GOLDENGREEK's 2011 MLB SEASON LONG THREAD

[drfunkmaster]

dirkules!!!!

[boondoggle]

not hating.. but damn, talk about luck.. started yesterday and down almost 100 units in 24 hrs glad i started pretty small

Yeah, the high water mark is here...I am out. I bet small tonight and thus lost very little compared to many. With the sportsbook raids earlier today coupled with GG having horrible run last couple days---I am cashing out with nice profit. Enjoy boys.

[Full Time Hobo]

Rough patch last 2 days.
Variance?

[joco]

all i have to say is wow...terrible night. i never expected okc to kill the rest of my bankroll after being up the entire game

[DirkIsDirty]

My boy went off! I know everyone was on okc but mavs are sick! Sorry about the loss gg! I know you will bounce back Tom!

[GGZOLA]

guys, I know lots of people lost money, but please, understand this thread does not have 143 pages for shitts and giggles, especially newcomers. Do not criticize someone for losing. It was that kinda night. Play small units is my suggestion if you cannot stomach these losses. I am playing $10/unit still anxious/nervous each game, but surely takes some sting out on night like this. This night couldve easily swung to a huuuge +++, yes it didnt, but I highly doubt 2-3 bad days means its the end here. Stick around I think u will enjoy rewards, just dont blow all on a day or two. take it from me took me an infinite amount of losses to realize it is a grind. We are lucky enough to have a poster up 400 units in bases, let one bad night be...

I take it, "Money management" is not in your vocabulary.

[The Sensei]

[joco]

last week alone i was up 53 units. the week started today and between red sox dodgers and okc im down 35. just left a bad taste in my mouth the way it went down. its called overexaggeration. im still up for the baseball season for ur info.

and hoff did u honestly just post for ur first time to talk shit? ill rooster slap u if ur bout disrespect

such a loser!

[dlunc3]

idk, cant blame the guy, esp if he just started... I know i just started tailing, and lost 68 units tonight following GG... its tough when you just jump in now and have no profit to back it up.

Yea, I started with just $15 units, and lost $1015 tonight... ugly stuff.. im sure he will turn it around

i jumped in two weeks ago and gg was on fire. dont judge by the last 2 days alone itll get better

[vinnydevitz]

IM SO ANGRY Im usually not a sore loser but the Under last night and OKC tonight were TWO REALLY BAD BEATS also had big plays on the Bruins when they were up 3-0 on saturday and ended up losing.... GG i think your on tilt and pressing with these 20* bombs every night know your probably gonna have a 20* on the Bulls tommorow and i dont know if ill follow after these couple of debocles

[JJV]

unbelievable the mavs go on a 17-2 run to tie the game forcing OT then win the game, CRAZY!!!

[king9]

Yea, I started with just $15 units, and lost $1015 tonight... ugly stuff.. im sure he will turn it around

he is just going to keep chasing the same teams for huge amounts, its what he's done in both series so far. if he's down 90* in 2 days, i can imagine how much his chase on the bulls will be tomorrow, if he even shows up

[chevy6]

this is me for the past 30 mins yo f m l ahhhhhh dammitttttttttttt

[atofsu32111]

tilt means to chase losses and overbet. I have never seen you make 3 10 unit bets on baseball. Was fishy to me. I took easiest play of night under STL

[ponyshowdown]

Thanx for your input. Now GTFO.

[Greekster]

lol how is he chasing? he is up overall.

He took some bad beats tonight, if the bullpens held like they should have and if OKC closed it out like the should have, would have won pretty big tonight.

Just bad luck at the end of some good picks.

[boondoggle]

and when you did not think it could get any worse....STL just scored 2 runs to take lead over SAN in top 9th.

[dlunc3]

good luck boys... ventured out for a few nights... cant handle its..now back to the bread and butter grinding... Ill leave these roller coaster rides to you guys! best of luck the rest of the season.. hopefully ill see you guys double the +400 units by the end of summer

[Cross]

what books are getting shut down, should we all be worried that our offshore of choice will get shut down?

