Wow, it has certainly been awhile since my last blog…almost 2 months! This baseball season is certainly not one that I am proud of thus far as I am nowhere near the units I have accumulated in years past. However, I am still showing positive units won and there are a lot of handicappers out there who would love to be up 19 Units at this point in the season.
What is the reason for this? Well, Underdogs in baseball between the prices of +100 to +160 have always and traditionally won 45% of the games played. That has not been the case this season as that percentage is off around 4%. Will it correct itself? I am not sure. But all I can do is to stay the course with my handicapping style. I am not going to change anything. I have made a few tweeks. Bullpens this season are by far the worst they have ever been so I have been placing more weight on them in my selections. I had lost countless games after the 7th inning this season…moreso than any other season I can remember. But I will keep churning and I fully expect to dominate baseball the rest of the way.
Football is right around the corner and I am certainly looking forward to it. All my time away from baseball has been preparing for the upcoming football season. And, I will begin preparing for the Basketball season at the end of August.
I continue to urge all my clients to use strict money management principles when investing in sports and remember the only way to make money in this business is NOT by the selections but in the way you manage your bankroll. If you do that and I cannot stress it enough, you cannot help but make money. If you are losing money right now, you are not managing your bankroll correctly. it is that simple.
I will try to update this blog more than I have been but preparing for football and also handicapping baseball with the season being in full gear, time has been my enemy.
To all my clients and prospective clients, I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend.–Bob
