There were so many things wrong with that game. I'll take it, win is a win. I moved seats down to field level for the bottom of the 9th because I felt like I was being a jinx. Winner.Comment -
Re-tapping Darth Vader,
to those hitting it again.

Long as it's worth it, it's all good.
but hope you were able to use another out.
The process has him going 7 innings in every option with a couple going the distance. Might be worth some live action as well.

Hey TA...so on your 10 unit play on the Yankees....do you play like 1% of your roll per unit? So you are wagering 24% of your roll to win 10%?? Just wondering how I should be doing it too! THanks TAComment -
Yeah that makes sense JVP...but isn't someone only supposed to bet an absolute MAXIMUM of 5% on any one game? And I have also heard that one should only have a MAX of 15% of their roll on the line in any given day....
What do you think of that? I am NOT doubting TA at all....I just want to have the peace of mind that betting this much is what I should / could be doing!Comment -
From what I've learned in my short time in these forums is not necessarily that you should have that as a maximum on any one game. I've heard more that your unit size isn't supposed to be more than 1 or 2 percent. That being said, if you feel uncomfortable laying 24% to win 10% then you can adjust accordingly. I'm not sure about the 15% rule on any given day, I haven't heard of that before.
I'm comfortable playing this much really because of TA's past results. Given, his posted past results don't go too far back on these forums, but since he does this for a living he's got to be decent at it. Also I'm starting out with a relatively low bankroll and I'll hopefully have a higher unit size next baseball season to tail TA if he's so gracious as to post here next year. Like I said, though, I feel more than comfortable putting that much up. It would suck to lose the wager, but you're going to lose some and with TA's track record you'll make anything back that you lose. I hope I haven't rambled too much, but I'm kind of writing as I think, and my mind's going in three different directions right now.Comment -
In the thread somewhere in the past 3 to 5 pages, a poster asked me about unit amount. It has always been $100 for this thread this season as well as Two Minutes For Roughing (also posted here at SBR).
Comment -
No I do not. No it is not. Whatever the amount of your unit is, match the action and you should be one happy punter at season's end - Darth Vader was played to win 10 units.
Just match units JVP3122 and you should be pleased with the results.
Good evening jolmscheid,
One of the many things that separates myself from most others is to be a 'free thinker'. By this I mean I don't always follow conventional methods/thinking as I use a process that is successful for the season. You have to do what is comfortable & right for you. If you go read last season's
or 
thread you'd find a statement that is worth repeating here - find a way that works for you. It takes a while to develop one's process but once you do, it makes one's life much easier.
Thank you JVP3122 earning punters trust is something I take extremely serious. I know other threads here in which posters are making claims of ridiculous amounts in play (to each their own, I guess, but why?). Thank you for your kind words JVP3122.

i didn't have the balls to take the juice, so i played them in round robins at about $300 a pop.
all looking great. its not over yet, but great job again TA!

Thanks for your replies TA and JVP! So TA does this for a living I know so that is definitely some peace of mind for me! But wow TA, if you have a $100 unit then you are risking $2,400 tonight on the Yanks? Dang hopefully they win...But I am fricken jealous then because you are up over $18K on the season! Nice man.....well I agree with you that unconventional thinking is the way to go, so I will just suck it up and have 1% of my roll be a unit and follow you to profits TA....even if that means laying 15 units on a play!
Comment -
It's not an issue with me Gee and hope you cash on the RR's as well.
We got helped by an inning ending double play last time and this was in the third. This game is far from over.

You're welcome jolmscheid - I try to respond to any and all comments and/or questions towards myself but at times fail because of other obligations (church, civic and family). The amount at risk is slightly less than what you posted but close enough for government work. Find a way that works for you and stick to it - it does and will work but takes time to develop a safe & profitable method. Thank you. After each season the logs are reviewed to ensure accuracy but mostly to see if we missed anything. If both stand pat, the next step to to review the games and see what would happen if the weight was changed on some of the factors/filters and check the just finished season; if things are good it's time to back test the data. As you can see, the in season takes less time than the off season but I wouldn't have it any other way. Also, if your comment/question was missed, it's not intentional and if needs a response, send an e-mail to my screen name here "at" yahoo "dot" com and I will answer it. Let's finish the night on a good note.Thanks for your replies TA and JVP! So TA does this for a living I know so that is definitely some peace of mind for me!

Special thanks to Gee, they are greatly appreciated.
Comment -
Thanks TA! So last question! HA HA>....if I have a $1,500 bankroll...it is OK for me to Risk $15 per unit on your plays and it will be relatively safe and effective? Thanks again for all you do! Hopefully you keep posting for a very long time!Comment -
At $15 a unit, you would have 100 units to wager with. The question is, is that enough? At $10 a unit, you'd have 150 units. You've seen how things have gone (bad and good) and only you can determine that answer. Whatever you decise, I wish you success. Just remember, match units and don't increase the value the remainder of the season. If your roll drops to under $750, decrease you unit by 50% for the remainder of the season - even if your roll doubles. If the event the remaining amount goes down the crapper, sorry if this happens, but starting with a small like that amount is a tough thing at best. Can one increase their roll? Of course but they must be willing to take the risks to accomplish it.
Comment -
Yeah that makes a lot of sense TA! Thanks....so you don't re-calculate your roll until the end of the season? I have been re-calculating mine on the 1st of each month...that's prolly wrong huh!Comment -
This is just how I do things because, "it works for me". How things are done on this end, by keeping the same value of the unit, one can judge improvement (or not) from season to season.
I've known people who change the value of their unit after each wager. It works for them and no issues here.

yes "its my money" after all
nearly over now for a great day for us. i would seriously consider betting the house on MO not giving up 3 runs to KC, as long as the odds I get are better than interest
the way i see it is your win rate is phenomenal and i use that, your suggested number of units and whatever the line is to determine whether im comfortable with a bet and if not, i'll tweak it a bit.Comment -
Phew, that was a close one. They can't all be easy, though. Monster night, TA, thanks my man.Comment -
Now that my heart rate is getting back to normal - thanks TA - HUGE day! Re-Tap and all!Comment -
Great day terry!Comment -

Win by 1 or 100 JVP3122, unless there's
involved it's all good. You're welcome.
Glad you didn't end up at the hospital trojanman. On a more serious note, if anyone gets upset/angered/other term about a loss they were wagering over their comfort zone. You're welcome and do something nice for your family with a portion of the winnings.
You're welcome Sactown.
Thank you dodger33 and hope you had as well if not better day/night of action.Comment -
Nice night my man!Comment -
