Hello everybody-
I've been lurking for a few months, and decided to sign up.
I play two MLB underdogs each day, with the hopes of at least splitting. The plays I make are always for one unit, and I select them based on the price in my head vs. the price of the book.
Does anybody remember the old AOL message boards from like 1997-98? I used to post there...same exact two-dog system.
My yearly goal is to grind out a profit at year's end. My winning percentage has ranged from a low of 45.1% in 2003, to a high of 48.3% in 2012.
I've had three losing seasons since I started online gambling 23 years ago. (2003, 2013, and 2016)
But I know none of that matters. The only thing that matters is to keep beating the books in the future. If I can help a few folks here along the way grind out a profit, then that would be gravy.
I will look into how to go SBR Pro. I'm all for a great charity.
Keeping exact accounting is so important to me. I am playing these exact plays I'll be posting each day. Not that it matters, but my unit size has always been (and will always be) $1,000 per game. That is what I have always felt comfortable betting.
Here are my plays for Monday 5/6:
San Fran +132
Philadelphia +120.
Remember, this a grind, and a marathon, not a sprint. The overall record will definitely be less that .500, but the units won/loss is the important thing.
I also cannot stress the value of line-shopping enough. I use five very good offshore books. Shopping (for me) sometimes makes the difference between a winning season vs. a losing season; but mostly makes the difference between a profitable season vs. a very profitable season.
Good luck to anyone who either tails or fades me.
