Keeping focused and sticking to your strengths are important in the long grind of gambling. Right now I am winning in the areas I am working hardest at and the results are rolling in at a steady rate. Now is not the time to let the foot up off the gas. Keep the nose to the grindstone and squeeze those small profits out of +EV situations as they will add up and provide a cushion when the ball doesn't bounce your way. I am excited and ready for the Australian Open next week in tennis as I think that presents numerous opportunities for profit.

Discussion and Summary

Going back to a previous day's discussion about what you do when your capping is flat out wrong:

Tuesday looked like one of those days. Briefly glancing at the scoreboard at night, I saw I was on the wrong side of a few blowouts. It kind of surprised me after looking at the games and I thought it would be a disastrous day. By all means, it wasn't a good day. However, you have to accept there will be losing days and betting within the bankroll avoided what could have been an outright disaster. I tend to try and focus on the positive, winning bets and look at what I did right there in order to duplicate it in the future.

It is important not to get caught up in the day to day swings. There will be winning days and there will be losing days. Comparing it to the stock market, I like to say that it goes in a crooked line upward.

Discussion and Summary

Just a few quick points:

-My college basketball has been very disappointing to me. Usually it is a strong point, but it is quickly become a sore point.

-Not at all happy with myself getting a bad number on the UNLV/CSU total and losing because of it. This is not a mistake I should be making.

-The Kohlschreiber/Ferrer match was a walkover (forfeit) and never started. For those new to tennis betting, this is a refund/no action in all cases.

- Women's tennis is becoming my strong suit or at least has been thus far. I have a pretty good read on a few girls and am using that to make some profits.

On to the next day.

Some of the posts labeled 1-13-09 are really for 1-14-09. I can't go back and edit them, but you can figure out by the time stamps I made an error on the date. I lost anyway. Just saying.

Back down into negative territory on this roller coaster ride. Taking a short break here to freshen up, refocus, and recharge the batteries. It is important not to force plays when you are losing and doubly-so when you are getting bad numbers, losing close, etc.

The mind works in funny ways and the psychological challenges can often be the biggest ones in this game. No need to panic or make matters worse. Refocus, take a breather, and get back to work.

My strength again lies with women's tennis. In fact, it may be the only thing I am winning at right now. I go in the plus on the women and give it back with the men and on other sports. Right now the sample size is way too small to make any conclusive data and the +/- is in line with standard deviations. Something to make note of, but not panic going forward.

Note: The Woerle/Petkovic match was graded a loss. Two complete sets were finished and Woerle retired down 4-0 in the third. She would have lost anyway, but like I said before check the book for specific rules by sports.

By any account a pretty disastrous day. A few unlucky matches turned what would have been at worse breakeven into a -5% of bankroll type.
Looking at the silver lining to this cloud, it could have been much worse. Staying within the means and not overbetting meant a small loss instead of an avalanche. We learn some things and move on. This is not for the weak of heart.

Discussion and Summary

Mentally, it was very important to have a winning day. After struggling for a while anything on the plus side is welcome. Despite the small win, it was a welcome sight and a little bit of burden off of the shoulders. Another important thing that I continue to stress is getting a good number. The CSU/AFA game opened at 127 and closed at 121.5. The game landed on 123. Depending how good or bad a number you got, you could have won or lost either way. Getting a good number is very important in the long term.

15-yards for unnecessary use of Youtube.

After further review, the fact you are excited and the fact you get one "Balki" reference per year by rule, the penalty is overturned.

Yep, watched the first four games and gave up on it. He was inconsistent and erratic. Crowd was pretty into it for both sides too. Shoulda tailed MC on Lu, nice hit there.
