Question for the Pros: How many units do you need to win over the course of a season to consider it a success?

[Machiavelli]

Curious.

[mikeman]

One, if you end the year ahead, you're a sharp.

[milwaukee mike]

the only unit i care about is in my pants

 

if you have an advantage, bet the most they will allow you to bet, if you don't then bet 0

2% roi

[Sam Odom]

X = $$$ goal per month

 

X / 8 = U (unit) $$$ value

 

U * 75 = BR

You're asking the wrong question, like most gamblers.

2% roi

this

[milwaukee mike]

i don't get the 2% thing

 

if all you wanted to do was make 2% then you could bet props with $10 limits

 

last time i checked when buying a car, eating out, etc, they want a specific dollar amount

 

wouldn't you rather make $50k even if it was 0.3% than $40k that was 2%

Making 50k at .03% means you got lucky. Making 40k on 2% means you got skills. The 40k guy will never have a losing year while the 50k guy will most certainly have several losing years.

what if the .3% was because you found mostly 1 cent scalps and a lot of 0 cent scalps?

 

that certainly wouldn't be getting lucky, and it could be recreated every year for eternity with little variance and no losing years

Good point, Michael. You prove there are exceptions.

More money always better than less money.   The more you can bet on something though the lower the edges you are likely to find, so that will push down overall ROI even if you hit something like 10%+ on props or something

[Machiavelli]

Alright... let's change this up a tad........

 

 

Say you play a sport that you're good at.....and over the course of the year, you make 100 plays at the same number each time. 

 

Over those 100 plays, what do you expect to be ahead if you're good at what you do??
