    Thanks sportsnetwork. Surprisingly no total bets today. I didn't feel one was good enough for 5-10% juice. Hopefully tomorrow I will find an edge in those totals. Best of luck today.

    Thanks Bizarro. I am always happy with averaging 7 Units profit per week. Totals are great to bet, just have to pick the right spots. 

    Sounds good dcrich. Good luck. I am not on Bal. Arrieta is solid during the day, and especially at home while Gausman is terrible in day games.

    I do like the WAS pick though. One of my plays. Fister hasn'tallowed a run in the last 3 games, while Hudson has gotten hit well. He seems to have lost command on some of his pitches. SF has been on the road for a while too. 

    Good luck to both of you guys.

    CLE-210 really jumped out as a crazy high price to pay for favorite today. Is Carlos Carrasco deserving of these odds? Or is Brad Peacock that bad? I'm backing it regardless, just curious if anyone else was surprised by that line. If not what is the reason for the steep price?

    Not a good night, but this is why i love flat betting. Heavy juice, but since we stick to the same bet, we don't lose to much.

    STL ML 1.59 - LOSE $100
    WAS ML 1.69 - LOSE $100
    CLE ML 1.50 - LOSE $100
    TOR ML 1.76 - LOSE $100
    KC ML 1.70 - WIN $170

    Overall cost of bets: $500
    Overall winnings: $170
    Overall profit: -$330


    Record to Date: 46W - 26L, +7.42U
    Starting Bankroll: $10,000
    Current Bankroll: $10,742, +$742

    Total Profit to Date (after 9 days of betting): +$742, +7.42U flat betting $100 per pick.

    lol thanks fundude, "genital" is looking good overall ;) . I am not concerned about one day, just the big picture. 7.42 Units profit over 9 days of betting is good results. Thank you, hopefully we both have a better day today. Back in an hour to post ML picks.

    Thanks xfinity and AlohaJoe. A great night going 7-3 overall.

    ATL@CIN UNDER 7.5  2.02 -WIN $202
    NYM@LAD UNDER 7  1.78 - LOSE $100
    PIT@MIL UNDER 8  1.99 - LOSE $100
    SD@ARI UNDER 8 1.84 - WIN $184
    DET@MIN OVER 9  1.87 - WIN $187

    LAD ML 1.61 - WIN $161
    OAK ML 1.63 - WIN $163
    WAS ML 1.59 - WIN $159
    ATL ML 1.81 - LOSE $100
    SEA ML 1.95 - WIN $195

    Overall cost of bets: $1000
    Overall winnings: $1251
    Overall profit: $251, +2.51 Units


    Record to Date: 53W - 29L, +9.93U
    Starting Bankroll: $10,000
    Current Bankroll: $10,993, +$993
    Total Profit to Date (after 10 days of betting): +$993, +9.93U flat betting $100 per pick.

    Thus after 10 days of betting, we have a profit of ~1 Unit per day (0.993) and are on pace
    for our goal of 28 units profit over 28 days. (4 weeks total)

    I am getting a lot of PMs asking me why I don't bet the American method with regards to bankroll. For example, since I bet a lot of favorite money liness, and the line is -161 (1.62:1 in decimal format) that it's a lot more profitable for me to bet $161 to win $100 profit as opposed to flat betting $100 to win $61. 

    Now it is true, with my current record of 53W and 29L that I would be up a lot more than 9.93 Units, I just prefer flat betting because over the long haul, it keeps the variance swings at bay. There are periods where I can lose for weeks, but overall, with a 1% flat bet unit size, it doesn't phase me. Meaning the swings don't piss me off and upset my mental state. It keeps me from tilting, and it keeps me sticking to a plan that I can follow. This is extremely important if you want to do this long term. 

    I am going to have my morning coffee and begin capping today's games. I will be back in a few hours to post picks.
