Worked out to $12.55 a pitch. At least you haven't really lost anything except past profits; remember that you have no reason to chase. GL||clover.gif' border=0>

Not sure why you fell in love with this game Sheri. I have done this also in the past. You see something you really like then fucking fire on it. Tired of cappers saying you must use money management. I`m not on a pension or social security. Win big Lose big. It happens. My stupid ass book sent me a e-mail asking if I would be on there panel. Thay asked what would I do if I won the 1 million they are giving away. I told em I would SPEND IT, probably in a weekend at Vegas. Fucking morons, never got on their panel. Chin up eat a frozen pizza. Keep posting, you are a great capper.

Tired of cappers saying you must use money management. I`m not on a pension or social security. I guess it boils down to why we bother gambling on sports in the first place? I gamble on sports because I see the outcome in the long run as something that I have a clear edge on if I use sound analysis, money management and risk:reward approach. On the contrary, you don't have to be on "pension or social security" to get greedy and not respect your bankroll. There have been a number of broke people coming on here in desperate need of a "winner". "Win big or lose big" is your choice of course, it's your money in the first place. I don't, however, agree with your "it happens" outlook...we are gambling to win money with money we "can afford to lose" not with money "we want to lose". With your "win big lose big" approach, you will surely lose in the long run because you won't walk away if you win, you will just keep coming back. It's human nature at work. I'm struggling with my picks right now but I know that I have enough bankroll to ride it out and still come out on top because I use money management. Just because you're gambling doesn't mean you have to be stupid. I feel for Sherry as he was doing so well. It happens to the best.

The All-In strategy is just not a very wise thing to do. Even if one wins a few All-In wagers it's just a matter of time when one gets burned real bad because once you've done it and got away with it there is no doubt you will do it again, it's like you've developed a bad habit and when you gamble you just can't have any bad habits like the All-In strategy, there are other bad habits but the worst one is the All-In strategy.

I have a plan to pay my bills; purchase things I want and invest for retirement. Why should I not have a plan for how to use my $$ in gambling? Not having some kind of plan is just stupid! I use a simple plan where I limit losses to a certain amount for a defined time period, and also lock up wins after a certain amount in same period. Don't need my plan, but need some sort of plan....just doesn't make sense not to have one. If sherriffics had this play as a part of a broader plan, then nothing wrong with it. If just on a whim, then the lack of a plan made the play thoughtless. Still sherriffics $$ & not mine and we are each responsible for our own actions. I wish sherriffics as well as everyone else GL in future plays.

i would NEVER all in in baseball, one swing, 4 uns possible, one error = 9 runinnings etc... b-ball is it, most one play costs you is maybe 7 points ( missed 3 , rebound made 3 and a foul) sorry sheriff! when you go for broke you end up broke.

HI Bobby, was a little buzzed when I wrote that and was not singling you out. All I am saying is life is full of risks. Two ways to look at this. Me I say take the risk at times. Not saying go all in every game. But sometimes you see a game or a horse and you gotta go for it. If Shery would have won the game we would not be having this discussion. GL on your game today, I`m with ya.

Hey hawsy...no problem bud. I was simply shedding some light on the topic because I see so many gamblers going "all-in" when we can realistically make this activity fruitful in the end if we stay patient. I will disagree (respectfully) again with what you say "when you see a game or a horse and you gotta go for it". Fact is you don't. You really don't have to and that's the beauty of gambling. The nature of this activity has not been imposed so that when we deposity our money online, the books require us to go "all-in". We get to make that decision. It's a losing campaign for me no matter how many times I try to preach the flat betting rule because the very nature of gambling is fueled by greed. It's human nature. You're right, life is full of risks and we should not do things that further take the edge away from us. Anyway, if Sherry won, I would've been happy for him but would still not have supported or swayed to bet big. Problem is people think betting on sports is the same as betting on poker. They are two completely different beasts. In poker, there are absolutes and by that I mean when you have pocket rockets and flop comes in AA3 and turn comes in 5 and river comes in J, you know you can't be beat but in sports, anything can happen. A passball or wildpitch, a balk, an ejection, so many possibilities that can totally go against you. This is the only reason why I have to bet flat. That said, I understand your point completely. ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>
