Major League Baseball is in full swing now but first, let’s look at march results.
For March we ended up +5.775 units for the month.
MLB +1.34 UNITS
NHL +1.985 UNITS
College Hoops +2.6 Units
NBA -.15 UNITS
College Hoops is behind us now and we had a dismal season. After 3 very strong seasons in College Hoops, we could not repeat and it was downhill from the start. It did not help that I added a new subset of games that had a very high volume of plays that I ended after about a month. This contributed substantially to the poor season.
In March I went back to basics, what worked well the past 13 years, and we rebounded with almost a 6 unit gain.
In April for MLB to date, we are -2.41 Units. But that means virtually nothing as its a very long season. I am optimistic this season will be a very good one in MLB!
I have been asked what to expect in the way of information during the MLB season.
Aside from the plays I send out every day, which include the overnight plays that are sent out between 2 and 3 PM PST and the regular plays that are sent out usually an hour or so before the game, I also send out a breakdown each morning of the games for the day.
Here is what I sent out yesterday to subscribers:
