Rocky is on TV, gonna be hard to turn this off. Set for record and turn over to ponies.

FYI, won my first horse race ever 23 years ago. Bet on the horse because of it's name "Dusty Roads"
So much to watch today.

Star Wars marathon, Rocky marathon, Kentucky Derby, playoffs.

Becoming one of my favorite weekends of the year.

Welp, the decision to not foul and the T'Wolves deciding to run out the clock saved my $20 bonus bet (for now). It voided because I added Denver +7.......and it even looked like two MIN players were discussing whether to score there at the end. Now THAT would've been a bad f***ing beat.

Now just waiting on the Dodgers to not completely sh** the bed and lose by 4 runs............ :D

Mulling a few other MLB plays. After a few summers of frittering away football and CBB profits on baseball, I have been doing really well on MLB. Up 9 units on the season, which I will take any day.

I really like OKC -5 tonight, but this Celtics game has me nervous. Also took Kyrie over 24.5. Playing the under 6.5 in the Avs/Stars too.
 
Don’t chase losses. Don’t chase losses. Don’t chase losses.
My wife asked me the other day how the sports betting was going, and I said “It’s going well, I feel like I’m less stupid than I have been in past summers.” It’s not about picking winners, it’s about not picking stupid losers.

I was wrong last night about Sonny Gray and the Cardinals. That doesn’t make it a stupid bet. Taking a live O/U or run line on that game trying to break even, that would’ve been a stupid bet. In my opinion, the biggest obstacle for sports bettors is avoiding those kinds of pitfalls. Chasing losses, doubling up, etc. will take a 55% hit rate (profitable) to 50% (losing) in a hurry. This will be almost 5 years since I started taking this seriously, and I wouldn’t say I’ve gotten better at picking winners. I’ve gotten better at avoiding losses.

On a bit of a cooler lately, all because I posted several days ago that MLB was going well so far. So I’m hoping for the reverse pivot double-jinx today.

I've had a miserable few weeks. Trying to slowly build back. Got a couple small parlays tonight. Trying to tell myself to not bet hockey. It's quite unpredictable and the playoffs have been highly entertaining without betting interests
 
Nugs f'ing me over tonight. Did not pick them to win, but I had some player props and they decided not to show up. I'm going for the Wolves in game 7 now.
