You had a real nice Tuesday. I noticed.

[FishFanInPA]

Weak card today.

Fish +1.5 (-130)

Played two unders today in the O's and Reds games but I won't count them on anything.

[Namaste]

I know they struggle vs Moyer but I got JJohnson last night @ -105.

I'll take Johnson at that price everyday and twice on Sundays (I really did play it twice too lulz!!111)

Pretty hard to not take JJ @ -105 right?
--------------------
I'm on UNDER 9.5 BOS/NYY tonight.

Right, but I can see why the line was what it was.

UNDER got a little hairy at the end but all's well that ends well.

I'm on FLA laying big chalk tonight (-155). I think thats the biggest wood I've layed all season.

[FishFanInPA]

Tonight, i took an odd bet.

Home teams -2 (-110)

[FishFanInPA]

Fucking Mariners. No matter what side I have in their games they either shit the bed or smack the shit out of the ball.

Had the moneyline tonight for them and thru 8.1 innings it looks great then Aardsma shits the fucking bed. So fucking frustrating.

Still crunching #'s.......

It's a selection

The MattWilsons are getting smoked

6-0 NYY 6-1 in the 7th

How many guys in this country got buried with the FLA RL tonight? Ouch. So not necessary.

Godpadre,

you have to post your plays BEFORE the game starts to earn Godfather status

This way we bounce ideas off/tail/fade each other.

:wub

[FishFanInPA]

Give me:

Rays/O's Under 9.5 (+105)
Twins +120
Nats +1.5 (-105)

THURSDAY BASES

FLA -117

Wow the total in the FLA/HOU game tonight was 9.5

How many guys who had the OVER want to swallow a bullet right now.

So.Many.Chances.

[Namaste]

Contrarian angle play:

NYY -1.5 (+120)



Close (3-2 NYY) but this isn't hand grenades.

Nats +1.5 (-105) :thumbup

Depending on how those do we'll be back with an evening slate.

[FishFanInPA]

Under 9 NYY/BOS

[The_Godfather]

NY Mets +180 against Sean West.

[Namaste]

NY Mets +180 against Sean West.



If there is any play on this game, NYM +180 is the way to go.

I wouldn't lay -210 on West/FLA right now if it came with a free back rub.

[Ramp]

I don't think this game is worth anything to look at besides the over.

[The_Godfather]

3 team Parlay:
Chicago Cubs (Zambrano) -280 vs. the Nats
Dodgers -1.5 (Kershaw) vs. the Rockies
Detroit Tigers (Washburn) +155 vs. the Angels

Yet another 1:00 game at Landshark goes OVER the total.

[FishFanInPA]

Daft did you try and get your free $50 from BetPhoenix?

[Madman81]

ehe, Fip did you just learn about BP?

[FishFanInPA]

I did one of their other free trials and lost all my monies. So i'm doing it again.

[Madman81]

BP is a fantastic operation on their way up, and by up, I mean very up.

[Namaste]

Daft did you try and get your free $50 from BetPhoenix?



No. I wasted most of my week on a complicated, on-the-fence, pain in the ass chick.

[FishFanInPA]

they've fucked up a few of my RHE bets but i like the new engines.

[Ramp]

I think I like the Red Sox -1.5 (+160) tonight against the White Sox

Most of the Red Sox kill John Danks and their bats have been red hot as of late.

Danks in his career against the Red Sox: 6.06era 0-3, 0-1 at Fenway with a 6.00era

[Namaste]

SFO -125

[FishFanInPA]

Angels -1.5 (+100) Santana has lost only once to the A's.

Hey man I just try my hardest to hit 55% of my picks.

The game is in San Fran

[Ramp]

YOU HEARD ME!

(im an idiot)

[FishFanInPA]

Yeah, I hate when it gets that low. Bullpens ruin low numbers.

I'm on:
Indians -110
Yankees over 9

[Namaste]

My handicapping style is very different from yours though to be fair.


All I needed to see was

A) the lowest total of the season and

B) the fact that you have to pay a premium for the under


I was sold.


Who knows, COL could score 7 runs in the top of the 1st and someone might go "yikes"

[Ramp]

i would go with zoinks

[FishFF]

Zoinks 6.5

[The_Godfather]

Phillies (Pedro) +105 vs. Braves (Hanson)
Nationals (Lannan) vs. Cardinals (Smoltz) over 9.

