stop wasting money on hockey.
Josh.... slow down a bit bro.....take some time out.
Anyone following this poster should use extreme caution.
We all come across some really shitty days. Devastating losses this weekend. No worries Josh.
Next weekend is another weekend.
damm man, that's not a good day, or should I say really bad one...what are the total losses for today alone bro? hope you will rebound next weekend...good luck
Rough week man. Take a breather, regroup, and gl on next one.
Dam, Tulsa and the Giant were two crazy games. Can beat yourself over those games bro.
Hey everybody. This post is to announce my retirement from posting at this website. I started this quest over a month ago with the goal of turning 25,000$ into 100,000$ in a few months. I got off to a great start, when I was betting smart and not adding games, then this weekend I chased, and chased, and accordingly so .. LOST. This is what you should expect when you chase after losing. The entire point of this "quest" was to use some extra capital from six hard years of precise money management and picking winners, and to go "crazy" with it. This is why I started posting, because I thought many of you would enjoy it. I have gotten numerous PM's from you guys, and i've answered your questions, shared my knowledge and we've had some fun along the way .. too bad I got greedy and placed wagers that I both shouldn't have, and wouldn't have if I was being strict with my money; yet I bet freely, wen't crazy and lost. With a denver win tonight I will still have 100,000$ to go to Las Vegas, so I am going to count my losses of this quest and I will be heading down to Las Vegas January 3rd, 2010. That is a Saturday. My fiancee and I will be staying in a hotel for two days before moving into our new home on the Monday. If any other posters at this forum, whether I have talked to you before about this or haven't, will be in Las Vegas this week or any week in the month of January .. or in fact any month of the year, haha, then please send me a PM and I would love to go out, do something exciting (as I know there is alot to do in Las Vegas) and grab some drinks and something to eat, with the fiancee accompanying me and whomever accompanying yourself.
Once I get to Las Vegas, I will be returning to strict money management. I hope that lots of you have learned from my story that money management is the way to go, especially with an examplary finish, chasing and losing 1/5th of the bankroll I worked so hard, and patiently to build. This is how I will be betting, and I strongly suggest if any of you wish to build a bankroll to do the same ...
I will be wagering on 10-16 selections per week. I will have 5 to 10 selections during the week, thus one or two selections per day, and I will have 5 or 6 plays on the weekend. Every selection will be 1% or 2% or 3% of my bankroll (with the majority of the selections being 1 or 2%) or in your case 1 unit or 2 units or 3 units. I will be having one 5 unit selection each week too. If you decide to follow my style of money management, then technically the goal of each week is to profit 2 units (or 2%) thus in one year you will DOUBLE your bankroll. Anything less than 2 unit profit per week is below average, but do not chase, and anything above 2 units per week is icing on the cake. I feel as though I will be able to double my bankroll atleast once, and hopefully coming close to doubling it twice .. every year.
Finally, I want to say thankyou to all the posters who came into my threads .. wished me luck, congradulating me on wins etc. Thanks alot, and you guys are the only reason I continued to post my plays. I couldn't stand the bashers. I understood where they were coming from as I was betting over my head, and way more games than I should have; but that was the entire point of this quest .. to either double my bankroll fully or teach me a lesson. THANKYOU TO EVERY POSTER OF THIS FORUM, I wish you all continued success.
Frankly, with over 50 days before I move to Las Vegas, and no sports investing within these 50 days I frankly have no idea what i'll do while my fiancee is at work. I will continue to keep up on sports, follow intensively but it won't be the same as not watching the game and having the game effect my pocket (positively or negatively).
There is one last wager I have, BEING DENVER +3 TONIGHT, and then I will be done. I had a great time here, this was my first time posting on forums for the public to see and even though I didn't finish in the positve I had many e-mails from guys saying I won them lots of money, and for that I am happy.
I wish you all best of luck in the future, and I will sure to stop in everynow and then; but as a professional sports handicapper, living in Las Vegas. I cannot wait boys and I will come back to keep you updated and to see how others are doing. I hope you learned something from my thread.
GL and take care!

What were your final results Josh? I remember you came into this forum claiming you were already up 15,000 or so. So, starting from $0 in this forum, where do you stand overall? Just curious.
technically approx -40 thousand .. but yes as you mentioned I was already up 15,000$ (and that wasn't shit out of the air that was the 100% truth as you can see if you check/checked out my threads at forum.therx or forums.eog or if you checked out my blog.Originally Posted by mebaran
GL with continued success mebaran. I cannot wait to return to money management, where I feel more confident with my method of betting and thus happier with the results. This little "quest" was fun, but just goes to show that without good money management anyone and everyone can lose.
GL
Sorry it didn't work out josh. Good luck in your new city and with the marriage. Hope it works out well for you and thanks for sharing your journey.
Hey Josh best of luck and thanks for posting. Hopefully you will still share your thoughts on picks etc. I might just take you up on your offer sometime when I visit Vegas - I think I'm averaging 5 trips a year for poker tournaments mixed with some vacation visits, so it's quite likely I'll be around at some point. Stay smart and keep your head up.
All the best.

This is what happens when you over bet your bankroll...even for fun. Vegas is a graveyard full of "great" gamblers who did very well at home...or on paper.
One mistake, one bad week, one error in judgment can send you spiraling into the abyss. Ask me how I know.
Money management isn't something you "get back into." It's something that you never discard for any reason. Once you do you're toast. If you have any kind of steam, or chase in you, Vegas will eat you alive.
Discipline is the one true master. If you don't have, discard it temporarily, or never have it in the first place, the results are inevitable.
In the gambling business you are your own worst enemy.
Josh, all of your posts were greatly appreciated it. I went on SBR to look at your posts daily. Even though I lost with you, I really appreciate your picks.

Thankyou shahbucks.
I will be posting my selections in the service section 1-5 minutes after the game, so you may still be able to bet with my wagers (if you bet 2nd half) in certain situations, without paying for the service.
If you send me an e-mail, which my link is in that thread, I will send you some information + advice and tools to success for free whenever I send it to payed customers, for free as well.
Thanks alot for your kind comments, heres the remaining 6 points I have in my account.
Take it easy brother.
Hope you do well out in vegas...
