I'm not on the Giants bandwagon like some people are today. It's a day game after a night game which means that Barry Bonds is probably out, but it also means Edmonds is probably out as well (not like he has done squat this year anyways though). Could be a low scoring game as Alou and LaRussa are known for throwing out interesting day game lineups.

Giants are a dead play for now. CC not pitching. I will be back shortly to see if I want the new matchup and line.

Is that an official scratch? I'm assuming St. L will probably throw a scrub so the new play will probably favor San Fran.

ADDING SF -105 $210 for $200

Not as good as the first play, but still a good line for S.F. Good luck.


FIRST SF PLAY CANCELLED, Replaced by this SF Play.

There goes the sweep. A 3-0 lead turns into 6-3 in one inning. 6 runs for flordia in one inning with 2 outs and the bases empty.

 

[CHOPTALK]

0-1 -$128.00 so far.

Im going out of town again for a week like I did last week.

When I come back, im going lower my amount of money risked on my plays.

I cant keep doing what im doing. Im starting to go way beyond my comfort level of % of bankroll. Like I said a few weeks ago, I had to pull out most of my bankroll that I had been building for all these years and only got to put back about 25% into my account.

I have been betting with scared money these last few weeks and its affecting me.

Do I bitch too much about bad beats? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason for that is simple. I have been going to far above my comfort level and its causing me to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th guess myself. I have gone outside of my system many times lately. I have been too afriad to bet strickly value plays(PLAYS WITH MORE THAN A 50% CHANCE OF LOSING, BUT HAVE VALUE VS THE MONEYLINE) Therefore I have been betting too much chalk and leaving my value plays out of my bets. That has been killing me this year. Im tired of pressing and hoping it gets better. I just have to simply go back to the way I was before, and thats to lower my risk. The bad beats have been hurting me more than they should. I dont have a 50K bankroll anymore. The swings are bothering the shit out of me now.

I used to be able to make my bets and leave for the night and not have to keep up with every pitch of every game, but since the money that I have been risking is out of my comfort zone I have been a prisoner to these games and it has ruled my life the last few weeks.

I have gone against every money management principle that I have been preaching at this forum for over 2 years. You simply cant be succesfull betting with scared money.

Speaking from the heart folks and telling it like it is. I have to get back to the basics. Anytime you treat gambling like the lottery it always comes back to bite you in the ass!!!!!!

Good luck everyone. I will be back next week. I will be betting with much less on the table for now on. SEE YA.

Hard not to pull for the guy, he doesn't run and hide when he loses, just keeps plugging. Lombardi said this I think, losing doesn't build character, it reveals it. You can tell a lot of a capper by what he does when he's losing.


Good luck Chop.

I can certainly relate to that (and who can't?). Everytime I lower my bets substantially I do better--which just kills me! Anyway, it's all about adjustment....

Chop, do what YOU think is best, and good luck

 

[HinesWard86]

Good luck Chop, I'm still sure you will turn it around buddy

 

[Puccini]

By the way, you had a great MLB preseason. I know you don't include it in your record, but if you did (and I do) things are still pretty salvageable.

As you know, things can turn around (for better or worse) pretty damn quickly.
