Gump, it seems ur post got swamped up in the news about Sportingbet. plc CEO being arrested, as reguards to money management i suggest you play the same game at the same unit, or go smaller. be consistant. 6 games a day is too much imo. try picking some early games and if those do well and u seem satisfyed with ur early plays add on to your card from there.

I have to agree with Will. What your system fails to do is allow for a losing streak. They are going to happen. You must allow yourself enough room to survive the losing streaks so you can maximize your wagers when the winning streaks come around.

> MINDSET: The goal is not to get back your money you lost. It's gone. Until that is clear, don't bet at all. Chasing losses is a recipe for disaster. As soon as you can honestly say you're starting over again today, then get back in. Until then lay off.

> BET SIZE: You are not justifying why your bet sizes increase, and that is the main killer of your bankroll. Make your bet unit size the same for every bet.

> # BETS: Follow the advice given above, 3 bets per day is plenty.

> STRATEGY: Stabilize, then go for bigger $$$. Get yourself picking 50-50 first and then try changing things up a bit i.e. make one of your 3 plays a 2 unit bet and see how things go.

well... regardless, you're using a progression system in an environment where you are paid off at less than true odds...

...just as the discovery of the calculus demonstratively established that it was impossible to square the area of the circle...

..it is the branch of math known as "probability/statistics" that proves no progression system will work, in the long run, when one is being paid off at less than true odds.

FIND A GOOD CAPPER ON THIS FORUM(JonnyBlaze is one...ask for the names of others.....bet 2% on each game per Fatman and Jerome) and then...

..be patient---Neither Rome nor Bankrolls were built in a day
