Oh man, the pressure is on.

Very few of my Friday trends applied today. I try my best every day to make the losses small, and the gains as big as possible. What do you guys think about those Phillies and Tigers? Florida and AZ I think were my friday plays and those are only half unit size. Lets hope today isn't a travesty

If you're feeling pressure for the day, it's a good sign - at least how I look at things but again, I don't look at things like most others. Your Fridays have been positive gains and are worth noting but it seems now you're trying to back peddle by scaling back to half unit. Grant it, wins are wins but if this is the case from 1(lo) to 10(hi) where would you rate the strength of the card? I still think if you go as listed, you'll grind it out and be unit positive. Far as DET goes, not feeling it tonight right now. If anything, again right now, looking at the

and

but am waiting on a phone call.

Good afternoon everyone.

Another "spectacular" 0 - 3 last night.

I knew to stay away when I didn't see things clearly, but I'll take the comfort in realizing to play half units.
( I did have a few other things going in the late action that broke me almost even, but didn't post to avoid the posting jinx I had going yesterday)

Don't worry M.S., I'm in the same red boat rowing right along with ya. We have to find the Black Sea eventually, right?
Hopefully this weekend is a repeat of the last, because mine was phenomenal and what pushed me over into posting.

Today, I like Boston (Penny has a good record over the last 3 years in Aug.) and Washington (I got no love for Looper, plus they are 7 - 17 last 24 vs Nats, while Nats are 5 -1 last 6 vs NL Central)

No circles yet, still

my card.

Good Job Buddy, keep the train moving in the right direction

No bother updating my record. Huge fail all over it like my whole season has been. Just a born loser.

Hey Mexi, this is an experience. We have all been there. We know how you're going thru, and it is a terrible gut wrenching feeling. For what it's worth, when you are in a losing trend, I try to reduce the amount of my bets (even going down to 1/10 of my usual unit). When things are going wrong, you begin making bad assessments, but eventually things will even out.

Best of luck to you, we are all here for you. Your friend. Foggy

Thank you Foghorn. We got things set up outside again tonight for a

roost Saturday and will be starting it about 2:30/3:00 this morning. A guy and his wife brought over a cord of wood for us which blew me away as I hadn't heard or seen him in 2 or 3 years. Tonight took a shot with the cowboys minus three and chiefs & vikings over thirty-seven; it's not my thing so fade and collect the easy coin.

Good evening obamaismyuncle,

Thank you for dropping in and for your comment.

with the one on one contest you are involved in. He's challenged damned near everyone in the forum but could only come up with $50 for a month, known to have not kept his word, etc and generally made himself to be one of the more disliked posters, not for his selections, but how he treats people. You're welcome back whenever the mood strikes ya.

NATS 112 0.5 U
RSOX 102 0.5 U

My 5 team parlay got killed last night by MLB, going to tap Nadal/Sharapova again for 1 U. Tennis is my #1 sport.

with your choices but I've got the Brew Crew tonight - don't worry it's all good as at least one of us will cash.

Pardon my ignorance but what type of success do you have with tennis? Do you flat bet it always and anything else you can think that would benefit others, feel free to add it as everything is welcome here - long as the majority of it is

Thanks TA! Yeah, I noticed you picked the Brew Crew. Good choice, up 2-0 already. Looks like that's a wrap. LOL.

Re: Tennis. My success varies from tourney to tourney. I am up approx. 12 U this year. I have a number of rules that I have established and follow over the years. I don't always flat bet, just depends on the situation. Parlays with the top 10 players hit at a very high %.

I understand about mostly baseball!

Good evening tongo,

This was covered within the last day or two, please go back and read/re-read those posts. People here have given you great hints too. You should be able to solve this mystery without much trouble. If after you've gone back through a couple days worth of posts and still can't find it, let someone know.

Game's in delay mode last I checked, came in and grabbed a buckets worth of cold ones for the folks out there and am catching the thread up.

Thanks for bringing your tennis skills in here. We do WNBA, MLB, t'breds in here once in a while but, it's mostly about
