Week 5 results

Week 5 was rough, but it's not the end of the world, and we're still faring better than many. It's a little-known fact, but most have depleted their entire bankroll, likely on their third attempt by now. I've reiterated countless times that I treat my sports betting account like an investment portfolio. Unlike the typical gambler who risks 50, 60, or even 100% of their funds on a single bet, I avoid such hazards. My goal is to persevere until the NBA season, which presents the most opportunities. Currently, I'm up by 15% for the year.

I began last week with $1,411.05 and concluded with $1,150. This approach is akin to managing a hedge fund, where the primary objective is to prevent catastrophic losses and avoid gambling addiction. My aim is to double my initial $1,000 to $2,000, so I'll continue to take measured risks. In sports, unpredictable events occur: referees miss calls, may be biased, or players get injured. Those who wager half their bankroll on a single game may find success short-lived, but such strategies are unlikely to pay off in the long term.

I'm just trying to get by until the NBA season starts. Mixing NBA and NFL bets is where it's at.
