This year was pretty strange overall but maybe some ideas from the BC crew may help us all. Maybe a new strategy is in order and so I address this to the "Might of this Site"
Did I profit- Well the majority of us did not profit- no matter what medication we were on. I did well in bases but blew up towards the end and the beginning was nothing as well. College football was aound 55% and I did well on NFL 60% of the time. I could go on but hoops and Hockey and soccer brought little to say about. My 10* (72%) plays was my true lifesaver but I would tend to play action plays for the same amount and that is just plain foolish and must be addressed!
The biggest snafu of the season again was the ACTION BETS (where you just want some action for the sake of action) opposed to well thought out plays or being on a solid cappers mighty play (GOY, etc) or its snowing and the field is unplayable- I am going with the Under play- or Hostetler is injured and won't play!
I tend to equalize (place my bets from 50 to 300 most of the time) the action with the better percentage plays and this has cost me greatly over the realm of betting.
Money management does not include bonehead action plays to overall win. Bonehead plays seem to make you spiral into the depths of 'Fuck I want no more of this' until the next day when Wayne or somebody has a nice GOY- then the race is on again. So with your "meager amount in the account" - you play the GOY and then hoping to get back to where you were- you throw it all on an action play because the money you just got was just not enuff!
This is where Vegas gets us and is my TOP Priority for 2008 to somehow overcome these action plays with a reminder at my computer to address the play with some questions that may remind us of our folly at times- Our true gambling nature that is erroneous and may pronounce us as a real loser (only speaking to those that are qualified)
(Can and Will you add to these questions?)
1) Does the play have a consistent tone with stats, trends, systems, injuries, variables to conclude that this is a higher percentage play than the opposing team playing or total that is posted.
2) Are you playing this pick on the halftime or for game or total due to your interpretation that it will be that way.
If so stop now if you have been on a losing streak!!! Otherwise 50 and no more!
If senses are stable and you have felt comfortable
3) You add one!
