regardless what you are betting taking -210 lines is stupid.

let me tell you my views about betting +1.5 runlines with this kind of juice....how the hell do you justify -210 on a team you are not even confident enough will win to bet them straight up.

long-term losing strategy.  You might win this one, but why would you lay -210 on a road team?  Just play the ML.  If you lose by a run, so be it, you don't have to have a ridiculous win percentage to make money---unless you're betting -200 favorites

its not a question because there is no answer.  you will lose in the long run betting juice like that in baseball.

only 10 of the pirates 43 losses have been by 1 run.  explain how that justify laying -215 on the RL instead of even on ML.

idk man... i appreciate your insight.  i like this pick a lot today. they will most likely win straight up tonight , just incase they dont... im betting on them losing by a run . it is what it is. its only 210 ... hit 300 on texas yesterday and the way i look at it is if! If they lose byntwo or more then ill still be up for the second half .... my logic

im interested in this as well..  if you are having success with betting this way congrats, but i have a different view when betting bases...  Right now my record sucks, 128-147, but I'm up +22 units with an avg. play of +131.

i think this play will cash, although this game kind of reminds me of the game Hou had with Texas after texas beat houston like 8 times in a row...  what happend? wandy pitched a gem & houston won 7-0.  He went against Harrison who was really hot and texas had some really hot bats.

I have a tough time betting faves like this because you're not gonna make any money long-term with this formula  -  if you hit 65% betting these prices you're down 5 units over the course of 100 games.  

Just some things to think about, i do baseball a lot different then most, but many have the same viewpoint that betting -200+ is a formula for disaster

like i said bro, wasn't trying to bash you..  my win% right now is very low,  46.4%  128-147-13 ....   +22 units..  all about the units bro, congrats on hitting over 70% though in a game like baseball that's not easy to do.

BRY, having a life is one thing, but to tout your site on covers is a totally different topic. It's a lame fucking site,If it took 5 min to build, is was 5 min to long

Pirates +1.5 (-210) that's thinking outside the box, NOW WE CAN DRINK
