Congrats on an excellent day!Perhaps my best day yet. Sad thing is I don't know what the hell I'm doing with NFL now.
12-1 +12.97 units
I do not know what the heck happened here... I did get an unwarranted "speeding" ticket from the boys in blue making their quotas so maybe my Karma is good.
I swear this country is feeling more and more like Russia every day. Anyone hear about the new $3 tax on hard booze, and possibly beer for Cook County (I don't know where else)? What next? This one will be in by the end of the month....joy.
I have another large bet on the Broncos +3 NFL I'm watching for about 4 units. Let's see if that cashes; not looking great though.

shoebox,
Anyone who had read this forum knows you got solid stuff. You hit a stretch when things turned sour for a while, but you rode it out and continue add to your tally. Don't become obsessed with needing 'x' number of units to the good for a season to be considered successful. Looking forward to reading what you have for today.

Glad you ended positive as it could be the start of a nice long streak.
Good luck with it.
67% for the day is great! WAY TO GO!! Glad to help out.
Let's continue the winning days streak.
Foghorn once again thanks for your write-up.Good Day Everyone, went to church, picked up some chicken and leaving shortly for another summer, family re-union.
Baltimore @ Chicago:
Baltimore:
Orioles won first game of this series, but they are 20-42 on the road, so they have their one road win. Berken throwing today and he is 1-5 on the road with an ERA of 8.39 and a WHIP of 1.75. They are 2-6 in their last 8 and are hitting .212 vs lefties in their last 10.
Chicago:
Buehrle is 0-1 in his last 3, and since his "perfect game", he hasn't won a game. However, he has a great home record. The Sox are 3-2 in their current home stand.
PICK: Sox (1 unit)
Record: 42-26-2 (+29 units)
Have a great Sunday, I hope to be back later today for more, sorry I missed your picks..............
Hope all seven cash for you, if not all of them, then a combination that will keep you above water for the day.

Thank you MexicanStallion and yes there was a brutal day in the mix (1-8-0). You will, long as you keep trying. Let's cash many tickets today.

TA, great week! Keep up the good work sir.Comment -
I only circled ARIZ, SAN D and CLV. Again, a negative day. Think I may need to go back to drawing board with MLB. I'm stunned by the results this week, a real downer.
Today looking at ROX, JAYS, RAYS, TIGERS and RSOX.

Great job all around guys, I'm glad my mojo is not affecting anyone, unless you are fading me, which at this point seems like a good idea.
GOOD LUCK TODAY FELLAS.Comment -

We match up on SF. I had a lean on AZ, but looked at your play too late to put some weight on it.

Public Service Announcement
Those who know me will realize I call it like it is. It's direct and not always pretty but needs to be stated. Yesterday there was a newbie posting in here making claims for a high win rate, and posted "their" play. I asked them not to do that here unless the selection was there own because to me, what he was doing wasn't right. Another thread was made in the baseball section - fine no issue nor problem - but when I read it another poster who read his post in here called him about an inaccurate record it got my attention. The newbie/shill/partner or owner of that site put out their spin on it. It didn't pass the 'smell test' here and after doing my own research, the site he's pimping has only "gone public" since the 13th of this month and given away ten free M.L.B. games - nine of which were favorites with an average line of -142.222. The newbie joined just shortly before the site "went public". Strange how that worked out, huh? Everyone here is an adult and has to make up their own mind all I'm saying is be very careful if you even go that route as I've seen these types of posts before and the funny thing is the majority of them pop-up right before football begins. Others have contacted me and/or posted about the situation as well. That being stated, let's get back to what we do best.

I don't even know what to say about this
. You are incredible. Any idea how well these plays have been doing?
Good luck with the rest. Obviously I am on the other side with the Astros. I will glady take that lost though with the exchange of a 6-1 day for me

It looks like you have CO, I think.
Avatar has NOTHING to do with wins/loses - although sometimes we might think it does.
A few things I've done while losing is cut back the number of plays (removing all parlays/teasers/etc), amounts on games or put the peddle to the metal and bang it until you get the desired result.

Thank you but I've had weeks 180 degree from this past one.
Now, that wouldn't be any fun for you, would it?
One game at time. Get the first win for the day. Stay positive about yourself, family life, and wagers. You will succeed.I only circled ARIZ, SAN D and CLV. Again, a negative day. Think I may need to go back to drawing board with MLB. I'm stunned by the results this week, a real downer.

I hear ya, TA. I'm an ultra superstitious guy, that's all. Karma and all.Avatar has NOTHING to do with wins/loses - although sometimes we might think it does.
A few things I've done while losing is cut back the number of plays (removing all parlays/teasers/etc), amounts on games or put the peddle to the metal and bang it until you get the desired result. Part of "changing things up" around here.
Thanks for the insight, you know I appreciate it. I've only had 2 or 3 plays going a day, in MLB. Should I scale it down to one? I think part of the issue is unit management, but until things start evening out or at least changing course, I just can't seem to do that. I mean 5 - 12 and 1 in the last 7, is not encouraging me to bump them up.
Again, thanks for the time and input.

Good afternoon MexicanStallion,
Thank you. They come from putting in the time to record certain stats daily and crunching the numbers (putting them in the formula used). Off hand, I could not tell the win rate or units up but I know they have a positive return. This sounds like a good project for my boys when they both mess-up together, don't worry it doesn't take them long.
Thank you but I'd rather see you go 7-0.

OK, Sir. So, I'm going to just play Jays today. Staying away from the rest, especially with you being on the opposite end of my Rox choice. Thanks, TA.

This may seem odd/weird to you both since you mentioned you're ultra superstitious, first thing to do is break/stop the routine you are doing/using because "it's not working". Second, use this thread for one of it's hidden assets by taking plays that the core agree upon and using them to re-build your account one brick at a time while keeping your unit in the same ratio. Three, it could be you need to take some time off to clear your mind and decompress your body - professional one hour message might be what's needed to re-energize you. Lastly, if you continue with your selections, you should scale back the unit to 50% of it's current value. If one is doing a death spiral, better to go slowly than lose it all but it will keep you in the game longer giving you another chance the next day.

Not at all. You are right, change is in order. Perhaps some time off, as I suspected earlier, may be what I need.$KARMA$,
