Good luck Biff, I like the LAD tonight as well, looking into the RL.

thanks, BOL to you too. hope my day ends better than it has started...

As a general market trend, I think unders are a good investment moving forward pre-allstar break.

Give me a reason to not pound the over 8 in STL. Miley has been awful lately and he's not good on the road. Stl a good history vs him despite their struggles vs lefties. Arizona's offense should be able to score on Kelly/STL bullpen. Both bullpens taxed. I love this play and hoping it's not one of those "too good to be true" wagers.

Doug eddings and his nice wide strike zone. Only thing I didn't like bout it cause u right even if Kelly good we talking 6 inning max and prob few runs, then I'd imagine no rosénthal today, not sure bout manness, Mojica I would think gets day off so it like salas and maybe Boggs garbage ass. Makes me like dbags but cards havnt lost b2b gms in over a month. They shouldnt struggle w Miley, he mostly fastball/slider, cards problems are generally caused by soft tossing lefties. Like I said everything besides ump who I consider a "under guy" looks good.

[Vasco]

Yea good point I guess the ump would be the only reason to not pound it. Looks like it moved to 8.5 most places.

Agree completely. Early season has been so high-scoring that numbers will be inflated.

Wonder why I have eddings wrote down. That changes things and I agree..

phew, was a little concerned that i was off. i pride myself in knowing when guys like Eddings work.

[ExodusNZ]

Thanks again for the plays! I missed the morning plays (stupid time zone difference) but on the rest! Thanks

[2daBank]

Yea I'm sure it was me. Was in a time crunch and lazily just looked at blankets who apparently don't care if I know who ump is. My fault cause I know this.

[Emancipator]

Why you like the Dodgers tonight if you don't mind me asking?

[BiffTFinancial]

Why you like the Dodgers tonight if you don't mind me asking?

Don't mind your asking at all. Clayton Kershaw, my man. Guys like Kershaw and Felix can dominate a game all by themselves when they are on. Kershaw has solid history vs Pads and I think that he'll own them tonight.

[BiffTFinancial]

No problem at all. Just want to be sure that we're all on the same page.

[BiffTFinancial]

Sure thing, BOL to you too.

[Duke Fan]

Holy smokes! White Sox/ Mariners are scoreless through 13 and they have now scored 10 with two outs in bottom of 14th. Under 7 is an impossible loser

[ExodusNZ]

10 in the 14th!! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[fitguy67]

1* White Sox/Mariners under 7 (-113)

now that was ridiculous, Bif...chicago baseball teams just can NOT close out a baseball game...

guess their pitching staff didn't get down to the bottom of that DOs and DONTs list...

you know, the one that says: "with three men on and two outs...and a four run lead to protect...DONT throw a gopher ball"

[BiffTFinancial]

unreal, fellas. kicking myself for not playing the FF under 3' in CWS/Mariners rather than full game. my rationale was that i'd always prefer to opt for a play that offers the potential for a push, and the pens haven't been that bad. that's just one of those games where you have to grab a drink and walk it off. one of those ones that you'll talk about in stories to your degenerate grandkids. fkn pissed.

the take-home message: if you like the under in 2013 MLB, consider FF under.

3-3-1 +0.11u start

could've been a lot worse given the loss i took on the Hawk Harrelson/Mariners game

[fitguy67]

the take-home message: if you like the under in 2013 MLB, consider FF under.

or...have access to a reliable live-betting out...so you can buy just enough hedge-insurance to cover the stake of your bet...which puts you in a "push at worst/most of targeted win at best" position

downside: the hedge typically eats up 10-30% of your win (when it turns out you "didn't need it")
upside: when the insurance kicks in, you feel relief rather than "brick thru the flatscreen" pissed off
another upside: if bet is sucking after five...you haven't lost yet...still more time for what u capped to happen

i currently have both chicago MLB teams on this "hedge as soon as possible cuz i can't trust the bastids to hold onto anything good" (or "intensive care") list...

but today i had the freakin' whitesox score 5 in the 14th and I thought..."well surely even these scrubs can protect a five-run lead...so i'll save the insurance" (what would have been minute, had i bought it at the start of the M's inning)"...aaaaarrrrgggghhhh...NEVER AGAIN...if a team is on my "always hedge" probation list...stick to the program...until the team earns its way off the list

[fitguy67]

MLB headline: "team gets a lead and keeps it till the end"

Tampa cashes!

Im new to betting and just started tailing you, quick questions. I was too late to get my bets in today but im confused some of the abbreviations for example
Twins/Royals under 8'
Twins/Royals FF under 4'
Cubs FF ML

can you explain these a little?

thanks

Twins/Royals=the team nicknames...google "MLB team nicknames" so you know what city (most books list bets by city names)

ML=money-line=the basic "who's gonna win the game" bet

FF= first five (innings)=ur betting on the result of the ff or first "half" of the game

over 9= bet that game will produce a total (from both teams combined) of MORE than 9 runs (if exactly 9 runs scored you get your money back or "push")
under 9=bet that game will produce a total (from both teams combined) of LESS than 9 runs (if exactly 9 runs scored you get your money back or "push")
*if the number in a totals bet like this is a whole number, three results are possible (W,L, or P)

finally 9' is short for "9.5",
so over 9.5 or under 9.5 according to the above can NOT push...cuz game can not have half-runs...when we bet with half-runs like this we know bet will win or lose only...no pushes
________

finally, be patient and persistent as well as curious..there's a lot to sport betting...u'll pik up stuff as you go...and like anything else...there's this amazing thing called "google"

read, think, google...that answers 95% of your questions as long as you're persistent and patient

but if u just can't find the answer ursellf the do what u just did and ask others for some help

Taking Thursday off. Meetings all day and no time for capping, so will take the day and try to get my head straight. To the extent that anyone cares, Thursday leans: TB/DET over, BAL/HOU over, NYM/WAS over, A's ML, Yanks ML. Three over umps, fade White Sox, M's off Wednesday's debacle.

hey, fitguy, thanks for taking the time to respond. i appreciate that as i was in a rush when i saw it and didn't have time to respond.

just the worst. i'll never forget it. i was in a make-believe verbal altercation with Hawk Harrelson watching it. definitely the kind of beat that called for a day off.

[BiffTFinancial]

boys, i need a hand. i've had an account at BetUS since the 90s. i don't use them during bases, but their football lines are decent and i have to compliment how well they treat you and their bonuses are solid (perhaps because i've been there so long; i've gotten like 600 free play bonus on 500 deposit in the past).

anywho, i got an email saying that i have a free play that must be used on a particular prop: which team will the first made three-pointer of Game Four of the NBA Finals. i'm not into the NBA, can't wait for it to stop clogging my twitter timeline. so i'm not going to research this (what's the point - it's kind of a coin-flip prop) but if anyone has a strong angle, i'm all ears for my first and last NBA Finals bet (have tailed pacocn some and made a genuine profit, so props to him). i'm inclined to nail this down tonight or early tomorrow - haven't received this kind of offer from them before, and don't know if i have to finalize now that i've opened it.
