Diogee going for broke MLB V.2.0

[diogee]

Thanks TK...comes with the territory I suppose. Rather get them out of the way early in the season. Hopefully the roller coaster is settled in by early May without these 15 unit swings.


Hard taking the rook against Zambo but Cards bats have been hot and rooks can have success the first time out since nobody has faced them.
Cards +167

Soriano with the 8th inning jack to take me back below 0.

Love Colorado Diogee. AZ Giants game is a very interesting match up young kid verses the old man.

Hey Diogee, you know MLB, so I have a question... Yesterday I was on Washington and I am on them again today, however, yesterday Washington pretty much had it, but during the top of the 9th inning, Florida begins to bring in pinch hitters and stuff and it works out and they tie it up... However, when Washington comes to bat they just don't even bother changing the line up and continue with horrible batters... So, I guess I am just trying to put a Football frame of mind to it. I mean, why not just go for broke and put in some better hitters in an all or nothing type of strategy? Does Washington just not have anyone? Maybe there are just rules I am ignorant of... I really don't know much about baseball...

[DukeJohn]

Almost made it to positive units... Great day... Anyway, taking off for a few days...

Good luck Diogee

[diogee]

Took off a few days to clear my head of frustration. Long season ahead with many ups and downs...hopefully an up is around the corner. Of course I take a break and unders finally start to hit

I'm not sure...I hadn't followed the game but some of their better bats could have been pinch hit for earlier in the game for whatever reason. It would make sense in the bottom of the 9th to have the best bats in no matter what since you don't have to worry about defensive line-up at all. From watching the Nats so far they seem like one of those bad teams that will find a way to lose. Horrible baserunning, no clutch hitting, bad bullpen (revamped/rebuilt now with hope lost early), and bad decisions from the manager.

Almost made it to positive units... Great day... Anyway, taking off for a few days...

Good luck Diogee

Thanks Duke...needed a few days off to clear my mind. Haven't had a day off since Christmas and it was much needed. Lacking concentration and focus. Still a lot on the mind with the work situation but hopefully it's time to turn the corner.

You are a machine... This betting life will grab you and take you for a wild ride if you are not careful... I only work at it 6 months of the year... Sure I could probably make more working it 12 months, but in the end, would it be worth it? Well, for me, the answer was no... Maybe I am just getting too old and the value of traveling and discovering new things is more important to me... But I can tell you even traveling and spending time doing just about anything I want begins to weigh in as I wait for a season to start for me Probably should rephrase that, there are many things I would like to do that I can't afford, like travel in space, at least not yet... However, I do enjoy a nice leisurely existence for 6 months of the year...

Oh, and thanks for answering my question... I think I was just frustrated that I had picked this huge dog twice, believing they would pull it out and they fell apart in the last inning... twice

Anyway, it usually works out in the end... I just need to not watch the games..

[diogee]

No problem Duke. Yeah it takes a little too much out of me...planning out some decent breaks for next year during times that I have had little success. Sounds like you are enjoying life to the fullest...good stuff.



record update later after nap.

Mets +128
Reds +152
Phillies -1 -120
Mil/Phil over 9.5 -106

[diogee]

Damn what a game pitched by Bush...didn't quite think he would take a no hitter into the 8th.

Bad feeling about the late card...too many faves and public pics. Sharp money looks to be on Balty. Time to go 0-3 betting against it. Too many plays on the small card. Balty over looks easy as well...Tex over is probably a trappy type of line but I'm too tired to care. Sure I'll pay for being reckless.

Rays -103
Tigers ff -130/-143 gm

Obviously best to fade any over or fave I play...think the record pretty much explains why I don't play a lot of overs usually. Not a strength of mine at all. Live and learn...always on to tomorrow. Bleak looking season has been getting into my head but not about to throw in the flag...hopefully more ups than downs ahead for the roller-coaster.

Solid 17-31 run...ran into Cy Bush last time out with the no hitter into the 8th not helping the over, knew not to take Cws as stated but still did, knew Rangers over was a trap and still bet it, and Rays were a mean 0-7 with RISP. Rough season so far...hope May brings a little bit of luck and good fortune my way. This season is a complete opposite of last...was 105-86 +21.96 this time last year. Not a good sign...looking like a back down to earth type of year ahead. Should have waited the first month before playing to let teams/pitchers get established.

