Cash the Yankees and Baltimore, along with San Fran. Basically break even on the Cincy game and in tennis.....a good day so far, but will be defined by the A's game and if the Angels can hold on to beat the Dodgers.

[Gump 334]

keep up the good work D2D!

[Dollars2Donuts]

Ok, I am changing my position on my Kyrgeos bet this morning in the ATP.

Originally we had him at +115 for $50.....the line has since moved and I am going the other way and putting $100 on Giraldo at +105 for $100. I will post the ticket when I drag my butt out of bed.

I rarely switch sides like this, but the more I looked at this bet the less I liked it.

Post the rest of today's picks in a while.

Good job, Dollar. Best of luck today...

[Dollars2Donuts]

OK, so yesterday was a very nice day...unfortunately I made a few other tennis bets and completely forgot to post those....in those I went 2-1-1 and was + $97.50. Not huge money, but still would have been nice to have on my record. It is tough, being out on the lake and having limited time to post wagers and limited access to my laptop (I don't want to insult the family/girlfriend by shutting myself away doing this shit).

Anyway, still a fantastic day (as recapped above).

Recap (13 days):

Yesterday's Record: 7 - 2 + $484.75

Overall Record: 120 - 81 + $3006.25


I do want to point out that, while our percentage (win-rate) means nothing to me and that overall dollars are the key, we are still hitting at a tremendous clip (60%) over 201 wagers.....the best thing about that is that sooo many of our plays are at + money dogs. We are not hitting 60% here by betting -135 favourites (break even time).

I am really enjoying this run, but I will say that my goal is to make one unit ($50) per day overall. That works out to almost $17,000 per year and supplements my lifestyle while adding enjoyment. Will there be better years? Of course, and the goal is that one day I am betting 10x what I bet now.....but that will take a lot of time and a ton of hard work.

*** Please note again that I reversed my original position on the Kyrgeos tennis match and have gone to Giraldo. This will be graded as ONE wager, either a win or a loss using the total dollars won or lost on that particular match.

[Dollars2Donuts]

Adding:

255326867-1	8/5/14 9:46am	$52.50	$50.00		Pending	8/5/14 12:15pm ATP Tennis 152 J.Melzer Games Won +3 -105* vs J.Sock Games Won
255326867-2	8/5/14 9:46am	$64.00	$50.00		Pending	8/5/14 11:00am ATP Tennis 169 Yen-Hsun Lu -128* vs Marcel Granollers
255326867-3	8/5/14 9:46am	$93.75	$75.00		Pending	8/5/14 11:00am ATP Tennis 180 B.Schnur Games Won +5 -125* vs A.Seppi Games Won

Notes:

I like Melzer straight up against Sock in today's match at around +160....instead took the safer route and took the games. Lu lost quickly last week but has had a decent season and should win this match on this surface. Seppi loves clay and even though he says he likes the hard surface, his record says that he is much better on the red dirt in Europe and South America, beyond that he tends to toy with players and likes to come from behind. I see this going to three sets or at least one tiebreak with the possibility of a 6-3, 6-4 type of victory for Seppi which would be at worst a push. You never know but this is my favourite tennis wager today.

[kidcudi92]

Keep killin em D2D

[Dollars2Donuts]

A very poor showing in the ATP so far and it looks to be only getting worse. Hopefully based is as good as normal. It may have been a good idea to wait until the second round, because I am seeing a lot of things that surprise me.

[Dollars2Donuts]

I am an idiot and scared the shit out of myself tonight.....after a rough day I chased and laid $700 on Wawrinka at -350.....to win $200.....f me. He went down 0-1 and then won the third set in a tiebreak....so, a win, but STUPID of me and I did something I rarely, if ever, do.

[jjgold]

Chasing real dangerous
Wawrinka erratic
Could of gave back lots of profits

[Dollars2Donuts]

Nice card tomorrow....lot's of early games and some nice tennis matches as well. As there are still two games outstanding and I am headed to bed I will do our update in the am.....if Houston can pull this off that day will be a small loss, and if Houston loses it won't be a great day at all.....night folks.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

MMV, when you can't pick for shit, tail somebody hot and ride the wave.

D2D,

I took your advice. Tailed a handful of your picks. If this Astros game ends up hitting this will be my best night since like end of June.



Keep killin em.

[Dollars2Donuts]

Oh, and F Ryan Howard and his single with 2 out and two strikes in the bottom of the 15th. Ugh. They get through there and Philly has no relievers left and they are through the meat of their order. Too bad.

[Dollars2Donuts]

D2D,

Nice....you must have picked the right games to tail then.....because I lost $102.25....not a huge loss, but not a great night in bases either. Of course I would have been up if Houston had won there....so a pretty even night.

