2010 SEASON: 1-0, + 1.50 UNITS
YESTERDAY: 1-0. +1.5 units
FINE PRINT: First off, I have done well every season in baseball since
joining Covers, but that means ABSOLUTELY nothing when it comes to a new season.
Like any good team in sports, I too can have a losing season. There are no
guarantees. If you choose to tail, that is your choice, but I don't want to hear
about it if you lose money. I bet real money and I can assure you, it's a lot
more than a majority of the posters here so if you lose tailing, I can assure
you I lost a lot of money too.
I do not know when I will post everyday. Each day it depends
on my schedule. I use Matchbook. This season I will do my best to post my plays a few cents
worse than the lines I get (i.e., if I get +120, I may list it at +117) so I
don't need to hear whining and complaining that people can't get the same lines
I get. If you use a 10 cent or 20 cent line, you definitely won't get the same
lines I get and you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you play at
such a ridiculous place. If one bank was offering interest at 10% and the other
at 2%, would you choose the 2% bank?
I will not have time for writeups on a regular
basis and also won't be able to answer questions on a regular basis as
this is very time consuming for me. So if I do not respond to a
question, please understand it is nothing personal. In addition, if I
don't play a game on any given day, I don't feel strongly about it so
my opinion isn't necessary so don't feel the need to ask. However, feel
free to share your insight on a sharp play you see and bring it to my
attention and to others.
I probably won't play too many 5 inning lines or
team totals because the markets are not that liquid and it's difficult
to get down for large amounts.
My plays are always with listed pitchers.
When I bet a unit, if I bet on the underdog, it means I am
RISKING 1 unit. If I bet the favorite, it means I will win 1 unit and am risking
1 unit multiplied by the line.
If my friends here want to do me a service, you guys deal with
the haters and bashers that will surface in my daily threads. I am going to do
my best to ignore them.
Thanks to the many
people who have emailed. I appreciate the many offers, but I want to be clear. I have NO
interest in being paid for my picks other than from the places taking my bets; but please understand, I probably
won't have time to send out emails to people of my daily selections so I respectfully decline.
This is a hobby and while it may not seem it, I have a very demanding
job in addition to having a family. If you feel strongly about your financial offers, put some money aside if you are fortunate enough to win and at the end of the season donate it to a charity
like I do. I have recommendations of great charitable causes but WILL NOT mention them on Covers.
Remember it's a marathon and not a sprint. If I lose early it
won't sidetrack me. If I win a lot early, it won't change the way I
play.
Good comeback by the BoSox to start the season off right. I have a busy day Monday so I don't have a lot of time to post and answer questions.
