I feel the need to ask this question. Dont take this wrong as you are one of the cappers I respect and check to see what you are on each day. You keep a detailed record YTD, you are incredible in the play of the day up 20+ units. Today you nail Pitt Under final score 1-0. Your seasonal record should be better than what it is. Are you just a 1-2 unit guy? Just curious.

I have had 4 or 5 real bad days, once 0-5, once 3-13, can't remember the others on my posted plays. On those occassions I posted several plays for many more units than the standard one or two, and believe me the unit results were a killer. Bottom line, those days really put the ytd record in the tank. But I am going to try and work it down and to the plus side on a grind away approach. Just like today's Pitt under, I really liked and played it 2 units. I could have posted it a much higher pick , but anything can go wrong with a play, so I choose to grind . All has been going well, with some of the other guys selections, they helped make up for my bad days. If I can get my posted record to the positive side, I will consider it a good year. It really looks weird to have a POD record what it is and ytd record what it is. I think it says a couple of things about my capping. One, I don't do well picking too many games. Two, those 4 or 5 days of multiple unit losses killed my ytd record, believe me ,it was awful. Three, it doesn't pay to get reckless. Four, no parlays , just a recommendation, if one must. I am considering starting a 2nd half of the season record, which might give a better idea of how I am actually doing of late. I hope this helped in some form to answer your curiousity. The longer I look at it , it is enough to make one curious. Something just don't look right, does it. Basically , there were a few days where I got reckless and screwed up big time. Still learning. Any more quations , feel free to ask. Actually it is nice to know that someone is looking that close at the numbers and reading the picks. Later.

Also, the ytd total unit results also include the outcome of a 5-25 parlay unit record. I do not post parlays anymore, but chose to leave the unit results in my ytd unit record. If I get to zero or on the plus side, it has been a good year. If I had wiped out the parlay unit record , it would have totally distorted the real picture. Kind of like using liquid paper

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Baseball is such a long, long season and it really is just like a knock-down drag out street fight. You claw for a unit a day here and there and hopefully by the end of the year you come out ahead. Coming from behind is a very hard thing to do, your confidence is shaky and your kahunas are smaller than they should be at times. But what is key is that you know your own strengths and weaknesses. Learn, re-evaluate how you are doing in what you are doing. Your strength might be in playing less games. My strength for myself might be more games, various units. Jacks strength might be in playing every game the same amount of units and taking a pass on Interleague play. I don't know if you watch his style but it has put him in the lead at the UHC. I have watched him all year because there is always something to learn from someone good or bad and he is very very good. He has a tremendous amount of discipline in quite a few different ways. I constantly change my methods. This is the first year I have played parlays myself. They are winning for me so I continuue to use them (only in small increments) for now. I had a terrible start to this year at one point down over 60 units on the forum. There were a lot of reasons why that happened and it took a long time to right that ship and in some areas (UHC) I have a lot more work to do. You have a great attitude,good head and great answers. Keep kickin ass in that POD. I cant do crap in that

inside your head
Guys, this post is perfect in showing that capping and gambling are two very different subjects. In order to come out ahead, one must be good at both. I think I am a good capper, but I too, lose my head every now and again. It really sucks to take 2-3 weeks of good work and flush it down the toilet in ONE DAY. It happens though and on with the show. This forum has helped keep me in check from having too many of those bad days and for that I thank everyone here. Remember, we are running a marathon, not a sprint.

agreed.

that's why i've taken the last week and a half off to reflect and relax and see where I'm going...

but you guys are right, for myself, just to get into the + unitz every day with a MINIMUM amount of selections (3-4) will be my goal until the end of the season.

not to mention playing the dogs!!!!