Thanks for checking into the thread.

[ItsMeMrMattE]

what makes you like the rangers so much tomorrow?

[Dollars2Donuts]

what makes you like the rangers so much tomorrow?

Ok, I am not sure if that is fair. If I liked the Rangers 'that much' I would have put a big bet down on them.

The White Sox are not exactly an offensive machine, Tepesch is not as bad as he gets a wrap for being, Texas had a great day yesterday and the Sox could not scrape together a run. There is always a mental aspect to baseball and sports in general when coming off of a huge lopsided game like that one, and in general, the following game tends to be scrappy and hotly contested. I like some of the Rangers hitting matchups here and believe that they put 3 runs on the board, which should give them a chance to win this game.

Tough to to bet against Sale I general, but no team with the Sox offense and fielding abilities should ever be -260 IMO.

In retrospect I did get lucky. Tailed Orioles, NY/DET U7.5, Reds, Stros, Royals, Pirates.

Your full card was just too many plays for my sorry BR.

[inZane]

The over is 23-8 when Texas is facing a lefty...Plus I don't think the Sox bullpen is gonna be too sharp after last night's drubbing

[eaglesxfactor]

Hey D2D! I'm hoping on the train. Which website do ya prefer to use?

[Dollars2Donuts]

Hey D2D! I'm hoping on the train. Which website do ya prefer to use?

I use 5dimes and Pinny, but there are a lot of other's as well.....Bodog is a great place and they pay out perfectly but not the best odds for the player, and bet365 seemed ok for everything I used it for.

[ItsMeMrMattE]

ya your right D2D. wasn't the best wording. you don't have that much on the rangers, comparatively. i just don't notice you backing the RL and ML for a team often is all. hope they hit.

[Dollars2Donuts]

Ok, it is funny, but the exact same thing happened last year and I ignored it this year.

Last at year I killed the ATP during clay season and then had a very tough time the first few weeks of the US hardcourt season. It is happening again. I believe that I am working all the angles, looking at the correct factors, but the more work I do here the worse the result. So many factors are tough, and the fact that the US Open is around the corner is such a huge deal, but I can't seem to get the flow.

The next few days I will be doing my work in tennis off to the side on my own, not betting real dollars, until I can get back in gear. I will continue posting all MLB plays, which have been very kind to me all season.

Let me translate..."Look at me I am the Canadian version of the Situation from Jersey Shore will less muscles, more body fat and a gray skunk streak in my fauxhawk.

I throw darts daily and even a blind monkey could hit the dartboard throwing 25 darts a day. Follow me and I will bury you with my square plays. I also chase losses with big tennis favorites and only update/bump my thread when I win. I have to go now; time to iron my striped shirt, clean my Swiss K sneakers and tell my needy supermodel girlfriend what a stud I am.

Where did that come from???

[eaglesxfactor]

Keep doing what you do D2D!

[Dollars2Donuts]

Where did that come from???

From a douchbag with no self esteem, lol. He accuses others' of trolling, yet continues to do this on other people's threads.

He is upset that somehow I win throwing darts and seems to think that the more games you play the easier sports wagering is.....what he fails to realize is that I have been winning for 18 months......18 documented months.

Now, do I always win? Nope. Nobody does. I am strong enough to realize when I am having a tough time in a certain sport (last year MLB, a couple of times per year in tennis, once for a short time in hockey. What a good bettor needs to do is lay off when this happens, find the leaks, plug the holes and get back to betting.

He seems to think that when I bump my thread it is because I had a winning day....but in reality I post on my thread many times per day, and MUCH more when I am losing than when I am winning. As for burying others.....I am not sure how a win-rate of 60% and being up 50 units (when my average bet is 1.5 units not 5 or 10) in 2 weeks is burying anyone....

Anyway, I digress....he doesn't bother me....he actually entertains me and since he lost to JayVegas420 in their 'battle' I can no longer even respect his sports wagering abilities....for, it was he who quit after he went 0-4 and his record dropped to a negative. I take the bad days and keep posting away.

Cheers all....oh, and a nice start to a 3-0 afternoon in bases, including a +240 dog.

Boom goes the dynamite!!

[TailingD2DnLsing]

Sigh, my name says it all. I don't blame you though D2D, making the bets is completely my choice but this is so indicative of my luck. I'm new to sports betting and it just so happens I start tailing you right when you're on a downswing or whatever. I've made ~80 of the same bets you have for almost two weeks now. Hope things pick up for you (and us tailers). That Tigers game really hurt though especially since I bet roughly the same amount of units you did.

Lol, the best ghost account ever. If out were betting the same as me for two weeks you would be up $2500 just like me....every bet has been documented and accounted for.

Good try though, lol.

Have a great night Bateman and I love you sexually.
