    balt999 Las Vegas Baseball Bets 2011 Season Long Thread

    Wanna try something…I live in Las Vegas, NV, and I’ve been betting sports for low stakes the past year and have done okay…I’ve had good runs and bad ones, but overall I’m ahead…But this baseball season, I’m going for it..I’m gonna be placing a bet everyday on strictly baseball and see how I do…I would like to use this forum as a way to track my results…You can fade or follow, but I’m not going to shy about giving my picks..I’m sure I’ll get ripped on days, but hopefully I’ll get praised on others…My bets will STRICTLY BE OVER/UNDERs as I’ve done very well, and I‘ll be BETTING ONE GAME A DAY..I suck at sides. Also, 1 unit =$20…So here it goes….Hope you enjoy the journey!!

    11 Apr 11 -- St Louis/Arizona OVER 9.5 for 2 units.

    YTD: 0-0

    I live in Vegas as well. Are you going to try to shop the lines or stick to one casino in particular? It can be a pain running around trying to get a line for a nickel cheaper. I usually only play at 2-3 casinos but it's mainly because I'm too lazy to drive down to the strip. BOL this season.

    @ James Brown....I bet exclusively at Aliante Station cause it's 2 blocks from my house...I'm also too lazy to shop around for the best prices..so it's a matter of convenience for me

    Got a bit of a break as The Seattle/Kansas City game was called in the 8th inning due to rain, so I got no action, which was a good thing considering the Mariners were thought they were facing Cy young (Bruce Chen)

    TODAY'S PLAY: Detroit/Oakland over 8 for 2 units

    YTD: 1-2 -1.17

    I primarily wager at Aliante and Santa Fe, as they are the the closest as well. Aliante is nice, and never crowded so it's usually there. BOL today on your picks

    Atlanta/San Francisco didn't start out to promising with the Braves scoring 4 runs in the 4th inning, but after that other than a single Giants run, both pitching staffs were superb...another winna!!

    Been a frustrating last couple of days...I can't seem to hit my big unit plays, so even though my record is above .500, I'm down a few units..But I'm going to keep trucking along...as they say in this business...it's a marathon...not a sprint...

    27 Apr 11 -- Toronto Blue Jays/Texas Rangers over 9.5 for 2 units

    YTD: 8-7 -3.34 units
