For thread purposes I grade them all as one unit. I am a noobie when it comes to consistently winning at MLB so I am just trying this method for records sake. I have never won and went wire to wire in the MLB so i don't know what to think about this start other that it's early, very early. I have made some adjustments in the way I bet.My downfall in the past was to play big favs in MLB and chase them and i would lose get frustrated and quit.. On to fantasy baseball. Anyways, as i digress here I am looking to play ML+dogs and short priced favorites. My goal is to be a winner in this sport and then I can become a professional gambler
as I do well in football and basketblll. So far I am actually up +4439 in real dollars this MLB season and made nearly half of that yesterday. It's a good start, but I have tempered my expectations as it can't be this easy. After yesterday and liking the whole board today I decided to play $50 a game today.. I want to protect my profits and relax after the good start and not give it back.. I like to make it big but hate to give it back.
It has come from many years of experience and losing in the past.. In the past some of my biggest loses have come right behind my biggest wins. So whenever I do well in any sport I pull back a hair and don't push too much. I can't stand to give money back to the books. I don''t view it like I am playing with house money when I win. I view it as my money and I value it almost like I do my own children
. The 2K was Tampa Bay at home last Friday against Yanks. Vasquez Vs Price.. at +100ML and I just felt it, knew that bitch was going to work..final score 9-3 tampa. I get those keen feeling here and there and I pay attention to them and if I bet that amount I am in love with the play and feel it almost can't lose because I sure as hell don't want to lose that amount. I have made a few bets over 2K in the last year and have won all of them (6) of them.
I didn't write this to belittle or insult anybody else's methods. I did this for me. It's true I am a selfish person somewhat and want to reiterate to myslef what I do because losing is easier than winning. It's not about what others think it is for me to be succesful but I guess there are more way than one to skin a cat and we are all different. I simply was sharing my thoughts almost like a journal for my sake as I have no other outlet to express myself about gambling and what I feel about it. Sure, I have friends that play, but they are normal people.. which is to say.. they don't get it and will never get it. It took me 6 yrs to get it and I reuped and paid bookies most of the time by playing over my means and chasing silly shit just like an amatuer would do. Picking games wasn't my problem. I picked good enough as a complete no nothing but I had no plan or clue what the hell to do and I sure as hell didn't know how to control me. In gambling we are all our biggest enemies. If you can control and beat yourself over the long run you can't help but to win money.
50 bucks a bet.. Hit some nice ones lately and nothing I really love tonite. Been gone drinking on my boat all weekend
