    Hell in football, I don't even play spreads much cause they're so damn sharp all the time
    So where again did I say lines were 100% efficient and oddsmakers did no wrong?

    That's all you've got as evidence that I supposedly believe that? What?

    I love how people come in here after the fact the M's are down 6 - 1 and get on the dude for making a pick.

    He had a play that he liked and shared it with the board. Get over it.

    Bad play in retrospect obviously. It happens.

    I get on him because he doesn't trust his analysis and will play something because he believes Vegas is always smarter than him and if they're off on a line, it's clearly a trap


    That's why I get on him. He won't admit it, but it's the truth


    I don't have a problem with somebody analyzing a game and then being wrong on their own accord. That happens to all of us

    I took the Mariners because I liked Seattle. I figured Beavan would settle in after a rough patch against some very good opponents recently and Billingsley can never be trusted, especially on the road.

    You can "get on me" all you want, but to tell you the truth, your comments are stupid and irrelevant.

    Billingsley's era this season is a whopping 2 points below Beavan's. Dodgers also have a better bullpen and lineup, even without Kemp


    If you really believed that, I have no problem with it. I just hate the people on this site who are 100% convinced that Vegas is efficient all the time and that when a line is off, it's a trap
