Second losing day of the second round.
Since my last 4 unit win (5/6 Dal -2 2ndH) I'm 0-3-1 on my last four 4 unit plays. Fortunately by sticking with sound money management the losses don't hurt as much.

excerpts taken from a blog entry I wrote:
"Do not concern yourselves with the battles and focus on the war."

"... I [an individual] was betting $100 per game Thursday, Friday and Saturday and made $600. On Sunday I decided to up my bets to $300 a piece in the morning and went 1-2 and lost $360. Since I was down over $300 dollars for Sunday, I bet $700 on the Sunday Night Game. This way I could win back the $360 lost earlier in the day and still show a Sunday profit. Well, the Sunday Night Game lost and now I am in the hole $530 for the week ..."

"...that individual failed to accept that Sunday was not going to produce a net profit for him (the battle). Instead of realizing that Thursday through Sunday was a great success that netted a significant profit (the war), they chose to lose site of the overall plan."

If you make a plan and stick to it you'll take your losses in stride.

"Although the percentage a bettor uses varies the standard or suggested percentage is 2% with a maximum of 5%. So let's say you use 5% to define your unit. With a $500 bankroll you would have to lose 20 plays in a row to go bankrupt. No matter how bad you may run you minimize the possibility that you'll go bankrupt by adhering to unit play as it's defined. If you used the suggested 2% you would have to lose 50 in a row before you had to reach for your wallet. Understanding that bad runs are inevitable I believe it's safe to say that no one has ever lost 50 in a row (and if you have you may want to consider another hobby) so what does that mean? It means never going bust. Never going bankrupt. Never reaching for your wallet. It means a lot. ..."

BOL to you all going forward.

EDIT:
I just noticed that on 5/04 (post #178 page 12) I posted aYTD record of 91-62-4 +54.80 units 59% .
I then proceeded to go 4-5 -3.00 u. that day.
The next day on 5/05 (post #187 page 13) I posted a YTD record of 91-62-4 +51.80 units 59%.
As you can see although I correctly edited my YTD units I neglected to do so for the YTD wins and losses.
Below is my corrected and current detailed record.

Great post above about the battle vs war. I'm doing my best with this in MLB, but find myself betting a little more than usual lately with the inevitable shut down of most sites. That being said, I'll probably find a new hobby if it ends. Any thoughts to what you might do?
