Do you suffer from the Posting Jinx???
In the past I have posted all my plays for a sport and at least been able to hold my own, even getting a 3rd place in the bowl contest (my one highlight so far). I have made a bunch of money, up about 80 units since October so things are going quite well.

But lately, when I post the occasional play (either hoops or baseball), it inevitably loses. Now, I win a lot and would say I'm on about a 55-60% overall clip for the last 6 months or so...but when I like a play enough to post it, it doesn't come through! Makes me want to take the other side of my own posts...

Anybody else suffer from a posting jinx?

The opposite is true for me.

When I post my plays, my faders lose their shorts.

In order to help them not lose, I am taking a break from posting my plays.
