Does anyone else have this problem of not sticking with their sports betting strengths? Like a certain team/league/sport you win on consistently year in and year out but you cant help yourself but throwing away majority of the profits on others? If I just bet CFL, bet nothing else, quit in the offseason, and then come back each year and do the same ONLY I would be up a ton. My 2007 posted record for CFL was 32-20 (61.5%), 2008 posted record was 42-30 (58%) and 2009 posted record is 21-20 (51%) however on a 14-6 run and 62-40 (67.7%) from Week 4 of 2008 until today. Overall altoghether for CFL is 95-70 (57.5%) All bets are posted and documented on this site. I have made money consistently ever since I started betting CFL seriously in 2007 however I seem to give it all back in other leagues. I wish I could have this discpline to stick with my strenghts only. I know that roccodean dude does exactly what I am referring to, to a tee. He says he only bets NFL and NFL only does not make a single wager at any other point in the year on anything and sticks to his guns. I know he is up a bunch by doing this so much easier to say than do. Anyone have thoughts on this topic for themselves personally?

The reason I brought this up is because I fucking suck so much at capping pretty much every other sport (long term). I am like 1-34 in CFB and NFL this year. This is not a bashing other leagues thread either I enjoy all leagues for the most part just cant cap them and I end up getting frustrated as hell giving back majority of my CFL profits on them. This is why you see me venting irrationally and bashing the league.. Its not the league its that I fucking suck at capping it..there ya go..SOBER SINCE MARCH 28TH OF 2007!!!

Chado, that is why I only cap the NFL. I dont have the time to cap other leagues so I don't. I would love to have the time to cap CFB because I think you can make a killing.Check out all of my past picks at www.Byeweekpicks.com

My whole point of this thread is strengths and weaknessess. Some things you are just good at and others thing you are not. If we just simply had "time" to be good at everything life we would all be perfect (that sounded really gay).. On a serious note I think time is not even close to the issue IMO its more about discipline...Last edited by Chado1; 09-26-2009, 04:02 PM.SOBER SINCE MARCH 28TH OF 2007!!!

why in the hell bother to make statements about discipline, selective capping, sticking to what one does best, then make plays, and rant about em losing....
IT'S PATHETIC, WHEN ONE CAN SEE THEIR DOWNFALL, AND HAVE NO MORE MENTALITY/WILL POWER TO CONTROL ONES SELF.....
YOU'VE POSTED IN HERE NUMEROUS TIMES, YOUR BREAKING THE DRUG HABIT, SHOWS DAILY IN YOUR SIGNATURE, AND THIS IS THE SAME PERSON THAT DOESN'T HAVE WILL POWER OR CONTROL TO GAMBLE SELECTIVELY.......
OR--------------------------DO YOU JUST LIKE THE CONVERSATION AND DRAMA INVOLVED WITH DOUBLY CONTRADICTING YOURSELF, INVITING CONTROVERSY, OR SELF PITY......
IT'S SIMPLE CHADO..........GROW UP....TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR GAMBLING MISFORTUNES, AND MOVE ON.....IT'S CALLED MATURITY.......FIRST OF ALL, YOU'VWE LEARNED HOW TO WIN,
NOW---LEARN HOW TO LOSE...........
Don't make me go Cajun on your Ass!
