When LAD, down 3-1 in the top of the ninth had poo holes as the tying run at the plate I thought I was fukked.

I didn't see it, did he get a hold of it or was it a routine fly?

Fly out, not too deep either.

Great news kids!! You only have to leave Santa cookies this year, he's got his own milkers now!!!

Lol nothing just flipping shit. Should have added /s.

Cubs and Wash in the lead but I doubt Cubs hold on.

Would take MIL live if it were a better deal.

At least thinking about it.

Wash gives up 2 runs in the top of the 9th to lose 9-8.

lol

Milwaukee with the 4 run 8th inning.

Passed on MIL +133 live.

I'm so pissed at myself over that. I had up in the terminal, two different books, and said fukk it, when it was a viable legit play at +133.

4-0 turns to 2-2 for the Fund, which is nothing.

It's the UNIT swing in the Fund that sucks...

952	17-Sep	WAS +103	-1
958		CIN +157	1.57
959		CHC +200	-1
967		MIN +193	1.93
		Fri	1.5

Not to mention the missed LIVE opportunity.

I kind of glad The Fund was only up +1.5 units, because I haven't posted a chart in a while and I wanted to get into beofre a breakout. Which we almost had.

How about the Giants/ATL game. Atlanta takes the lead top of the 9th, but we're in extras.

I have three words for when stuff like this happens.

"Shake it off"

Just like I will bump and talk about those South Carolina/ECU trades that were fukkin great, I will do the same with mistakes, or failure. If you read you might remember when I said I got fooled int he 49er game and then later came in and showed how and why. I review behavior, I analyze what we do, to no end. And this is worth review.

Losses don't always mean failure. And failure doesn't always mean losses. I'm defining failure as mistakes here.

Read that quoted post. Discipline is everything. When metrics or criteria are met, triggers must be pulled. This isn't a breakdown in discipline where bets that shouldn't be made were made, the most common type outside of breakdown in bet amount variation. This is a break down where I was present, looking at the situation, seeing what I would take. Seeing it, and not taking it.

It's not as bad as the first type of breakdown, which can occur in so many different ways, from chasing to bad information, to getting fooled and not on being on your toes 24/7, the ways are countless; but all types of breakdowns must be evaluated.

If you are confident in your capping and it's not false confidence, then all you can ask for are more opportunities. If you aren't there for opportunities, it's ok, you can't be there for everything, but when it's up on the screen and could be bought, and isn't, that's a mistake. And it won.

[KVB]

"Shake it off"

Indeed. For that error, after review, the only thing I can do is just that, shake it off.

It's exactly what has to happen. Any other action to try to avoid or curb that behavior with just tonight's incident would be the opposite of shaking it off.

The best sports bettor to ever live won't have a major in mathematics and a minor psychology, he'll have the major in psychology and the minor in mathematics.

I think you need equal parts mental and math.
But yeah all the math in the world that you have learned and retained over the years doesn't mean jack shit if your mind ain't right.

Which reminds me of my favorite 'Cars' song.

As well as understanding the psychology of the competition, not the books, but the other bettors, the other players at the table.

The Cars were awesome. Those early MTV embracers, making videos...

DJ Old Sch00l just woke up, all hammered drunk, walked over to my house, knocked on the door, and was like "did I here the cars?"

And I was like "DJ, who's gonna drive you home tonight?"

But the thing is, we waited all year for that Fund to pop, like it always has, but it was a COVID year. While 101 plays went off, 33 triggers in that Fund were cancelled. I can even post those too, with links, lol.

So of course we expected the Fund to pop, fully Funded and getting posted here at SBR. So of course it does...

I remain full Funded though, and when we get into the charts which now can span over 3 seasons of posted plays, we'll aggressively trade this Fund.

Ok, so I want to tell you guys about what happened here with Vtech/WV and the lines...

...Circa did a move of protection on that Vtech bet too, I'll get into that once I'm done here... but know that it made -3 go to -2.5, then protection put it back, at -3.

Circa oddsmaker fukked up...lol.

Wish I would have explained this a little more, lol, because 5 minutes later 5d hung the total at 49.5. It would have basically a punchline to my story about the numbers.

Books trying to take Vtech off the table for a pro audience while at the same time keeping the line low.

Fukkers.

Before the line came out on this game it had already been decided that if I can get +2.5 or +3 on VTech with the Total at 48 or lower then Vtech would trigger.

So the first line available to me is Vtech +3 and the Total is 46.5. I scream BUY into the phone...lol.

We slam.

87 seconds later the line stays at 3, but the Total moves to 49
20 minutes after that the Total moves to 48.5 and the line drops to 2.5...it eventually went to 3 and traded back and forth.

5D opens with the 3 line just 5 minutes after Circa but waits 50 more minutes to open the Total at 49.5, well above the 48 threshold.

The line went on to trade at 50 and 50.5 while Vtech sits at -2.5.

They kept us off Vtech as best they could but that Total will drop off of 50.5 and Vtech will probably never touch +3 again, and me even drop further to 1.5 or lower.

Expect that Total to drop, and if it makes it down to 48, we could see a pick em.

This is what happens when you are on the forefront of the marketplace.

[KVB]
