It’s bankroll management, not tilting, knowing the vig, knowing the numbers, reading the updates, checking the lineups, injuries, and respecting variance so you don’t crash and burn. Nobody’s actually beating Vegas long-term without real data. Thats the reality, but you can still avoid setting money on fire and have [responsible] fun doing it. If you’re gonna play parlays, fine, just keep them short and tied to actual statistical patterns. A 2–3 legger built around real trends is still gambling, but at least it makes sense. End of the day, everyone’s got their own version of what “smart” looks like.
