How to play long term...
A friend asked me the other day how I managed to gamble straight for over 10 years and I thought it was a good question. I'm a daily player year round for over 10 years running and I gave him 3 tips to staying in the game:
1.) when you win, put 1/2 of your winnings that week away and spend the other half. Every schemp I know that got busted by gambling spent his winnings like an idiot week in week out.
2.) Know your strengths and weaknesses. I am one arrogant Son of a bitch when it comes to college hoops. I'll put my Mo Valley record 3 years running against any capper in the country ATS and unit wise. My point...I rock hoops and usually MLB (a little cold the past few weeks) and some other sports..but I know when to pickride or not play. NFL sides I did allright on webcomo last year and totals here okay. But I ride guys that I know can produce and it works.
3.)MOST IMPORTANT: don't go overboard. As Ultimatecapper will tell you, I've had to take 2 or 3 weeks off from playing to make sure I wasn't dipping into MY money. When losing, don't chase and play out of your boundaries. Every guy I know who is busted is out because he owes a huge amount he can't pay. If you cut yourself off when your having a bad week, you can shoot back..Hell, if it takes you 2 or 3 weeks to catch up, don't play. By following 1 and 3 you can play all day, all week, all year.
That's all I got. It was a good question and I thought I would throw it out here. Most of you already know this...guys like BP, Ricky, JT, Takis, Sunday, and Como have proven to me that you can pickride with success. I never played a hockey minute in my life but I showed a 4K profit this year in pucks thanks to Takis and MC and a few others. Know who to ride and take the time to research their records. I have tons of respect for guys who post their records every day. It's hard to do when your cold, but it's fair. I wouldn't want people riding me if I'm cold and I think that people don't post their records sometimes because they are embaressed. Anyways, good luck this year and let's roll$$$$$
