Question for anyone willing to share…
Do you use any specific formula or strategy while betting?
My general strategy is to “win the week”.
I currently have six different accounts open.
I bet some games I feel strongly about.
I bet some games from a few cappers I tail.
I scour Reddit to find value plays.
I bet boosts against other books to lock in a few bucks when I can.
I bet a few +EV bets (promoguy on Twitter has been pretty solid for these).
I make a few 4+ leg parlays and hedge to lock in a profit when I can.
I generally do all the risk-free promos.
I usually convert my free bets to guaranteed money around a 70% rate.
My bankroll has tripled since last October, but staying disciplined is hard. This article was published this week and Reddit is pissed about being “outed”

I have about another $1K to go to hit my goal for my “big purchase”, withdraw and start building again. Like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, I’m interested to hear what strategies you guys have.
Best of Luck!

Oh… and my plays for today:
-Tail BucketJon soccer picks
-FanDuel boost UNC/Duke both over 68 at +100
-Hedge DraftKings boosts against other books for a few $
-Inevitably picking another NBA SGP to lose by one leg.

I took Villanova and North Carolina.
different wagers, one straight up parlay and one with points. I have no idea why 😂

Both of us will get it wrong somehow.Because I bet on Duke and Kansas.
So congrats on your winnings, sir!!!
I took them both too. Have a futures bet going with KU, so hedging. Hoping a nice middle hits with Nova losing. Probably do the same Monday night if KU wins today.
I ended up with about 8u on KU -4 and -4.5. 🤑
Have several other KU/Duke parlays, so I'm hedging a little bit on UNC ML. I still think Duke rolls though.
Winner, winner!! I'm a shitty sports gambler. I threw what I had left in my account at the above. I know I'm going to turn it around this time!!
Gonna pat myself on the back here, so bear with me. Two active bets right now:
Kansas future; $20 to win $280 (placed in November)
ML Parlay +567
Denver vs. LAL (yesterday, Nugs won)
South Carolina WBB (yesterday, they won)
North Carolina tonight
$42 to win 280
I’m a winner no matter what.
I am leaning hard on the OVER 151.5 in tonight’s game.
Also, I might play around with some round-robin futures on NBA, NFL and NCAAF. The payouts are ridiculous, I’ll post what I conjure up.

151.5 scares me a bit. Kansas has had two 3+ min scoring droughts the last two games. Granted Nova has a great D, but still concerning. I also expect both teams to come out slow similar to the last game between UNC and Duke. Nerves will be through the roof. I also have cashed in some big big money on UNC and their overs this year. Probably my most profitable bet.
The total has come down, so you’re not alone in being nervous. I think Kansas is going to run at every opportunity, which will create transition looks for Manek, Love and Davis. That’s my rudimentary analysis of the game.
I refuse to take unders, so I'll probably be on the over and UNC +4 with lunch money on the ML.
I'm on Kansas -4. UNC has good guard play, but Bacot's sprained ankle is going to be a huge factor (IMO).
Called the over issue earlier. Kansas goes through way to many scoring droughts and didn't play and O like UNC in the tourney.
O/u has no chance. Wish I would have just listened to my gut. Kansas has way too many scoring droughts.
LOL, idiot.
Kansas looks like shit. They don’t have an offense, it’s all iso-ball.
It was obvious coming in. They didn't play top tier teams to get here and it's showing. They rode big scoring droughts with solid D against O inefficient teams.
I've never been so pissed at myself for not acting on my intuition. All day today I was on UNC +4 and ML and bitched out for the over. Fml
Vegas wins again. I'm guessing 80% of the action was on KU -4 or UNC ML.
Yuck. UNC should have stayed in the locker room at half.
Vegas always wins.
If the refs would’ve called it fair, UNC would be shooting FT’s with 8 minutes left and the OVER hits easily

I too the Fan Duel boost of UNC +7.5 and over 150. Thought it was a good bet. Knew at half it was going to be an uphill battle for the over. Kansas couldn't make shit
Was able to hedge the FanDuel boost for guaranteed $.
FD boost
DK UNC +7.5 and Under 149.5
Caesars KU -7.5
Was good for $11.
The amount of money that could have been made live betting was huge last night.

Tale of two halves. Kansas couldn't score in the first and UNC in the second. So frustrating.
All in all, a pretty shitty CBB season from a betting standpoint.
FD with a promo for the Masters; bet $25 on a golfer to win, and get a $25 free bet if they finish in the top 10. I took Justin Thomas.
4 leg Parlay of Hovland, Spieth, Morikawa, Finau to make the cut +115 on FD. Who screws this up for me?
Finau has been pretty quiet this season, but the Masters has been a really good event for him.
It’s such a small field that it really could be any of them off for a 9-hole stretch and they’re missing the weekend.
I’m still a bit pissy that they are moving to free bets instead of site credit.
