    My all-time favorite quote fits nicely here....

    Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

    Sounds like something Edison would say.

    that is why you find a long term capper that has proven to be consistent and just follow him and play only those plays. check what he has, play it then don't even bother watchign the game or checking scores. next day do the same, just stick to his money managment and continue...stress free profit.

    Once you go on a 7 of 9 winning streak.... you don't view it as a HUSTLE anymore. The key is... keeping it fun.... making it easier.

    Sammy Miley and the midgets say differently, go to the lake, listen to the nature sounds, realize every day is a blessing and get back to doing what you love, youre good at this so do what you do best.

    Capping takes a lot out of you.

    So many numbers to look at.

    Indeed, Sammy is wise.

    But relocation will not help. It's always an initial "go to" for people (human behavior in general)...but in the end rarely, if ever, works.

    Perhaps MoneyShot is right, you need a good 7 of 9 day (or two), and then all could be well.

    Wherever you go there you are...

    After the move Sammy will spend more time out and about hanging around the Race & Sports Books - Has to be better mentally than watching #s most of the day on a computer inside
