You may want to fade me today, because I am going to pat myself on the back here. Today the blog officially doubled the account balance in about 3 months. It may not seem much to turn $1,000 into $2,000, but when you are only betting 3% of your bankroll, it is huge. For me, my personal goal is to make a living doing this. If I had a starting bankroll of $50,000 and I bet 3% like I've been doing, I would have made $50,000 in 3 months. My goal would be to make 6 figures and this seems very possible. Now I am not going to quit my job and move to vegas just yet. I got to do this for a long time to prove to myself that I can do it.

Before I go into the picks, I wanted to talk about an agressive betting strategy I have used in the past. I like it, because you start with a small balance and always bet half of the balance on a heavy favorite. There will be losses here and there, but you can win 15 or 20 times in a row easy, and with this aggressive betting style, you can make some bucks. It is not as bland as my 3% betting strategy, but it works. I have started with $100 and turned that into 3 grand, 1 grand, and once even 5 grand. Last year I was a pig, had the account up to 7 grand, and then lost. It was at 3500 and then I lost again, still walked away witn a grand. Of course I have lost a lot as well, but I am pretty smart about picking the right games. Lets say you think the Lakers are going to win their next 7 games. They wont be huge favorites, but you can use this for the 7 games and make a lot if you are right. Sure there might be a loss mixed in there, but as long as you keep the bets to 50% you should be ok. Just start small just in case your wrong.

I am going to start tracking this for fun. This will not be included into the blog balance.
