Just wanted to let everyone know, my lifes commitments have become too time consuming that I no longer have the time that I need bet my own baseball selections.
I was out of town on the road for almost the entire month of July and a good portion of June also.
I am home now, but I have found that I am too much out of the loop to catch up. And even if I did take the long hours to catch up, I would end up in the same boat later on with further time constrants later on that I would be right back in the same situation that I was in before.
Things were going really good at the begining of the season when I was always home, but the last 2 months has just been a bunch of nothing. I want to end it now why we can still say that we had a decent season.
The final numbers was around +32 to +35 units. Did not add up the final total, but its somewhere around the number.
Im not complaining one bit. These commintments have made my overall life much better.
Im getting to where I want to go in life. Doors are opening in my life right now that I never thought were possiable just a few years ago.
With better things going on in life, sacrifices must be made in other areas. One of those sacrifices is I must give up capping baseball for the 2007 season. There is just not enough hours in the day to do all the things that I need to at this point in my life.
This will not be my first of 2 or 3 im done for the year threads. This is 100% the real deal. I am just too far out of the loop right now. If I were to come back and bet my own plays at any point the rest of the season, it would be nothing more than ego and pride. I have no business betting money on baseball games right now. I just dont have the edge that I need to be succesfull at this point in time. It would be the highest class of arrogance and stupity for me to countinue under these circumstances.
I have always taken heat for speaking from the heart. I always tell it like it is, wheather its popular or unpopular. This has served me well in life. Believe it or not, no matter what kind of heat you take for speaking your mind, when all is said and done, when its time to go to war, people always want a strong person that tells it like it is 100% of the time. I will take the possitive with the negitives any day of the week. Its who I am. Its who I always will be. Dont need to change, dont want to change.
As with every new beginning in life, the beginning is always the hardest and most time consuming. My life is changing in every way imaginable. I remember the days when I had nothing better to do in life but sit around a computer all day and crunch numbers and scrutinize every last play till I was blue in the face. I remember the days when I would average 400 post a week at this forum talking about baseball and any other thing under the sun.
As for right now, those days are temporarly over. Dont have the time to invest in this like I use to.
I think by next season things will settle down enough for me to get back into capping these games the way im supposed to.
This is not a farewell for life speech, its a see you probaly next season speach. I dont need a ton of time during the season to bet baseball games, I just need to be around the baseball scene pretty much uninterupted for the whole year. That could not be done this season. I feel like a QB who showed up at a new team in week 8 of the season with no preseasons with a new coach. Im just too far behind to catch up. It would be pointless to try to catch up right now. The only thing I can do at this point is call it a season and look forward to next year.
And last but not least. I would like to thank the many followers and posters that have been on my side since day 1. Thank you very very much. It has been a joy the last 4 years posting back and forth. You guys are the best of the best. I thank the detractors and haters to. As much as I went back and forth with you guys, you always made the forum more interesting in your strange kind of way.
Im sorry we could not have the big 100+ unit season that I was hoping for, but at least with good money management we all came out on the + side for the season. Thats easier said than done.
Dont feel sorry for me in the least. Life is going great for me right now. Not a single complant. The only negitive in my life right now is having to temporarly give up one of the great loves in my life in betting baseball games. But the rewards that I am getting for making these sacrificies is ultimatly going to be worth it.
Im not done here at the forum. I will still be around as a regular poster. I just dont have the time at this moment for the fulltime commitment of capping games. I will be around to talk baseball and football. I will be around to follow some selections from some of the many fine cappers at this site.
So in closing I just want to say thanks for all the good times. To the followers I want to say thanks for believing in me, I never took that granted. I hurt like hell when I have a bad day. I have always felt like I let many people down when I have a bad run. 2006 was really bad. Im glad I could make up for that in a small way.
See you in 2008, and go BRAVES!!!!!
