You are risking far too much on every play if you want to stay over the 1000 mark. An 0-4 day, completely plausible, knocks you down to 700.

Bet less.
    I concur, this is how the grand gets dissolved.  One losing chase bet and it's history. We've all done it 1-2x and learned the hard way. The more i'm up the more careful I am and sure enuf here come the ridiclous upsets. Gp ahead and play some live dogs as you are, but go small....25 bucks even. Yes, Cahil is very good at home especially, but CC bound to show up with the bats sometime....today? Your call....

well all i can say is for most of the night i thought i was a definate 3 for 3, but then the reds pulled a brad lidge...

citizens bank park was in an absolute frenzy, and all of the crowd was there in the 9th because of the fireworks, which were probably the best i have ever seen in person...

I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about baseball.  Honestly, I couldn't name more than ten or so players in all of MLB.  So how in the world did I get that record?  I can admit it.... pure luck.  I figured my luck would have ran out after that many picks, but amazingly it hasn't.... yet.

My system? I pick teams that I think have a higher payroll/winning tradition over teams that I think have a lower payroll/losing tradition.  And I don't pick any teams that are huge favorites (more than -130 or so).

That's it.  Yes, it's ridiculous. Apparently, ignorance bliss when it comes to MLB.  I only wish I could pick that well in the NFL, a game I actually know something about. Go figure.

True, wagering with your heart over intellect leads to calamity. I had the same experience with NHL playoffs last season which I am certain annoyed a few a BigGuys. Dont be surprised if the rules shift throughout the season though. GL my friend.

You need to stay disciplined. It's the toughest thing to do in sports betting, but you need to do it. Scale back down to 50 per game, not 100. If you make 3 or 4 100 bets and you have a bad night, you lose 300-400. You need to get back to playing 25-50 per game. That way "bad nights" don't hurt you as bad.

 

Best of luck tho.

Might as well post some picks for laughs....   the following has been my actual philosphy picking games this year.

San Fran -110 over Washington  ... why San Fran?  "Natinals" that's why. I rarely look at the standings and I have no idea how either team is doing this year, but San Fran is a mediocre team in my mind. And -110 is a good spread against a crap team.

Cleveland +233 over Tampa .... I know Tampa is playing well, but being a Braves fan (sorta), I've always hated Tampa. Combined with a low payroll, against a big time sports city like Cleveland, and getting +233.

LA Angles +120 over Oakland.... I looked up the 2010 payroll rankings a while back and I remember Oakland having one of the lowest payrolls in all of MLB. Meanwhile, the Angles are known for being pretty good.  I'll take Angles +120 all day long over lowely Oakland. That's why this is my streak survivor pick too.

NY Yankees -101 over Seattle... now I rarely ever bet on the Yankees because I know the spread is always skewed against them. But the HIGHEST payroll in baseball laying just -101 against a mediocre Seattle team? I can't turn it down. Although I do feel the least confident in this pick.

That's all. Whoever is dumb enough to tail my picks is  insane. Good luck!!!
