people bet with your brain not your heart, good way to lose your *** if you do it the other way. just some food for thought.

No one is telling anyone to bet their paycheck. If you are gambling without a bank roll and a plan or gambling away your mortgage money, that is a different story.

For me this is probably $100 worth. $20 on the three sides and another $20 on the money line for Iowa and Northwestern. I could be out $100, up $110, or somewhere in between.

You call that a bankroll? No offense, but that is pretty slim for a guy betting off-season lines. Considering the fees associated with online gaming (bitcoin out I would assume) and the vig, I couldn't rationalize betting anything less than 100 bucks a game.

I get hit hard with fees but make fairly large deposits which get a nice 30-50% bonus on Sportsbook. That evens it out. When you get that bonus on a 1-2k deposit, it covers a lot of vig and fees associated with withdrawals.

Not really, but I consider myself to be a pretty good gambler, which means I have broken even over my lifetime.

I just don't see how you can make any money with this strategy. The losses will always be there, but the wins have to be there to cover them.

As I said before, possibly in a different thread, it entertainment to me. I have a job, I don’t need to make $100+ bets every time to supplement my income. I also don’t have to play 30 games a week.

I have won at about 58% over the last 2 seasons, so I win enough to cover my expenses , still play on my same initial investment.
