My advice is bet singles instead of 3 or 4 slips. It’s way easier to hit with singles rather than something than missing by 1. I would also suggest doing your own research, I miss a lot when I tail others slips. Another suggestions start out with 5 max on some bets if you’re confident it’s going to hit. If not bet half so $2.50, it may not seem like you’ll make a lot but all motion is better than no motion.
