I am two weeks into my quest to gamble 365 days straight. I really don't think it will be that difficult. But this blog is meant to just be about gambling in general and the everyday ups and downs and swings of a poker player and sports bettor. I will however recap the first two weeks to get you caught up to speed!
Week 1: (4-09 to 4-15)
Monday:
Lost $25 on baseball/basketball
Won $34 playing poker
Tuesday:
Lost $5 on baseball
Lost $106 playing poker
Wednesday:
Lost $10.50 on baseball and basketball
Won $322 playing poker
Thursday:
Lost $11 on a basketball
Won $120 playing poker
Friday:
Won $2 on baseball
Won $35 playing poker
Saturday:
Won $7.50 on baseball, basketball, and Nascar
Won $68 playing poker
Sunday:

Week result +$491
I was pretty happy with the first week. Obviously If I can win $500 a week for the whole year,committing to it just part time it will be an extremely good year!

So
that is where I am at two weeks in. Up $635. Not bad. If it were not
for some sick, cooler hands on Tuesday at the poker table it could have been
even better. I am running well though so no complaints so far.
I had a nice time in the Bay Area visiting my friends. I had Sushi on Saturday night which is a pretty new experience to me. It was decent but the chop sticks are just ridiculous. Not a fan. Then on Sunday the A's won and we had a nice bit of fun in the sun watching that. A foul ball was caught by a guy three seats to my right! Damn when will I get one!? I have caught two batting practice homerun balls but never a live action ball. Oh well, many more games to come I am sure.
But it is back to real life which means office job by day and gambling at night. I am really looking forward to playing poker tonight! I am feeling confident and the game has been good in my local club lately. I will play while sweating a couple of sports bets.
Today I have a couple of bets placed. I like the Rangers -117 (1.17/1.0) today against the Yanks. The Rangers are on fire right now and Sabathia is on the hill for the Yankees who is struggling so far. He has done well against the Rangers historically, but he has struggled early and the Rangers are crushing lefties so far this year. Texas always plays tough at home and the Yanks are coming off a series at Boston where they are always in a playoff atmosphere. Maybe it is a letdown spot. I also love playing streaks in baseball and the Rangers are streaking out of the gate so far!
I also like the Spurs tonight -13. They are rolling right now. They are blowing teams out and and winning ATS as well. They are 36-13 ATS in their last 49. That is a hot streak. The line also moved down from 14 to 13 when maybe it should be at 15. They also have the added motivation of clinching home court advantage tonight. I like it for 1 unit (1.1/1.0).
I will report on the results tomorrow! Happy betting!
