ITS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES MANY WAYS there is no such think as a LOCK !!! The problem is you bet more than you would when you see things like lock of the week or lock of the year . So it hurts when it goes down but when I FIRST JOINED PRE- GAME I QUESTIONED this because in one month I saw 10 locks of the year posted on the boards . I was told get used to it because it was a WAY to generate people to there posts and get them to buy there picks . So if you all know that then its buyer beware but its also money management !! BETTING over 50% of your bankroll on any PICK is not the way to mange your money . You should never bet more than you can afford to lose Ive had clients tell me ROCK i got to have a winner IVE lost my rent money and need a winner . IF your doing this your a gambler on the edge and that is not the way . IF your like this then your going to buy GOY all the time . If your betting money to buy the baby a new pair of shoes you are better off taking that money and putting it in a college savings fund NOW THATS A LOCK OF THE YEAR FOR YOU .
