    d2d when you first started what was your unit?

    It's amazing that starting at 300 after 500+ plays you were at 5k.

    Did you occasionally go in, or was is great br management?

      The first day I made 8 bets for my whole roll. For my first month there was no such thing as bankroll management. The first 30 days I hit the NFL and NBA at 63% to build that roll. I wish I could say I did it the smart way, but I did it the only way I knew how.

      When I started posting here I threw $500 on 5dimes and a week later cashed out $7000 from Bodog (put that down on a car). Since that I have turned that $500 into a roll of $12k in my 5dimes account. I haven't pulled anything out of there because I am looking to continue to grow units.

      One thing I will say is that my bankroll management didn't come into full effect until the last 65 days or so, and now I'm very strict with myself about almost everything.

      I hope that helps, and thanks Coreos.

        Also, just to update everything, these are the series bets we still have outstanding. You will remember that the Boston wagers were our POD going back about 9 days ago.....I have since (posted) laid off that bet with a little insurance on the Rangers (done after game 2). We are in a position that is the Bruins win we are up the $328 and if the Rangers win we break even.....not a bad spot to be in with the Bruins up 3-0.

              A player withdrawing before the match begins cancels all bets on that match? Or does the winner still get graded?

                Depends on the site, but most don't grade bets unless the 1st set is completed. If the winners were graded, the losers would have to be, and that would make for a hell of a lot of pissed off tennis bettors.

                Also: To anyone that has not hedged their Boston bet (and still wants to), the Rangers are +1400 on 5D. Personally, I wouldn't bother at this point, but to each their own.

                  Any value at taking the redwings for the series at -110 or sharks at +115?

                      Nope, not in my opinion. As you know the Sharks series is all about home advantage.....and they do not have it. The Kings are still the best option, even with the juice.

                      I can't bet the Wings series because I am on Chicago Series. IMO either team could win tonight and if Chicago wins you could get +200 on the Wings tomorrow.

                          A very small selection today....I wish it were otherwise so that we could immediately make up for yesterday, lol. But seriously, not a lot of value that I can identify in the NHL, no NBA games and a super short slate in MLB where I cannot see any big plays at all. Sorry I posted the Pirates pick just 10 minute before game time (above).....

                          You will also see two 2 unit wagers for the NBA here. These are good lines, and although I think that Memphis may win SU, I cannot turn down points in a game that I think will be close no matter what. Hell, Memphis could still win this series....but I don`t see them blowing the Spurs out in any game.

                              It is all good bud, you did what you thought you had to. As was mentioned a bunch yesterday, some days are just....well, crappy. Roll through the 98 days and you will find 4 good days for every crappy day....and if we can keep that pace, well heck we will be golden (literally!).

                              I will say one thing though.....if you do tail (and nobody has to do anything) I truly believe it is best to tail completely....do not let a rough day change your units bet, because this will hurt you in the long run.

                              Anyway, I am happy you picked up some units....I am sure there are a TON pf people that backed off the ATP completely.

                                Sorry everyone...this one is on me. I didn`t get a chance unti quite late and I was on my iPhone.

                                Pittsburgh has an early 1-0 lead already.....but if you can grab the live under I think that will be a decent bet. These super early games on travel days almost always go low.....both teams want to hit the road here, and NO HITTER likes playing a game this early (not sure why, it is just how we are, lol). Hopefully Pittsburgh scores 2 or 3 early and then they will just cling to that lead....the Cubs will be happy to get on a plane after a 2 hour game here.

                                  Can I ask what you think of these plays?

                                  The under in the sox cleveland game. 9.5 seems high for macillister and dempster, even with dempsters last outing being bad. Both are good pitchers and I can see this being low scoring, I don't see this being a 4-5+ game at least. With Francona back I see this being a well pitched outing by both sides.

                                  In the past you've played the home/away goals in NHL. With the Kings, Wings, and Rangers with home games tonight and most likely theyll win 2/3 if not all 3 of those were you at all tempted to play the home -.5? I've never played it so don't know what to think.

                                  Thanks.

