Some more unfortunately late events in today's games, but may still come out on top. 

Sorry bigunit, I have not heard of the shrimpguy. I am new to this forum. I am on a few other internet forums, but they are not related to sports betting.

Pinball, if you can make money with parlays, then that's great. I personally don't do them for the reasons I mentioned, but one specific is the swings. I have had a few big ones lose and stress is just got good for my heart. I do sometimes bet them for entertainment, but we are talking 1$. I am glad you are having success with them.

Thanks fullyloaded, appeciate the comments. Thank you as well tonktime, goodluck!

Not a fun day. 3 bets lost due to 9th inning issues. Hou scores in 9th to make it 8-1, lose under 8.5. LAA blows it in 9th, and even had bases loaded, 0 outs in 8th, no runs. Was gives up runs in the 9th to Pits to kill the under.

It's not fun when you lose, but that's betting. It is such a cliche, but it really is a marathon. I see a lot of people vent on the forums, some even to the extent of wishing death to players. It's very sad to read. Every time I get lucky late, I always try to remember it. It works both ways. Tomorrow is another day and we keep on grinding.

Overall Today: 3W-5L

LAA ML 1.66 - LOSE $100
TB ML 1.83 - LOSE $100
CUBS ML 1.83 - WIN $183
WAS ML 1.61 - WIN $161
OAK ML 1.72 - LOSE $172

PIT@WAS UNDER 7   2.06 - LOSE $100
TOR@CWS OVER 9   2.07 - WIN $207
HOU@BOS UNDER 8.5  2.02 - LOSE $100

Overall Bet: $800
Overall Winnings:$552
Overall Profit: -$248, -2.48U



Record to Date: 23W - 12L, +5.71U
Starting Bankroll: $10,000
Current Bankroll: $10,571
Total Profit to Date (after 5 days of betting): +$571, +5.71U


Back again tomorrow. Have a good sleep everybody.

Tough beats all day long. Today is a new day. We get an early game CHC at NYM. Any thoughts? In my opinion this game and over / under 6.5 is a coin flip.

Thanks fundude, appreciate the kind words. 

Was a good night going 7-3. A little deceiving as most plays were heavy juice. Nonetheless 1.89 Units profit today. If you use American betting methods and bet to profit 1 unit, you would be up overall a lot more. I just stick to flat betting because it reduces the variance. 

Looking forward to tomorrows games. I should have them up in 3-4 hours. 

ARI@WAS UNDER 7  1.90 - LOSE $100
DET@TB UNDER 7  1.77 - LOSE $100
BAL@CWS UNDER 8  1.95 - WIN $195
TOR@MIL UNDER 8.5  1.86 - WIN $186

LAA ML 1.83 - WIN $183
PIT ML 1.70 - LOSE $100
SEA ML 1.63 - WIN $163
OAK ML 1.50 - WIN $150
WAS ML 1.44 - WIN $144
MIL ML 1.68 - WIN $168

Total Cost of bets: $1000
Total Winnings: $1189
Total Profit: +$189, 1.89 Units


Record to Date: 30W - 15L, +7.60U
Starting Bankroll: $10,000
Current Bankroll: $10,716
Total Profit to Date (after 6 days of betting): +$760, +7.60U

So to summarize the week, I had 38 Wins with 19 Losses, with an overall profit of 8.14 Units. Thus if you were flat betting $100 per game, you would have a profit of $814. 

This is what I average. My goal has always been to profit 7 Units per week on average. I don't have any daily goals simply because of the variance. 

Averaging 1 unit profit per day, with a unit being $100, will yield $36,500 over one year. If your unit sizes are $300, that's a profit of $109,500 per year.

All it takes is discipline, patience, and good handicapping. No quick fixes, just work hard.

I will continue this thread for as long as I can, but I will give you guys 30 days of betting to show you one week isn't a fluke. There will be ups and downs, but overall, it's the long run that counts.

Good luck guys, will post Thursdays games within the next 6 hours.

Thanks Bizarro. It is a lot of plays, but that is why I keep my units at 1%. A $10,000 bankroll is perfect to start with for beginners. 

My personal unit sizes are obviously bigger than $100, but my 1% size never changes. I could earn more at a faster rate with a bigger unit size, but this unit size keeps my emotions in check and stability in gambling is very important. People under estimate their mindset, and it takes incredible discipline to do this day in and out over years without tilting. 

Good luck today Bizarro and thanks again for the kind words.

just so I'm clear, you're betting $100.00 on the Dodgers ML to win whatever that is, approx. 43.00?

thanks
