What's up fellas.
lunch, actually not only did I not hedge, I added 5U to this play at + money right before first pitch. I then shut everything off and spent time with my family. Started getting the "itch" to check the score on my phone about 2 hours into the game, though, and I was feverishly refreshing from that point on.
I was playing with my kids outside and checking my goddam phone as the Phillies collapsed, thinking to myself, "WTF am I doing here?" Stressing out over a bullshit bad beat and flushing over $300 away (a lot for me when it comes to sports gambling) over what? How in any way, shape or form did I have control over what happened?
LTA calls this "sports investing." Sure doesn't feel like it. It's gambling. Period. I'm assured that long term, the bad beats and good cancel each other out. I wouldn't really know anything about that.
I really need a break from this, because this stupid game was consuming my Saturday when I should have been enjoying time with my family. Hate to hang it up on such a shitty note, but I didn't even look at a single line today and I don't think I'll be making a baseball bet until next week at the earliest. Even then, I probably won't spend as much time on it as I have. I'm still shaking my head over this loss, and this hobby of mine in general.

I enjoy the "controllable" aspect of gambling: i.e., capping and reading lines. Once the game starts, though, the lack of control has really started to suck the enjoyment out of it.
Oh, and f\*\*k you Jimmy Rollins.

No coin you're never going to win at a high% until you stop doing your reverse line movement plays and fading the public nonsense
When are you going to understand that sh*t means absolutely nothing? There are people here who routinely hit as high as 58% betting on nothing but just traditional handicapping methods. Why do you feel like you can't do what they do? Or is it more like you don't want to win if it means taking obvious and easy plays? You want to win only with ugly dogs and anti public plays?
You're actually a smart baseball guy, you understand players, teams and matchups. You would be a good capper if you stopped trying to be so "sharp" all the time by taking ugly underdogs, stupid anti public plays and lines "that look too good to be true" when it's basically Vegas handing you free money
You understand you don't get more money than the other guy for winning 1 bet of the same size by taking somebody like the cubs instead of an actual good team on a hot streak facing a mediocre opponent right?

You do realize, don't you, that I just lost a 10U (actually 15U) bet on a game that had RLM and I went with the public side, right? Originally Posted by brahmabull117
You also realize that most of my heavy losses in this thread are from plays that follow that exact same pattern (betting against RLM and going with the public fave), and that very rarely do I make a bet based on RLM alone right? Right?
You couldn't be wrong again. That hasn't happened before.
Let me just say this: STFU already. Just like gambling, you don't know what you're talking about. Thanks for the moronic back-seat driver advice though.

Thanks pacocn. It's not just that though -- I have no balance in any aspect of my life right now because of this. It was swallowing me whole. There's only so many times I can click "refresh" on my phone before I start to question WTF am I really doing spending so much time on an event that I have zero control over like this stupid loss for instance.

Also you can't deny the fact that you play a lot of very ugly dogs and fade quality pitchers and teams a hell of a lot. I think I've seen you fading every great pitcher in the league, I even saw you fade Dickey in a situation where it was only like - 130 and he has shown to be arguably the best pitcher in baseball
Bottom line is that you're never going to have great success betting on the ugly dogs that you love to bet on. Look at most of the people on this site who win a lot - guys like Vegasreaper, Chas and a few others. Most of them just make smart common sense plays and usually bet on good teams in good situations. There is no "sharp" or "square". There are winning plays and losing plays

Funny -- where have I seen that before? Oh that's right: it's the exact same thing I've said a thousand times on this site. Yet you post this like I believe otherwise, because again, you're just making your typical blanket assumptions and generalizations because you're a loser and a troll.

I can't wait for you to bury yourself again after the ASB using your "common sense" capping. Some things never change.
-
06-17-12 09:12 PM #1447
brahma will never understand. fading the public can you get a +150 line when the line REALLY should be +130
that's why we do it, for the 20 cents of dead money on the other side

For the time being, your opinions hold no value to me. You're a mediocre capper at best
Keep playing your ugly underdogs and anti public/Reverse line movement plays. Maybe one day you'll make money

Don't ever come into my threads again and pretend to know what you're talking about when you can't even be 1 unit in the positive over 200+ plays

Like I said boss. Since I started betting again, I'm 18-11. Just keep watching. Time will tell

No, actually brahma was worse than 50% and lost some very juicy series plays from the NBA conference finals. He didn't delete them b/c he was going 'back and forth back and forth' about whether or not to keep a spreadsheet, he just stopped deleting the plays once he got on a winning streak. He actually restarted the spreadsheet several different times (the first 2 or 3 times he started it he was getting completely buried).

I have decided to track one team (sf giants since I was always a fan) I will do "advanced scouting" on the upcoming opponent and pitchers and maybe make a play. I will spend at most 1 hour a day on this crap. No more betting for action. All plays between 1 and 5 percent of bankroll. I am waiting for the end of interleague play to start up again.
Gl to you whatever you decide to do.

Thanks. I agree it's very difficult to juggle both. Of course you could always half-ass capping, but I don't see how you win long term doing that. Originally Posted by underal
