    I'm done fellows....

    It doesn't matter anymore. I cap the games, get the best line, get the worst line, bet the dogs, bet the chalk, follow the trends, follow the steam, bet the sharp side, bet the square side, over/unders, bad beats, bullpens, comebacks, etc....

    You could give me tomorrow's paper and I still wouldn't be able to get the picks right.

    Take care fellows.....

    Everyone slumps. Maybe tomorrow is the day that you start rallying. If you are officially quitting, then I wish you the best of luck.

    At times, BB, I think you make this much more complex than it actually is. I know you're frustrated and I know what that's like. Betting baseball is a six month grind and its not easy...

    If you are done, my friend, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you return for football season. Until then...GO BREW CREW!

    Just shake it off BB. We all go through these type of things. I'm sure you will break out of it sooner then later.

    Did you get burned on one or a few games recently BB? Which ones were they? Did you bet too much on a game you loved? Or were they bad beats?

    I myself was on the wrong side of all the bad beats from Thursday. I had the Mets and Dodgers, both parlayed with the under, to give you an idea.

    But these things happen, that's why money management is so key. Hope you're doing ok.

    The true measure of a man is how he handles defeat.

    Yes. But it shows that he has the discipline to quit while he is losing instead of going down even more trying to make it back.

    Trying to pick winners in baseball is like trying to pick wild mushrooms. The mushrooms may be poisonous or you may get poison ivy trying to find them. Most of the games are a toss up. Stay away to limit your losses till football season.

    Thursday i go 3-3.....lose with NYM blowing a lead in the 9th, lose with ARIZ blowing a lead in the 9th....both 1st place teams....lose with WASH giving up the game winning run in the 9th. Last night....lose with DET getting a very strong effort from Durbin who normally gets shelled, lose with STL blowing a 4 run lead.....

    I mean i am still up for the year but it's just taking its toll on me.

    Buddy this shit will take its toll on your mental and physical health. I have high blood pressure and everyone here will concur that I am a little nuts. After today's big bet on Minni I'm taking one week off to recover. I will spend one week in solitude camping. This is my last post for a week. Good luck on your plays, boys. Go Minni!

    Just do what I do and only play the underdogs you like.

    Hit 50% and you make a profit. Its worked very well for me so far this season...
