Mex keep your head up bud. It's gambling.Comment -
Mex relax guy we all go thru slumps and the only way we get out of them is by playing, we cant second guess ourselves after some losses and say we cant win anymore. This can be a roller coaster ride now relax and get back on top of that hill.

Fade Alert
February 10th
Hornets +5 (-105)
5.25 to win 5.00Comment -
Mex lots of guys with you in good or bad, one can never go wrong in tailing you, LB and L_crazy looking long term. Keep your head up, won't be long till you'll be where you belong. At the top!!! BOL to all.Comment -
interesting, any reasons why MEX ur on NOH. I know they play better at home and the new kid is filling out quite well for Chris Paul, but still... I think BOS will have to blow out a team eventually one of these days and this is a good spot. Then again, Ive learned to never bet against you haha.Comment -
I've already backed this, I hope that the Fade Alert is wrong as I thought that this was one of the best bets of the night.Comment -
Wow I must of missed a lot the last few days. You've lost all of your confidence in .1 of the time it took you to build it. Keep your head up and keep up the good work, we all lose sometimes.Comment -
Mex, will you still be posting to twitter?Comment -
Quitting's for pussies Mex, unless of course you're in a deep hole...Which I'm sure you're not. Now stop with the pity bullshit, get your head on straight & pick the FUKKING winners like you do amigo!!Comment -
well said BroccComment -
I like this NOH pick tonight i think its a good spot for emComment -
NOH seems to risky imo, utah and raptors are my choice, good luck mexComment -
Why? Because you're on a losing streak? How many years have you been gambling? Is this the first time you've ever lost? Are you all of a sudden a bad handicapper?
I'm currently on a 7 month losing streak. You kids have no idea what this business is really like...no idea whatsoever.
You lose a couple of days and you think the world is coming to an end.
If you're any good at all, just suck it up and plow forward. If you're a bad handicapper then you were just lucky to begin with and the cards are now breaking even.
I am constantly amazed how people think they are never supposed to have a downturn. It just shows me that they haven't been around very long.
If you want an example look at lakerboy. He's down 23 units in the last 22 days, but he just keeps plowing forward.
Is Lakerboy a perfect handicapper. No. He makes mistakes like everyone else. He'll over bet once and a while and chase here and there, but on average he sticks to his plan and he understands variance.
But most importantly, he has extreme confidence in what he is doing.
He is someone you can learn from.Comment -
Tgoat...Where r u posting these days ? Do you not have a thread of your own ? I miss your picks Bruvva... The world needs the Goat back !Comment -
Mexi, I'm down 100% of my bankroll last day, about 33% of my initial year deposit. I know it doesn't help you at the moment, but just to let you know if you ever start posting again I will be the first to follow."I have never seen a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A little bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough, without ever having felt sorry for itself."

I would gladly take a unit dropped each day for 3 weeks time. That is much better than I have been doing in the past 3-4 days.Originally posted by TGoat;316****
If you had read earlier then you would realize what I was saying. I worded it poorly and just meant I am done posting in general. Just going to get the few posts for points and be done with the forum for the day.
I will just post my fade material and grade it and then move on to the next day while running my book for a little while.Comment -
Hornets win straight up. I liked them winning straight up, but after the countless losses there was no reason to possibly throw away more money.

You're way to hard on yourself brutha.
Total: 39-24-2 (+38.52 Units)
Anyone with that sort of record for the year obviously is doing well. You just hit a shit streak like we all do where it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If anyone should give up, it'd be me - 7-14 in tennis, maybe 3-9 since restarting college hoops, now that my friend is some crap. Keep plugging along.

Don't forget that LB had some pretty bad days along the way (counting football). Such as:
1-19 -17 Units
1-23 -22 Units
1-24 -23 Units (Can you match this unit wise for back to back days? -47 Units!)
1-27 - 16 Units
2-1 -15 Units
2-3 - 12 Units
2-5 -12 Units
2-6 -27.7 Units
From the 18th to the present he's down 19 unitsComment -

Tgoat you are making me look bad bro- im still way up man

I might be hard on myself, but I hate getting swept. That is my big annoyance. I don't really mind losing days, but if I am going 1-5, 0-3, 0-2, 2-6 then I get annoyed with getting shut out each day. That might be, but for the most part tennis should not be terrible. You aren't a big chalk layer or anything. Just from knowing about your tennis I would not worry in the least bit. You have proven to be a good capper. I am unproven. I have no evidence of how good I am since I never keep any type of record. See how it plays out.
I deleted all of the college hoops off twitter. It had a bad vibe looking at all the garbage. I don't know if I can match it, but I def have a good span I could list.
Glad you liked the pick. I liked the play, but could have easily seen Boston win by 20 with the way my picks have been going.Comment -
Mexican I'll be that fade material you're talking about any day. Good job man, time to stop getting to yourself and start celebrating your reg. winning habit, very few have it.

The only reason it is not absolutely terrible is because I swept the Superbowl with props, half time betting, and live lines. Nothing posted though.

Mex,
I think part of getting into a funk too is that you feel like you owe it to people to post winners because you developed a big following here and people are practically begging for picks. Pressure should only be what you put on yourself to win a couple, not having to pump out picks for others. You should always take care of making the picks you like for yourself first, regardless of whether or not you post them in a forum like this. Making those unposted picks that win are more important than worrying about helping others all the time. That's my opinion.Comment -
Actually, I think just the opposite is true. You're only down 19 units in the past 23 days with all of those horrible losing days thrown in the mix.
That says a lot about your abilities to hang in there and bounce back in the face of advirsity.
Yes, you are way up overall, and that hasn't gone unnoticed.
I'm trying to let Mex know that he's not the only one who has bad swings. He may be doing everything correctly, but it's just variance rearing it's ugly head.
It's not an easy business. Not easy at all.Comment -
Obviously the most important part is what the bankroll is and what is being played overall. Like I said I hate losing overall and getting pretty much blanked. I posted above my awesome in about the past week.
Thanks for sharing your opinions today. Lakerboy is a great capper. He will always be up long term. Myself I don't know. I am never going to be a capper like him and still believe everything I put out is based on luck.Actually, I think just the opposite is true. You're only down 19 units in the past 23 days with all of those horrible losing days thrown in the mix.

Mex, I think EP36 makes a valid point. Since you started the twitter thing you gone off the boil.Comment -

I don't know if it's a jinx or not but he was red hot before he started the twitter stuff. I think he should go back to doing the thread only and see what happens. If you can't flick through a thread to find his picks then you shouldn't be using a computer.Comment -
Of course you gotta hate losing, you're not alive if you don't, but you're also not a gambler if you don't lose and sometimes blow a substantial bankroll that you built up. I just think you're taking it a little harder because you want to please the masses who are following you after your great start with the NBA this year. Shows you're a good guy. In any case, you're solid man and just gotta take the ups with the downs and vice versa. We all gotta learn how to cope with 'em.Comment
