Game Time Picks MNF Week 9

http://www.betphoenixaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=2301

   Time for another MNF game, this one is a hard one for me to pick, both teams are terrible and both defenses are weak. That being said, I feel I have a better chance on taking the home team on this one. Would not surprise me to see either team walk away with this one. One thing I do know for sure though, this game might be a little high scoring, with the over/under at 53, that might be the best bet for this game. But betting over/unders is just not my style, so below is the parlay I will be going with today.

 

 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Betting Strategies 101 - Money Management

Money Management - Being able to correctly pick winners is very important obviously in sports betting, but money management is a key factor of making a profit in the long run in sports betting. As a bettor you will face nice winning streaks and you share of losing streaks, that will frustrate even the best handicappers out there. So you ask yourself what are the key factors of money management. Below I will least some of those factors.

1. Bankroll - You must establish some type of a bankroll before you even start sports betting. You need to figure out how much you can afford to lose, never place any bet unless you can afford to lose whatever amount that you decide to wager with. Whenever I start gambling, I will pick a sportbook or two and deposit one lump sum and once a month I will make a withdrawal. The amount I decide to put in a sports book is determined by two things, how much will I be wagering per bet and will that amount I deposit be enough to cover my cold streaks. Example for as long as I have been gambling, my longest losing streak I can remember is about seven lost wagers in a row. So if I were to bet $100 a game I would put in at least $1000 into a sportbook. That amount would be enough to cover my longest losing streak yet of 7 lost wagers. At the end of the month I would withdraw any net profit I have accumulated, if I now have $1697 in the account, I would withdraw $697 and start all over again the next month. Basically you just have to find out what ever it is that works for you.
2. Wager Amount - With what ever bankroll you start with, you will need to determine how much you want to wager per bet. Win or lose your next bet should always be for the same amount. There is no such bet as a sure bet or a lock, any wager can lose. Losing a bet and upping you next bet because you want to gain back the money lost from your first wager and then still make a profit at the same time, works sometimes but could really be deadly to your bankroll. When you do want to up your bet, it is okay to do it, as long as you plan to stick with the new amount on every game that follows it.       
3. Straight Bet - Find a betting style that works for you and that  you are comfortable with. Straight bets are probably the best for money management though. Once you set the amount you want to wager on every game, stick with it and in the long run if you can win about 60% of your games, then you are good to go. Stay away from having the urge to place a high wager on a team that you really like, or a team that you just can't see losing a particular match  up.
4. Set Goals - Before you begin wagering, set some type of a goal for yourself, but be realistic. Ask yourself questions like, how many games will I be wagering on, what winning percentage should I expect to have, how much of a profit am I shooting for. Goals are important, it just serves as something to aim at and gives you direction.
5. Keep Records - You need to keep some type of a record of how much you are betting and what your record is after a months span, season, or year. You need something that you can go back to whenever and see how you are doing. This can prevent you from making the same mistakes over and over again.

Game Time Picks

   I'm up to five lost parlays in a row. I'm not too worried though, it is early in the month and I consider sports betting more like a marathon then a sprint. Remember my first post titled parlays, I mentioned how important patience is when it comes to sports betting. Well now is when I have to be patient and keep betting the same way that I always do. I am not upping my bet or anything, just continuing to bet the same amount as I always do. That being said, below are the two parlays I am going with today.

 

 

Good luck to all

   This month I am in a nice little losing streak. Following up another lost parlay, that makes it 4 in a row. Just placed Kansas State, Chicago Bulls, Denver Broncos, and Houston Texas all money lines on a four teamer with odds at +176.

   Ok, so I am going to pretend that last night never happened. Today is a new day and these are my picks for today.

   Trying to rebound from my loss yesterday. Last night I had Oklahoma Thunder and Western Kentucky (NCAAF) both teams loss, so wasn't even close on that one. Today is a new day and I expect to win as a few NBA games are to my likings. The games I most like (money line of course)are the Chicago Bulls -3 (road) vs Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat -6.5 (road) vs New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers -7 (road) vs Charlotte Bobcats and Denver Nuggets -6 (road) vs Orlando Magic. Even though I hate taking three team parlays, below you will see that I did. Since I lost yesterday, this three teamer I am taking today will, if I win of course replenish the amount I lost yesterday plus I'd make a profit equal to the amount I wagered last night too. Tonight I am deciding to go with two parlays, a three teamer and a two teamer. The NBA is usually my strongest sport when it comes to sports betting, so I try to get all I can when the season is going on. All the above teams should win, the only one that I have a slight concern about is Chicago, but if they win, I believe I'll be cleaning house tonight.

   Good Luck to all that wager tonight.

Gonna be a good one

  

   Tonight there is really only one game that interests me, that game being the Oklahoma Thunder vs the San Antonio Spurs. The spurs won me money last night on my three teamer I had them with along with Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers. Today though I am liking the Thunder over Spurs. Oklahoma Thunder is on the road at +2 vs the San Antonio Spurs. Game should be close, but hopefully the Thunder end up on top. The parlay I took tonight is listed below, which includes the college football game going on tonight between Western Kentucky -9 at home and Middle Tennessee.
