Here's something, I'll share with you tonight that I did. Earlier in the day at one book I took STL to win $500 - high line, blah, blah, blah - knowing the dog numbers would keep getting pushed upward. Finally, I was able to get a number that would generate a profit, $100, for me if CIN won or be even from the two wagers. This type of situation happens more than one realizes and if a person is on their game, they can turn out several extra units over the course of a month/season.

I did re-tap MILW for another - essentially using the money from above (although not the same book).

Again, what I do is not for everyone but it works well enough for my family and I.

Hi TA,

By "Retap" did you mean playing Milwaukee the next day or added to the play on Thursday. I noticed in Thursdays post that you were glad Milwaukee and Detroit came thru. Or were you just chasing them on your own?

[TodaysAction]

2-5 -7.8

This to shall pass. It only takes one good day/night to make the week be up for the week.

Only play for today was Detroit HEAVY HEAVY. I really needed that rebound. Easing up. We'll see whats up tomorrow.

For what it's worth were it me, I'd split the amount EVENLY between the Tigers over 4 and winning. Yes, Tigers at home win more, score more, 'play better' but there's a huge party along Woodward from outside the stadium to Pontiac (Dream Cruise) - focus is the concern. Just my two cents on the subject and hope you cash with whatever you place.

I got the angels tomorow, good matchup for the angels against a bad pitcher.

but for me

Good morning VegasPlayer,

For wagering purposes when I use the term re-tap, I mean to hit the play again (for that day/night). True, I was and still an happy about MILW and DET winning yesterday. While they don't count on my record here, the wins count where it matters most (the accounts from which they were placed). I do not list every wager I make everyday, however; it would have been safe to presume I was riding MILW (lost previous wagers) and if you've read the thread you'd know it's real tough for me to pass when JV takes the mound - zero chance this is a selection.

Update your siggy Terry!

Dont be bashfull, it shows accomplishment my friend.... I been looking at the past month and seeing what the helll happened.....might have some late games...still up a little since posting the record but got absolutly crushed in July...

[therber2]

Let's get the train rollin'

Chicago White Sox +141 (1.5 units)
Baltimore +130 (1 unit)
Cubs Cards parlay +106 (.5 unit)
Boston -139 (2.5 units)
Phillies +130 (4 units) It's Friday over there, and them boys in Atlanta want to finish this game up win it or lose it. Don't matter. Phillies have been doin' pretty darn well against my boys, but I am pretty sure they want this win just a bit more. Phillies might be a little too hot for those of you worried about the law of averages and all, but they only allowed one run the other day, Blanton is hot, Jurrjens is cold, and the Phillies know how to slug that ball so I wouldn't worry about it.
KC Royals +108 (.5 units)
NYY -146 (1.5 units) Another one of my Friday teams. If ya'll haven't noticed Friday is my favorite day for gambling. I do; however seem to be cursed at the moment (other than the big ol play on Detroit the other day [sorry for not postin that one fellas; probably better I didn't right Terry? Was losin' my mind as many of us can do here]. Anyways, we've got a hot road team here wanting some blood like a pack of sharks here would. That is good enough for me. Mariners might not exactly be kickin it today so I'll go a tad lighter, but if you want to go heavy with that juice it might just work for you; wouldn't recommend too heavy tempting as it is.
Cubs -1.5 -120 (1 units)
Cards -1.5 -105 (.5 units)
SFG/NYM o8.5 -120 (1 unit)
Milwaukee -132 (2 units)


Have a great Friday boys; Anyone up to something interesting? Might take a trip over to my IKEA today cause the place is a bit cluttered. I'd ask you guys if you know of good cleaning/organization products/places to get them, but then I guess you all have the rooms of 13 year old boys. Especially old Foggy boy.


Adding some NFL:
IND/MINN OVER 35.5 (2 units)
CINCi +3.5 -110 (2 units)

Let's dance.

