First, just want to say congrats to all of you guys who were able to pull off a profit in week 6, as it was definitely one of the toughest weeks I can remember in my short 5 year "career" of posting plays online. Special recognition to those of you on the Terps and Illini, nice job!
Second, I want to say that I was very disappointed in my performance yesterday, but I don't regret any of the plays I made, because you gotta take the good with the bad, and yesterday there was definitely plenty of bad breaks to go around and then some! I honestly believe however, that over the course of a season, the good breaks will definitely outweigh the bad, so there is no need for a drastic overhaul or anything crazy. I am an early lines and favs player and that isn't going to change because I had a horrible day yesterday, because that is what has brought me profit year in and year out these last five years, so not gonna change who I am now because of one bad week.
I liken it to the stock market, as it will have its ups and downs over the course of the year, but at the end of the year, you are pretty close to guaranteed that you will make money if you stick to your guns, be smart with your money, and take the emotions out of your decisions. This is where money management comes in, as I won't lie, I was very tempted to chase last night with the late games or today with the NFL, but I didn't and won't, because that is not how you win in this game in the long run.
As I always say, this is a marathon and not a sprint, so time to learn what we can from week 5, and then put it behind us in the record books, as being pissed off about it will do nothing but cloud our minds for the journey that is the remainder of the cfb season.
The great thing about this game is that there is always another week right around the corner, with plenty of profit to be made, and this week is even more special because there is basically cfb on every night of the week beginning on Tuesday and running through Sunday, coupled with the fact that my birthday is next weekend (glad I got the horrible week out of the way this weekend vs next as imagine how much it would have sucked to have been that bad on my bday!). With all that said, let's recap the damage from week 5, and then let's put it behind us never to be spoken of again haha...
