Why isn’t handicapping at +70% possible? Who said is was not possible anyway?...

An un-played losing ticket has more monetary value than a played winning ticket.  Think about it; if you play a game for $100 that wins, you win $90 (on a -110 line), but if you talk yourself out of not playing a game that ended up losing you saved $110—a net swing in your pocket of $10.  Now start to ask yourself how you can begin eliminating losing plays.  Have you ever been on a ‘cooler’ and as the day goes on you start pressing your unit play until the last game of the day.  That last game is the one that if you bet it big enough you could wipe away the day’s losses and walk with a profit.  Isn’t it funny how those last chases of the day tend to lose at mind numbingly high percentages.  Hmmm…. How is that?  I would venture to say that most reading this right now would agree that those last game chases lose at 80+%, right?  Well isn’t that an unrealistically high percentage of accuracy according to the nay-sayers?  Whether it is losers or winners, picking over 58% is not feasible right?   You have to start keeping a log to begin to pinpoint the games, days, weeks that you cap well, cap badly, and start to find ways to duplicate the winning methods, and eliminating your tendencies, or plays, or ways of losing methods.

              What I am saying here is that this is such a simple endeavor, but you have to follow a few general guidelines, and then start to develop custom guidelines to accomplish your handicapping goals.  If you believe the people that tell you the 59+% is not possible, then they are telling you correctly.   Believe what you will, but if you constantly work to lessen your losing plays, increase your winning plays you will continue to improve your percentages until you stop this process.  If you are about to cap your card, but you just don’t feel like you are in the ‘zone’…STOP CAPPING and get your mind right, or do something else—at the very least you did not waste the time, and you saved money more often than not.  Don’t ‘wing it’ any longer—don’t play games you simply have a general gut feeling on, but bet games that you worked hard on, know inside and out, and then your gut is going to be right a heluva lot more that it is wrong (your conscience mind can only readily retrieve a limited amount of information, but it actually stores every single thing you ever knew, learned, said, and heard.  Once you pound a game inside and out your gut is then your sub-conscience screaming to you to play/don’t play this and that game).  And Stop externalizing and accepting that a play was not your fault, it was the ref, the weather, the this, or the that.   If you lost, something is there that might have warned you to the possibility.  Even if it was something that no one short of God could have foreseen, it hurts your future by pointing the blame elsewhere—find a way to take responsibility for the loss.

              Do these things and I promise you that you will win more plays, lose less plays, know your games in more detail, and have more of a bankroll.  I can point out the nay sayers very easily—they will be the one who never post anything like this trying to help anyone, but will attempt to discredit my work for no logical reasoning.  I am impervious to the haters, and writing this was 100% worth it if it helps one person.
