MLB - Thursday 4/8

WOW Terrible start 1-1 & plus money - I don't see where you see he bet LAD? Where are your picks with all of your 20 posts?

CINCINNATI  -100 (1.75 units)

VERY well put. It makes you wonder... doesn't it?

Somewhat Gramma like??

I mentioned something in the Help Forum, Weebs took care of that clown.

Scorp, it had to be said bro, surprised it took that long for someone to mention it lol...

Weebs is solid - quick trigger, surprised he didn't do something sooner. 

Gamehunter,

I have a quick question, if you would be so kind....

I also liked the Cubs, O's, and Mariners for values as dogs today.  However, the line has moved pretty drastically in all three games.  With the Cubs game, it has moved a full 20 points since early this morning.  My question is this, with a line moving down on the dogs, I assume this represents heavy betting on these dogs and therefore means that a majority of the public is on the same side as you.  Now, this may be completely off-base, but I try to stay away from the same side as the public due to the majority's talent for picking the loser of a contest.  Is this solid logic or not?  I know that the dogs still represent a value (even at the reduced line) and your system is based on betting values, not picking winners, but does it concern you at all to see the public on the same side that you are on? 

I am simply trying to learn more about BB handicapping, not questioning your method at all.... just trying to gain a better perspective.  If you have the time, I would really be interested in your response.

The cubs and the O's are both great values but you have to pray and hope that their bullpens can hold and close out the games.

I hardly like to make a first 5inn play but it seems like these two plays would qualify.

Any thoughts?

haha
