little help with purchasing foxsheets

I am a young about to be college graduate. I have been kind of around the foxden forum for awhile just trying to learn. I have no money, and have just been reading to learn as much as I possibly can. Now that I am about to graduate, I am going to try and invest in The FoxSheets. My main question is, which sheets do you suggest to me?? I have a very small bankroll, but want to get involved, because i feel like money can be made gambling, if lots of work, and more importantly, wise investing is done. Please help me to decide which foxsheets to purchase?

On another note. I am not a member and never have been. But I would have become a member much quicker had there also been a members forum to join.

welcome aboard yryllryfyyddkrrd,

Just get the standard Foxsheets membership. That'll be plenty of info for you to get started. Keep reading this board... some very smart & experienced guys here who you can learn from. Learn from our mistakes. We've made them all.

Baseball can be very good to the wallet. Read up on money management as well. Without soild MM you will fail early and get taken out of the game before you even get started.

Good luck!

I agree with P. Rose. Money Management is the key. Start small and accept small returns. You have to crawl before you can walk. Good Luck in all your picks.

Just curious, where ya graduating from and with what?

yrr......

do NOT get greedy. With a small bankroll the worse thing you can do is get greedy and think you are invinsible. stay small even when you hit a streak. Wager about 10% of bank a game. If you buy the sheets, you may want to consider 20% a top play.

GL to you

thanks

Thanks for all of the help guys. I am about to graduate from Roanoke College. I do have a question or two though. I feel like 10% of your bankroll is quite a large sum. Is that accurate. And then 20% on big plays. Feel like a bad streak and your money is gone. I will probably purchase the buy 3 months get 1 free with statfox. So therefore i will be able to get through almost the whole baseball season. I have between $100 and $250 i will be able to deposit to do my wagering. Do you think this is enough money to make purchasing statfox worth it, or would you wait till i work for a few months and make some more money. The problem with that would be, that i miss the baseball season. I feel as though when wagering, you should wager the same dollar amount on all wagers and just be consistent to make money. Just a little help on managing the $100-$250 i will bet with would be greatly appreciated. thank you

If you think that 20% on a play is a lot, think again. That is the amount I invest on the star system top plays. As of yesterday, my account is up 530 % in three weeks of play.

Beats the pathetic 4.5 % annual interest the bank hands you for opening a "savings" account

530% nice job Betman! I'm up over 650% since the season started. Not bragging... just excited and thankful.

See no reason we can't keep it going either.

Good luck all.

It all depends how agressive you want to be. If you chose 10% of your bankroll and you deposit $120, your first bet would be $12. If you lose, your next bet would be $10.80. If you win, it would be 10% of your new bankroll.

These are 4 rules that I live by:

1. There is no such thing as a lock.

2. Find a good money management system and stick to it... religiously. (10% is a little aggressive for me, I personally bet 5% on top plays and never more than 15% of my bankroll in one session) Using a percentage system is good because hypothetically you will never reach 0. However if you find yourself betting a penny a game you might want to consider starting over.

3. Avoid logging in to your sportsbook account after consuming 5 or more alcoholic beverages. (Following rule number 3 will make following rule number 2 a lot easier.)

4. There is no such thing as a lock.

Now all you have to do is pick winners.... remember failing to learn is learning to fail. Good Luck!!
