    Best Bet Thread
    This is a continuation from Jellobiafra's thread with a little more clarity. The goal of this is to get a consensus on certain plays on a given day. I will post the records of whoever participates each day as long as it doesn't have 15-20 people posting plays(too time consuming). I will state a few rules to help ease my pain.

    1. Post only 1 ML play per day and if you are betting more than 1 unit please state that. Otherwise, I will assume it's a 1 unit play. Please post the line for the game as well.

    2. Post 1 RL or O/U per day. If you don't want to post for two games that is fine. But please don't just post ML's every single day if you can help it. Many players do not play the ML because of the juice factor. Please post the line of the game as well.

    3. Don't post a play if you aren't betting on it yourself. This will help random people from posting Orioles ML and never placing a cent on it. That's unfair to the people who are actually participating by betting on the games with their hard earned money.

    4. If you want to do a writeup with your pick that is fine. But please don't clog the thread with random banter about why this and that is a bad pick. This will only cause a headache for me to sift through 20 posts to find someones play.

    5. If you don't post a play for 3 consecutive days I will not keep track of your record anymore.

    6. Good luck and have fun with it.

    7. Many baseball games will be broadcasted through the link provided by LT Profits with HD quality. Check the link everyday for games. Not every channel will have a game.



    Below are the up to date records of all who have made selections thus far. I can't factor in the juice because I don't know what it is for your game as suggest by someone. I would rather do it with the juice from now on. But for simplicitys sake I am assuming all of these were 1 unit plays. I edited with the lines from yesterday according to covers.com But from now on it will be the line from your book.

    Jellobiafra = 1-0 +1 unit

    Therber2 = 0-1 -1 unit

    Crayzee = 1-0 +1 unit

    Alukk = 0-1 -1 unit

    Thegenix = 1-0 +1 unit

    Ringo = 0-1 -1.62 units

    Slanina = 4-0 +4 units

    TheLock = 0-1 -1.12 units


    I have already made my selections for today.

    Yisman selects Phillies +125

    Therber2 selects LAD under 9 -120

                  I know its laying a lot more chalk than I'm used to and if you don't want to count it in the best bets, thats ok. Really like this play tonight so I'm willing to lay it. The Yanks will take a win any way they can so I decided to stay away from the RL and pay the extra juice.

                      Toronto ML -112 1 unit

                      One of the few times I actually decided to put some cash on a ML. It's a great line in my opinion.

                      Dodgers -1.5 +110 1 unit



                      I am aware that a lot of people just do ML's. I decided the juice doesn't matter as long as you aren't only doing ML's everyday. I don't see how I can say that your best bet doesn't count simply because others don't play ML's with the juice so high. That wouldn't make any sense of me. I'm not sure why i suggested it. I decided to ask about not having it be your best bet 10 days in a row.

                      Good luck tonight guys!

                            Post #9 and #12.

                            I'm not one of those kids. I'm not saying you are accusing me, but just want to show proof incase someone questions it. I posted ML's on those two days to stay within the rules of the thread. I stated next to them the wager so everyone knew.

                            Good luck tonight!

                                Also, I will not be here to post tomorrow, but I'd like to take the St. Louis Cardinals ML tomorrow as well. Line from Matchbook, whatever it is. It looks like it'll be about +100.

                                  Consensus pick for 5/8

                                  Toronto ML

                                  5 players chose this bet for a total of 10 units.

                                  1 player chose the Toronto team total over 4.5 for 2 units as well.



                                  Please no more bets or posts today. Most of the games are live. You can still bet on the toronto game if you so choose to follow the consenus, but don't add them here. I will update the records after the late games end.

                                      edit:

                                      Waiting on both these bets as the line is moving in my favor on KC. Lot of people thinking Greinke is due for a bad outing... I don't. I've watched the kid pitch for a while now. He's no fluke.


                                      Re-edit:

                                      Placed the bets at price and unit listed. Good luck all.

                                            Mcbaseball10 = 2-0 +4 units

                                            Florida Marlins ML -123 2 units

                                            -Florida is 7-3 vs. Lefties so far
                                            -Col. 7-12 vs. Righties.
                                            -Josh Johnson is a very strong starter.
                                            -The Rockies have never faced Johnson which I tend to give the advantage to the pitcher in that situation.

                                            EDIT: Placed an additional unit bet on this one

                                                        Thegenix, Alukk, TheLock and crayzee have been removed. As they didn't place any bet for 3 consecutive days. This list would be way too long to update everyday for 1 a week posters. I will also highlight the person who is in the lead units wise after each day. Just so they can rub it in. Remember, it's all in good fun or atleast that part is.

                                                        Also, please feel free to correct your unit total with your next bet post if you notice an error. Some people I was factoring in to win 2 units and not just risking 2 units. The reason behind is because of having to figure out what they actually won with a 2 unit bet when the line is -129. Maybe posting your risk and to win total? If not, it's not a big deal. Would just make it easier for me.

                                                        Consenus pick: The pick today was KC money line for a total of 6.5 units wagered on it. This brings the consenus picks to 0-2 overall.
