Babs, fun thread and I agree with you almost 100%. I often see fishy/trap lines that I have to play the other way. Im usually positive most weeks, and definitely most months, although not millions or anything. However, the last two days have hit me pretty hard, mainly two main plays which I feel like you should have been on if you do play your theory.
Yesterday was the Cards. Opened at -175 and closed at -140 with the world on them. The Cards coming down to 140ish? Trap right? WRONG. Two days ago was the Reds. Everybody on the Giants and it goes from 155ish down to 135ish. Play the Reds right? WRONG. And neither +1.5 runline hit. Maybe you didn't hit those but I did, and got murdered. Still finished plus for the week but it should have been more.
With that said, I liked the O's and Rays at first glance and will probably be on them. People love the Angels at home and the way the Rays just played in Seattle, they should be fade material. Everyone loves the Angels even with an iffy pitcher on the bump. However, gonna play the O's small or maybe not at all, as other sites I do see public on them, not the A's at a nice price.
And for whoever it was that said pound the Dodgers at a low line, NO SHOT. Another possible trap line. Might be on the Giants for a little.
that doesnt count pirates r beyond horrible
