Been a nice week off with no investments at all.  Remember I don't chase loses and it has been a losing month thus far.  I keep grinding away, always do and always will and have moved on some complete ugliness tonight.  If you follow me regularly it's hard to watch the teams I move on, but remember at the end of the day it's what adds to the bankroll that matters and ugliness equals money.   2016 Total Overall Units +108.96 2015 Total Overall Units 481-433 (52.6%) +197.09 Units DBB (Drock Best Bet) in BOLD 2016 – 101-83-3 (54.5%) +55 units August – 5-6 (45.4%) -8.40 units July – 8-4 (66.6%) +15.07 units June – 8-11 (42.1%) +5.54 units May – 17-11 (60.7%) +16.58 units April – 16-11-2 (59.2%) +13.17 units March – 16-13 (55.1%) +11.51 units February – 17-11 (60.7%) +10.2 units January – 14-16-1 (46.8%) -12.16 units 2015 DBB– (138-121-4) overall (53.2%) +71.69 units 2014 DBB– (43-35-4) overall (54.5%) +38.23 units 10* GOY (all time) – 5-0-1 (100%) +50 units MLB: First Pitch 7:10pm EDT GM 955 Phillies ml +150 (Sportsbook) risking $200 to win $300 CFB: Kickoff 10pm EDT GM 292 Hawaii +20.5 -110 (Sportsbook) risking $220 to win $200 CFL: Kickoff 10pm EDT GM 305 Roughriders +13.5 -110 (Sportsbook) risking $440 to win $400 GM 305 Roughriders ml +625 (Sportsbook) risking $200 to win $1250
