Jack is still out of town. One conditional play today. I only recommend it if you can get a good line as specified below. Good luck.

Current Bundesliga Record: 1-1, -6
Current EPL Record, 1-1, +29
Current MLB Runline Record: 1-1, -235
TODAY?S UPDATE:
I was looking back at my records and I really cannot remember a night where I had two plays and both pushed. That is especially true given the fact that at one point in each game my play looked like an extremely strong winner, only to nearly lose both plays. Ahh, the beauty of handicapping.
I have not played anything yet today, but there is one game I will play if I can get the right line. Good luck.
8/29 MLB Plays: (All lines from CRIS)
Toronto vs. CLEVELAND Under 8 1/2 -115 230/200
Note: I am not playing this game unless a book where I am funded drops their line to at least -105. At -115, which is the best price at a book I currently have funded, I am going to pass. I know that seems silly in a way and I know if I don?t play it and it wins I will be disappointed. The important thing here is that in the past I have been too loose in playing lines that were off what I wanted to play them at, and long term that hurts. Today I am taking a stand. Either I get the line I want, or today goes down as a pass.

THE ESSENTIALS
Before you bet on any game there are certain things that must be taken care of if you want any chance at making money long term. Please make sure these are taken care of before you make any wagers.
MONEY MANAGEMENT
1) ESTABLISH YOUR BANKROLL. This should be the amount of money you can afford to lose and are willing to lose wagering on sports.
2) TRACK ALL WAGERS. Track the following categories at a bare minimum: wager, spread, line, sport, sportsbook, risk amount, win amount, result, cumulative bankroll.
3) NEVER WAGER MORE THAN 5% OF YOUR BANKROLL. Except on rare occasions. In those cases, which should total less than a handful each calendar year, keep your wagers to 10% or less.
HANDICAPPING
4) DON?T BET FOR ACTION. Bet only when you find a legitimate reason why it is a strong wager.
5) DON?T CHASE LOSSES. Do not make additional wagers just because you lost money recently.
6) BET WHAT YOU KNOW. Only bet sports and wager types that you feel comfortable with.
7) HANDICAP THE WHOLE GAME. Don?t rely on one stat, trend or part of the game in your handicapping.
