Heartbreak Hotel

Good Afternoon,
Heartbreak Hotel is one of my favorite Elvis songs, and it sure did apply today.
We bet on the Minnesota Twins to be leading after five innings. We lost 1-0 as Tim Lincecum is pitching a masterpeice for the San Francisco Giants. Through five innings, he has already stuck out nine players.

As I mentioned in today's writeup, he is capable of doing that at any time. Betting on Minnesota +160 was still a good bet.

I take a loss in stride and move on, and that is exactly what I will do here. I admit that I really wanted this game so that my clients and I could reach at least eight units of profit this month. We can still easily do that if I have a strong finish.

Eight to ten units per month is what I consider to be a solid, but not great month. Right now, clients are still in the plus column which is good.

There is nothing magical about having a great month, by the way. The only difference between an average and a great month is that we end up winning a lot of these one run games. That cannot be predicted. If I keep handicapping the way I do, then that will happen.
