Sometimes, weekends turn magical and you go on incredible runs. Over Saturday and Sundays plays, we ran out +35 units while only risking 5U as our MAX plays. All plays found @Jerryboknowz.
Speaking of MAX plays, let's touch on some things. When we mention the word MAX, by no means am I insinuating dump out the account or max it out. We use the word for people who don't like to flat bet and like to step out of the box some. If you're a long-term gambler sticking to a unit system (or percentage) is vital to sustaining a bankroll.
Now, Let's be honest, some of the systems out there suggest never betting more than 1% of your bankroll. So to do that properly, if you had a $1000 bankroll, you are only making $10 wagers. Over time, this can suit you well, but for the novice bettor, moving the needle $10 at a time isn't exactly exciting.
So when I reference the word MAX, it's for those that choose to step out some and want the confidence behind the given picks I give out. If I'm extremely confident, that I'll tag it just that. If Im not overly confident but have a strong lean, a 1U play is what you will see.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
