The reason I bet the past two nights even though I didn't like the card was due to strong information regarding games. I try and keep my gut/emotion out of betting decisions. I had a bad night two nights ago going 3-4 spreading money around, so I basically doubled up the following night with 1/2 the bets based on the fact that I have had a strong showing in picking sides this year. Stupid maneuver on my part and if there is one weakness I have it's playing games that I have word even if my gut says no. But then I guess if it were that easy nobody would smoke. I'll try and limit the posts I make on here to games that I feel strong about.

No need to worry about posting only your strong plays (every play you make should be a strong one ;) )
Regardless this is how I do it as well, and I think of the 3 or 4 plays I have posted all have hit.
This I personally believe (only posting your strong picks), leads to people either not believing my record since I havent posted all my plays so dirsegard my play as junk, or they see that I am doing quite well for myself in NBA and so they make the decision to take my play into account when analysing if they will bet it or not. Either way, I prefer to just post the ones I feel great about, cuz I would feel remorse if someone tailed me and lost.. but one thing that all of us love is when you post some commentary on your picks (which I dont always do either) but if you dont feel so strongly about it, mabye make a comment about it, why you dont feel strong about it, or something, who knows someone might come along and give you some good info to make you feel better about your pick or something that will make you begin to rue your pick, either way you come out learning a bit more about analysing plays :). LOL I just realised I sounded like im preaching here, which please dont mistake me for someone that has their **** together on this stuff i am just on a good lucky streak as far as im concenred.. I just didnt want to see you get discouraged from posting your plays, its what makes this forum great, and has made me enjoy coming here
