I enjoy the thread move it or not golf is a long season and you will pick up more golf guys as the season goes. If you keep it going.

You may lose a few semi-touts but you may develop some new blood which  would be cool.

BOL either way thanks for you efforts.

I believe the majority of covers members want to win and make money, while enjoying the action of sports wagering . This thread will help all of us obtain all three . This is the best thread that I've ever come across. There's lots of money to be made if we all stick together and bang the books. Without a shallow of a doubt, we keep this thread going. It's an asset . Thanks Bubba & USC as well as all the other contributors. Without this thread, I would've never met TFS. I'm a believer , let's get it !

Hi Bubba,

Yes, I agree let's keep it rollin!, but only if you have the time. I bet it takes a lot of time to keep up with this thread, standings, following, and addition making your own wager, so I repeat if you have the time to do it then let's go full steam ahead! Remember that baseball is mostly wagered on money line, so I suggest if we can raise the money line to -150, there would be more games to play on! what you say?

The only NBA game that jumped out at me was the Bulls down to -2.  I think this team for the first time all season is playing with a little bit of urgency.  If Butler plays his game and shoots close to the basket they win and cover.  Saturday night, United Center, both teams clawing at the bottom of the playoffs, there is going to be a lot of energy in the house tonight and you hope the home team can feed off of this.  Going to see how that first period of hockey goes as well with that game but those are my plays and leans so far.  None of those are $$$$s.

GL Bubba

In comparison Villanova has four capable scorers causing headaches for the Sooners D. I don't think this game is even close I see the Wildcats winning by double digits.

BOL Fade or Follow

PS YES keep the thread going


Well I capped this one perfect . What an behind kicking lol

not the way I pictured the score going over 144 or even 145 as it was before game time, but I won't complain winning $$$$. I know we can't do more than one $$$$ play per day, but I'm hot going 5-0 recently, so I'll put my 2 cents in and say I'm backing Cuse +9, 9.5, 10 or wherever you got it. We've seen consistently over and over this year that it's very difficult to beat the same team 3 times in one season, Cuse has dropped 2 already to UNC, they'll come prepared for the 3rd rematch. This game is their's to lose if they don't take good shots. The moneyline at +400 gave ridiculously good odds, I got it at +350 and I believe it's a VERY positive expected value play. Win or lose, Cuse will win at least 1 out of every 4.5 times these teams play, and thats why the money line is a good bet if your time horizon and bank roll is large enough to handle swings.

Yes -- to continuing this wonderful thread.

Yes -- to keeping separate records for pre-MLB and MLB records, as MLB is a VERY different and difficult beast to tame.

Seldom are cappers good at other sports AND MLB.

Suggestion -- publish the pre-MLB records once a week on Mondays only; keep the MLB records up to date each day for the rest of each week. 

Many MLB series starts on Mondays, so it's a logical day with which to publish pre-MLB records.

Less work for Bubba, yet the separate records would keep things in perspective.

Yes -- to getting others to help Bubba out, to 'pinch-post', as it were.

Yes -- to moving this thread to the MLB thread for the MLB season, then when football starts, move it back to the NCAAB thread.

There are a number of really good cappers and good guys in the MLB forum, so I think that they'll welcome us.

Troll Control -- and I think that there are enough solid cappers here in this thread to shut down any stupid trolls who may try to eff with us.

Even though my last few $$$$ plays have been utter crap, I vote to keep the thread going as long as you are able to to put in the daily effort Bubbaski.  Many thanks, it is a thread I try to read through most days.

