mean never bet with $$$ that I don't have....

[spaarkie]

10* 15* what i post it for is what i play it for each* is $100.00

and yep...i paid the boy today....and i am not a happy camper

it took along time to be able to play this amount......the main thing is being able to gain a bank large enough to play it that way

I can relate to that----each of us (4 ea) put up $5000.00 9 years ago....We cashed in after a year. with our profits, and left the Original amt in there....In essence 5% of $20,000.00 is $100.00....we just got used to that figure, and stayed there....

Every now and then, for example, about 3 weeks back, I cut it to $50.00, was having hard times, and we had just re=established our acct after taking our winnings....I did not want to dwindle it down, and go back to my partners for more $....

I think your % is right on the money, and a good way to manage it.........kapt

Kapt...thanx agreed it takes ALONG time...it took me over 6 yrs to be able to play this type of wagering.......

#1 learn to cap a game whether 1 -2-3 sports
#2 $$$mangement HUGE
#3 learn not to OVER CAP a game

over cap = not pressing be cuz one team is on the road or a home team is a large fav....don't under estimate a player being out/nor over estimate depends on the game your looking at

#4 never press your $$$ YOU'LL LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the long run

#5 TEASERS are the books best friend...yep alot of guys win at it here but teasers are the books inticer

#6 PARLAYS......tuff one but ALWAYS ALWAYS PLAY MUCH SMALLER than your top 2 plays never more than 2 on a Par


just my shit for 2 cents


best of luck all

my 1*=$25

people post these 10*, 15* ect. plays, my question is do most of these people actually bet thousands per game? i've been in the gambling industry for many years, not to be nosey but just wandering? i'm a middle class guy and stress and watch my 1 unit plays intensely. I could'nt imagine having a ton of money on games. any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks,

Will

The point of his question is about people betting all these *s.

I suspect people posting at 1*, 2* or 3* are betting more than people posting 20*, 40* or 100*.

The thing to understand is what a * equals. I play 1-3* and 4* for a GOY. I don't post a lot of plays but swing hard on the ones I do. Most plays are 1*. A 2* is double my normal bet. A 3* is triple.

I could easily call these 10*, 20* or 30* and bet the same money but what's the point?

In evaluating plays posted here, you should bet them according to the individual poster's scale. A 1* for somebody may be just as big a play as a 10* on somebody else's system.

Nice thread-
Very confident now after only a little more than a year of betting. I keep all games within 100-300. 500's are also used but I ask myself 4 questions that are in front of me at all times.

1) Do the percentages favor this play or am I taking it upon perception?
-This question asks if the bet has all the makings of a winner.

2) Does the play give me confidence that the other side will have to pull quite an upset to win this?
-This question makes me look at the opposing side - so I am not one-sided in my thinking.
Seen way to many times - that "I don't care who Bumkinville plays tonight - They win!"

3) What cycle are we in? Are dogs ruling or favs hitting. Is the Under coming in or the Overs. Are the cappers on site hitting or am I just wishing this play hits.
Have I soiled my underwear again-- uhhhh OK Thats for you Spark.
-This question aligns me with patterns and percentage plays or other plays that are presently going in a certain direction. (Hot / Cold Craps table concept)

4) Does the amount of money placed on this bet stay within my structure or am I reaching to gain back lost money or getting greedy and want more?
-This question allows me a chance to check inward -- "why this amount" and "what condition am I in."

-I imagine a few more questions could be used- so far this works for me. Keeping my plays at a constant level- keeps me sane as I have seen what a heavily emphasized play can do to the throng following and it misfires.
Proud as we may be- each follower should note that they will hit between 66-70 % mostly on these plays. I don't mean for a short time but over a length of time.

I am closing in on my first year on this site. (2-15).
I acknowledge many cappers here that have my attention daily and I would not have grown to be a winner- if not for their encouragement.

- I am saying that I am far from the "square" that I was before I joined.

[Spearit]

The 66-70 % is for demolishers, bank-its, etc. and its just a guess. Emphasizing to still play within your structure that you have set for yourself.

PATIENCE.............

[JamminJ]

Bet what you can I usually pay attention and know what they usually bet for stars and use that to decide on how confident the Capper is on a given game then make my choices on the amount based on usual betting patterns compared to the day

[savage1]

I suspect people posting at 1*, 2* or 3* are betting more than people posting 20*, 40* or 100*.


Hey Griswold-What about folks like Brandon Lane who have thousand dime lock games or 20 million star games;I wonder what THEY themselves bet on these games if you get my drift.

Spearit-what you said should be written in a gamblers handbook for someone who is just starting out and/or used by someone who wants to reevaluate his or own present criterion assuming they have any(along with my common sense advice of course lol).
ps Everyone else has great and helpful advice also.
