    Friday - Pair of 5's Sir

    Let's recap yesterday's selection:

    Mariners +120 (W)

    The Contrarian selection is positive unit and positive money flow. All plays are documented and spreadsheeted.

    Thanks for the tails and the fades.

    Contrarian Radar

    The Tigers go on the contrarian radar in the early game. Contrarian line indicators are present, awaiting further confirmation. Will report back prior to gametime.

    Contrarian Radar II

    We add another team to the contrarian radar. The Pirates get a look with major contrarian line indicators in place. A ton of money is going on Cincy. Give the Pirates a real good look. Similar indicators were present in yesterday's game when we played Seattle.

    The Mariners was a nice selection.

    Not a fan of RL's but Braves -1.5 vs Nats with Lowe going is tasty.

    A Mr. Lock sighting on the contrarian thread. I am indeed honored. For those of you who don't know TheLock, he is the most disciplined money management, sports betting guy I know. But enough of the formalities. Nice to see Lock get warmed up for Vegas my friend.

    Po5,

    Any chance you would consider posting these all in one running thread for the season? I am interested in monitoring your progress and would like to just subscribe to one thread so I can be notified when you post. If you prefer day by day, I understand.

    Thanks.

    Mr. Capitan, I put out a thread asking posters if they preferred a season long thread or a daily thread specific to MLB. It was overwhelming that posters wanted to see the daily thread. They said it was easier to read and navigate thru the latest results. I do hope this explains my position.

    Look forward to chatting again.

    It's Official

    The Tigers piss off the squares today by taking the home opener. This play, as I mentioned earlier, was a carbon copy of the Seattle angle yesterday.

    Tigers -145 (W)

    Selection III

    As I stated earlier, the contrarian indicators on the Pirates are strong. Tons of money going on the Reds. Reds started out -137, now -165. I am inclined to wait until it get closer to gametime but I have a feeling this line will reverse itself not in my favor.

    Go to the window and get the Buccos.

    Pirates +150

    The Under Cubs play completes the 2-0 for the day. Big money poured in on the over. However the contrarians slayed the money and took down the pot.

    Under Cubs 8 (W) +105

    Thanks for the Cubs 5's. Made me sweat it just a little in the 9th. Thought we were going extras.

    Got the Pirates for a smaller play at +160 - letting the house pay ME the juice on that one. Let's get it.

    I don't think we will get a chance with the Pirates, it should be rained out. Congrats on the tail with the Under Cubs.

    Pirates Cancelled

    The heavens have decided to cancel out the Pirates play. Rain, Rain darn, I really liked the Bucs tonight. All tailers, faders, bashers or any category of posters are welcomed.

    Good luck on the season Pair. Had the Bucs after the line got driven up as well. Seems everyone is expecting a fast start by Cueto again.

    Appreciate the shout out. The Bucs are my longshot futures play for the season. Laddered them with the Division, Pennant and World Series and the Over 69.5 wins. Hoping that they go over to recoup my futures plays.

    Glad to help. Contrarian opportunities present themselves more than you think at the beginning of the season. Don't forget proper money management, that's your lifeline. 70% winners don't mean squat, if you piss it away on the other 30%.

    Stay threaded.

    Recap

    No contrarian plays for the late games tonight. Contrarian indicators were weak and were statistically insignificant to pull the trigger.

    The Contrarios were able to cash on the Tigers. Significant and strong contrarian line indicators were present.

    The Under Cubs was a square fest, to say the least. Over money cometh hard, but no cheese.

    Let's recap today's selections:

    Tigers -145 (W)
    Under Cubs 8 +105 (W)
    Pirates - Rained Out

    Looking forward to tomorrow's card. Opposing points of view are welcomed. Contrarians need not apply.

    Very nice work today Pair

    Saturday will more than likely yield at least one tasty contrarian play
