Question newbie needs help
Friends,

I'm new to this forum and happy that I've found it.

New to the betting world I have lost a good deal of my bankroll this fall & winter. I'm beginning to understand the basics to this game and realize it's no get rich quick scheme.

I'm currently working with a few handicappers and generally bet all of their picks hoping that they end up above the 52-55% range.

Question: Should I be betting all of their picks, I play over 5-15 per day on average, is this too many for long term success?

Don't laugh, I have no one to go to to ask.

Money management is the biggest key to learn as a beginner... also suggest to play no more then a few plays at a time till you get a system going.

I would stay away from blindly tailing anyone. Look at someones pick , handicap the game yourself and if it lines up, pull the trigger.
