Todays Action, 2009 M.L.B. Thread

[hufster]

COL -1.5 +105 L

Alright, yesterdays action went 0-1. Let's get that back today.

I am going with :

CHW +100

Bannister has been pitching well as of late, but his career numbers vs. the White Sox lineup is terrible. The Royals have not been putting up very many runs and Chicago has been slugging .569 over their past 5 games.

LAD -155
LAD/SDG Under 7.5 -110

I love Billingsley vs. the Padres. Neither team is hitting the ball well. I see this one being a low scoring affair, with the Dodgers pulling it out late.

Record : 10-6-1 +6.35u

[TodaysAction]

A couple for right now with more later.
The yard is in need of a major clean-up.

PIT/FL,
METS/PHI,

Taking a brief break to get some eats.

The pair split making the account drop 0.10 unit.

Got at least one more today.

Don't think you're 63% win rate hasn't gone unnoticed. Well done hufster and continued success to you.

[TodaysAction]

Hmm. Even Fourth of July cannot stop this thread. I come back, and TA has one enough to pay for my Wisconsin fireworks ticket 10 times over. Never going to that state again. They sell the damn things, but won't let you shoot them off?? Unbelievable.

Other than that the weather was nice; got some needed sun, and a refreshing river ride. Hope you all had fun.

Here's what I've got for today:

White Sox -105 (1 unit)
Phillies -112 (1 unit)
Cinncinati Reds +125 (1.5 units)
Orioles +146 (.5 units)
NYM/PHI 8.5 -115 (1 unit)
FLA/PIT (1 unit)
ATL/WAS 9 +110 (.5 units)

Welcome back theber2. The place wasn't the same. Sounds like you had a good time less the bang-o. BOL with your Sunday selections.

[TodaysAction]

Bets: 1-3-0: -2.15 units
Leans: 2-3-0: -0.93 units

Bets YTD: 5-5-0: +1.05 units
"Best bets" YTD: 2-1-0: +2.73 units

Well has the beginner's luck faded or was this just a bad day? We'll see soon enough I guess.

woodman663,

Try to remember, a "pretty" record isn't any/every thing, what mattes most is units up or down & you are up. Congrats on staying in the black and looking forward to seeing what you have in store next.

[TodaysAction]

Overall Saturday: 2-3 but a profit of 1.42 units. Now that is a TA-style day!

Great job on a huge Saturday at 8-1 TA. Why I attempt my own picks instead of just betting yours is a great mystery of life.

That said, here is my Sunday card:
COL 1.909
HOU 1.87
NYY -1.5 2.05
CLE -1.5 2.16 2 units
BAL 2.48 .5 unit

Happy Sunday

mcbain,

Happy Sunday to you as well.

2-3 and turning a profit is SWEET! Well done and congrats.

Thank you but I can and do run cold at times. The only things I tell people if they are going to tail is I'm not liable for any non-wins that occur and to play them all in the proportion (matching unit for unit) for the entire season and you'll have a very good chance of being up at season's end.

[TodaysAction]

breaks over, time to finish up the yard. The other selection(s) will be posted in plenty of time to fade or follow.

[woodman663]

Today (missed all early games):

LAD: -163, 2 units ("best bet")
TEX: +107, 1 unit

BOL to all.

Well, the yard is back to it's normal self finally. With only one game left on the card today, and I did mention there'd be at least one more (M.L.B.) tonight it's a it pertains to the TAM/TX game.

Heading into that game, all posted M.L.B. wagers that end today will be 3-1-0 and more importantly up 19.90 units. Hope everyone else is doing as well or better.

Good Afternoon T.A.Glad your on the upside of your selections today
I was on the Over(9)ATL./WAS-Sooooooo Close(LOS) - K.C ML(WIN) & I parlayed BALT. & the over(9.5)
Got the over & now I'm sweating out the Balt. win Interested to see what your play is as I will most likely be tailing you Hope You had a GREAT 4th

[Spaceviews]

Sorry........ I must have been typing while you posted

[woodman663]

I'm guessing the star(fish?) means Over. Don't know what else can be offered by other books than mine. Does the baseball mean anything specific?

Respectfully,

woodman

[pocketlint]

Whats your call on the OVER / UNDER in light of the trends I just posted in the other thread, TA?

Thank you TA. It is good to be back. I told the officer a little bit about America, and how it was America's birthday. I got the typical, "well, the law says..."

