    After my last live bet during game 7. Went 6-1 last year in the series. The later it gets in the year, the more tickets I cash.

    I actually don't like betting MLB playoffs whereas many people seem to raise the amount in their bets during the playoffs. (Big bet for a big game)

    The lines are often not great, it's mainly about picking winners where as you can gamble on a few dogs playing against bad teams in Sept and keep the grind going..or pick spots to go heavy on contenders. Maybe totals in the playoffs are better to play but I'm looking to going steady on football and NHL before riding a baseball season betting through the WS

    Never SHUT down but will SLOW down with fewer plays after September 1 when rosters expand.

    Been absolutely on fire the last two weeks, not sure what's going on, if I'm getting lucky or everyone else is sucking. Thought everyone was killing it and I come on the forums and realize most people are getting taken to the cleaners. Strange, but yeah I'm going strong, so going to probably finish out the season until the last week or two before playoffs

    same with all sports, shut it down with 2 weeks to go in the Reg. season
    after that some teams inexplicably choke, or go on a run.
    Teams behave much more predictable in the meat of the season.
    After 12 games and with 12 games remaining

    I shut down this past sunday. No need pressing it any more with these unpredictable minor leaguers and meaningless games.

    Good feedback, gentlemen. How many of you only bet on the teams that are legitimately in the hunt, versus meaningless games? I got killed this year, and am trying to get a small amount back before it's gone...

    Exactly, jj. Between bases, wnba, cfl, nfl/pre, looking at the colleges, tending to my girls in the greenhouse, I'm fukkin overwhelmed. I can see where a guy would pay for a service, if I wasn't able to juggle it all I might consider it as well.

    Zane how did you get killed? Hint, see how those 90+ win teams do heading into the playoffs and already secured a spot... Lack of motivation. Nice spot to fade a fav...

    I actually pick it up a little in September, though still just a game or two a day usually. Love the playoffs, have been profitable last three years.

    Coach what is your reason/theory for September and playoffs being hard to cap?

    This is my 3rd season betting mlb and for the life of me can't figure out how to even come close to breaking even.
    Other sports just make more sense.
    Problem is mlb is only sport for about 5 months...I don't bet much football, so gotta wait til mid October for nhl.
    I can't seem to just stop betting for 5 months and then start up again in other sports.

    I was too degenerate this season in mlb.
    I want to be more selective next season and pick about 10 starters to back who don't always have crazy juiced odds.
    Guys like Cueto, Wacha, and Teheran at home you should find yourself rolling in dough by season's end.

    lines are real sharp already at this point in the season, but there will be playable spots all the way through the end of the season. just fewer of them.
