Never thought this was possibile- I had straight 18 losing bets

[Iceman]

This happened over 2 nites. They were all baseball games and I am not sure which games ended first but from what I wrote down and graded there were 18 in a row lost (7 Tuesday and 11 Wednesday) before I finally had a winning bet.

11 of the 18 bets were dog type or + juice bets so maybe not as hard but nothing was over +195. No parlays o nothing like that.

This has to be a record I don't ever want to break again. Actually graded one wrong the 1st time thru (#7) to keep the streak alive.

Much like last month, I have started out this month getting buried betting. Time to reload at a few books today. I did make a huge comeback last month to save face and actually have a winning month. Have hade alot of distractions this month and I have not been getting my typical 40 plays a nite. Hope it will turn around.

I know there are a few out there the do what I do with bases and wondering if you are getting buried also latley (down 25 units for month which isn't easy betting 1 unit a game 90% of the time.). You just keep plugging along and hopefully all the great numbers come into play and you eventually win. I know I am in it for the long haul.

One good thing about betting everyday is you wake up and look at the card like today and see all those afternoon games. A new day and I can't wait. :missingte

Is the poop business on or off?

90% going to happen. Just under a delay. I am trying to clear all this stuff up with real estate in the next week. I should have a definite answer by then.

I missed the spring rush. Which according to most that do this, that is HUGE. I have know idea how fast this idea will catch on. I need at least 30 or so accounts for this to be worth it. The plan is place, it is just about executing it now.

 

[Journeyman]

I know all about the spring thing but that's probably more important to someone who's trying to make a go at it without any other income, either way you're going to need to build a customer base all year long IMO.

I would like to talk more about this and hear what your ideas are , don't want to hijack the thread though.

Ice were these bets using the Pinny lean?

Wow and I thought I had a terrible day yesterday (5-8)..... thanx for making me feel better!

id stay away or be more selective with pinny leans in baseball unless they are dramatic leans. They are nothing like the pinny leans on NBA and NCAA hoops and (second half NBA). granted you should never see a streak like that again and they can happen even you you have a slight edge on every bet. but the pinny lean in baseball (especially totals) is not a positive expecation wager long term or great predictor of final results IMO.

Pinny lean is begging me to take the Dodgers..... but too stubborn. Took Marlins +131.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Well I have won 18 straight before. So im sure the reverse is just as doable.

 

[RupertPupkin]

Funny you mention the #18 ... Because that happens to be my worst losing streak aswell. And I remember the number precisley because it has happened on 2 separate occasions .... The last being over 8 monthes ago ( thanks god )

Pinny lean would be Marlins +131 so you are on the Pinny lean.

I simply do not agree with this. If I did than I would not be betting. Maybe I throw around the word pinny lean a little too loosely. It is more about betting off market numbers and using Pinny as the market indicator.

I usually make between $2-5 a bet profit on average so it should and will work itself out. I look at how quality the wagers are before the results of them, as that means every bit as much to me as the results.

When you are betting around 1,200 plays a month streaks come and go (just didn't expect as high 18). I have to the conclusion that the biggest weakness of gamblers is looking at and judging anything after not enough occurences. Betting with an edge is betting with an edge and the sport doesn't really matter as long as that market has high volume to establish a number that is accurate. Betting bad numbers should always win after the luck has been eliminated (at least that is what I keep telling myself, LOL).

Pinny lean would be Marlins +131 so you are on the Pinny lean.

Marlins opened at +110 and shot up to +133.... that's a Pinny lean? I guess I was mistaken as to what it meant.

Pinny had the line -131/+123 right before game time. When you can find a line that scalps with the Pinny line than you bet the bad line (in this case Florida +131) at square book. You use Pinny's numbers to dictate what the right number should be and you bet the bad number at the square book. That is it in a nutshell!!

good luck and go Florida (I have them also +130)

I have to ask, does every sport then have an edge by using the Pinnacle lean? I would think that some sports are different than others because people bet differently in each sport. In other words, the Pinnacle lean may not be as strong in one sport as another.

agree if you are just playing value plays at other shops that are slow to move (And using Pinny as your book to monitor the movement in real time) then yes that is a long term winner as you already know and have experienced. If you have a line that pinny is hedging one way and sitting on all day (ie the lean) in hoops that can be a sign that its a positive expecation play, in MLB I dont see that nearly as often.