On to tomorrow.

Marlins -134
Rockies -121
D-Backs -119

[Vonnegut]

Fish look good today diogee. Good luck man.

[DukeJohn]

I am on the Rockies myself today...

lol... not sure if that is a good thing looking at both our current records...

BOL to the both of us....

[diogee]

Nice turnaround over the last few days Duke.

0-3 a few days ago with the Fish blowing it in the 9th. Beat the other 2 lines by 20 cents but no luck reeling in the wins. Not sure where my 3 plays from the 26th went...know I posted them in this thread as well as a few others. Oh well...on to tomorrow. Had to take a day off with some family medical problems.

Being reckless and going with a huge card today.

Wash/Philly under 9.5 -105

Good luck diogee. Love the Pirates tonight.

[DukeJohn]

Nice turnaround over the last few days Duke.

Thanks, I was definitely in a nose dive for a while there but pulled in out...

Taking a couple of days off... Hopefully when I come back I will be able to keep my head above water... I do not like starting the season the way I did...

BOL with that huge card today

[diogee]

Yeah I don't care much for this start either...long season.

Small losing day with the Cards losing in the 8th off of 3 walks and a weak grounder up the middle and an error by oak costing them a few in the 6th. Pitt couldn't hold onto the 5-1 lead...gotta love baseball.

Running behind...damn early games.

Pit/Mil under 8.5 -109
Fish +175
White Sox +115

Wanted Pitt as well but didn't get it in.

[akerber]

hey diogee, I was following you last mlb season and I would like to know how is your record this mlb season?

Thanks

sorry my english

[diogee]

Not good so far akerber. Around -10 units...playing too many games and making mistakes. A lot of bad breaks on top of bad capping.

[DukeJohn]

Congrats on the Day

[diogee]

Thanks Duke...feels good to finally have a good day. Would have been a lot better if not for some unearned runs by Boston but that's bases. I'll take it. Hopefully something to build on...on to tomorrow.

[Vonnegut]

Keep it up diogee. I love to see good dudes hammer the ****ing book.

[diogee]

Thanks Von...feel the same way.

Oak/Tex over 10.5 -107 (streak fade/system)
Rangers -119

[diogee]

0-2 start...Sweeney saved the game by robbing Kins of a 3 run hr in the 8th. Feel like an idiot...still had the info Outman pitching. 30 baserunners couldn't bring in the over with a combined 2 for 16 with RISP.

Absolutely disgusting loss on Fish/Cub under 9.5...0 runs through 5 and 4 through 9. Fish put up 6 in top 10. Sickening season all around...will update tomorrow. Been busy trying to find a place to work and family problems.

[Bread]

Jeesus Christ I thought I bet a lot of games! And I didn't pay any attn to day game today but that is one helluva loss. I feel ya on that one.

I thought you had a job??

[diogee]

Thanks Von...looking like a disaster. Can't believe I talked myself into an under at the joke of a Yankee stadium.

Bread that game was from yesterday...I always bet a ton of games. Need to get back to overnights/early morning like last year but can't find the time to do everything I need to.

I have a job but I'm laid off due to the coal industry being slow and can't find anywhere within 6 hours of home to week due to the freight industry being a little slow.

[Bread]

Oh. Looks like another rough night there. The good news is, I'll be back today so you have someone to tail. Let's ride homey!

[diogee]

Yeah not good Bread. Need some winners.

Down a bit yesterday. Damn Angels blow a 9-4 lead in the 8th and finish blowing it in the 9th

Keeping cards down to the 10 plays I like the best...missed 2 streak fades that I liked this morning in Yanks under and Tor under. Might have been for the best.

KC/Min under 9 -106 (system) 1.3 units
CWS/Tex over 11 -115 (system...weather worries) 1.3 units
Cle/Det under 10 -105 (fading both teams 3 over streaks)
Phillies -106 (Moyer looked sharp last outing...Perez not so much.)
Nym/Phi over 10.5 -104 (should take Phi tt over with Perez on mound but could see Moyer giving up a few)
Rockies +117
Red Sox -116
Rangers -122
Indians +109
Reds -103


Other leans that might be plays
Rockies over 8
Brewers
Cin/Pit under 8.5

I'm bored today with this card. I might hit the casino. GL to you pally baby.
