Not trying to kick you while you're down, but what are you doing playing so many games?

6 were parlays, some were ML and OVER/UNDER on same game

I have been asking myself the same question though. I think I am going to stop doing that.

[WestsidePete]

yes...cut back the selections...seriously. You had 19 today...you can look at that many but then narrow them to 12...then look again and narrow those to 8....then maybe get to around 4 or 5...at this point you should feel solid about the 4 or 5. If not then go even lower..it's ok to do just one....and sometimes the obvious selection is the wrong one...trends don't last forever.

sorry to here about the losses

for one stop using services and wasting money there
since this gives you the double wammy cost for picks followed by losing bets

there are at least 3 people here that consistently win week after week after week and has been this way for a long time, I doubt it will change all of a sudden plus they are free

next forget using one team on multiple parlays no other term to use but foolish

for now go straight games and build back your bank, all the same amount

If you feel the need for a parlay go with IF bets

It will be hard to change your habits of betting as gambling is worse than drug addiction

One can lose infinite amounts of money but can only consume so much drugs

Old school charlie?

You can still get blasted on meth without inhaling.

Meth is harsh on your brain and thats about it. Alcohol is harsh on everything.

Has this style of betting over time proved to be profitable for you, other than the past few days.

[OrionSky]

Thats good advice AC

[BigDaddy]

Thats good advice AC

WTF!

wheres the advice

[trifectabx]

As I told you my friend.. You are EVERYWHERE. You can't win all of them. Take the ones you really like and BET those. I was on a bad streak last week but at most I would lose 2 or 3 a night. I was able to pull it back in a couple of day cause I limit my losing to minimum. When I really like a 2 teamer. I usually parlay it. Hitting straight bet and parlay on 2 team brings you right back on the hunt. Seriously, whenever I get those early picks from you.. I look at it and say DAMN. All you get as a response back from me is.. " These are my picks for today .. Good Luck ".. Regardless Curious. We all have been there. There's always tomorrow and all it takes is 1 parlay and couple of straight bets..

[sonnythekid]

Curious,take my advise this time. Put 500 on UNDER kcc/Chw+Arizona for tomorrow.(WEDNESDAY August 22nd). GL
and have a great day !

[onlooker]

Sorry to hear that. Try narrowing it down to a few less plays.

[AC1318]

This is good advice

Make sure you make the right combos when playing 19 plays

If he knew the right combos then there would be no problem cause he would be winning evernight 19 bets a night


Why the f\*\*k didn't we all think of that

Thanks for the help.

A few of my games turned around after I went to bed. Helped a little.

I reviewed the bets I made, and you are right. A lot of them were made in the "excitement" of placing a bet. Funny, I am always so methodical, never thought that would happen to me.

For example, the criteria I use for picking OVER/UNDER bets is very strict, either the game meets the criteria or it doesn't. If I had stuck to that my OVER/UNDERs today would have been 4-2. Because I didn't strictly follow the criteria the OVER/UNDER bets were 3-7. When I looked at "why didn't I follow the criteria", it looks like I cheated, and rationalized so that I used a game anyway, even though it didn't meet the criteria, just because I "liked" the bet. I NEVER do that. I never make a bet because I "like" it.

I have to go back to being a machine.

I never thought that getting caught up in the excitment of betting just to be betting would ever happen to me.

Cubs Giants OVER 8 & Giants ML Lost
Baltimore ML & Batlimore Texas UNDER 8 ML won OVER pushed
Red Sox RL and Red Sox Devil Rays UNDER 10 Lost
Milwaukee ML and Milwaukee Arizona OVER 10 Won

I actually made a little money on the parlays. Wierd.

I thought I had 6 parlays, but the wager ticket only has 4. The other two should have been:
Pirates ML Pirates Rockies OVER
St Louis ML St Louis FLorida OVER


Good thing I didn't bet the last two.

question

Has this style of betting over time proved to be profitable for you, other than the past few days.

The way I bet, I bet what I consider to be value. So, I don't really have a "standard" number of bets to make. If I see five picks I consider to have value I bet five picks. If I see ten, I bet ten.

I don't normally bet this many bets. The few times I have I almost always came out ahead. Sometimes I came out way ahead. I had a day like this last week where I made > $2000.

I reviewed the wager tickets and it looks like I "cheated" and put picks in that did not meet the criteria. I have a very rigid criteria I use for considering a pick to have value. Many of these picks tonight met some of the criteria but not all. So, it looks like I "cheated" just because I wanted to make a bet.

Wierd, I NEVER bet just to bet due to excitement.

[t2wentyfou4r]

I agree with Bateman,

Pick a few games you like, and go for it. Everyday, I look at 5 games. I then decide which play is the best bet. Somedays I play 5, 4 or ,3 games, some days I play just one game. Remember...baseball is not a track meet, it's a marathon. Good luck to you

It looks like you found the problem, not that big of a deal as I had done this myself at times as I am sure we all did. Most likely the first couple times you did this slightly and won by picking up some extra games followed by last nights results.

Education is expensive, now you learned.

good luck the rest of the way.

I use marble copybooks to track things over the years, It has helped me to write myself notes such as (straight bets only) or (stick to the script) maybe you should make a note rigid criteria no exceptions

again good luck
