I forgot to mention that the games you bet on will need to be as close to -110 or EV as possible, that way it will best mimic you risking 1 penny to win a penny. That is how I bet anyway, I bet on games with 50/50 odds, or close to it, never more than -130, that is my max.

for the love of god stop saying penny's
I think I read it in there like 9872024210 times, that was excruciatingly hard to read lol.

understand your bankroll management but your playing 5% on each play which is actually quite high making risk of ruin quite high. 1-3% is alot safer.
And it doesnt matter how smartly you make picks, or if they are 1 play a day you can still go on very prolonged losing streaks.

I think the key is finding overvalued dogs and undervalued favs.

Yeah I did mention penny's there quite a bit didn't I, I reconsidered playing 5 % each play, might reduce that to 3 %. Yeah your right. I was tired when I wrote that, I think I got a little carried away with the explanation. I had to laugh at your comment, haha

Although many professional bettors will only play high rated games, and leave the rest alone, which is the style I would follow. You may go 3 days without playing, but when a game comes up with some heavy hitters playing it, that's when I would bet. Some may play 1 unit, 2 unit, 3 unit, 4 unit, and 5 unit plays all in one night, to me, you are better off just playing all equal bets, and leave the games you are unsure about alone. Everyone has a different style. I understand it is riskier playing 5-units every game, but if you be patient and wait for the games to come to you, it could pay off big time. A wise man once said you can't win if your not willing to risk.
