30 Day Challenge

I have been mostly inactive for the past few months for various reasons, but I am back for the next 30 days. That is the reason the title of this thread will be the "30 Day Challenge". But, there is a twist to it: I will be posting MY picks, but in reality I will be fading those same picks. I have done this a couple of times, albeit on a smaller scale, to some good success.

The concept is to stop if at any time it gets on either side of 20 units, positive or negative (hopefully the latter). All of the picks will be in MLB, and there will be picks posted daily with all likelihood. I will actually be handicapping these games, so they will not be random picks.

Please do not come in here telling me that this is a horrible idea, or whatever. It is my own time, and my own money. However, I welcome any support or comments people might have on a daily basis.

This will start tomorrow, June 3rd and run through July 2nd. Remember, though, it may be stopped prior to that if the net units is either side of 20 units.

This is just something I am doing for fun, although real amounts will be used. The objective is to take 2k and turn it into 4k in preparation for an upcoming vacation, while providing some good entertainment value during those 30 days.

See you all tomorrow!

Yes, that is the concept. I will say, though, that there are a couple of other factors I am using in my picks that I will not divulge that effect how this will work.

Remember, though, even though I am doing this for real it is just for fun and entertainment, and any positive cash flow that comes from it will be an added bonus.
