wow! That is completely wierd.. was it cancelled before the game began? what sports book?

[John Ryan]

For Sunday April 22, 2012

5* play Houston +122 playing the Dodgers. Dodgers are 4-17 (-13.1 Units) against the money line in road games after allowing two runs or less two straight games over the last three seasons.

5* play Kansas City +103 playing Toronto. Blue Birds are just 29-45 (-18.9 Units) against the money line after having won 2 of their last 3 games over the last 2 seasons; 18-29 (-14.1 Units) against the money line after having won four or five of their last six games over the last two seasons; 13-27 (-15.7 Units) against the money line after two or more consecutive wins over the last two seasons.

5* Pittsburgh +114 playing the Cardinals. Play on all NL dogs with a money line of +100 to +150 and is a team with a terrible on-base-percentage <=.300 and with a starting pitcher whose gives up 0.5 or less home runs per start and is now facing a very good starting pitcher with a WHIP <=1.250.
(34-15 since 1997 for 69.4% winners and has made +27.6 units per one unit wagered.

Like the Plays JR, I think the Royals will pull a win at home vs Toronto today or tomorrow and avoid the 4 game sweep at home, lets get them! Scares me betting on such a terrible team like the Astros but ill roll the dice with ya.

Apparently it's not weird at all. 5dimes has a policy starting this season that both starting pitchers listed when selecting a game must start that game. I don't know the reason but there customer service was very quick to help and both pitchers will always be listed when you select a ML wager. Sucks for me as I rarely bet online but I didn't have a lot on it so it was a cheap lesson.

I believe The only 1* parlay was Minnesota and Houston on 4/19 and was a loss. Houston won, Minnesota lost 6-7

[epr038]

My bad their was an earlier 1* parlay on 4/16 that was a win... But you did not include the 1* on 4/19

I was looking forward to the next part of the handouts Bobby Valentine alienation show. Francona has to be smiling over a few beers somewhere. I know it is not all his fault and the Boston farm system is weak and has failed to produce any meaningful relief pitchers. But, good team chemistry does not blow a 9-1 lead. Wonder too want Espinoza will have on to watch tonight. Fever pitch would be good for Boston sanity.

John as a life long bo sox fan (from the cape originally) I can see that this season is gonna be a disaster!
We need 10 runs a game. We are injury ridden and Bard will be the closer before you know it leaving Dice K our 5th starter when he comes off the DL.. Im cringing at the thought already.
I have a 100$ bet with a friend that Valentine will be fired or resign before Guillen, I made it the day after his Yukolis comments were made, Guillen was still suspended When your teams stinks the profit of knowing so can help you sleep Ive found.

Trust that every one got the 10* on Oakland for tonight? research on the site.

[markeee]

Hey John - I didn't see it - I can only see Sundays plays? Oakland for tonight starting in 5mins?!

[jbizzle]

gotta like Miami today I think with Reyes coming back to town and the mets coming of a double header yesterday while miami got the day off. I think both pitchers do well today but Miami pulls it out. Any thoughts JR?

I also think the Indians won't get swept in their series at home against a struggling Royals team right now and Detroit & Texas to win at least one in their current series with both teams at home and Detroit looking to rebound. Any thoughts on this perspective for betting?

[John Ryan]

5* Cincinnati -103
5* Chicago Cubs + 124
5* San Diego Padres + 119

Cain is just 17-33 (-20.5 Units) against the money line facing teams who strand 7.5 or more runners on base per game since 1997.

Wainwright is just 4-10 (-12.8 Units) against the money line vs teams who strand 6.9 or less runners on base per game over the last 2 seasons.

Padres are just 4-16 (-12.0 Units) against the money line in home games facing a NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 or better over the last two seasons.

These angles are only supportive of the projected plays. They are NOT the reason to make the play. Simply adds some meaning to why you would consider these plays as money making opportunities.

5* San Diego Padres + 119

5* play Miami =100 playing the Mets

5* play KC +148 playing Cleveland. Both games are early.

[John Ryan]

modest profit yesterday as Houston +185 wins while the Cubs lose. A perfect example of why it is crucial to play dogs in MLB.

Thanks for the record keeping despite being so tied up. Appreciate it.

[drnkyourmlkshk]

No worries, I play cards and bet college football for a living. My idea of being tied up isn't what people would normally associate the phrase with. I was researching who lost the most to the draft, how it'll affect their current offense and defensive layouts and how the string of new coaches in Conference USA will adjust. Then I went to go play some poker in a 20 game for a hour or two and got stuck... 22 hours later I got even and updated your thread lol. During June when the Wsop is under way someone else will have to do this for you.

In the meantime I don't mind at all as I have never bet anything in my life other than college football (one trick pony if you will)and am learning a lot (I think) each month that passes. I owe you and a couple of other posters a lot I had a winning college basketball season (+8.1 units) my first time out so if there's anything that you need please don't hesitate and that goes for anyone on here.

JR's picks for the day from the write-up

Rough day. Hopefully it will start to turn around John.

It will, it is only late April and this is a marathon. Confidence and discipline.

5* graded play on the NY Yankees as they host the Detroit Tigers in AL action set to start at 4:05 PM ET. If the Yankees can attack one of the best starters in baseball, then they should not have a problem with today’s Detroit starter Smiley. The simulator shows a high probability that the Yankees will win this game. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 187-79 for 70% winners making 68 units per one unit wagered since 1997. Play against all dogs with a money line of +100 or higher and is a struggling AL offensive team scoring <=4.2 runs per game and with an overused bullpen that pitches more than 3.2 innings per game and now facing a team with a good bullpen sporting a ERA<=3.75. The act of the matter is, the Detroit pen was used heavily last night in their late inning collapse and loss. Verlander went just 6 innings allowing 4 ER, and then Dotel, Coke, Benoit, and Villarreal were all used. Yankee starter Garcia has struggled, but he is a solid 14-2 (+12.5 Units) against the money line facing teams who strand 6.9 or less runners on base per game over the last three seasons. Starters like Garcia are coined ‘pitch to contact’ types and have the added confidence knowing they one of the best offenses backing them up. Yankees have been a stellar 47-16 (+25.7 Units) against the money line in day games over the last 2 seasons. Temps will be unseasonably cold in the Bronx, but I do not see this being a factor with game time at 4:05 PM ET. Take the Yankees
