A good start, but caution to the board:

A good start, but caution to the board: The sharps here are looking to hit around 54-55% of their plays. If we start on a hot run, don't over-bet your bankroll. There will be many, many great bets over the course of the year.....3% of bankroll is a good ceiling for what you should risk at a maximum for any one play and 1-2% for most plays.

The majority of losing players go bust not because they are batting 50% into -110 lines, but because they can't manage their bankrolls. If anything, managing a bankroll can allow you to play recreationally for longer. If you are gonna lose, at least lose over a longer period of time and enjoy yourself. Some gambler friends of mine say you are not a true gambler unless you have gone bust at least once, as if it is glorious. I guess I am not a gambler.....

Often we fade steam right at post when some books cave in and BEG for anti-public action (at great rogue lines). Fading steam in preseason is usually not wise as sharps control the preseason lines.
