lmao.

You mad bro?

Yeah  - after the fiasco the last couple of days - notably Houston last night where I first lost the RL, then ML in the space of 5 batters unless the starter averages 8 innings, or there is a "good" pen going against a bad one, full game is a no bet for me.

Quality start means nothing anymore.

Almost a month in and I am remembering the hazards of relying on bullpens to hold leads.

You can't even call these losses mooses as on any given day a bullpen or closer is as likely to blow a lead as not.

Time to stick to 1st 5 innings for lines and if I am going full game, bet the totals - usually over unless the starters show they can get a game into the 8th or so.

Sigh.

Ok good stuff - will keep my eyes open for the chances.

Had a tough week and decided I was playing too many games so backed off from the forums a bit to slow me down. It seems to have helped but I do miss the fun!

Yo Pigskin..been following and tailing and making some money back after a crappy week last week, compounded by a losing trip to Nevada.

But something came up tonight that I had to ask about. Sorry for the baseball post but I'm confused.

I played a few dogs to day, one being Oakland at +140. So I'm watching the live play and I notice LAA at +155.

I had $100 on Oakland and decided to put $100 on LAA so will win either $40 or $55.

In this case I was thinking more of a hedge as I thought LAA looked pretty strong but was thinking, is this more profitable in the long run or is it better to just ride out the one bet?

thanks sir and good luck with bets.

Oh man - I just read this in a Bob Uecker voice!!!

Oh yeah - crap...it's that cheap scotch; it confuses me. Good scotch just makes me forget. 

The good news is that right after I broke off Felix's perfect game by sending out a tweet about Felix's perfect game, Seattle scored a couple of runs to go up 2-0.

I am honestly at the point where I can single handedly determine the outcome of a game by placing a wager on it.
Maybe I need to make my picks, then double up on the other side and say to hell with the juice.

Anyways - it will come around again (I hope) just needed to let off a little steam. Sorry for putting a damper on an always chipper thread.

Going to be fading the rest of the way. (I feel like the guy making the dont pass bet).

Heya folks.

Hope all is well. Just catching up on the thread. Also on Seattle tonight - which is not good for everyone as I had about a 50/50 opening MLB day.

Go Mariners!

Duke will score just enough to screw this.
