    Same with this game. I had some fortune late but a winner is a winner. I've lost many a games like this where my only consolation was, "well at least I was on the right side."

    Who care about that if it loses? Who cares about beating the closer of it loses?

    Maybe I'm evolving lol
    baseball one of the only sports where this line movement means didly squat.... heavy chalk loses everyday. +170 and above hits EVERYDAY.. I was on Zona Early.. Greinke wasn't about to penetrate us two starts in a row. and he pitches well on the road.. never even checked the scoree until after the game.

      I pay less and less attention to the lines. They're pointless. The people setting them are just trying to entice action.

      It seems like paying attention to teams that are hitting or teams that have rested bullpens pays off the most. Teams go on winning streaks and losing streaks.

      Ride the streaks. Example, I faded Chicago every game against San Diego. I figure I would lose at some point since the Padres were heavy underdogs....nope. It's not a coincidence either. Some schmuck out there probably chased the Cubs despite the fact that they aren't hitting at all. They're struggling. Why would you back them? With that said, the Books kept making them -175, -190, etc.

        I agree with all of this. When a team is not hitting ride the wave until the manager shakes up the lineup. Check the lineups before betting . Managers tend to wait a while before making changes especially in the first half of the season.

          Baseball is tough to bet. I had Marlins and Angels last night. Tough beats.

            Never had a problem with him. There nothing wrong with disagreeing on things as we all have our own ways of going about this and there certainly lots of different ways one can be successful.

            I just don't get why some ya'll can't respectfully disagree? Different opinions are what makes things interesting. I understand why nc rubs folks wrong way at times but at end of day getting bent out of shape over it and behaving as you are in his thread just comes off as petty and rude. If you have that big a problem with somebody it pretty easy to go on with your life in your own thread.

              You really turning this into a dick measuring contest huh? Why anyone is worried with anything other than their own bankroll is incredibly puzzling to me.. I ain't trying to come down on you or take sides, just so happens you the one who littering his thread with this nonsense. What your agenda here?

                @bank: he trolls other people, including me earlier this week. I've always known what he is, but never cared enough to actually call him out. It's about time he gets his own medicine. He's a big boy and can defend himself. His picks suck, he sucks, and he can suck me.

                  My pleasure buddy.

                  To me it like this, if someone doesn't like you fine, by all means they entitled to their opinion. Hell i don't like a lot of ppl I just don't see much point spending my time worrying about it!!

                  Questioning your integrity or track record is insane and completely different story tho. we all know damn well you post and track every season and have been for what 7-8 years? Anyone attacking you in this matter flat out wrong...

                      He talked a big game last night and lost. Meanwhile I spent a whole 5 minutes capping the Twins first five innings and won while drunk on Jack Daniels. So here's the deal. I will leave this prick's loser thread alone so he can keep tracking his Skittles units. I usually mind my own business and do my own thing, but I don't want to ever want to hear from this f\*\*k again. He doesnt rate to address me, in person or digitally. Now here's your thread back, you girls have fun. Bank, good luck to you.

                        Lol. Well at least that shit was funny!! Personally I don't think I could say I'm better than anyone at this even tho I probably am! Lol. We all lose buddy you know this, none of us have a crystal ball!!

                        I know this unlike you why it so curious to me, I have no doubt nc make some type snide condescending remark to set you off, he certainly has been known to do so. Just seems incredibly unproductive to spend so much time seeking revenge over it., that just me tho., gl to you as well machine.

                          I've never been in the camp that line moves mean anything far as determining the outcome so all I can say there is welcome aboard team logic!! Lol

                          I disagree with second part tho as a individual game result means very little, we all gonna lose 40-50% of our plays so in the long run it still means a great deal to get better of the closer, not as a predictive quality simply as the effect on our bankroll throughout the season..

                            Is the chicago money pushing this line? or the idea they have to win at some point? Everybody here likes cards. Hope we all win.

                              Biggest thing I dislike bout cards is seems everyone on them. Certainly good reason, imo you gotta be freaking insane to lay that number on lackey.

Not hard to pick Marlins tonight when DBacks are only averaging 1.4 runs per game on the road vs lefties, but we'll see if it holds up. I would have passed on this game, but if you win...then my congrats for calling it and winning it. Now why don't you do your thing and leave me the f\*\*k alone in my threads so I don't have to come in here and scold you like a step child. Good luck
                                nice stat. i'd like to get more detailed stats. where'd you get this one from?

                                  True. i normally don't go against that type of line move, but value is there in a game that should be even.

                                    I have no problem being on other side of steam. Hell lot of times I am against as it tends to create value on the other team.. The fact there a lot of money on a team doesn't make it the right side. I've always trusted my own capping and simply play when I believe a teams chances are greater than price indicates. Has worked well for me over the years.

                                      WTF are you talking about? First of all, I barely even said anything in your dumbass thread about the Red Sox and Nationals losing (which was hilarious given your reasoning for them supposedly not being motivated, BTW). Second, I "talked a big game"? I made one pick yesterday, you freaked out because you couldn't find it for whatever reason, it lost, then you spent the rest of the night (and into today) trolling this thread.

                                      Talk about mentally unhinged.

                                          Lol. I honestly expected to see at least one remark that came off in some type of way..

                                          not even gonna start a argument/discussion about how silly premise of the thread was to begin with. Only bet motivated team? No clue how one would go about determing such a thing during a random single gm of a 162 gm season?? Maybe later on when one team isn't playing for anything, outside of that seems to me be impossible to judge such a thing.

                                            You girls crack me up. Bank let me help. NATS were 9.5 games up in the division when they faced the weak ass Padres. How pumped do you think the Nats were for that game? You think they were excited about the game, focused in, ready for some good disciplined at-bats? Or maybe just swinging at first pitch thinking the game is in the bag. C'mon man, use some common sense. I've seen these unmotivated teams play out like this all the time. The classic trap game.

                                            Same thing with Boston. You dont think they got a scouting report before the game that told them their opponent was a gas can waiting to destruct? Of course they did. So they swing for the fence on every fastball and say "f\*\*k it, we'll get him next inning." Except it doesn't happen.

                                              I disagree with that. Good teams know picking on bad teams how you make the playoffs. Especially in Red Sox case where they in a ultra competitive division. Don't think you can hindsight it and say since they played poorly they weren't motivated, why they win the other games then? I just don't think trying to determine motivation is anything other than a exercise in futility. But as I say all the time there plenty of ways to go about what we do and just cause I don't think something is worth considering doesn't mean it isn't., just don't believe there any way anyone could start a thread and simply tell us everyday which team motivated and have success on such a premise..

                                              There no need for This whole "you girls" bs. I'm a grown ass man and assume you are as well. You wouldn't come up to me at a bar and call me a bitch so let's keep it respectful here. Thanks..

                                                Okay, if you say so. Good luck to you guys, do whatever the f\*\*k you want. I'm out of here unless, like the Godfather, NC starts pouting again at me and pulls me back in. I need to go work on my own games. I actually don't think it's hard to spot a trap game. But if you think it is, you've always got good old Coiner to offer you his expert advice from his Obama phone.

                                                  i don't believe in traps so feel no need to identify them.. I'll leave all that noise to the line reading experts. I cap the games a way that makes sense to me, play where I see value. To me everything else is just noise.. don't see how hard it is to discuss this stuff in respectful fashion, that what men do where I'm from..gl man
