@Mexican, I was still making that post while you posted, but good thing we're both on the Rockies RL. A late welcome to the thread I think, and good luck today!

We got lucky here. A blown call at first base allowed the extra run to score to cash the RL. Good work woodman.

Sometimes it's better/safer to not play one's leans. Think about it for a minute, were they 'good enough' from the onset, they would have been plays (not leans). Just my two cents on it.

You've been around these parts long enough to realize all but one are welcome in here and know I don't normally make posts like that but when I reach 'full' some spills out. He was e-mailed twice with the information (location), you posted at least two links to the page while responding to him, etc. He and others most are welcome here. The fact he now states he wants to run stats on the data isn't the point. I could be wrong but I get the impression he wants to be spoon fed things, sorry I don't do that for adults. If he posts in here

, if not that's

as well.

with your Sunday wagers.

You won't have to worry about me bothering you anymore. I don't need anything from you.

Since I just want to be spoon fed and I am too lazy to do my own research, I won't be posting any more plays in this thread.

One, you were told exactly which post to go read. This has been proven to be read by you because of your comment about it having "10 diffferent languages" (that's false by the way, it's not ten - it's less).

Two, twice or more in this thread you have been given a link to that page that has it. Anyone who has read that page with the link, less you, has gotten the meanings.

Three, at least one poster "translated" the multiple languages back to "English" and/or explained them. All one has to do is read the

ing page - it's that simple!

Four, you're an adult and as such should have some logic and/or reasoning skills to be able to figure them out and not have to be spoon feed everything. "... They were not difficult to figure out in terms of what they mean. Hell, my youngest daughter got so why can't some of the "adults" here figure it out/use their brain power? ... " ~ TodaysAction responding to a poster on the same subject who 'got it'.

Five, don't bring that

about not being told - you were and more than anyone else.

Use your brain sir. I know you have one. Good day and

.

Dude you need to put down the crack pipe and take a valuum or something.

So, let me make sure I understand this correctly. You want me to risk money on something that I may or may not have correct just so you can keep stroking your ego and not just tell us what the symbols mean?

Yes, I found all the posts you say and the person who translated them in English says he is not sure if they are correct or not and you never said one way or another.

So, excuse me if I keep asking for clarification before I risk money.

Don't worry about it, I won't post anything to you again since I'm lazy and just want to be spoon fed it would take too much effort.

Welp this thread lost a brain who happens to be upset at the moment (kinda petty by the way Curious I gotta say). Just want to say to both of you guys though, I'm not picking a side. I invited Curious here, and told him that he is welcome. TA, you may not know too much about his personality, but I can tell you he has been as respectful as I've seen him be here at SBR. Just not now...

I say settle these differences, but if you can't that's how it goes.

I have nothing more to say on the matter. TA spent ten times more time talking all this bullshit than it would have taken to just send me a list of the symbols and their meanings in english.

Since he obviously isn't going to do that and I am not willing to play any of these plays unless i know what the symbols mean and am not using definitions from people who admit they don't know if they are correct or not and TA just wants to stroke his ego at my expense, then I don't have anything more to say on the matter.

Email me: therber2 @ gmail . com if you want the info. PM me your email address Curious. You are right no more about this in the thread. I'll fill you in on stuff; sorry about all the mishap dude.

Onto tomorrow.

chubber911 · 08-02-09, 08:39 PM

Not that I'm saying I like or dislike the symbols, but what is the point in using them in the first place? They create confusion, and it inhibits discussion from people new to the thread. Maybe that's the point, since I'm now seeing a new symbol being used that wasn't on the original multilingual legend. TA, I'm not suggesting you change your ways, since this is your thread and you can be as vague or as detailed as you like with your picks. I must say, however, you should have been expecting problems to be caused by using symbols as a secret code to list picks. I'm actually surprised there haven't been more problems.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

If/when you stop having a pity party for yourself and sort things out, you're welcome back. If you weren't clear or were uncertain about a symbol, all you would have done done this symbol (

) mean reverse run line. At least then you'd have made an effort and been told no, sorry that's not what it means, it means blah blah blah. Instead you opted to the spoon feeding route. To each their own.

