It all turned around with a dream... literally.
Over a week ago I was sitting here posting my picks for the Oakland/Boston series in Japan. In game one, I took the over and got lucky. In game two, I got dumb and made stupid plays. I fell back and started looking at my account and the picks I had been posting on here, mainly the college basketball ones. And I realized that for some reason the picks I put up here were not doing nearly as good as my account was doing. Maybe I was picking the wrong plays to post? Maybe I was overthinking the plays I posted? I don't know.
So I decided no to post and just to worry about myself and my own pocket. Saturday night, right before I went to bed I was determined to take the Braves -1.5 for the Sunday night opener in Washington. I had nooo doubts that I was going to win and I even was thinking about posting the play. But when I woke up... I remembered a dream I had... and in that dream, the Nationals were winning 5-2 in the 7th inning against the Braves.... now some of you may know I've had numerous sports dreams and I've posted some up here. But I play them and they've won more than they've lost. So after this dream I decided to completely do a 180 and take the Nationals +1.5 which I got for even money right before the game started. The final score may not have been 5-2 Nationals, but it was 3-2 Nationals, not only did they cover, they also won the game outright.
And that set the path for where I stand today, at 10-2-2. Here are my plays since then...
3/30:
Was +1.5 - W
3/31:
Az ML - W
Cle -1.5 - W
Mets -1.5 - W
SD -1.5 - W
Hou/SD o7 - L
4/1:
Tor/NYY u9 - W
Mets/Fla o9 - P
LAA -1.5 - W (7 of the 8 games this night were 1 run games, only this one was decided by more than 1 run)
4/2:
Det -1.5 - L
Bos/Oak u8.5 - W
Az/Cin o8.5 - W
Tor/NYY u9 - W
Chi/Cle u9 - P
You don't have to give me credit for these or even believe them. Those are in the past just like the horrible plays I made for the second Japan game. Now we look ahead, but before we do, we look around therx and see the average records and some really bad ones.
Last April and May I went from betting $25 a game to laying $250 to win $100 on the Padres with Jake Peavy on the mound and ended mid-May up $5-$6,000. This year, we are off to another good start. And hopefully I will get to share it with you.
What's the secret? No secret. Just do the obvious: baseball is a game of numbers. So bet by playing the numbers. Matchups, injuries, momentum, etc., put all that together and you will come out a winner more often than you will come out a loser. All that being said, you still can put all the best info together, have a feel for a certain play, and it is the best play possible, but it can still end up being a loser, obviously. This is gambling, not math. There is no formula that will be right 100% of the time, or 90% of the time, or even 70% of the time. None. And if anyone tells you otherwise, 1) they're lying to you, 2) you're a moron for believing them.
All this being said, I'm going to start looking at the early games for Thursday now. If I see anything I like, I'll post. If not, so be it, we wait until the later games. I could go 3-1-1 today or I can go 1-4 today. And I know a MAJORITY of you would love to see the latter or worse so you can talk smack, and thats awesome. Just remember one thing, I'm not here to make fun of anyone or say I'm better than anyone in particular. I'm just here hoping my success continues and those who have helped me with winners before, and everyone else, can hopefully benefit from my plays now.
