My last 5 days have been insane (included on the left), and have me hoping this kind of rush isn't a once a year thing. I'm feeling very confident about baseball season coming up, as its usually my best sport.

Not trying to burst your bubble, but it is different with real money. If you don't care about the money then there will be no pressure.
Are you betting on NBA and NCAA. If it is just NBA it seems you have too many bets a day. Of course, I can't tell if you are betting half times, etc... If so, then you aren't placing too many bets. But, if it is all NBA then 14 bets (without arbs or middles) is a lot.
Don't assume that if you do good in one sport you will do good in another. Baseball should be easier to beat since there is less juice, but there is no guarantee.
As far as 500 bets at 55% ATS and lines of -110, there is no way we can say you are a definite winner. In fact, if you are laying -110 (fake money or not) and not getting the best line, the chance is that you are at best break-even. Once again, the fact that it is fake money also skews your numbers a bit. If you are betting 1% of your bankroll will you feel comfortable having 14% on the line for one day? You won't know until then.
I think it is great that your record is 55% (if you did that over 3 seasons I would pay you for picks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), but put some money on the line over the next 500. It doesn't have to be the full $110. But, even $22 would give you some idea of betting real money. Also, you can practice line shopping and clear some bonuses slowly. Those last two things should increase your ROI by a significant amount.
