I'm going to go ahead and officially stop blogging for the rest of the month. The next post will be for October 1, posted on the 30th of September (at night).
The blog finished 31-9 for this month (77.5%), 45-10 in August (81.1%), and 76-19 (80.8%) overall.
Next month I am going to try to get this blog more organized like it was in August. Below is a post I put up a couple of days ago going into a bit of detail on what I plan to do.

I think I'm going to close this blog down for the month here pretty soon. I can tell traffic is slowly starting to fade. I will get some picks up on here though a little later. I will probably stop on Monday. So the 26th will be the last day I post picks.
I have gotten a lot (a lot) of emails from you about how I feel about certain picks and how confident I am in them. I think next month I will try something like a "confidence rating" or something corny like that that. For instance...
Pick #1 Tampa Bay Rays
dadadadjavbkjvfmabnfamkvfmaklfmabfa,fkabmfabfabfambkfb flkabf akbfa.... (Do my whole writeup thing)
At the end of the writeup put- Confidence Rating: 86% (or however sure I am about the prop)
And of course that would be ranging from 1-100%
Just to kind of give you an idea of how good I feel about a particular pick.
I will probably post a poll on what you guys think about it. I think it would be a pretty good idea.
Next month I am going to try to get on more of a pattern/schedule as far as getting picks up at a certain time. This month I got so busy and didn't even take time out to get organized and put up picks at a consistent time like I did last month. They were always up in time before a pick, but you guys had no idea what I was thinking for a pick and had to just keep checking in and out of this site.
What I will probably do is post something at night for any morning or noon props for the following day, and then something around noon or the afternoon for an evening/night pick.
Thanks to everyone who follows and supports this blog. Over 110,000 blog views is increadible for just the first 2 months of this thing starting up.
Enjoy your weekend, Streakhelper
Awh don't stop just yet Streakhelper, your really pretty good. Though I've only been playing SFTC seriously for about 4 months, I have come to really enjoy your writeups and expert picks. I come to your blog almost daily since you started up. You gotta hang in there for those of us who wanna bring down the BrewCrewFan/Juggalo cheater. You can't quit on all of us now that its getting down to the home stretch. I believe in you and your picks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Moe,
ReplyDeleteI may stretch it out a little longer for those of us with decent streaks. Also I want to test this "Confidence Rating" thing I'm trying out. Thanks for following!
you do a pretty damn good job with the picks you make. but you rarely get any up, a couple different times ive nearly bailed on this blog for good bc over half the time i visit, its not up to date or you are saying you are too busy to post anything.
ReplyDeleteits cool, i know u are busy and not getting paid for this so no hard feelings or anything, but thats why you are losing views, get picks up everyday if you wanna keep people around.
PS 1: tried being more careful this month and followed your advice on occasion, currently at 27-8 for the month, which is one of the better months ive had in the 2 years playing the game.

PS 2. seriously no hard feelings, your picks, although few and far between, are usually right, and the whole confidence thing is a great idea btw
I totally understand Herp. I'm going to take care of that in October. August I stayed on top of it really well, but in the last couple weeks I've really slacked off. I usually got up about 3 or 4 a day, and I am going to try to go back to that and spreading it out as best as I can next month. Thanks for following and I hope someone following this blog will eventually win the cash.
ReplyDeletehonestly with the records you regularly put up i wouldnt be surprised to see you or someone who follows the blog to at least make an appearance on the board.
ReplyDeletei do a good amount of research before my picks an do well as a result but i definitely spend more time on it than i should, cant even imagine writing a page or so everyday on top of that, i hope i didnt sound harsh or anything with my prior post i meant it to be more constructive than its reading now that im seeing it a second time. my apologies and keep up the good work
No not at all man. No need to worry. I'll take any criticism I can get, harsh or friendly. There is always room for improvement and hearing from you guys really help me get some good feedback.
