I learned a long time ago that when your bets just aren't coming across for you, the best thing to do is either step back and let a few pass you by or just slack off a bit, but keep at it. I had a few days where I couldn't seem to buy a win with my MLB picks. It gets frustrating, but eventually, if you stick to your system, the tide will turn and you'll start winning.
Yesterday I had a lot of picks I was liking and decided to jump back whole hog and laid down five picks at once. I resisted the fool hardy parlay play and just bet them all on the nose. I had a couple of tough losses, namely the Toronto Bluejays and Houston Astros, (who would have figured the Astros were going to lose that one) but my Tigers led the to a profitable 3-2 day and the bank grew slightly.
I've also had no luck so far with picking CFL action, well maybe a little, but two losses beats one win so back to the ole drawing board with Canadian Football. I'm hoping for a better day today :)
