I don’t know what kind of experience you have Bonusgeek, but after 20+ years of slashing i can tell you just be patient and selective, find something that makes you money and completely throw out everything else…i play one certain game of poker everyday almost, and in over the past year there have been very few days that i ended up down money, less than 10% of the time to be honest, all the other days i just add to my bankroll and cash out a few grand every month like clockwork, i almost never enter these multi thousand player dream chaser tourny’s, even though i’d like to sometimes, it’s called discipline, without it you will die broke, i didn’t have it before, but i have it now.
Some changes i made, maybe it will help you out
I never go to the track and slash every race like all the skids there do, and like i used to…now i bet only on the big races, maybe about 10-20 a year where the purse is over $1 million
I only bet meaningful games in soccer, football, basketball, hockey, boxing, etc…the 80+ game season in these sports is a total wash, i don’t touch em, unless i have a strong feeling about a certain game.
And my life, and cash flow is much better, i bet more money, less often, and win more money, whatever you bet, make sure you get value
I’ll give you a couple of examples of what i cashed recently
I had Pittsburgh winning the Super Bowl at 50-1 odds, placed in December after they lost to Cincy and their record was 7-5…that was not a lucky hit, i meant to do it, even though at the time i didn’t think they would win, like the bookies also thought, i saw value and bet it…i also had some other teams going, like Carolina at 50-1, etc…but it worked out good in the end…same with the NCAA, i had Florida to win at 34-1 odds, that was the only bet i made on the tourny, just before it started
In soccer i had Benfica at 170-1 odds and AC Milan at 40-1 odds to win the Champions League, they both lost, but they came close to winning and outplayed their odds
In these NHL playoffs i have money on 4 out of the 8 teams left, all at over 20-1 odds, New Jersey, Colorado, Carolina, San Jose…hopefully one of those will hit
I found that betting the futures market was so much more rewarding and less stressful, so i just hammer it and refrain from the tortures of being up and down like a yo-yo from betting every night
The point i am trying to make is that these things work for me, i love the action and always have, these little adjustments i made really worked out good for me, your adjustments might be totally different, but you gotta find your strength and eliminate your weakness, nobody can do that for you
Find discipline, take some Brazilian Ju-Jitsu or something, and be careful around your buddies, especially if they encourage you to go off constantly, or maybe they are go offs
I should also mention that being a good handicapper helps, but that comes with time, if you are perceptive over the years, you will get better, experience is important, you too can eat fine food, drive fine cars, and date fine women, stick with it, it’s worth it.
Seriously, it’s like making a website or anything else, the more you do it, the better you will get at it