I remember once when I was a kid I shot a m-80 in the street; while the fuse was going a cop rolled down the street, and it blew up underneath his car. The guy got out, laughed that he didn't see crazy sparks in the road, and shot one off with us.

Times are a little bit stranger than those days....

[TodaysAction]

Whats your call on the OVER / UNDER in light of the trends I just posted in the other thread, TA?

I think those came from foxstat or similar site.

On a more serious note because time is running short here is what I can and will tell you/others. When I do a game total I use seven sets of figures/seven ways to look at the game/whatever you want to call it. Three of them indicated under was the call, three proclaimed the over was the way to go and one landed right on the number. The line was ten (10) when the game was capped but has been moved down to 9'. The line services I just checked show the total is fairly split between the over and under. I am not touching the total on this game as it's too close to call for how I do things. Probably not what you were looking for and for that I'm sorry but I read you has ten units on TAM, why not let it go at that as there are plenty of games and opportunities left this season? With whatever route you go, good luck to you.

Thank you. Me too. For some reason, I don't like baseball parlays.

No problems. No worries. It's all good. Don't sweat the small stuff.

I 100% assure you and others, the is not the over icon/smilie/symbol. The indicates it is a baseball game. This is done since on occasion other sports wagers get placed in the thread. Earlier in the day there were two wagers that had the . The PIT/FL one did not cash/win. The METS/PHI one did.

[TodaysAction]

3-4

Record: 56-46-1 54.9% (+16.34 units)

Look at it this way, you COULD have gone 0-7. Betcha the 3-4 looks better now huh? I wouldn't be worried about it after all, you did miss a few days and I know things will turn for the better for you soon.

Thank you TA. It is good to be back. I told the officer a little bit about America, and how it was America's birthday. I got the typical, "well, the law says..."

No problem man. It never fails but ...

Thats funny. Ever play with m-16's? When I was growing up, we'd go to a relatives place and since they lived across from a park, we'd shoot our stuff from the front yard AT the houses across the park & they'd fire some back too. Now a days, I'd bet what we had then would be illegal today. World's changed and not all for the better.

[TodaysAction]

Need to get to watching that with my better half as she's getting happy.

[hufster]

Hello T.A.!!!!!

Very glad to see you on the positive side of things as usual! So a little birdie tells me you will be in my neck-of-the-woods soon. I think a family meeting is definitely in order kind sir. We have some time to bang out the details. And I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Much love and positivity!

Thanks for your MONDAY plays today. I haven't even looked at any of those games yet.

[TodaysAction]

Sorry it didn't turn out how I thought it would. Monday we try again.

[TodaysAction]

For a +400 team ATL gave IND all they wanted and then some but fell 4 points short. The +9 covered but no credit for it wasn't posted here. Was told the tenth might be "the" day.

M.L.B. ended up 3-2-0 for games and series ending today adding 18.60 units to the accounts.

[hufster]

Sorry it didn't turn out how I thought it would. Monday we try again.

No worries. Can't get'em all. Tomorrow we try again.

Speaking of which, check out your email tomorrow, you should have some interesting reading material around noon here in the east.

Sounds like a plan. 50/50 if posting for the first game of the day as I'll be taking her to her PT session and then we go out for lunch and don't normally get back until 12:30-12:45pm Eastern Time.

[woodman663]

Today (missed all early games):

LAD: -163, 2 units ("best bet") WIN
TEX: +107, 1 unit WIN

BOL to all.

Today: 2-0-0: +2.23 units

Bets YTD: 7-5-0: +3.28 units
"Best bets" YTD: 3-1-0: +3.89 units

When I woke up I was thinking I'd probably lost both since I went to bed in the knowledge that Dodgers blew a 5-run lead in the 9th and that TA was against me on the Texas pick. But in the end, both cashed!

Just for discussion, I think the Orioles and Astros are teams that are starting to heat up a little, whereas I think the Marlins will be going colder along with the Tigers in my opinion. This doesn't yet mean I will bet/fade those teams though.

[mcbain]

Thanks for your MONDAY plays today. I haven't even looked at any of those games yet.

Sometimes I like to get a jump on the next day's games if I feel the lines are going to move against me.

I think in this case the COL and ARZ odds will only get lower as we get closer to game time, although I could be wrong of course.

[woodman663]

Today I'm on:

DET: -139, 1 unit
CIN: +128 1 unit

Saving the rest to tail the good bettors here, if they make picks I like.
