  • Day 4, 5-1, +$913, the trek continues

    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.

    Anyway.

    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.

              cash:

              be lucky I didn't see this till now. I liked Toronto -1.5 (looks like a big-time loser) and UTEP.

              I didn't bet either one.

              It is Very difficult at times not to bet every night, but when you have BETTING GOALS, you can learn to abstain form betting for a few days.

              I will handicap each and every day, of course, but I won't bet until Monday unless a play jumps off the page at me, and then I'll start a "side pot" for Week 2 and post it.

              From this day forward, I will not announce when I am not betting games because I am seeing a pattern of people asking for "opinions" when I feel people should not even be coat-tailing yet.

                thanks Jim, but do not be a "believer" based on 1 week. One week doesn't mean jack-sh&t. Trust me. Grade me after 52 weeks.

                as far as weather reports, I am told posting links is taboo, but hopefully the mods allow a weather report link:

                http://www.weather.com/outlook/event...eventid=169761

                go to weather.com, type in the city, then go to Sporting Events, and click your way to the game and it shows wind direction. It's perfect because it shows the field and which way the wind is blowing and how hard.

                See, I am here to help. Don't say I never did anything for you.