[FishFF]

Marlins -140

[Madman81]

Phillies (Pedro) +105 vs. Braves (Hanson)


This is very much for me. I'm in at +108. I like the Phillies lineup at home against Hanson.

[Namaste]

SFO/COL UNDER 6.5 (-120)



The game that can't go UNDER 6.5 just finished up 2-0 SFO.


Zoinks.

[The_Godfather]

You know you're a true gambler though when even after winning you're still pissed because you think you should have bet more.

[Madman81]

8D

You know you're a true gambler though when even after winning you're still pissed because you think you should have bet more.

The part where our handicapping got tossed out the window by that delay and made it a luck-of-the-draw game was not for me, but the outcome was. I was very pleased with Lidge for not ruining the night.

[FishFanInPA]

Not much to like today:

Orioles EVEN (Backing Tillman)
Braves +1.5 (-135) (Lowe's got good numbers vs. the Phillies)

[Madman81]

Taking the run line ever is not for me.

[FishFanInPA]

Any thoughts on tonights game? At first I leaned Under but then the Braves intrigued me.

[Sandroimbuto]

took Rays +140

[FishFanInPA]

I'm playing a hunch:

Over 8.5 Phi/SF (+105)

[Namaste]

SAN DIEGO +1.5 (+122)

You gotta do it. Dodgers are not a -300 team

[Namaste]

The last time a Timmy total was 6.5 I went UNDER and hit.


On Tues it is once again 6.5 but we're going OVER this time (-120).

I think San Diego can score 2-3 runs in this game and SFO will have some miracle hits/runs late.

6-2 SFO

[Madman81]

I despise bases this time of the year

[FishFanInPA]

Astros RL

[MiamiHomer]

I tried out a three team parlay today since I had made some cash over the weekend on college football.
Rangers -1.5
Yankees -1.5
Cubs -1.5

Rangers up 2 in the top of the 9th, going to be close.
Cubs rocking the Pirates early 7-0.
Yanks have a 1 run lead early hope that offense comes on soon like it has lately.

Off to intramural football practice so I hope to get good news when I get home.

[Sandroimbuto]

Took Dodgers -1.5 (-120)

I suck at MLB betting, but I'm riding a hot streak from all other sports...hoping it carries over. Dodgers have a great matchup, looking for Manny to break out of his slump against Buckner.

If you like $$$, don't place too many 3 team RL parlays.

A 3 team parlay is hard enough to hit let alone giving 1.5

But I wish you the best

And the yank's end my hope at the parley winning 3-2 on a Swisher walk-off solo shot, if only Arod had got on right before that.

Oh well, at least I got the Toronto game at +175

I've hit the over on FLA season win totals so many times now that it's like, "meh".

It's like a part of my life now. Books still just don't get the fact that were not a bottom tier team.

It's the closest thing to free $$$ in gambling for me personally.

What do you think about the UNDER in SFO/COL tonight (7.5)

I already made the decision but I want to hear your feedback before I tell you what I did

[FishFanInPA]

I'm not touching it as I already played SF but i'd lean to the over. Both pitchers have had some issues with the other team and De La Rosa hasnt started in SF this season.

[Madman81]

I don't often bother to post plays here, but if I made a play that coincides with one someone here made that cashes I will mention that.

tell me why thats not tasty outside of the Rays losing streak

[Ramp]

don't really like the mess with losing streaks
--------------------
So been doing alot of thinking lately (I'm sure you could smell the wood burning)... Anyway

I was thinking of an idea that seemed like it's a pretty surefire way to make money

Whenever there is a team where the favorite run line at -1.5 is in the + money, you bet on both said team -1.5 and the underdog (which obviously should be + money also.

The only way the bet would lose, is if the favored team wins by 1, which can happen but it's the only way you could lose. If anything else hits, you would win. I'll start tracking this tonight, just to see what if

Tonight's games would be:
Marlins -1.5 (+135) Reds(+100)
White Sox -1.5 (+130) Mariners (+110)
Rays -1.5 (+130) Orioles (+105)
Red Sox -1.5 (+125) Angels (+145)

I'll play $100 (FAKE) dollars on each game, see how it goes

Yeah I've heard of that system before. I'm interested to see your trial on it. I think one of the issues is about 25-30% of all games are 1 run contests

No, you tend to fade the public.

