I posted this in yest and todays thread but wanted to put it under a seperate cover
1. If you use the term "get this paper" or any derivative therof, u can't be old enough or smart enough to be a good capper....I suggest you ignore all posters that use silly infantile slang...
2. you have to have gone broke at least once to be a good capper...and that still guatantees nada....sounds silly..im sure it does...has nothing to do with money management.....reason is if u dont spend 20-30 hours at this weekly, u wont be good and most can't do that and pay the rent...having a "feel" is great...but is only a small part of this business...
3. you have to bet more than 1k per game....bare minimum....i know it seems silly, but if u dont bet enough to pay the rent its just a hobby, so dont call your self a handicapper
4.you have to make ur own line...if u cant do that, then u arent handicapping ur guessing
5. reverses are for suckers
6. the superbowl is just another game
7. never chase money...if ur down going into sunday, bet em like its just another day, and if u cant afford to, its monday thru saturday that u messed up....
8. who cares which way the line moves if you did your work, unless u know who moved it and why, it doesnt matter....
9. if u worry more about the weeks u get paid than the weeks you pay, ur a handicapper and running your business right...
10.your bookie isnt your friend and if you aren't shopping for good lines with multiple books you are giving away too much to be successful
11. sign on issues or not, matchbook is a must for baseball players if you dont have multiple books. if you bet 1k a game and save 2 cents per play over 200 bets in a season u can lose 4k less....if you dont get that then u cant be a good handicapper..
12. you cant bet baseball with a 20 cent line(if u dont know what i mean, start collecting stamps, as this isnt for u) as any reduced juice is your friend
more to come...comments i could care less about...if your too stubborn, young or think u know everything, keep doing it however you do it...I could care less..
