I'm liking the picks PLU !

[thunderous]

Yes I know. But I don't like it when people complain. The way I think we are all on the same team. Exchanging ideas and such. But it seems that it will be easier to make my own thread.

Nothing against you buddy but I felt he might have not liked it. Now make the thread and I promise to chime in every now and then. And oh btw even though I normally don't play totals I have tailed you today so GL!

Loving the picks man. At first I was on Philly, but Im staying away. Also no reads on the O's/Jays and Yanks/Rays games?

Thanks man. Jenkins is too much of a wild card for me to pick a side in the Baltimore game, and I think the line on the Yanks game is just about right. My book has them at +115. If they get to +125 (doubtful) before game time I might throw a half-unit on it.

So you lean NYY here...hmm, thats interesting. I lean TB here. Cleveland is an interesting pick that I like. I love following your picks because for the most part we are on the same page. Friday was one of the few days were we had all the same picks AND they were all correct.

[Pluthero]

Oh I think Tampa's going to win, I just don't want to pay that price. If it dropped to -115 or so I might put a half-unit on them instead of NYY.

Oh? Im having a hard time understanding. You think TB will win, but dont want to pay then price. But will put half unit on NYY, although you think TB will win? Also you're paying prices higher than that in other games

[Vinnie Paz]

Its a value thing raven
If you're gonna fade cc, gonna need something betterthan -130 juice. Tb hits lefty's, and always hits cc, but still their pen is atrocious and won't ever hold up. Nevermind the other games, just this game, -130 or whatever isn't.good enough for him. He's saying nyy are worth a stab at +125 just for the sake of value, sometimes a game hits a certain price and youbasically have to take it just on value.

That makes perfect sense. I guess what I was getting at is that I remember a few weeks back I asked him if he makes picks that are solely value based or if all his picks were based on him believing its the winning bet despite the price. This was a example of a value based bet, as you said, because it has a chance as opposed to him firmly believing they will win. I was just trying to get some clarification, thats all

[Vinnie Paz]

Yeah man whenever pluth checks back in I'm sure hell drop a line as well bud. Bol guys

That's exactly right. Thanks for clarifying. I've got the fair value line at this game set at about TB -120 or NYY +120. If that's what the actual line is, then I won't touch it.

Wow, Cleveland. Just Wow.

2nd straight day the Indians have burned people (including myself) late.

[Catchn_Picks]

Looking like another great day PLU...congrats again. Went against you just ONCE backing Gallardo at home and of course you know how that ended. ...LOL

However the CLEV game really SUCKED. Especially when you also have U 9.5.

gl to you and all

[Pan43]

Cleveland would have covered my tennis losings for yesterday.

[RavensFan2k3]

That would have been a 20 unit day if Cleveland had won. Fangraphs had them at a 96% chance of winning the game at one point. Good day nevertheless.
