What I'm trying to say here is not that I'm trying to be more righteous than the Pope, but that I should have avoided the games that were gonna end that close as it is unjustified risk of hard earned money. It can work for a day, few days. even a week or two - but once the habit wears in - the books smile and grab their money back.I am lucky to be at this point where I am with that reckless betting I have been practicing due to overall excitement here. That is not how I made all those winning months that drove me to open this thread and I will go back to my notes and restrictions to chose the right games. I might be doing fine now - but that won't last if I keep doing it the way I did since I was taken by the spirit of "let's hit it while we lucky". And I am warning all of you to follow that advice of mine that I am going to follow myself. Lucky - is for limited time. Money making takes patience. The best example for what I said is the win by the Suns which I won by a point. So I can't really complain losing by point other games. I might go 4-2 or 3-3 today, but I'm done betting 6 games a day. Back to my notes and handicapping. You had a great day and so everyone who tailed you and I congratulate you. But also warning you not continue in a same pace. Slow down man. Trust me on that advice.
The bottom line is that there are no excuses for losing and no bragging rights for winning. It can only be done if you treat it as an Ice Cold Business
Whoa Mavin nice, saw your post after I typed up mine. I totally agree with u go for quality and not quantity. I know it's easy to get caught up in excitement (Melos haha no offense dude). But I prefer same method as it seems u do. 1 or 2 quality picks all day long over 6, which some are likely somewhat forced despite reasoning. Not the best long term strategy.
