I am 46-41-2.

I've implemented a system where once I have hit a streak of 2 games I increase my unit bet by ~50%. This has proven to bring in profits if I can continue the streak for a few more games

This is what my bet pattern would typically be:

Wins

1, 1u

2, 1u

3, 1.5u

4, 2u

5, 3u

6, 4.5u

7, 7u

8, 10u

and so on and so forth. This system essentionally locks in 50% of your unit bet from the previous number and guarantees profit while mininmizing risk. I have started posting my survivor plays in the baseball forum for anyone who wants to follow.

Well, after working my way back to above .500 I hit some tough luck and am below again.

Yea, I do the same thing..when I'm at zero I just make picks off the top of my head. But once i get to 4 or 5 in a row I start researching every pick.. I am trying to get back to .500 too.....I am 480-485-35 longest streak 13. That streak got me a jacket to go with like 6 hats and an I-pod I've won. Still trying to get some of that cash though...lol

if there is a baseball game that is on the pick em and also on the espn streak for cash and an underdog at that...then it seems like the pick for the day. the public is usually wrong which is why there is a vegas and the pick o the day is toronto over boston...thats just my little philosophy...its 4-0 so far

closing in on .500.

Once I was referred to this site, I took it as BS and made BS picks. Once I saw REAL PEOPLE making REAL $$$$$$, I realized this place is legit!

I don't study the games - I study the PARTICIPANTS and ride the hot winners coat-tails. (Not home enough to study all the 'particulars' of each sport on my own!).

After a HORRENDOUS start, I'm finally closing in on .500. Once I cross it, I don't plan on being under ever again.

Well no .500 mark today. The rays had a chance to get the win in the ninth and get my streak to 6 but the Marlins won it in 11. Disappointed. Time to start with another streak tomorrow with Verlander going tomorrow.

I only started a month or so ago. I'm 19-10-2 so far but of course that means before my current 10 game streak I was 1 game under .500 (in fact this 10 game streak was preceded by a 6 game losing streak).

Starting to get nervous now. I bet baseball every day, and just choose my favorite game for the survivor. The only time I skipped a day was Friday when I had only 3 games i liked, and 2 of them weren't on the survivor board, and I didn't consider the one that was a "best bet". Good thing...I went 0-3 that day!

I may start getting a bit more selective now ... not necessarily doing a pick every day.

congrats to all over .500 in SS... If U will play consensus picks from these top SS cappers, u would b a winna... Vegas would shut down. I always get greedy and bet more thus win less. Good Luck Guys.

Finally above .500. I have been doing really well the last 9 games 8-1 with no information. I am going on my gut. Damm Rays had to lose on Sunday otherwise I would have the hat right now and going for the hoodie.

I have to give these SS leaders a LOT of credit; I feel like I'm doing exceptionally well lately (18-8 in the month of May with a 7-game high win streak and a 2-game high losing streak) and I haven't cracked the
top 40 in either leader board at any time. Shows me that getting to 17 (never mind beyond that) is so very difficult to do. But I'll keep at it ...

My record is 107-88-5...

Best streak is 9 (thanks for the hat)

Current streak is only 1 now but hey, that means I'm perfect in June...

Sometimes my favorite pick of the day is not listed so I go with whatever looks best...

Many times I'll go with my home teams (Philadelphia), but playing with your heart is not very smart...

I don't delve into too much research, my wife thinks I waste to much of my life staying up half the night playing various free sportsbetting sights and I'm beginning to believe her, but damn do I love this stuff!!!

If anyone plays ESPN fantasy games... join my groups in any sport, from fishing to football, I play them all!! If you do a groups search, my group is always called "NAKED PICS"... E-mail me and I'll put you in my fantasysports address book and contact you when I create a new group...

Happy Betting!!!!

Mike
