A story of victory....thanks to all of you!
Here we go:
I came to this forum (started posting) on June 2nd this year. For any of you that read my early posts you probably remember me. I came in like I was all that (I soon learned most everyone does that), ready to show the world who CoronaPicks was. I posted my picks and did alright showing a small profit from day to day (on average). What I found though once I started posting here was there were some great cappers here. Most thinking way different than I do on MLB games. I sat back and watched, commented when I could and played my picks.
About 3 weeks ago I decided there had to be a way to grow my bank roll with other's picks. Finding a balance between my picks and those on the forum (that I trusted) to show a profit.
It started out rough (I can't lie). The first 6 forum pics I played went bust. I lost a little faith but kept at it. I am very happy to say that since then forum picks have KILLED IT.
I started my bank roll June 2nd with 20 units. I am happy to report it has grown to just shy of 50 units after today. So in a month and a week I doubled my bank roll and then halved it again.
After the NBA finals I finally had some big (as it is to me) money to play with. I adjusted my units - went way higher than I ever have and am killing it thanks to all of you. Even my wife is like "you better get downstairs and get on your bets" LOL....Serious. She even asks me every night now....how much did WE (Don't get me started on that) make today
I start a thread every day with my plays but I admit I don't always come back and post my forum plays. Sometimes I get them just before game time or get them at work, ect. Just no time to post them back on my page. But I always comment on the posters thread that I am following them (so there is a record of every play...not that that is the point of my story).
I am not telling all of this to try and prove anything or say how great I am .....because truthfully most of the profit is from the forum plays.
I just want to write this up because I know it's so easy to get caught up in your pics, you kind of get blinders on, I sure did before I started posting on this site (even for the first few weeks of posting) but no matter how good you are, there is money to be made off others here. After all that is the whole point right?
I already can't wait for NFL, NHL, NBA, whatever. I just want to win and make money!
Now my advice here isn't to just go out and willy nilly pick up plays from the forum. You have to know who your are following and why.
There are about 10sih posters that I follow (some are doubled up a bit in another thread) but I can't mention names as I don't want to get boxed. But I always comment so you know who you are.
So thanks everyone! Thanks for all our hard work.
I hope what I can give back to this forum is a few winning picks of my own and some great words of encouragement when they are needed most.
Lets have a great Sunday and a great next week, and a great 2nd half of MLB season!!
