    I don't update how much I am down very often. This strategy is a very long one. It could be 2 months before a resolution. So, I find it pointless to always advertise how much I am down.

    As of right now, I am down 1.54 units, but if I lose my "C" bet, I will be down 7.55 units.

    The strategy is pretty easy to understand just read post #1. It should come to you in time.

    April 27

    Parlay 24-C: Brewers with Marlins OVER 7.5 (6.01 to win 17.61) +293 -- This will give me more than enough to reach my goal.


    The Mets have averaged 4.4 runs in the last 5 games. The Marlins have averaged 6.4 runs in the last 5 games. Neither pitcher is all that great. 7.5 seems very nice here.

    I know the Brewers have been awful, but they shouldn't be this bad. Nelson has been doing great and Marquis is well below average. Nelson has a 1.35 ERA -- 0.70 WHIP -- .161 BAA this season. The Brewers put up 6 last game. Maybe they will do that again against a pretty bad pitcher and a hitter friendly ballpark. +110 sounds real nice.

    Looking like dead on both accounts. Sometimes it works in your favor that you parlayed as it minimizes risk. We'll get em next time

    It is hard on the psyche to keep erroneous assumptions out of the equation when you select which games to bet. My strategy here is to string 3 parlays together in close succession. I need to follow the "hot" trends. Sometimes those trends go against my common logic.

    I really wanted to go with the Astros with the Astros OVER again. We will see what happens, but that is what I should've gone with. I thought no, not this match up. It seems I get stuck thinking something should happen. I need to stick with trends. It's tough.

    ridiculously close to having TWO seats in the "nothing to lose/everything to win" round...thanks Braves

    but the Astros single-handedly take care of bidness for 'da good guyz...and give Keel at least one of the 'B' tickets he earned

    Thanks for everyone's support and patience for whoever follows along. I need to be extra smart/careful with this "C" bet. I want to close this out. I like to close out 1 per month if I can.

    Parlay 26-C: Tigers with Astros (6.08 to win 17.51) -- +288 This still gives me enough to reach my goal


    I have to take the Astros. They got me here. There is no thought about it.

    The Tigers are a little more "hot" right now than the Royals. Duffy is 1-6 against the Tigers and has not been lights out so far this year. Simon has been lights out so far this year. It is kind of close with this match up, but I need a small dog. I think the Tigers should've been the small favorite. I hope the Tigers offense gets me the win.

    In the NBA, I went 62 attempts, then later on, it went to 70. I was almost out of money. Baseball is a bigger payout, which means slower chase. It could go to 90. I don't want that of course, but baseball teams are streaky. All I have to do is have faith in that and pull the trigger.

    *I should have won by now with the Astros alone.

    Keel buddy I'm just now catching up on your thread. I think we've talked about this before but have you thought about using open parlay for some of these bets? I know it's easier said than done since we are inherently gamblers and like daily outcomes. You are very patient so I could see you doing this and improving your chances.

    Or would you consider cross-sport parlays for example MLB & NBA or MLB & NHL etc...

    Yes. I have considered it, but I just like to keep things focused. Anybody can do whatever they want. I supply the money management. You can have your own picks. I do appreciate followers, however.

    Pressing straight bets is about the exact same as a parlay.

    I don't think my book offers open parlays, but indeed that would work great. You know sometimes I don't think I am patient enough. I need to find just the right plays even if it means skipping a day.
