I have decided to start posting my plays in the forums. Up until now I have only been sending them out to a small group via email. I am looking at this as a venue to keep me accountable and hopefully help others make a few bucks.

Please consider the following if you decide to follow my plays:

1. Money Management is crucial. I do not put more than 1% of my bankroll on any one game.

2. I don't play just listed pitchers. All my bets are action.

3. I don't put any more weight on one game over another. I would NOT RECOMMEND picking select games based on my handicapping. I would play them all or none.

4. I have tried to develop a system that fits into my lifestyle. I have a full time job so I try to get my handicapping done by around 2:00 - 3:00 every day but cannot always do so.

5. When I do put my picks out, the line will be based on 5Dimes line at that time. Juice is extremely important in winning but when I make a pick, if the game is a -110 I would play it just the same as a +150. I hate when you follow handicappers and they put out a line that is not truly able to be wagered.

6. I have 2 different systems that involve playing the same games. One game is a straight One Unit per game system while the other is a modified Martingale system. I prefer the Martingale system myself as I believe it has shown better potential for more units. However, with more profit, comes more risk. I believe in both of them.

7. I realize that this is my first post and as far as the forum is concerned I am 0-0. I am going to start my record where I am currently at right now. I have no desire to alter my picks from the past. The results are what they are and so be it.

8. Finally, have fun and enjoy yourself. If you aren't doing that then you are probably wagering more than you should be. Good luck to all.

"2. I don't play just listed pitchers. All my bets are action."

You lost me at this one. As an example, I would never bet -160 on Jered Weaver only to have him scratched for Trevor Bell or some other rookie that is not worth -160 action. I am not trying to start shit, but don't lead people down the wrong path. Good luck with your plays.

Blake,

Thanks for the comment. I know exactly what you are talking about, however, the systems that I have worked on developing do not put the same weight on pitcher as what most other people do. My goal was to find criteria that I felt comfortable playing a team whether the listed pitcher was scratched or not. I am sure you are not the only person that disagrees with me and I thank you for your comments.
