Yeah, I was just looking at the old spreadsheet, hadn't seen them in almost 2 years. Final record eneded up being: Partial-game totals 139-92-10 (60.2%), +70.9 units, including a 22-6, +20.3 unit week right toward the end


... and still went broke. My money management was just pathetic

Mac.....out of curiousity what changes did you make in your money management? Anytime I have a friend who gets into sports betting I drill into their head that they must be extremely disciplined......easy to lose sight of long term when you're extremely hot or cold.

Take the 2 minutes a day it takes to track bets. Volume & bet size should remain fairly consistent; if one seems themselves straying too far from that then they need to reevaluate things.

I was in college and that was my start into betting. Basically did everything you're not supposed to do. Recklessness caused the hot streak to provide insane profit and hubris. Made a lot of winning crash and burn into nothing real quick. School came pretty easy so I had too much free time to come up with things to bet on. When I lost, I chased. All the classic first time mistakes. Thankfully I was a poor college student and didn't have too awful much money to lose

Humbling experience. I'm on a bit of a cold streak right now and will probably pack it in for a little while rather than throw more money at it.

A segmented quarter system is a pretty sophisticated entrance into sports betting. Pretty impressive that you had that sort of success record-wise.

Anyone liking Bucknell at Nova? Or Nicholls at Ucla? Books seem to be happy to take FAV money on both.

Ya. I like both Bucknell and CoC, but CoC moved on me.