I don't like the idea of caring which way the public goes at all.

[Namaste]

No, you tend to fade the public.

I don't like the idea of caring which way the public goes at all.

But if the majority of the public is dumb (for lack of a better word), why not at least care a little if you don't care a lot?


How about a different angle. Would you care to know which way the sharp money is going on a game?

Yes. And I generally do. I don't think tailing sharp money is equivalent with fading the public.

You were the first thing I thought of when I saw his post.


:h2r

[FishFanInPA]

I know it doesnt count but I played two of those tonight. Unfortunately Doug Davis didnt start in Arizona so that got returned to me. I took the over in Chi/Mil too. Easy money.

Get the right WHIPs for pitchers and your golden.

[Ramp]

except that walks don't help

[MiamiHomer]

They increase the chances for more runs though.

[FishFanInPA]

Base runners help.

[Ramp]

while they(walks) help, you can't just tell things by a pitcher's whip

[FishFanInPA]

Giants -121 (Cain vs. Davis)

Waiting to pound over RHE's in Toronto and Cleveland

[FishFanInPA]

Over 26.5 RHE in Arizona
Over 27.5 RHE in Cleveland
Over 29 RHE in Baltimore

Also threw down on Balt/Tor being the highest scoring AL game and Hou/STL being the highest scoring NL game

[MiamiHomer]

CY Young Jamie Moyer +109 against the fish.

[Ramp]

same, also took over 10 runs at EVEN

[MiamiHomer]

CY Young Jamie Moyer +109 against the fish.

You want the Marlins to win every game? Have me bet on the opposing team, it's bulletproof.

[FishFanInPA]

Over 26.5 RHE in Arizona
Over 27.5 RHE in Cleveland
Over 29 RHE in Baltimore

Also threw down on Balt/Tor being the highest scoring AL game and Hou/STL being the highest scoring NL game

1-1 with the Arizona game being real close to over in the 3rd inning.

[Namaste]

How much did you all collectively lose on the Marlins game two today?

[Ramp]

$100

[Namaste]

Swift do you have any more stone cold locks for MLB today? :mischief

[Swifty]

I blame Miamihomer.

And come on, when you get the Phillies as a dog behind Moyer in Miami, it's a smart bet. I don't mind losing, I hate making dumb bets.

[FishFanInPA]

I'm taking:

Jays -115
Rays/M's Under 9 (-120)

I freakin warned you all..just ask Fip, he prefers I don't tail him anymore!

[FishFanInPA]

I looked at today's card and hated all of it. First time that I actually went thru every game and didnt like a damn thing. The only play im making is:

Toronto +1.5 (-125)

[Namaste]

Ok so I placed my World Series wagers today:

$350 on NYY @ +180

$100 on COL @ +1200

$100 on PHI @ +500

$100 on STL @ +500

FRIDAY DOUBLE DOG PLAY:

The Double Dog play makes a nice profit (even though we were 1-1 on the day) as the Pirates beat the Dodgers 3-1.

MIN/KC Over 8.5 (-115)

[Namaste]

Ramp remember that system you tried out?

Betting the big dog then the RL @ + $$$ on the other side......

It doesn't work because since 1990, 30.7% of ALL games have been decided by 1 run.


Losing twice 30% of the time is not good for the checking account.


I know you know it doesn't work but I just wanted to expand on it.

[Ramp]

Yep

kinda like betting both sides in soccer when both get + money and hoping for no tie

[FishFanInPA]

A couple of Big plays:

Fish +110
Fla/Phi Under 4.5 1st 5 innings
Rays -120
TB/NYY Under 5 1st 5 innings

[Namaste]

Twins are -160 on Tues at 5:05 PM
--------------------
A couple of Big plays:

Fish +110
Fla/Phi Under 4.5 1st 5 innings
Rays -120
TB/NYY Under 5 1st 5 innings



At least NYY scored 10 runs in the 6th. Spared you from having a complete train wreck.

[Metes]

Just a little refresher, I've got Yankees +200 and Angels +800 to win it all.

[FishFanInPA]

Yeah Daft. Certainly didnt expect the Yankees playing their starters. Figured they'd cruise.

