TUESDAY: RECAP

I started this blog on November 21, 2011 with a $100,000 bankroll, with $10,000 cash on hand and $90,000 in the bank if I needed to dip into it. I never had to go to the bank as I got off to a lucky start. I bet all the plays on here but I graded the plays with the worse line out there. Sometimes I won with a better line than was posted (and the line used here was a loss) and those winnings were not counted on the blog. I bought a car with those winnings. On December 13, 2011 the fund balance on this blog reached $164,406 and I removed the starting balance of $100,000 off the table just playing with sports book profits since then. My balance this morning is $70,654, all profit.

I usually just have one bet, from 20 dimes to 100 dimes. 100 dimes is 11% of the bankroll. Dimes are just a way to manage the money. You cannot deposit dimes in the bank so I like to use real money, real lines, not phony dimes to keep track of the bankroll. Brandon Lang is down 6,393.45 dimes lifetime at his website, thank God he is using dimes as if he used real money he would of been broke along time ago. Fading Lang was golden in December as he went an incredible 19-36-1, losing 1,129 dimes. Everybody that faded Lang in December is a winner. Everybody that faded Lang in 2011 is a winner. Everybody that faded Lang lifetime at his website is a winner.

I have been fading Lang and sometimes following other cappers. If you want to see degenerates in a sports book, it will be the players betting parlays and hockey. Money management is more important than the games themselves. But you have to win more of your big games than you lose. All our guest handicappers yesterday were losers on the day except for Mr. Lang who was up 15 dimes. Lang gave out a losing over/under and a parlay pick to get his customers ahead on the week. His customers would of been better off with just his top pick. Less is more, never bet the board and never pay for a pick!

I hope you have enjoyed this blog. Check out the links for more information.
