If a guy I'm competing against is trying to tilt me for his advantage, that's part of the game. Some innocent bystander just being a prick for no reason (no matter what he convinces himself of) - that I just don't get.

Can't do it. Won't do it!

Lol - you logged on the Internet for that. Dynamite drop in. Hope that made you feel good about yourself. Truly.


This is actually just entertaining at this point in this brutal night. Maybe I can get even get some wins. Or losses, to illicit more insightful replies like this.

I need to get over myself, but you felt your opinion to be so worthwhile that you wanted other people to know that YOU wanted some dude on the Internet that you know nothing about to get over himself. K

Jord,


Keep doing what you are doing . Fire away and a lot of us like to check out your posts. Some of the critics steal plays from Power Sweep and post them on here but no one seems to call them out . No big deal as this is a site for entertainment and helping each other win. Keep it coming my man!

J this thread has gone viral ! Don't waste the keystrokes...

Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, concern, and anxiety over an anticipated loss or status of something of great personal value = MONEY.

These idiots kiss your ass when you win and come out of the wood work when you have an off day. FUCK EM'

No one should question HOW YOU BET OR THE AMOUNTS.....A question about why you prefer a side is fair.

Just reading this shit made me eat an edible flown in from Denver...Best of luck tomorrow ! :0008

Hate to jump into this sort of crap but I'm getting a kick out of it myself. I'm wondering where some of these guys are on the days Jord nearly sweeps the board, completely non existent of course.

With that said, I was a little bit surprised by some of your plays today. I look at your plays almost daily after I cap and submit my own. And I feel like we're on the same side far more often than not. We weren't really matching up at all today. Not my attempt at a brag..I didn't post shit to back it up. I was just surprised, anyways, I'm sure you'll bounce back ..hopefully it's tomorrow when you do.

Its sort of funny how people can't see that probably the only way to really beat sports betting and make a lot of money is by betting a lot of games. Yes the swings are enormous, but w good bankroll management it doesn't really matter. People don't understand that Jord is a trader and in trading you need volume for one but u also can size your plays from very aggressive to not so much more easily because you have much more control of your risk. In betting you really don't , u make a play u can't really cut your loss on that specific play. SO because u can't do that u need to bet a ton of games w a small edge. Jord is trying to hit 55-58% of his plays. Anything else is not realistic. If he does that over and over and over assuming his bankroll management is A+, he will crush it. He's probably the best guy whose ever posted on here in terms of understanding how this shit works. So if you don't understand that and question is "coin flipping" strategy, I hope this answer helps

:facepalm:

That is just not true.
You can't bet on the entire slate of games and expect to make $.
I know 11 pro Cappers who live in Vegas.
Yesterday one of them had 4 plays all day , the rest between 2-3 plays.
All of them made profit.

Hey Jord - you must be a real idiot to play that amount on this shit -and play that many games. What are you a coin flipper!??!?!

At least you maintain some respect that way. I wouldn't agree - but like Bombs, who has rightfully called me at times, I'd have some respect. Not that you care about my respect, but the fact that kind of demeanor is accepted is pretty sad for the times.

Hate to bring this train wreck of a thread back to the top, but I couldn't resist responding when mentioned by name. The key to properly understanding, or at least thinking about, the more games, less games argument is in terms of bankroll utilization and application of an expected ROI on your total handle. The way to make money wagering on sports is to 1) pick games that produce a positive ROI and 2) maximize that ROI by playing amounts that do not stretch your bankroll. With #2 in mind, I would advise playing no more than 1% of your bankroll on a single game, with a substantial number of plays below 1% - 1% is a huge number. Let's say you make 10 0.5% plays a day to utilize 5% of your bankroll. in 20 days you will have wagered 100% of your bankroll. In a full year, you will wager 1825% of your total bankroll (your handle). If your initial bankroll was 10000, that would be a handle of 182500. If you are able to pull a 2% ROI over the entire year (not easy, except of course for all of you guys here), you will net yourself a handsome 3650 (not bad starting with 100 dollar wagers). Of course, if you adjust the amount you wager daily, the amount will go up as you win (down if you lose) so you have some escalators/de-escalators that will come into effect to help or protect you respectively. By keeping your average wager to 0.5% of your bankroll, it is unlikely you will go broke with streaks and slumps and if you do well (remember you need to pick winners) you will have a way to increase your bankroll. Over time, you can grow your bankroll, and if you really suck at this, like most people, you won't vaporize your entire bankroll.

The issue with playing less games is that there is really no warranted situation where you should be playing more than 1% of your bankroll because if you do this, when you go on a bad run (and everyone has bad variance runs), you will likely go broke, chase, and almost certainly screw yourself. So, to make the same amount of money over the course of a fixed amount of time you will either need to 1) dramatically increase your ROI (because of less games and therefore a smaller handle) or 2) increase the amount you play per game (highly risky and greatly increases your chances of going broke).

Consequently, what it comes down to is that you want to bet the most games you can and still achieve a positive ROI. If you can churn out a 2% ROI playing tons of games that's better than a 5% ROI with less games when taking into account the need to manage your bankroll. Furthermore, sustaining that 5% ROI might be easy over the short run but doing it over the long run will be difficult and if you are playing less games for larger amounts the down times will be very bad.

One other thing to consider is that sports wagering allows for you to, over time, "invest" more money than you actually have because the transactions in and out are continuous, sort of like interest capitalization. Unlike a stock where you would invest 10k and hope to make a set %, when wagering on sports you could start with 10k and over the course of the year invest 182500, and if you prevent yourself from going broke, you can really capitalize on winning picks.

Of course, nowhere in here do I mention anything about paying the vig. You are doing that either way every time you lose. Paying it less often is nonsense, as you are here to play, and it should be factored into your ability to win or lose. Jord is right, playing less games to avoid "paying juice" makes no sense. If that is your thinking, the way to pay the least juice is to pick no games at all.
