Nice work. Doing a little research like this now will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. You will soon find out which book is best when you like dogs or when you like the chalk. That half a point can make all the difference.

I notice you're sticking with the same unit size these first few bets.That action MAY? get you some kind of comps down the road somewhere? I'm sure a LV resident can confirm or give more details..But pretty sure come MM time you could dump some comp drink tix to groups of tourists for $.Even $5 is gas money....Too bad they day-stamp them..Get to know your ticket writers.

Biggest thing would be if I could get my dinners comped. Save me that $ each night. I like to cook but what be nice to not have to pay for the dinner groceries. West va was up 10 and got fouled on a 3... Missed all three ft's if I lose this one I'll look back to that play

Bruins up 15 at half. Hopefully they can lose the second half by 6 or less and cover the -8.5 game line for me... Get me to 2-1 +$450 on the day and 7-2 +$2400 as a pro.. Actually Brady lasts night was technically my first losing night as a pro losing only $50 though. (Vig)

Good grinding day today. I am impressed with your discipline. You might make it out here. I am rooting for you. It is quite an impressive start and that was a big key to success out here.  Keep doing work and keep staying disciplined.

2-1 +$450 Wednesday

Nothing like getting paid on the spot for your winners...  it is much different than winning online or with a bookie and not actually seeing any cash until the week ends (bookie) or u cash out (online)

Nice night last night.  Glad to see you are taking a serious approach and being pretty pragmatic about it all.  That doesn't guarantee any success of course, but any other approach pretty much all but guarantees failure.  

I think it's funny that there are a bunch of us following along with your process.  It's like we are all living vicariously through you from behind our computers.  

Good luck tonight.

Phenomenal advice. 

The average covers poster loves you when you win 2 in a row, but wants to put you in a casket the second you lose 2 in a row.

Bingo.

Don't meet anyone from covers.  Especially someone who wants to "bankroll" you.  I cant get over that.  He wants to bankroll you.  Jeesh.

Support your local animal shelter. I am on twitter.

I've said to you before and want to reiterate it again.  Please, be careful who you befriend. You will want company and friendship as that is only natural, but try to make those friends you don't "talk shop" with as your more likely to keep that an enduring friendship.

Essentially, make your friends-- neighbors, the guy/girl at church, the grocery store stuff like that. Don't make gambling buddies, you don't need it.

Last few posts are spot on and things that I think have been overlooked throughout most of this.  I think everyone here believes most of what you say now so I would stop posting tickets and stating places you frequent the most and what book you're heading to for a night.  we all know what you look like but you have no clue what some of these weirdos resemble.  ill echo what some of these guys are saying - Mark had great advice - but I wouldn't trust anyone you meet on here.  GL

Great start CG.  Keep the youtube videos coming.  You might not be able to switch your drivers license over until you have a utility bill like Electric or Cable for proof of residency.  Probably got 60 days to legally do it anyway. 

Already got my four games picked for Thursday.  Won't spoil your mind-set.  Great day yesterday and GL tonight.
