Day 72

We hit $25,000 in total profit. We are 25% there to the ultimate goal of $100,000.  If I had started with $10,000, we would be at $250,000. I guess it would sound better to say starting at $10,000 and make it 1 million. Not everyone has 10 grand to bet, but what I am showing here is how anyone can make a profit if you can be around 60% correct and have good bank roll management. Not once did I bet more than 10% of my total bankroll. I stayed to about 5%, now I am closer to 3%.  I stayed patient. Trust me, I was not always this patient.

Day 70

I was on a good streak with baseball, but had a bad day, which happens. I am not concerned, because this early in the year, it is difficult to get a good feel on teams. I do not have a lot of time to research, so I am going to go with one game, which I like.

I did want to mention some trends with NBA playoffs. You usually find a lot more defense on those games, so games or more likely yo go under. Teams prepare more and you dont see too much sloppy play.

Another trend is called the zig zag trend. When a team losses straight up, they usually at least cover the next game. This is not a blind theory, so you have to know the team, certain teams fit this criteria. Something to keep your eye on.

Day 69

Happy Friday to everyone. Thanks again to everyone that added comments or sent me an e-mail. I got a great e-mail from a college student who told me that I am helping him make some money. Thats the kind of stuff I like to hear. I have a couple of college students who read my blog. If there is anything you would like for me to write about or share, just let me know. I think I might take a stab with the WNBA this year. I had a great college and NBA year, with a new trend, so I am curious if that will work for the WNBA as well.

Day 68

Thanks to those who responded through comments or e-mail. It means a lot that I am helping others. I've been doing this for over 10 years, and I learned a lot. I think I have a lot to share to help others. I also know that I will improve as well. So if anyone has any questions, please let me know.

If there is one thing that I learned about, it is bank management. Always try to keep your bets to be a small % of your total bankroll. There will always be losing streaks, so you want to be prepared for those, and no matter how confident you may feel about a certain game, try never to bet moer than 10% on one game. I try to keep mine at 3%, and 5% for games I feel real strongly about. With a bankroll of $500, Ive started with bets of $15 and eventually it would build up. One of the biggest errors that people make, and I have made many times is to double up after a loss. Sure at times it will work, but when it doesnt work, you go broke. If you can win around 60% , you will be profitable, just takes patience.

Ok enough with that, let get to the games

A couple of early Baseball games, so I got started on that early. I am going to still keep the unit size at $200 for now. NBA is on its last couple of games, so I might not touch any NBA games, and I still have to look at hockey.
I didn't get much feedback, so I am not sure how much longer I am going to do this.

Day 66

Good Morning to everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. I am looking to take a head count of everyone that is reading or following my blog or if this is your first time. I see a counter of how many people get to my web page, but not sure how many are real people that want to read this or follow. A couple of guys in the past have added comments or sent me an e-mail. If you don't mind, please add a comment or send me an e-mail.
I am really looking to build interest and once I get enough followers, I can get make some money, but I am not sure how many guys are actually following me. So please let the word out. I've been doing this for 2 months and I turned $1,000 into $23,500. 
     I've been betting on sports for 13 years, and I am pretty sure I lost money for the first 10. I am creating this blog to help those getting started. Maybe I wish there was something out there like this when I was losing money. Maybe there was, so help me get the word out. I want to make this huge. I would like some followers so when I claim I turned $1,000 into $100,000, there are people who can back me up and said they followed the journey. I still have a long way to go, only 23% there.

On another note, baseball is looking good, but still early, so I am still going to keep it at $200. I will probably keep it low for another week. Like I stated earlier, I need stats to help me handicap games, and just isnt enough out there right now to feel confident. Basketball is coming to an end for the regular season, so I am going to keep the unit size at $800 for now.

Day 65

Almost had a perfect day. Lakers game needed 2 ots for me to lose on the under. Those things happen, sometimes it helps. We are still flying high, and I am ready to test out my baseball picks. I am going to post my baseball picks, but only for $200 each to start. It is still early, and I might need to make some tweaks. For the past week it has been great, and I have two prior seasons using this method that has worked great for me. So I will take a chance on these and share them. If you do follow my picks for yourself, proceed with caution on them. Once I go up to the full amount, then you can feel comfortable.

On all other games, we are going up to $900 units

Another great day, and we are on a pretty good streak. I am starting to feel a lot stronger on baseball, so look for more baseball next week. We are at a new high since I started the blog, and hard to believe I took $1000 and so far turned it into almost $20,000. I still have a long time to go, but it has only been 2 months, so who knows what the next 2 months would look like. Of course in my own personal account, I am taking some profits out. Even though I am ahead for the year, it is always important to take funds out when you are up.

Thank to everyone who has commented on this blog or sent me an e-mail. Its good to know that I am making some of you guys money. I am sure if anyone followed me, we made some money yesterday.

Day 58

Good Monday to everyone. A pretty much break even day yesterday. I am still off on baseball, but keep an eye on the Brewers and Arizona overs. They didn't hit for me, but I skipped on the Brewers yesterday and they hit. Those things happen. These are the things I look for, and as the season goes on, I will do better. I am going by last years stats and trying to figure out where things have stayed the same. I am not concerened here, but I do hate seeing a negative number.

Day 49

Well Baseball is finally here, and I am always get excited to watch opening day. I am not sure if I am going to bet on any games.

I am not feeling any of todays NBA games, and it seems like everytime I take a side, I am wrong, so I am going to play it safe and stay away.

NHL- Lots of NHL games, but a lot of overs. The end of the season is here, and we're seeing a lot of scoring lately.

On another note, with the holiday coming, I will be traveling tomorrow and most likely will not have access to do research. So I am going to take a couple days off and will be back on Sunday. The regular season in hockey is pretty much done, and Baseball is still early yet, so I dont think I will miss much. If I do see something that I like, I will post it.

I hope everyone enjoys the holidays.

Day 48

College Basketball comes to an end, and we end with a good profit. The total for College is $3,952. Baseball is coming, and I am very excited to see how well I can do there. Thanks to the sweep of Basketball, we had a great day. I am now going to use the unit size of $600. Once again, in my real account, I am taking profits once again. It is so imprtant to take profits when you can. Too many times, I would build my bankroll only to bet too much and lose all the profit.

So within a month and a half I turned $1000 into $14,908. If I started with $10,000, then I would be looking at $149,000. My goal with this blog is to see if I can turn $1000 into $100,000. We are still early here, but if I can continue the same way I am now, I can be there by June. I am not holding my breath on that one, but we shall see.

Day 47

Had a bad day yesterday, but those things happen, so lets move on. I didn't have time to add comments yesterday, and I know I wanted to share what I learned and things that can help you.
So today I want to talk about NBA over lines. I read somewhere a long time ago that when the line is at 220 or above, the game will usually go over. I've kept stats on this, and I think it was something like 73% over. We haven't seen lines that high this year. When the league started, a lot of games were going under. The whole issue with starting the season late and not having a lot of practice was effecting the outcomes. The odds makers have been doing a better job, but the games are now starting to get back to normal. Hence we saw a line yesterday at 217, Minn/Sac, which did go over.  I expect to see more lines like that, and I wanted to share that.
I hope you guys enjoy things like that. There are so many trends like this out there, that I can probably write a book about it. The longer I follow these stats, I find new ones. I also find tons of interesting stuff out there, and every now and then you can get some info and learn something. These trends are not always going to work 100% of the time, so you have to look at opportunity. Now is a good opportunity, beacuse the public isn't all over the overs. So a line like 217 will scare most from taking the over.