My system is clean, can the same be said about yours?

I NEVER said for you or others to risk money on what I play. All I've ever said is that if one is going to tail the selections, do them all and that they are responsible for any and all outcomes. Did you even make an effort to 'decode' the mysterious symbols?

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

theberb2,

yes he has been respectful and added to the thread but I will not tolerate the bullshit about the symbols. damned near everyone else after being told where to look has been able to figure them out - they weren't that difficult and brought some color into the thread.

i seriously doubt what was said can be unsaid.

Apparently, you're use to being given everything you want. Others contacted me about the symbols asking if this was correct. The ones that weren't either had another attempt made or given their meaning. You sir, never even made the effort to try and 'guess' and ask. Really, not that complicated.

Send me, or list in here, your best guess and this can be settle once and fore all. You want the meanings, MAKE AN EFFORT TO DECODE THEM or shut up already about `em!

Good evening chubber911,

They are being used to add color to the thread. You have a valid point about the

. Look at the subject line for that post and you should be able to figure that one out. That's all I'm going to say on the matter tonight.

TodaysAction · 08-02-09, 09:46 PM

The ten listed selections today went 7-3-0 and added 11.94 units, however; their was a

that ended today which lost making the days final count be 7-4-0 taking 15.06 units from the accounts.

Good evening Rixsaw,

It was to win two

To those who helped with some of the projects during this season, thank you. Those projects are now yours to do with as you see fit. They all will aid you with your wagering. Again thank you.

Today's lone bet (starting off slow since it's my first post-Allstar day):

COL -1.5, 2.20, 1 unit

Got lucky on this one like Mexican said, but I'll take lucky knowing that it (luck) might soon turn around.

Bets YTD: 20-15-0: +11.31 units (tailed bets not included but "best bets" are)
"Best bets" YTD: 8-3-0: +11.97 units (bets of 2 units or up)

I would've followed TA on HOU and MILW had I not committed myself to starting out slowly from my break. BOS/BAL over and SEA/TEX+KC/TB unders were also leans so I'll be tracking my thoughts on the unders/overs to see if I'm leaning the right way.

BamaBill67 · 08-03-09, 10:48 AM

Going with KC+130 in the early game. My reason is that TB did not score yesterday in a game that they were "suposed" to win. I am taking a shot that they go through a little batting slump and Kreinke pitching doesn't help TB situation.

MexicanStallion · 08-03-09, 11:03 AM

August 3rd
Cubs -138 (6.90 to win 5)
Dodgers -193 (7.72 to win 4)

Good Work again TA, positive money is a Wonderful Thing.
Hey Therbs, keep er rollin
Mexi...did you end up playin' the florida game? Got lucky on that one.......
BamaBill...good luck on your plays today

Cubs at Cincy:

Cubs:
Haven't been a good road team this season, but had a successful road trip prior to this trip beginning in florida. Wells has been solid his last 3 starts, compiling a 3-0 record and an ERA of 3.32 and a WHIP of 1.26..........Ramirez is probable tonight, but is expected to play. Cubs are 7-3 in their last 10, and are batting .287 vs rh during that same period.

Cincy:
Having a horrible time right now. They have lost 9 of their last 10, and Harang is 0-3 in his last 3 starts, with an ERA of 6.30 and a WHIP of 1.30. They are only batting .193 vs rh in the last 10, and they are missing several players with injuries.

NOTE: no real edge to the Bull-Pens.

PICK: Chicago Cubs (2 units)
Record: 37-21-2 (+24.5 units)

I may post another one later, there are a few I like but haven't done the research.

Good Luck Ladies and Gentlemen

woodman663 · 08-03-09, 04:09 PM

My play for the day:

PIT -1.5, 2.38, 1 unit.
