    Dale Sveum

    Let me get this straight: he used Marmol instead of Camp on Friday to close in a three-run game because of Camp's horrible track record vs. the Red Sox.

    So tonight, he brings Camp into a tie game on national TV against these same Red Sox in the 7th inning when he's been pitching the 9th for a while now?

    Where did Theo get this guy?

    Double, single, out of the game. 2nd and 3rd, no one out.

    I swear, sometimes it seems like managers are intentionally trying to lose games. They can't be this stupid, can they?

    Not even watching -- just stuck at work and it's up on my computer.

    MLB managers and weathermen: two professions where constantly being wrong still gives you job security.

    And if I started with a $5,000 investment bankroll putting in a few huge plays (which I could do if I wanted to) and for some reason I got hit with a string of "cold cards" (bad beats) right off the bat, then what?

    For instance, you probably saw I had 10 units on the Phillies Saturday. I know you had Toronto, but let's be honest: you completely lucked out there and that's exactly the type of sequence of events that I can't just leave up to chance with a good portion of my savings that will otherwise go to my kids' college education.

    Yes if I could do it again I would not have backed Romero, but on the other hand today I backed the Phillies and would not hesitate to do it again in the same spot.

    Son, you should only be betting a few % of your BR on any play. Mathy would never tell you to bet 2 dimes on a play when you have a 5 k BR

    Besides when you are starting out there are ways to make over 100k in guaranteed money with a starting BR of 10-20k

    @NOC when someone says GUARANTEED--run. Go spend some time with your family or friends. Avoid the parasites.

    Indeed, is your 9-5 job's salary guaranteed?

    Closed-minded fools never get ahead because they are scared.

    The money is not guaranteed, nothing in life is. What I mean is there are a number of ways to earn a lot of money sports betting without caring who wins the games.

    It is or it isn't?

    Let's start with a winner tonight.
