whats your vig on these 1st quarter bets

excellent, i try to learn every day, from what i see, what i predict.. hit or miss... i see what works and what doesn't..

i dropped two decisions in a row, and i put the FULL BRAKES on...
i really think if you miss a two or three-in-a-row.. (i halt at two) then the move is to stop and bring it back in the shop and find the problem...

so i did that.. i brought it out last night and did well in "stealth bets".. (write it down on paper, not just think it)

Physically writing a bet down on paper, or typing it to yourself in a message, is VERY important when conducting experiments. One must create an actual record. The way the gambling mind works, .. is that it is SO easy to think, " i knew that was going to happen".. or "there's another big bet i woulda won"... unless a person writes it down it's just the mind BS'ing.

I say this because unless you write it down, you don't really know what you would have done. The danger with 'gambling mind" is that it multiplies money so quickly, leading the gambler to think that all of this is a piece-of-cake. It's not a piece-of-cake and it never will be.

It does so, in precisely the same manner that a fan thinks their team is much better than they actually are.. (i was speaking to Pats fan last week, and they LITERALLY guaranteed that New England was going to put up 40 pts. on the road IN Denver)

Like that.. that kind of delusion, except with your bank account attached to it.

'Gambling-mind' is such, that you cannot believe what you think, or think what you are seeing. To accurately gauge how good a system or method is, you must to write everything down. Then and only then will you know if you are onto something real or not.  (After you add or subtract up all the money).

Anyways.. so, Wednesday was a mixed bag, and then last night (Thursday Night TNT) i made the picks (both 1H's) and they both came in pretty easy, (covered by more than three buckets) so i feel like my adjustments worked and comfortable again, posting. Which i will do again tonite.

cheers, ®
