    Pardon my ignorance...I know you don't like to spell it out for us...we're smart guys, right?! But I just want to clarify.

    Are you saying 2 units on CO to score 1st? Or is that 2 units on CO ML and you are also saying they score first?

      Just two units that CO will score first. Some books don't offer a play like this. I know Bookmaker does, but the Greek doesn't, for example.

        If I'm reading this correctly it's:

        2 units on Colorado to score 1st
        &
        1 unit on CO/LAD to score in the first inning

        Hope this helps!

            i always check page 1 of the thread regardless... TA usually plays ML and I know the totals symbols now, but none of the others to be confident of laying a minimum of $100 on a game without checking!

                Wednesday's log rolled out 2 winners and 3 burners.
                Congrats to those who cashed.
                Condolences to those who didn't.
                Siggy will be updated shortly.

                      Good evening faceCOVERS4me,

                      I deal with locals as well. To me, the wager is between the punter and out - that's it and nobody else. Worry not, I won't disappear because of this horrid night and have already begun working on games for Thursday. Thanks for the encouragement.

                        With you there TA. A bloodbath WILL at some point happen to all of us. So it is worth going over a few points here. Had a big loser myself today so I'll post up and you can add some words of wisdom to it 'cause I know you've been here before, and have safely come out of it. How do we do it?

                        Shit happens....buy yourself a drink, but don't go too far with it. If you messed up on step one and went too far , then don't pull a BUI (betting under the influence). Take a day off on the games, and find out what went wrong. If you followed your system to the tee that works long term then you probably just had bad luck, and that is a guaranteed thing. Possibly the worst time to completely readjust things; however, it offers an excellent opportunity to learn a few new things. Best though in general to lay off the foundation.

                        **Not saying I haven't drilled myself into the hole in the past; when you are young you can justify recklessness with having a lot of time left on earth; however, eventually that needs to be corrected. Still working on it myself
                        As always, I know TA will come out of this fine, and is still the hottest cash around...don't forget that. Pay attention to how a pro handles things guys.

I was burned as much as the next person, but its over and we move on...

                          Thanks TA for posting your plays, it is much appreciated and I apologize for this long time overdue appreciation post.

                          two cardinal losses very devastating but over the long haul we will get it back. we have profited recently and we will again. it may/will take some time but we'll get there. TA will show the way....starting with Thursday.

                          let's minimize losses this week and go from there....stick together in the thread.

                              A play is a play is a play. It happened to some of us with Texas last month and again with STL today. So now we know the Cards are still a**holes. I walked out of the book this morning with more than I gave them yesterday. Tommorrow I give some back with the same amount of certainty that I will prevail. Yea it's a "bad beat", but those happen sometimes, just make sure you're prepared for the long haul and can withstand some of these, cause it's pretty certain you'll get it all back in spades if you stay with it, filter out the BS and hype and keep learning that this is all part of the process. And if you look hard enough, there is plenty of success to be had in here each and every day. Money can't buy what some of the people in this and other threads are freely giving - experience, a free exchange of ideas on a common theme, and fellowship. Gonna enjoy getting it all back and then some.

                                First off...this is not about previous posts...i have moved on from that....I am commenting about my observations with this system..this system plays too much chaulk...too many units on heavy chaulk as well....there is no 'value' in playing -180..-200 favorites...baseball more than any other sport is about value...you have to win 2 out of three of these to break even..(if the bets are for the same money)It is about return of investment not winning percentage..58% looks good +139 units ??? not too good...This system does not take into account important variables such as line movement,umpires,starting lineups, streaks,streakb usters etc,pitching scratches do not see very many +120,+130 etc dogs do you ???? This poster lost a substantial bet ????on the tigers a few weeks ago, and proceeded to ride the tigers into the "ditch" losing 6 of the next 7......do you really believe his system...had the tigers 7 straight days?????????? c'mon....i appreicate his honesty and putting himself out there as i have stated before......but banging your head against the wall for +129 units...you need deep pockets to play this chaulk yet he states you should not "cherrypick." riding the chaulk" is death for your bankroll....for all the newbees out there and a few friends I have in here.......at least "stay away' fron that big chaulk...if you must play the games with low 'juice......look around read forums...like i have for years...see if what i say is true, i have almost 40 years for sportsbetting experience...I "KNOW" what I am talking about.....Good LUCK....

                                    Are you kidding, JR007? If you guaranteed me that every season in MLB I would be up 139 units at the end of the season I'd take it in a heartbeat. If you're using $100 units you're talking a return of just under 14 grand. If that's the case then something TA's doing must be right.

                                      We have lost a couple of huge favs this season but even after this the record is still amazing. if you tailed from day one you should be way up. Unfortunately, for some of us (including myself) the tailing has started at some point of the season and then those huge losses will take their toll.

                                      Anayway I am certain that even after such terrible days the system will bounce back big time as it has many times before.

                                        Good morning therber2,

                                        It happens now & then but under the guidelines of the process, we survive and move forward. Stick with works for you is the best advise I can give you.

                                        BUI is one of the worst things a person can do, unless they have already capped the action and have it written down. It's one thing to have a pop or two during card play, races or a game but to get faced is not to intelligent. How things are done here, you know seasonal adjustments aren't made until AFTER the season is complete and then after several seasons of back testing.

                                        Thank you and the remainder of the season.

                                          You're right trojanman. Stuff happens for a reason and we survive the direct hit and move forward - the goal is the number at the end of the season.

                                              Haven't been posting much and just following enough to be on Terry's plays, although a lot of what you say is sound advice and I have read/heard some of it before, how do you argure with +139 unit return thus far in the season??????