One thing I might suggest as a modification to current rules?  Since baseball uses all moneylines, perhaps it would be best to remove the -129 ML cap on bets.  To make up for it, I think records moving forward should indicate partial units to compensate for picking + lines versus - lines.  For example, say Person A has a record of 10-5 and picks Yankees -180 as his $$$$ play.  Yankees proceed to win.  His record goes to 11-5.  Now say he picks the Yankees the next day at -170 and they lose.  His record will record 1.7 losses due to the high moneyline and be 11-6.7.  Vice versa, say he picks a +150 team the next day and they win.  His record goes to 12.5 - 6.7

Or, it might be easier to just keep track of leaderboard in terms of units?  I don't know, just throwing it out there, as baseball is a sport where a lot of winning cappers benefit a lot from picking their spots on tasty +130 - +200 lines here and there.  Most winning cappers do not touch baseball lines past -150 or so, but there are always exceptions.  I would just hate to see it where majority of $$$$ plays go to only favored teams, as there is a lot of potential alpha in baseball betting for the dogs.

Posted at 12:00 PM EST. 

Regulation only. Let us preface this by saying that Detroit and Philadelphia are tied for the final Wild Card spot.  However, Philadelphia has two games in hand on the Red Wings and the Flyers play an afternoon game today against Ottawa. When the puck drops in Toronto tonight, Detroit will know the final of that Philly/Ottawa game and no matter what happens, this one is an absolute must win for the Red Wings. A loss to Toronto and the Red Wings can kiss their season goodbye.

We were all prepared to play the Maple Leafs against Mike Babcock’s old team here figuring that Babcock would do everything in his power to knock Detroit out of the playoffs. We also know how much these Maple Leafs’ players love their new coach and we figured they would go out and play their hearts out in support of Babcock trying to knock out his former team. Imagine our surprise then when we saw that Mike Babcock elected to start Garret Sparks instead of Jonathan Bernier. Bernier is red-hot at the moment. He was the Leafs goaltender in Detroit on March 13 in a game he kicked aside 38 shots and Toronto won, 1-0. Bernier’s save percentages over his last six starts look like this: .941, .938, .920, .933, .963 and 1.000. Meanwhile Sparks was the 4-1 loser against the Sabres on Thursday. Over his last six starts, Sparks has posted save percentages of .917, .833, .868, .765, .889 and .889. The Leafs did not play last night and they do not play tomorrow either so it’s not a back-to-back situation for the Leafs net-minders. It is extremely obvious that if Mike Babcock wanted a win badly, he would turn to a very hot Bernier here instead of Sparks.

Mike Babcock left Detroit on very good terms. He loved coaching that team and the fans and players loved him back. He won Cups with Detroit with guys that shed blood, sweat and tears for him. Guys like Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Niklas Kronwall and Jimmy Howard to name a few. Babcock loves those guys, as they have formed lifelong friendships and a mutual respect that goes far beyond the locker room. They are like family. Do you see what we’re getting at here? By starting Sparks instead of Bernier, Babcock is giving the Red Wings their best chance to win this game and that is the most telling fact about this game. We’re not saying the Maple Leafs are tanking but it’s obvious that Babcock is doing the Red Wings a solid. That promps us to step in because Garret Sparks is not NHL materia



Tuck, I haven't had a chance to look to see if anyone else has commented on your post, or not.  I want to say I think it was a great post!  It was extremely insightful and knowledgeable.  The fact that it won fairly easily was the icing on the cake.  Thank you!!

Question For BK On Soccer~

I have tailed your recommendation for the Over 3 in the Brisbane/Jets' game -- thank you for your $$$$ play on that.

I've never bet on soccer before, so this is a first for me.

I was looking at the side play and see an option for a -119 play (5Dimes) on Brisbane @ -1, -1.5 ... so I'm wishing to make sure that if Brisbane wins by one OR more goals, this one wins, right?

Or is it a push at -1, a win at -1.5?

Obviously the -1.5, +109 play requires a win by 2 OR more goals.

In NHL hockey a -1 play on a team that wins by 1 goal results in a push with a cancellation/refund of a bet.

And it's my understanding that if one picks a soccer team to win SU in reg in a ML play, and the game results in a draw, that the draw/tie results in a loss of the play, right?

Check out this amazing thread here that clearly shows the differences between baseball and all the other sports, with the exception of the NHL that is quite similar to MLB.