[doogtonmai]

i jumped in two weeks ago and gg was on fire. dont judge by the last 2 days alone itll get better

ROFL to all the quitters! Timing is everything. I started April 2nd following every game GG and another hockey thread and here are my results: NBA -16.00 MLB +165.33 NHL +33.71 Total: +183.04 and $448.40 playing $2.50 per unit...the two months prior GG was up probably double than those figures. The quitters remind me of the investors who buy high and sell low. This is the time to stick with it and grind it out till the end of the year. If you lose money? So what...you shouldn't be gambling with money you cannot afford to lose. However, if you're up probably better than any money you would try to make on your own gambling. Believe you me, GG is probably at the bar throwing chairs right now. He wants us to make money, and I would bet he comes on this thread with an apology and frustration, which he doesn't have to do either. He does a good service for us bottom line. If you are using this thread and cannot admit you've lost money on your own, then you are full of it. It's just so much easier to blame someone else instead of yourself, right? Give GG some respect! Manage your money and stick with the system, and you'll come out ahead in the long run.

[MoneyLineDawg]

I don't ride GG, but I have followed his plays for a long time now and the guy is MONEY......I'm doing pretty decent myself, but I wish I had tailed him on every pick since joining SBR, as I would be swimming in a pool of money by now. Just keep riding it out, and use money management.....you'll be alright

[drfunkmaster]

Yea, I started with just $15 units, and lost $1015 tonight... ugly stuff.. im sure he will turn it around

thats why you cant follow blindly, play smaller units... remeber over long run it all evens out... but tough loss today. He will have a winning day tomorrrow..

[RockChalkRK]

been follow the greek for some time now and the dude is golden like his name states. all the haters on here kill me. he got "thunderfukked" out of his mind tonight and some bullpens been blowin late saves (alot on his plays of late) but shit happens sometimes. stay golden, greek, know i'll be stickin by ya all season long.

[drfunkmaster]

Thunderfuvcked!!!

[chinoloco212]

I agree with everyone, Greek was on the right sides tonite, i have no idea wth happened to the thunder, two of his unders shudve hit, valverde gave up 2 late runs, and washingtons bullpen cudnt hold either. Lets get it back tom

[ManBearPig]

It's risk vs reward. It's up to you to ask yourself if it's worth the risk to make the amount of plays for the number of units that GG plays. If you play a larger number of games you are risking exposing yourself to potential losses. GG plays a lot of plays so his risk is high but the potential reward is high as well. On the reverse SJ plays few plays so his risk is low, but he still has a high reward because he wins at a high rate, although he bets $1k a game or something so if you play under $500 it's probably going to be less profitable to follow him because most aren't going to obtain their desired profit playing 3-5x/week.

So if you're second guessing or blaming you need to rethink how you want to play and what your approach is because you're costing yourself money by not having a plan or a goal. I know because I've made a lot of these errors. If you can't handle the risk involved then you probably aren't cut out. When following someone you have to not only look at their record, but you need to take into consideration their losses and how they lose.

Today there were some beats that you can't cap. OKC blowing a 15 pt lead in final 4...you can't cap. They controlled the game from the tip and were the right play...DAL backers are sitting pretty acting like they made a great call, but they got a lucky break. While OKC backers got a bad beat. To put it another way, if I'm playing BJ and hit on 16 vs a 10 and get a 5, I'm happy because my risk paid off, if I get a 10 and lose I'm not happy but I know I made the right play and except it. If I do the same vs a 6 and get a 5 or 10, who cares, it was a bad bet anyways because I'm unnecessarily exposed to a potential loss and won't win long-term anyways playing like that. A lot of people fall in that category and GG or SJ isn't one of them. That's why you follow them.

Moral of the story except the good with the bad if you can't except it then you probably made a bad bet anyways and deserved to lose.

time to take a break

Well put. I went from bein up 432 to up 22 in a matter of 45 sec. or so on two games. but one game, the stros, came the other way for me. so all and all, up on the day. GG is goin strong tomorrow!

[Double Bogey]

Thunderfvcked in the ass, painful. But tomorrow is another day