[Namaste]

Ok so I placed my World Series wagers today:

$350 on NYY @ +180

$100 on COL @ +1200

$100 on PHI @ +500

$100 on STL @ +500


MattWilson reminded me to do a memory refresher.

[FishFanInPA]

Over 8.5 (-110) -- Someone's getting the quick hook tonight.

[Swifty]

So much money on the Twins today, I'm thinking I'm going to take the Tigers' money-line.

[Namaste]

So much money on the Twins today, I'm thinking I'm going to take the Tigers' money-line.



Yeah. For me, it's Detroit, the UNDER or it's a no play.

[Ramp]

my heart says Twins.... that place is gonna be rocking like nobodies business

but my head says Porcello and Cabs gon nut up and win

[FishFanInPA]

I hate my over already. And it's funny, i'm an under guy and hate taking the over yet that's what i went with here because i felt the under was too easy.

[FishFanInPA]

Over 8.5 (-110) -- Someone's getting the quick hook tonight.

Maybe no one got a quick hook but I accounted for two bad pens and hoped they'd fuck it up.

[Swifty]

I took the series lines on the Sox (-125), Cards (-145) and Twins (+325, come on, you have to be on that in a 5 game series).

I also took the Rockies moneyline for game 1. Lee's been garbage lately and the Rockies have probably the best pitching matchup they're going to get in the series with Ubaldo on the mound for them today.

[Metes]

Cardinals -140

Yankees RL (-170)

[FishFanInPA]

Phillies -127
Dodgers +1.5 (-135)

Also, since it's windy as hell here today, I'm taking the over (9 1/2) in the Yankees - Twins game.

LAD/STL UNDER 7 (-120)

Considering MINN +1.5 @ +160.

Can't believe how much steam there is on this game.

Giving a look at NYY/MINN OVER 9.5 also.

Wind coming from the west @ 30 MPH

A +1.5 and +2.5 play on MINN is blipping on my radar screen right now. Holding out for a few more clicks.

DOUBLE DOSE OF **LOSS** ON THE NYY game.

Very rarely will I not play a competitive team that is getting +160 @ +1.5

Glad I stayed away from the OVER. Would have been a triple dose of fail.

[FishFanInPA]

I've got LA +1.5 (-135) and now I added Cardinals +1.5 (+130) from live betting.

[Namaste]

A runners LOB fest in LA has given me a shot at the miracle push on the total.

5-2.

Can I has 3 outs please Jonathan?
--------------------
aaaaaannnnnnnnddddddddd there goes the push with 2 outs in the 9th.

[FishFanInPA]

2-1. Shouldnt have tried to cover myself and had faith in my pick. Price was too good not to though.

Another split bill. Eat a dick Franklin.

Good call on the Rox MW

[Metes]

Ramp put me up to it

But when you consider that Hamels sucks this year, it's not a hard choice

[Namaste]

Another split bill. Eat a dick Franklin.



Just watched the game on DVR.

Don't you mean, eat a dick Matt Holliday? :confused

FRIDAY

MINN +1.5 (+120)

Under 10 in Min/NYY. Hoping and praying the good AJ shows up.

[Metes]

Don't you mean, eat a dick Matt Holliday? :confused


One error does not a blown game make

Still gotta make pitches and not walk dudez

This is the playoffs, play like a champion

[Namaste]

Well the game was overz if Loliday catches the ballz. Just sayin.

How about this, Franklin and Loliday can both eat the same dick.

[Metes]

I think we can agree on that. Plays today Daft?

[Namaste]

I've never been so upside down on plays before Matt. I don't know which way is up or down.

I have a small play on MINN +1.5 @ +120.

[Metes]

I think I'm just going to abstain today. Considering a ML play on Twins, but probably gonna just stay away. I think LAA/BOS could go either way.

[FishFanInPA]

Yeah the Sox game is a toughie. At first i liked Boston but I think the Angels get over the hump. My only play is a Yanks under.

[Namaste]

The late game will be a first for me. I'm going to fade myself.

I capped the game. Spent 25 minutes on it in fact. Came up with LAA as the winner.

We go BOSTON -103


*it should be noted that at the time I capped the game and made this post, I did not know the outcome of the NYY/MINN game in which I have MINN +1.5 (+120) because I was out, DVR'd it and am watching it now.

DODGERS +148

Definitely an outside the box pick but I like the value.
