$2400 play

That's about the best pick of the day. I won't however comment on the advisability of laying half of one's bankroll on one play.

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 08:42 AM

I knew the money management angle would play a part here but instead of playing 10% of my bank on only half confident picks I've been biding my time waiting for the right game to plunge and today's the day

Your philosophy is right anyways! You actually make it in gambling by HAMMERING a few plays once in a while. Tampa RL is a no-brainer.

Well folks, kansas city should get one of these 2 .

I've been as quiet as a church mouse lately. Finally found the game. Playing half my bank on this one. Was tempted to go all in but decided against it purely due to a lack of courage. Tampa Bay to ice the Royals at -126 on the run line. Niemann v Chen no brainer. Better bats. Better bull pen. Superior side. Home ground advantage. Coming off an 8-2 cake walk yesterday. Confidence sky high. This game is going to get messy for KC. Let's go cash this.

There is no baseball play ever worthy of a half bankroll period

Agreed to the fullest, but on a RL its a bad idea

Diagree. There are games to load up on and they should be used sparingly but they are out there.

I agree in sports other than baseball. I would say in baseball a big play should be in the 10% to 20% of bankroll at most... not half.

Royals aren't even trying to win anymore this year. Looking very good so far.

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 04:51 PM

3-1 bottom of the 6th - the one run buffer is now gone...starting to get a little nervous

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 04:58 PM

Some of the Rays batters are making tard CHEN look good...what the hell they should be carving this clown up

GL man, you should be ok, an insurance run in the bottom of the 7th would be great. I dropped $2,800 on the ML to win $1,000.

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:07 PM

I'm confident that they win this it's just the 1.5 start

Hope you're right man. I think you collect no doubt on the ML. Let's do this. C'mon Rays start hitting

obamaismyuncle · 08-01-09, 05:10 PM

Frickin Kapler tagged out at home, come on bartlett, I'm also on the RL, for a much smaller amount

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:23 PM

3-1 going to the bottom of the 8th. So if we do get screwed its going to be another 9th inning tear jerker. Need some insurance bad.

obamaismyuncle · 08-01-09, 05:26 PM

Longoria is due

obamaismyuncle · 08-01-09, 05:26 PM

5-1 Crawford 2 run HR

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:27 PM

Feeling a whole lot better now...it's not over until the fat lady sings but a 2 run insurance is a lovely thing

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:38 PM

0 out loaded bases...more runs coming surely

Pajda · 08-01-09, 05:39 PM

And bases loaded with no outs

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:41 PM

chalk another run up. 6-1. Still 0 out loaded bases. The Royals bullpen is imploding. Beautiful to watch.

ASH0479 · 08-01-09, 05:43 PM

There was never a doubt on this one....I was on the RL and -2.5....lets party

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:43 PM

7-1 on a sacrifice fly ball. Life's good.

pimike · 08-01-09, 05:44 PM

NICE

What price the -2.5? My book doesn't offer it but if they did I probably would have taken a piece of the action myself although until the 8th innings things were a little uncertain

obamaismyuncle · 08-01-09, 05:45 PM

4 run cushion to cover the RL, going into the top of the 9th, should be good as gold

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:46 PM

so the lay of the land is 4 run insurance going into the last. If they blow this I'm looking for the nearest bridge

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:47 PM

What is Shouse like at closing out games...don't know much about him...better know his shit or I might have to pay him a visit

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:49 PM

1 out

obamaismyuncle · 08-01-09, 05:49 PM

1 Out!

PAPSMEAR · 08-01-09, 05:50 PM

I like Bennett good pitching change IMO
