Here's the deal Sparky.  I do not hang out on covers all day and I certainly do not have time to entertain everybody's questions.  If anybody has a certain question feel free to contact me on my covers space.
 
Most of everybody's questions can be answered in any of my previous threads.  I try to stay out of covers for the most part.  Too much drama and too many bashers bashing.  I post my plays because I'm a nice guy and understand many new handicappers need help.
 
My numbers/results speak louder than anything.

Barbs......I have tailed you on many games and you have made me some good money.  I was wondering if you could give us a little insight on today's pick. After capping most of todays games, I have to admit that from my capping methodology I have not found a lot of $$$$$ making games with today's card.................espically not the Sea/Min Under 8.5.  To be honest, the Sea/Min game screams the over and thats were my money is:
 
Seattle Mariners/Minnesota Twins 8/15/2008 8:10 PM - (EST)
Total Points OVER 8½ -120 for Game
C Silva -R must Start   F Liriano -L must Start
Risking 600.00 To Win 500.00 USD
 
Good luck and I look forward to your response!

Ahh, I get it now.  The old double reverse trap.  Way to scope this out.  Vegas always tries these tricks!!  But we can stop them with unity!!

I'm not a fan of using the word "drama" on the computer because there honestly can't be drama on a forum unless it's with people you know in real life. This is a gambling forum, and I understand that you are contributing to the forum, but I just like to see people helping out others with maybe a bit of information for the pick, or a response to some questions now and then. Like Aggies question for example. You say you want to help the new guys, but a big way to help them is to give even a sentence based on your selection to give them an idea of where you are coming from. Thanks basically where I am coming from.

Call now!

B40- Thank you sir for the pick.

I agree,  maybe a little info on your picks help us out too.  We might come to a discussion if the picks is meant to be a winner or not. 

While I agree with barbs about haters bashing all the way.  I must admit I tailed barbs in few of his plays, while i also had disagreed with few of them, sometimes betting against them and winning, so I feel that if I say i do not like his play, people may think i am bashing him or doubting his capper abilities when i am NOT.  I wish him always GL,  respect his pick so much that now, if i dont like it, i just dont play it. 

The guy know what he's doing, and do not deserve to be attacked, EVERYONE has many bad moments during a season, otherwise everyone would be +90% chances of winning, we are yet to see that.  Make your analisys first, then come and compare your plays with the other cappers and come to a conclusion for your plays.  That's how i have been doing and it has worked out pretty well, 16-2 last three days. 

So do not blame anyone but yourself if you failed, because when he does, he does not blame anyone but himself.  And remember if you win, buy him some beer, and the guy will be happy to keep giving you his picks

Good one bro. i do subscribe to line psychology even if i can't describe line psychology all that well. A lot of sports bettors would be lying if they said they didn't. i believe it's part of the oddsmakers process, i.e. when people say a particular line "looks" fishy. that's just part of the psycology i was referring to.  i have also noticed that barbs very rarely lays juice on totals--but who knows, could just be the timing of the price. GL to all and feel free to add more

guys why do you even bother responding to the haters. they all just work for the tout services.   its their job to discredit free service so they can convince idiots to pay them.

so its not even worth your time to respond to them. they are being neg. bec they are paid to do so.

barbs40,
 
Thank you so much for posting your picks and sharing winners on a consistent basis. I for one very rarely make comments in any threads but I want you to know that the time you take sharing your picks is much appreciated by many.

I like the u8.5 for this game. Liriano will shut Seattle down. I have a feeling that Silva will be able to hold the Twins to around 4-5 runs. Twins usually come out slow after an off day.
