Suggestions for Sports Betting Forum FAQ

[craig r]

I think the FAQ should discuss varying your wagers. Here are my thoughts (and I KNOW they are correct)..if you are a good enough capper to know your edge, then vary your bets. If you don't know your exact edge then always bet the same % (increasing or decreasing as bankroll goes up). Some plays are better than others, if you are good enough to know this, then why not bet more. It is like flat betting blackjack when the count is high. Why would you do that? The reason I am discussing this here is it seems to come up once a week. My guess is Sublime and Tech would agree with me (I still don't know why Tech tells me bet 15% on my normal plays and 30% on my real strong ones).

I completely agree that what you said is mathematically correct, but I also believe that most bettors aren't good enough to quantify their edge.