                                              Who cares if he's betting -400's all day long, if he's getting a good return, I don't understand how you can knock the system.

                                              I think a lot of what you say is true but how can you argue with success, and success in sports betting is the BOTTOM LINE and his BOTTOM LINE is +139 units this year.

                                                Don't hate because the process wins, sir. You have zero ideas on what is included with the weight each factor has for it. Good luck to you in the future with your action.

                                                  Bad beat on the Cards, I was on them yesterday before I saw TA's picks and then when I saw them I threw a whole bunch more on them. Haven't had one hurt that bad in a while.

                                                  But, I am down but certainly not out.

                                                  Even with the big money lost, I didn't bet over my head.

                                                  I'm still up for the year.

                                                  We move on, looking for a winning day

                                                      Hi TA,

                                                      Do you have an opinion on Cubs vs Padres? I am leaning cubs because Padres have never swept the Cubs, Zambrano will have a point to prove and I just think sweeps are so hard to get. I know Cubs are terrible but any thoughts? Thank you for your time if you get a chance to respond.

                                                        +139 units sounds very good to me

                                                        Thank you and yes +139 units is good.

If you guaranteed me that every season in MLB I would be up 139 units at the end of the season I'd take it in a heartbeat. If you're using $100 units you're talking a return of just under 14 grand. If that's the case then something TA's doing must be right.
                                                        Thank you JVP3122. I let the results speak for myself.

Unfortunately, for some of us (including myself) the tailing has started at some point of the season and then those huge losses will take their toll.

                                                        Anayway I am certain that even after such terrible days the system will bounce back big time as it has many times before.

                                                            There is no hate here, yes +139 units is good if you have a "revolving account" most due not...you either see your local when the week is over or reup when the money runs out.......FYI daily lineups get posted fairly close to game time...I neglected weather as another factor..rest of star players on getaway days ...you would have to constantly "tweak" this system daily. I suspect that this system is some type of power ratings system...(reflects the past rather than the present) read the "dunkel index" for the pros and cons...you lose 1,500 or 1,700..0 on one or two plays you have to string together a winning streak to break even......then you have greed factor when you win..."I am playing with their money ,double down etc....this system is not for the 50.00 ,100.00 bettor.....guys have lost marriages and homes chasing chalk......

                                                                Even with the big money lost, I didn't bet over my head.

                                                                I'm still up for the year.

                                                                We move on, looking for a winning day
                                                                AW has been a solid money maker this season and although it did not pan out for us it did not break us.

                                                                That is exactly the correct thing to do - stay in one's comfort zone.

                                                                As am I and several others.

                                                                Do you have an opinion on Cubs vs Padres? I am leaning cubs because Padres have never swept the Cubs, Zambrano will have a point to prove and I just think sweeps are so hard to get. I know Cubs are terrible but any thoughts? Thank you for your time if you get a chance to respond.
                                                                Good afternoon Kobe24,

                                                                    If you lose and want a loan to pay everyone back at one time, let me know via this post. Simple interest of 10% to be repaid at 6 SBR points a day until paid in full.

                                                                    I'm in for that. Because I'd like to do this again today. Its fun. I'll take the loan...but can you loan me a little extra. I want to do this again today.

                                                                    Makes for a fun thing.

                                                                      Here is JR007's quote,
                                                                      There is no hate here, yes +139 units is good if you have a "revolving account" most due not...you either see your local when the week is over or reup when the money runs out.......FYI daily lineups get posted fairly close to game time...I neglected weather as another factor..rest of star players on getaway days ...you would have to constantly "tweak" this system daily. I suspect that this system is some type of power ratings system...(reflects the past rather than the present) read the "dunkel index" for the pros and cons...you lose 1,500 or 1,700..0 on one or two plays you have to string together a winning streak to break even......then you have greed factor when you win..."I am playing with their money ,double down etc....this system is not for the 50.00 ,100.00 bettor.....guys have lost marriages and homes chasing chalk
                                                                      So you're trying to spin it that it's not wise to play with on-line books? I don't know about your local, or others, but we have a great working relationship - I've gone collecting with him and help him lay off bad lopsided action on-line and as such get good lines and other benefits.

                                                                      Again, you presume to know how the process works and the weight each factor has upon it when the truth of the matter is, you don't. Tell me, what percentage does a batter's last 3, 5, 10 and 25 at bats verses the pitcher he's facing today have? Or how about, the effect of ballpark conditions (sunny, partly cloudy, muggy, light rain, moderate downpour, wind from the east/west/south/north, etc) have on the filter? This is why/the proof you don't know how I do things, so stop trying to act like you do.

                                                                      You're "brilliant" when you say this, "... .you lose 1,500 or 1,700..0 on one or two plays you have to string together a winning streak to break even. ..." Now I'm not the smartest person in the room, but isn't winning measured in dollar amounts and the more wins you get/have the higher your amount, generally speaking, is? Breaking even is not an option on this end - it's about grinding out profits for the season.

                                                                      There is no greed on this end, sir. The process determines the selection type of action and amount of action. One thing I'll agree with you upon is that greed is a bad thing and will hurt punters rolls.

                                                                      Are you trying to say people with a $50 or $100 unit aren't making money? As of now per this thread the $100 punter in up nearly $14,000 while the $50 player is up about $7,000. What you fail to realize, and this is bothersome since you stated you've got 40+ years into this, is the amount of each person's unit does not matter, for they are up for the season.

                                                                      Now, for the last time I will ask to keep the drama out of this thread. Thank you for you co-operation and have a nice day.
