I am taking the day and maybe the week off.

Record 5-1, +$913.

A few people have asked about me being 5-2. It is 5-1.

Explanation:

On the Away Teams bet on Tuesday, the Yankees game was rained out, and any time you have a rain-out on the Grand Salami Side or Total bet (mine was the side, obviously) the play is ALWAYS graded as "No action".

Hope that answers the question.

But yes, please folks, if I do make a math error on my money up or down or if I list my record wrong, PLEASE point it out to me, accurate record-keeping is important to me and i will have typos from time to time probably. Hopefully not.

But I basically try and make a certain amount a week, and if I make it, I try and quit for the week and start over the next week.

I will try and answer your questions when I see them.

The key to winning at gambling is discipline and money management, so I am going to exercise that tonight even though I like one baseball game and one NCAA football game.

I love the 4 pro sports, but also do some NCAA stuff.

I may take the rest of the week off and re-start on Monday. If I reallly like a game between now and and Sunday, I may bet it and I'll post it here. No guarantees. I am happy with my performance this week, so I can wait till next week to start betting again.

There is no rule that says you have to bet every day.

"Bet with you head and not over it" is a rule I have. "Bet what you can afford to lose" is another rule of mine.

So I will pass on tonight's card because I feel it is prudent for me to do so, even though the temptation is there to bet a NCAA football game and one baseball run-line.

Every week will not even be close to this easy, but these are the weeks I enjoy.

$913 is enough for me this week.

Why?

Because I have been here before over the years, and a few times, I finished these weeks at +$400 or +$500 because I would lose a few $100 bets in a row to try and get to $1000.

There is NO NEED for me to make $1000 EVERY week.

$913 is just fine for Week 1.

But this allows me to get to the "tweak" in my "system" and that is, if I want to start a "side pot" to get a head start on Week 2. If I like something between now and Sunday, I will bet it, and post it, and call it a "side pot" bet, NOT COUNTING towards Week 1 (Week 1 is officially done), but it would towards Week 2.

All bets I post count. But Week 1 is in the books.

I don't plan on betting tonight.

:shrug: why even post with no picks. You could have won 2000 instead of settling fo a measly 913. GAMBLE or get off the blunt. No guts no glory

Okay Ernie:
You seem like a sincere kind of person, so I am going to make this as softspoken as possible....

This site is filled with very experienced players...
There are a number of us who have been at this for over 30 years (like me). We have seen a lot and have been through a lot.
I doubt there is much you can teach us about managing ourselves and our money.
But you need to learn one: Don't ever limit your upside (winnings). That is a loser's game....
You win 900 and you're ready to light up a cigar...
Example: Late summer you will see the squirrels gathering up their acorns for the winter. I've never seen one take a look at the nest and decide, "I think I have enough for the winter, I'll just take a break for the week".
Believe me Ernie, your winter is coming.... all of us get hit with our winters.... You cannot just decide "I'll just take a break from all this winning".
If you manage yourself in this way, you will never have the "acorns" you need for the winter....
If you're in the game, there is no time to rest during a winning streak... You want to rest, take a break when you go 1-10.....Otherwise, take a lesson from the squirrel.......

I didn't take it that he was necessarily quiting. He was going to take part of his winnings and start again. This is equivilent to setting a cut-off point on your loses. The man has been doing this for quite a while and it works for him. That works for me.
