I dont worry about the negitive comments. (as long as people arent telling outright lies about me) false record etc.. If you want to say I suck thats Ok with me.
This is why. Out of about an average of about 5000 views a day, I know that only about 1000 of them at the very most understand the mentality of sportsbetting. Im being very liberal with those numbers. Its probably closer to only about 500. I do this for the 500 people that get "it". Not for the 4500 that dont.
I will have my 9th straight season of winning bases! No doubt in my mind. Regardless if the Yankees hold on or not. And I know there are about 500 people that will benifit, while the other 95% will countinue to lose year after year after year after year.
Good luck.

i have ur back whether ur 100 units down or up chop.. i will never ever encourage you to take a break or vacation or anything because i believe no matter how much u are winning or losing you know what u are doing... a dumbass cant win for 8 straight years! for those people that kiss ur ass only when ur winning, they are definetly not worth it
1-1 even money for the day.
Yankees winner.
Washington loser.
Yes the Yankee game was a miracle, but I have had some miracle loses too. How about chicago blowing 6-0 lead in the sixth inning. It evens out.
Now lets get another miracle with the Cubs or BlueJays.:lolBIG:

Haven't posted here in quite some time, but I am still a daily reader of you and several of the other high quality cappers. Now, this statement sort of applies more to a standard "spread betting" sport, but the comment was along these lines... "Even a 58% handicapper loses 1 out of 6 years... for the ENTIRE year." Just some food for thought in case there is too much pressure on you. Last I checked, 5 winning years out of 6 was dang impressive as well
Now, I'm not saying by any means that you are going to be a loser this season, nor am I bashing by any means... quite the contrary in fact. You said yourself a couple nights ago that you were considering taking a few days off, but it seems that the pressure of others around you got you to continue. There's merit in plugging along when you've got something that works, but baseball can be a VERY LONG trudge through the summer for fans and gamblers alike.
If it was just you struggling, I probably would have never said anything, but it's pretty clear that it's a downer start for a bunch of the really good ones this year. So it's not you, my friend! But if you feel as though you mentally need a breather, you owe nothing to anyone on these boards, particularly those that tailed you to the tune of over doubling their rolls last season. We'd all rather see you take a few days off, even if it means losing out of days that would have meant +10 units, and keep yourself sane through the remainder of the season, than wearing yourself down. I'm sure we all really know this, but it's a simple fact that might get ignored at times... you (collectively) need a clear head to handicap anything. If the head's not clear, you're going to be nearly as effective as you could be.
So do what you need to do my friend. I leave you with my little trick from AFL seasons past that helped turn the tide when things were down...

Hi Guru. Nice to see you posting again.
I am being 100% truthful when I tell you I feel 0 pressure posting my plays. I did in past seasons but I have come to learn that you cant hold everyones hand when it comes to betting. There will be a small number of followers who understands the ups and downs of this game. Those are the ones I cater to, and they understand what its all about. I have no fear of a losing season. As a matter of fact, I have no fear of having a triple digit summer.
Good luck.
