I couldn't bet for less than $1,000. If I'm going to even remotely handicap and sweat a game it's got to mean something to me in terms of monetary reward or loss.

Normally 1 unit is $100 for me.

I sure know what you mean though, BB. It sure seems like some of this effort is a waste at $100 per unit. However, I've learned my lesson after many mistakes in the past (even recent past) so I'll stick to my measly $100 to $500 bets. If I like something really well, I'll play $1000 but no more than that anymore.

EBone some of the handicappers I respect the very most of all are $100-$500 bettors. Anyone who can stay with a self-established bankroll and exhibit self-control is to be commended in my book...

Does anyone mind sharing how to create a poll? I've seen the checkbox on the bottom when creating a thread, but nothing happens beyond that...

I always just wager a $100 a shot, although I may have several wagers on any given day.This is supposed to be a fun thing, anymore than a $100 a wager, it would start to be a serious thing, and I dont need anymore seriousness in my life.

later

If I have this correct, I think you create polls this way:

1) Go to a specific subforum here (ie, Baseball handicapping, Players Talk, etc....)

2) Once at the page where topics are listed for that specific subforum, there is a button above the topics that says something like "New Thread/Topic". Click it.

3) On the page that starts the new topic, scroll down the page and it asks if you want to start a Poll. I believe you can only start a poll when you start a new topic so I think it is only here where you can start a poll.


This isn't the best explanation but I think it can get you close.

i think someone else already answered your question.

i like to bet $100 because anything less does not excite me. and i want to keep this relatively entertaining, so don't want to bet too much each game.

too bad this is the first time i am trying out the poll thing. i should've set up in a way so people know who voted what. i am curious who picked 10k+ as well.

i think someone should make another poll and merge the two threads

Default today is the worst day of my gambling career

my 2 1/2 month hot streak is officially over today. i don't want to get into how much i've lost the last couple of days...let's say it is more than enough to pay for Harvard for a year.
