capone - i actually spent a very long time today thinking about your op. It's been an up and down couple of weeks netting just about $900 over that time. I just woke up this morning with no desire to micro manage my bankroll today. I knew who i liked, i even knew that they might miss. I walked the dogs and thought about it some more - thinking that urge to just dump my bankroll and make some cash would go away. It didn't go away.
So your thought of "you need to hit them hard and pull out." is precisely what i did. Not the entire bankroll, but way, way, waaaaay more than i ever would put on game that have even a 15% chance of missing. I'll micro manage my way through cfb and the nfl. I'd rather not list the amounts, but i will say that between the below plays, there is over $900 at risk. It was almost like i was trying to fade my own picks, talking myself out of not only the picks but the amount, i lined up the picks, just to see how it looked...who knows why i did that...i know what the payout is; maybe i just wanted to see it. Then.... I hit that magic button. Confirm. Bam, done. Walked away. It may feel good now, but it may hurt so bad later. We'll find out tonight and then it's back to micro managing my bankroll and finding value in a pick. At least i knew better than to setup a parlay with the sox in the mix. All straights.
Ok - everyone can yell at me now and tell me why the below is all wrong and i've just lost a large amount of money.
It does feel nice for the moment though.
Nyy rl -1.5
bal o - ml
white sox - just had a feeling, although that's probably the most risky.
I'm stealing your phrase for the night - "you need to hit them hard and pull out."
gl tonight everyone
