I started off a whopping 0-2.
Turkey lost and then the Sabres lost.
I'm taking Phoenix to win tonight.

skipping the morning one. Golf takes ages to complete so it probably won't be done in time for an afternoon bet anyway.
I'm considering taking Ogilvey. That or Ebbsfleet

if you're actually trying to win something, you should pick an earlier matchup first. golf or soccer
if that loses, then a 7 matchup, then Denver.

all three non-night matchups are the same in that you can't get in multiple matchups, so just pick one of the three. I don't like the earlier one.

golf is the worst for streak for the cash. NASCAR and tennis also suck.
Soccer and college basketball are the best. Also bowling, when they have it (rarely).

yeah if youre trying to get the most wins for the month,
each day start at the last pick or so for the day, and work your way backwards to map out which games you plan on picking that day. either that or organize the picks by finish time in your head, sometimes instead of 3 games that day you can find a way to sneak in 4. or on a full weekend day maybe 6 or 7.
but if youre going for the streak, then slow and steady, and watch out for trap games.

yes, if you're trying to get the monthly wins, you simply pick as many games as possible.
Monthly wins is basically impossible, though.
On the weekends I miss too many games to have a chance, even if I got every single thing I picked on weekdays right.
I focus on building streaks, but even then, it's important to keep in mind endtimes. If you do lose, you want to be able to pick again as soon as possible.
Thus, if you have a streak of less than 5 games, you may want to bet 7 PM instead of 10 PM anyway on the chance you lose.
Once your streak gets long enough, you ignore start/end times and just focus on picking the surest winner. You also should be patient and be willing to wait a few days for the right pick.
