i realize i shouldn't have bet on so many teams.. but i actually liked alot of the games

you are betting way too many games, limit the games to 1 or 3, and slightly increase your bet size

yea.. this isnt typical .. the number of games.
i realize thats a bit of a red flag.

I agree.. I'm mostly a dog better. usually stay away from betting on or against NYY for the most part.

It's just today man...dog day...it happens. Pick and choose wisely, don't bet every game, don't lay the huge chalk on favorites, and control your units.

Baseball is all about unit control and management. It's tough as hell, but have to stick to it.

I constantly find the games i bet on, innings are over in no time for my batters.. but when my teams pitching, its bases loaded and me saying WTF!

heres my disaster sheet today

NYY -1.5
STL
PIT
CHC -1 won!
ATL -1.5
MINesota -1.5
COL-1.5 gonna win
ARIzona -1.5
OAK
BAL -1.5

2 for 10...
man i suck - this is a bad day but .. most of my days haven't been great.

last year was steady profit, finishing over 200 units (100 units due to myself.)
maybe its just evening out

not only too many games, but why so many RLs? You're greatly reducing any chance of consistently winning, baseball is a sport with many 1 run wins... might as well start parlaying all of your plays.

As Steel suggested limit your plays to a few, increase your unit size if you feel necessary. But I generally have 1 parlay and about 2-3 Straight bets to offset any loss, and hedging those parlays when, or if necessary.

Thanks to all for your responses and advice.
will give them consideration.

oh
oddly as it turns out Oakland made a massive comeback... with 5 runs and the games still on.

lets see now....you bet Pettitte, Wainwright, Kennedy

decent pitchers with zero betting value

then you faded jap Iwakuma

Balty caught eveery break in Oakland and Britton =

disaster indeed..my condolences:/

now enjoy a swell pair of tatas by the pool......

Yup i agree for the most part.
I realize that NYY wasnt a value play.

Thought Baltimore bats would be hot .. against typicaly low scoring Seattle.
Thought oakland would be on fire from a huge rally, .. and that is still ongoing.. .17th inning.. dam!
