    Baseball = impossible

    no matter what i do ...

    i always lose as baseball...

    ******* unreal..

    take dogs, favorites win

    take favorites dog win



    no lead with me is safe, yet when my team is losing a 1-0 run game is over...


    i give up




    today cards up 4-1... blow the lead... all of a sudden cubs bullpen is unhittable


    last week dodgers 6-0 lead... blown



    week before that blue jays 6-4 extra innings. blown



    i could go on for weeks

    There are such violent swings....you can go 0-10 then go 8-2.....handlling the ups and downs is important
    to stay alive in this racket..

    I feel ya. Even when I'm up 4-1 I feel like I'm holding on for dear life yet when in down 1-0 in like the 5th inning, it feels like an insurmountable lead to overcome.

    Hey Ebby
    You are a very good capper. But IMHO your money management style needs a drastic change! I was just like you ... chasing losses and going all in when I started. Of course my capping skills are not comparable to you ... but I changed my money management style and resist temptations ... Do this and you will be awesome!

    Worse advice ever....he will still lose. He's most likely losing due to the juice...the sportsbooks are supposed to win long term.

    It is impossible to beat baseball. It's the only sport of the majors that is not a "team" sport. What I mean by that is there is no guy on the team to depend on. In football you can depend on the QB for a comeback, in basketball on the point guard or center to block shots, in hockey and soccer on the goalie. What do you have in baseball? The bullpen is a bunch of guys and you have no idea who is hittable and who is not on a given day.

    Don't cap. Trust the statistics. It's not NFL, it's a brutal grind. If u stick to a successful system, MLB is a goldmine.

    Wait for Cards next win, then fade the game after. Same with Reds and Rockies. Do it for rest of season. It should work for two of the three, if not all three.