                                  It seems like all of pittsburghs games go under with the exception of Mccutchen I dont understand how they get these runs. They are a sneaky 28-18.

                                    Ok, the perfect first inning...you may be able to get the O-U at somewhere around 8.5 or 9....and if you can (I cannot) hop on it!

                                        In the Francona game I do not like the total.....I have no idea what the emotion of the day will do, but I do like the Indians here, just because of the +$$$, Francona returning and frankly they have the better pitcher on the mound. The only regular season prop I ALMOST jumped on was the Indians total wins, which at 77.5 I knew was going down. My problem is that I am never willing to tie my money up that long....in other words, they are better than they get credit for.

                                        Tonight I cannot play the NHL Grand Salami because IMO the Blackhawks could put a 6-1 thrashing on the Wings, or they could lose 2-1. I just do not have any sort of feel for this game. I wish I could take the obvious value in the Wings at home tonight (as almost everyone is doing), but frankly I also feel that the Hawks won`t let this series get to 3-1.

                                        I wish I could have been more help.

                                            On a tennis note, we are now cheering for Gilles Simon (yuck) to win the 2nd set in his match versus Andujar. Frankly, when I took the over 22 games it was because I liked Andujar to push Simon, but I should have thought harder about taking him + games and straight up. These two have been super close, lots of break opporunities and both serving reasonably poorly.

                                            Gilles Simon never wins the easy way (or rarely anyway), so hopefully this will be another case of that.....(although I would prefer Andujar to win it in 3 sets)....hopefully the home crowd helps him enough to get us this win.

                                              The clear bet is on Maccilster here. Indians plus money is a no brainer.

                                              Under 8.5 at -110 for the live bet on Pittsburgh looked good, thanks.

                                              I'm somewhat thinking of putting short money on each home team tonight with the thought they will go 2-1. And to have a vested interest to watch.
                                              I can see Chicago being the spoiler here as well.

                                              Thanks for the input, best of luck today!

                                              Took the nats over 92 and the giants over 88, unless the nats turn it on (which is still possible) I think I go 1-1.

                                              If you are watching tennis live, where do you watch it? I usually just put up ATP official live score tracker.

                                              -----

                                              You are guranteed at least a push and if Simon can get one more match its cashed.

                                                I am very lucky where I am with ATP. If I do not get it live I get it delayed. If I get it delayed, I watch the scoreboard on the ATP site and then watch through the matches later on the PVR so I can get a feel for the player. There are other options as well online like vipbox.tv and a lot of stuff gets shown through bet365.

                                                Speaking of tennis, Gilles Simon just broke in the 2nd set.....if he holds serve throughout we are looking good!

                                                    And damn McCutcheon decides to go crazy on us....ok Pit, time to settle down and realize that the Cubs aren`t even going to put up a fight....they just want to get to the airport!!! Leave the poor Cubs alone!!

                                                    If you can get a better live line on the under I would still grab it again.....maybe 10.5 or something.

Simon, after being up in the 2nd set 4-1, gives up 2 breaks in his next 3 service games and instead of an easy win at OVER 22 games, we end up with a push....in front of his home crowd, the 2nd seed in the tourney absolutely shites in his shorts.

                                                                  I wish I could feel bad for him....all we needed was a 2nd set tie break.....just to hold serve ONE more time....and he was up 4-1!

                                                                  Oh well, a push is better than a loss, but it was tracking as a win from the first serve of the match.

                                                                    Joe Blanton is 0-7 with a 6.62 ERA and 1.967 WHIP through nine starts.

                                                                    Blanton is also 0-2 with an 8.04 ERA and 2.106 WHIP in his last three starts. He faced KC on 5/13..... Blanton gave up 7 runs, 12 hits over 4 2/3 innings......

                                                                    Santana on the other hand used to be on the Angels...you'd think they'd know how to hit him....and his last 3 starts he's been rocked....

                                                                        My one worry is that when you get two guys, exactly like this, matched up against one another it is a recipe for the under. At 8.5 with all of those stats, frankly you are right....this game screams OVER.

                                                                        I may make this play here....thanks for opening my eyes to this one, I had clearly fallen asleep at the wheel....
