Sports Betting

[Zybomb]

I am roughly a break even sports bettor -- but that is due to nasty streaks and partially due to Tilt.

I track my Sports bets just as I do my poker sessions (although not in detail). This year I've been up as much as $5800 overall and down as much as 2700 overall (there's a swing for ya! that happened over an ICE COLD 2-2.5 months between the end of April and the beginning of July). Right now, Im in the middle of a decent streak, and am up $960 for the year (9.6 Units) after the Suns loss tonight.

I think if I had bet with my head 100% of the time, instead of taking a beat and chasing my losses by taking games just bc they were there, not bc I liked them, I'd be up FAR more. (I've easily lost 25+ Units betting on Tilt). In the past 2 months, I've been betting smart, not making dumb bets if I lose etc and I've won 6 out of the last 8 weeks, with both losing weeks being only (approx) 2 Unit losses.

Sports is just a recreational thing for me, which I'd like to win a few hundred each week if possible. Im certaintly not as knowledgable as Penguin, but I do try and look into my picks.
