Kirby Zhang's Moneyline & Investments. Write-ups and picks for Friday August 21

[Kirby Zhang]

All Business Weekend

For most people the weekend is a time to reflect what you did over the week. "I hit on that girl, I got demoted, I lost my wallet"...etc.. But for most people it's also a time to enjoy their time, and relax. Ask anyone who ever bets sports, the weekend is our show time, and when College football, and NFL start it will really be show time. If you're doing this recreationally, lovely, but if you're doing this as a way of making a living pay attention, because it is about to get busier than the lunch slam at your local hot-spot. Let's Make some money. Now that my units are back up, we have some firing power, and tomorrow I plan to go small, get a feel of the week, and kill em over the weekend.

8. San Fransisco @ Cincinnati - San Fransisco (-130) ** Loss
   
9. Atlanta @ New York Mets - Atlanta (+124) Win +1
10. Florida @ Houston Over - 7.5 (even) Loss

I'm not trying to call you out or anything, but I'm just a little bit confused because you're winning money while I'm losing it.

[Kirby Zhang]

6-4 two game parlays.

[npl77]

Kirby hope you come up with a solid 2 team parlay. I feel like puttin the whole bankroll down one time

you gotta manage your money properly baby, doing that kind thing is never a good idea. there shouldn't ever be a BET OF THE DAY. that's terrible, Every bet is equal no matter how many under dogs are involved in them, and that is why I am up. I pick more winners than losers. don't put your whole bank roll on anything dude, bad management.

Good advice Kirby. I was thinking the same. If you don't utilize good money management you won't be succesful in this. WAGER IN UNITS!!!

[npl77]

my bankroll sucks man, gotta take a one time shot if you like something. Hit Phi/Tex today. Hopefully ill get through my one parley tomorrow then ill slow it down

if your bank roll sucks, build it up, I don't give a **** if its 20.00 build it up. What sucks more your $20.00 bankroll or NO bankroll. THINK. No one bet should determine how your day is going to swing.

[npl77]

Dont you sleep man? If this what you do? no working?

[baseballvz]

GL Kirby, i watched u picks at covers, you are great, nice job...

i'm with you on first 10, yeah

[dodger33]

No write ups today? haha i might roll with the houston game they scored 4 against the johnson and the marlins yesterday thats good enough for me. Just don't know if oswalt will show up.

[obamaismyuncle]

The price on Oswalt is too high........Arizona is the play and Arizona wins! You heard it here first!

[auditor654]

quick question:

If you were +6.78 units yesterday, went 7-5 overall, and posted these plays,

"Here is how I will be playing them tonight. each 2 team parlay will be for 2 units.

Minnesota @ Texas - Texas (-170) I took the better price, because I got it early.
Los Angeles Angels @ Cleveland - LA Angels (-145)

Boston @ Toronto - Boston (-170)
St. Louis @ San Diego - St. Louis (-160)

Florida @ Houston Over - 7.5 (even)
Atlanta @ New York Mets - Atlanta (+124)

Los Angeles Angels @ Cleveland - LA Angels (-145)
Arizona @ Philadelphia - Philadelphia (-175)"

and went 1-3 on these parlays, how can you be +24.09 units? PLEASE EXPLAIN your math.

[auditor654]

BTW, you said you went 6-4 on 2 game parlays yet you only posted those 4 and went 1-3.

[auditor654]

so are you saying you went 5-1 on parlays not posted?

[Nickelicious]

Nice win on your top pick, Kirby; a ML -191 winner.

Unfortunately, the next 9 picks in your confidence ranking all lost. Wow. 1-9 in your top 10. And 3-12 overall.

I know your rep, Kirby, and it seems to be good. Maybe this was just one of those days. You document your picks and you record your history, and that's all anyone can ask. But the quibbling I see in the previous posts gives me pause to wonder if you are hedging posted plays with unposted ones. You know, of course, that will NEVER do for an honest capper.

Losing 9 out of your top 10 picks is one thing. Shit happens. Fudging your history to pump your record is another. And you know the difference.

[Mikail]

Where you at Kirby?

[Kirby Zhang]

Holy crap guys, what a terrible day. for those of you who know me know I am pretty solid, just one of those days. Colorado lost their most important Pitcher to an injury. I can't believe the kinda of stuff that happened today. As are as how I calculate my units it's described in the report. I calculate them as SINGLE BETS. the parlays I posted are my suggestions on how to play them, but I don't count units on ANY parlays to clarify the math, last night I was +27 units I lost 10 units. My end of the day total was +6. something 17+6 do you understand?

[Kirby Zhang]

Anyway the power went out here in Houston, we are undergoing some mess with the weather, but I did just finish all the picks for tomorrow..

[Nickelicious]

Look forward to your picks tomorrow, K.

[Kirby Zhang]

5. Los Angeles Angels @ Toronto - Angels +109***
6. Seattle @ Cleveland - Cleveland -112***

Wow guys, can't say I've had a day this bad ever.. I guess I get my losses from Sam's Club because they come in bulk, Hope to do better tomorrow.

[Mikail]

What single bets do you have?

[Kirby Zhang]

Look forward to your picks tomorrow, K.

are you sure you don't hate me yet? lol Soooooo sorry about today.

[Kirby Zhang]

What single bets do you have?

The way I calculate my Units Plus or Minus is I add up the gains, and Losses and come up with a total, and add it to the total I curently am at. EVERY BET IN MY TOP TEN is calculated as a SINGLE BET. The parlays are my suggestion for extra value.

[Kirby Zhang]

I am already done with the picks, let me Post the EOD Report, and the new picks will be up
