here you go the problem with you is
1.you dought your self on your picks which brings you to play another game just to cover your game in case it loses
2.you play games you want to get lucky on you really dont know which way its going to go but you hope its your way.
3.i dont mean this in a bad way but seems like you bet just to have action.
4. you follow other people that you are better than them but you think they know something you dont.
5.all these things brings you to play too many games in a day and you hope just to break even for the day.
6. just some advice in stead of playing 7-9 games a day just please try to narrow it down to 2-3 and play the amount you were going to play on the 7-9 games on just those 2-3.
7. noone and i mean noone will consistently win playing 7-9 games a day.
i probably missed a few but im tired of typing and sorry for any misspelling as i was typing fast.please let me know if you agree or did i describe your betting habits.thanks for being civil and good luck.
Completely disagree. To respond to your points:
1) I don't doubt myself on 99% of my picks, I only doubt them when late information comes up, i.e. Thome, Podsednik and Pierzysnki sitting today. Bet lots of STL backers thought the same thing today when found out late that Pujols and other didn't play.
2) I don't try to get "lucky" on plays, i see value in every play I make. Ex. if i see a game i think a dog could win but isn't worth risking a unit jsut to win +110 or something, why not throw a 1/2 unit on the -1.5 and make more than you would straight up with less risk (except for the -1.5 cover).
3) I don't bet just for action, i bet on instinct and then i use statistics and other factors to support the play or negate it.
4) I NEVER follow anyone's picks. I make all of my plays before reading any other posters' plays. I do this RELIGIOUSLY. I don't want anyone influencing my picks before I make them.
5) I play games i see value in, I don't have a minimum # of plays on any given day. I agree i have played lots of games thus far, but I still feel i am being selective.
6) Read # 5
7) Agreed but just b/c i happen to be onl ots of games doens't lead me to re-do my card to cut down on plays.
So in conclusion, I disagree with everything you said, and those are the reasons why. Still being civil, read my points and see where i am coming from. I'm by no means an expert, still gauging my abilities.