TA, I love that first hand insight you give on Detroit. I am extra light on KC, but might add some weight. Tell me more about that party going on. This is exactly what I am talking about with Friday. Detroit maay play this way or that way, but if they've got some champagne on their minds all game long, they ain't gonna be doin what they're supposed to do. Do you think I could add a half unit to KC?

Also, my big play on Detroit was yesterday just to be clear. TA what do you think about KC and DET today?

Stay away from the beach! And don't go swimming either!! Sounds like fun, enjoy yourself.

I will glady take your points if you don't want them ha. I will look for the link. Somewhere in players talk. Basically 50 posts equals 15 points or other people can give you points. SBR will have some sort of a store where you can redeem your points. They are going to announce it next weekend I think? Ill look for the link though.

On another note. Looks like we are going to have a good day. I am liking most of your games, so I hope it turns out well

Wasn't that a David Bowie song?

The party is for cruisers along one of the worlds most famous roads. People folk to this event like stink on . It's a freaking zoo out there right now - neighbor has an old Ford (T) that we took up the road for trip that normally takes 12-15 minutes tops but today it took damned near 90 minutes. By this time Saturday I expect it to be fully grid locked. Don't know why the Tigers have a home series this time of the year - let alone at night. Should be over a million in attendance as the cars take center stage. If I were to do anything with the game, I'd go DET over 4 with an equal amount on them to win BUT to me today is a . with the side you take.

Another addition about the points are playing in contest. You can challenge other posters to contests or tournaments for points.

You know it.

Sounds like an excellent event....lol. Flies on shit or stink on shit? haha. Thanks for the inside info there. I don't know what bearing this has on the game. Doesn't sound like an after-party so may be irrelevant. I am going to stick with my small KC wager. They seem like they're hot enough to do the job. If they don't; onto tomorrow. Maybe today will bring us all luck.

Mexican Stallion is on the Cubs with us today for his birthday. I'll be rootin for them like I always do MS so that you have a little sugar sweetener on your bday. Have a great day my friend.

Thank you sir. I appreciate it. I will post the rest of my plays, but looks like we will be rooting the same games here. Nice start with the Cubs. Hopefully I can get the early one out of the way. I have been struggling with early games lately.

Well it ISSS your birthday. Let me see what happens with this point stuff. Most likely will just spawn more dick and fart posters all over the board. Heh. One time I started a thread here on how to concoct the worst fart. Came up with Burger King Onion rings...land slide. I guess I can't talk.

Good Morning TA. Thanks for the clarification. I "Retapped" the Cubs today. Hope they can hold em off. Yea, I was all over JV too. Finally got some satisfaction. He's broken my heart more than once the last couple of years.

Have faith and "use the force". Many a folk went down with that one but those who read and followed here ended up victorious. Glad it cashed for you and others. Oh, yea, if you're dropping some in the mix, all good no issues, just make a separate post as it's easier to find - no idea how they turned out but would have put a little on those games, savy?

Okay, NP with the NFL; I think I might just do leans for those since it is preseason. I told you before NFL is sorta something I need to develop my skills with so maybe, yes separate, and on paper. Do we have another thread going somewhere?

TA, when was the last time you updated you sig? Seems like you should be up a lot higher. You are adding avg. of 20 units a day man.

I am glad the consensus was good here. Thankfully you guys talked me out of ATL as well. I was leaning on them, but saw you both on PHI, so I laid off. Great work. Look forward to tomorrow.

You called this for sure. Excellent day. I should have been tailing these plays all along. Great work. See what you bring next Friday

Hey man you were up for the day, and you have you reasons for being on the plays that you picked. Take the ones you lost today and cap those tomorrow leaning on the teams that lost. Take a look at some other slicks around here who lost some close games. Check a team's record after loss, cap the game as normal. I'm sleepy at the moment, but I'll get some leans in early tomorrow for ya'll.

For now I'm thinking maaaaaaaybe:
Texas
Cinci
Dodgers
LAA
Milwaukee
Colorado (maybe a stronger lean)
Phillies
