    MLB buys for 2021

    No buys yesterday. Posted plays went: GP 0-1, -$100; BB 6-3, +$145 GP spots continue to slide. If they drop below 1k I will drop the play. BB continue to profit, 9-4 this week, but only +$145 as the Astro's 2 losses burned $600 profit from other games, which is WHY you should never lay -300 on...

    NBA 2020-2021

    Here's the situation/question I faced yesterday: "RF's are 3-0, I have an edge there but is it enough to risk a play when I'm down? On the other hand, I'm running out of time, if I'm going to beat the post season I have ground to make up." The answer was clear - "running out of time" and...

    MLB buys for 2021

    Recap: 1-0 Record: 60-61, +$1,148 Nailed that one. You don't win too many bets when your team only scores 2 runs, especially in a place like Coors Field, but Pit played their part perfectly for me last night, scoring zero; 0-7 on Monday's now, and 5-13 vs lefties. Posted plays went 3-1 for no...

    Recap: 0-1 Record: 16-18, -$340 Can't find fault in my buy, I had strong #'s in my favor, in a few different categories. Only regret is I was in that situation I loathe - stayed off a play, it wins, jump on it the next day, and . . . Didn't play these same stats Monday and they won. Today...

    MLB buys for 2021

    Recap: 0-1 Record: 59-61, +$1,048 Review: Looking at the box score, you might think the loss came because the TB bullpen blew a 2 run lead when they were just 9 outs from the money. But, it was their right-fielder who was to blame (I actually watched an MLB game for a change so I know what...

    Jane, Thanks for stopping in. If you're thinking of betting on basketball (or any sport) as a hobby, have fun. Start with small $ limits, and see how it goes. It's a learning process. If you're thinking of betting as a primary (or even secondary) source of income, think again. It is very...

    MLB buys for 2021

    Betting on a game is a decision. NOT betting on a game is just as important of a decision. I'm entering the last day of what I said would be a week of buying every play and not picking and choosing my spots. And yesterday's decision to not buy anything was a really good call as it would have...

    NBA 2020-2021

    No buys yesterday. All in all, a pretty disgusting game. We're supposed to be down to the four best teams in the NBA yet we're seeing quarters of 14, 15, and 16 pts??!! And no, for the most part, it wasn't good defense. It was poor shot selection and lousy shooting. If you put up 14 points in...

    MLB buys for 2021

    No buys yesterday. Posted plays went 3-2, would have picked up $136 if I stuck with the "Buy every game that qualifies" strategy, but would have been down $100 from Wednesday so not much difference. Record: 59-60, +$1,202 Updated charts: GP: 57-47, +$1,539 BB: 118-86, +$3,035 GP has been...

    NBA 2020-2021

    Recap: 1-0 Record: 16-17, -$230 Okay, got another unit back by utilizing three strong stats: Sides/dogs now 4-16, RD's 2-13, WF 5-14. Today: Sides has LAC, WF has LAC. This is a tricky one because Phoenix opened -1 but now there are pic 'ems readily available as well as LAC -1. So again it's...

    Yes, the news is usually bleak, but . . .

    Update: Okay, I just looked at the whole article. I only used it for the headline, as a representative of the story, chosen from 9-10 articles from yesterday. I didn't know it had that many cleavage shots. Still, no nip slips though, so should it have been posted in Mojo? I am unaware of the...

    Yes, the news is usually bleak, but . . .

    I just checked the "Mojo" forum, it's for "adult" stuff, eh? General forum seemed to be about news topics, I shared a news item, not nude pics, but if this is the wrong place then move it to where it belongs. Also, the General Forum gets a little heated/argumentative at times (a reflection of...

    MLB buys for 2021

    No buys yesterday, posted plays split, 1-1, no gain, no loss for not buying them. Today: GP has KC, Cle, SF BB has Phil (gm 1), LAD With $1,202 banked I'm playing on house dime, but that's no reason to play loose. I don't like any of these spots enough to buy one, so I'm off today.

    Recap: 1-0 Record: 15-17, -$330 Review: Okay, got a unit back last night. Wasn't easy to ignore the system stats I had, but in the end, going with my gut feel analysis on the game turned out to be correct. Had I lost I would probably be doing a write-up cursing myself out for ignoring my...

    Yes, the news is usually bleak, but . . .

    Yes, the news these days is almost always dark, ugly, even apocalyptic at times. But, every once in a while, a feel-good story comes along that unites us all, regardless of race, religion, or political point of view. A story that makes us all think, "What a great time to be alive!"...

    MLB buys for 2021

    No buys yesterday. Taking the day off was the right move. The LAD (GP) and SD (BB) plays cancel each other out, making it a 1-2 day with the NYM win and losses on Sea and Pit, meaning I saved $100 by not sticking with the "Play every spot this week" strategy. Updated charts: GP 56-44, +1,738...

    NBA 2020-2021

    Recap: 0-1 Record: 14-17, -$430 Review: Close, but no cigar. With 5 minutes left in the 4th I had a very good chance at staying Under IF it didn't turn into a free throw festival, but six made FT's in the final 17 seconds killed me. Not to mention the Bucks inability to rebound and close out...

    MLB buys for 2021

    Recap: 6-2, +$580 Record: 59-60, +$1,202 I guess the W on the early game did "portend" good things to come. Yes, I escaped with a 6-2 day, but it could have just as easily been 2-6. Four of the games won by only 1 run, and at least two of them - KC and Wash - were RD teams that saw the HM team...

    Recap: 0-2 Record; 14-16, -$320 I'm not doing anyone any favors with my NBA play; sorry. Down 3 units is no big deal in the regular season, but post season is getting shorter, fewer games left means fewer opportunities, and last night's 0-2 hurt, puts me in a bit of a hole with limited chances...
