$1000 parlay

pdx107 · 08-04-09, 07:51 AM

seems like a pretty good and relatively safe pick
I would personally lean on the Tigers as well as Cubs

How does -210 and -165 pay 2.3-1?

$1000 x $1.613 (Florida) x $1.478 (Detroit) = $2384 return. basic math my son not rocket science

Rookie pitcher with very good numbers going for the Orioles. Not all rookie starts go well, but always tough to go against a pitcher that Detroit batters have not seen before.

Matusz is the Orioles top pitching prospect. These guys either come in and get lit up or throw no-run games.

BOL

But ill pass on this one. Agree with Panek.

I'd rather do a Rays/Royals parlay than a Marlins/Tigers parlay, but good luck.

Brian Matusz is lights out. If you had checked his numbers out from Class A and AA, then you would know why he is on the fast track to the majors. The Nats are a JM play vs Marlins.

This wager must not have been researched well before it was made. The appropriate call would have been to take both dogs on the RL straight for $300 apiece plus the viggo, and then play both RRL's too (Nat-1.5+310) and (Orioles-1.5+265) for $100 apiece.

That being said, the professional doesn't parlay. The professionals' bread and butter is the straight bet. Now if you want to cover your ass instead of taking a hit on this one, I suggest that you play at the very least the RRL's for both sides straight so that you can recoup some of your money in the event that you lose. In other words hedge your parlay.

I think it's a solid bet, Washburn is a proven hurler who's been lights out over the second half. Detriot is a very good home team, Baltimore is one of the worst road teams in the league, if not the worst. A Rookie making his debut on the road in a game that is very important for Detriot. I'll take Detriot all day.

Josh Johnson should also have no problems shuting down the Nats and we all know they'll score plenty of runs tonight! I think we might see a big night out of Nick Johnson as well.

First off I think Tigers win, but The Orioles have started 6 rookies after tonight and 4 have won their first start. AS for his math his numbers are correct.

Detroit all the way in this one

If anyone would have asked for a write up the above was pretty much my logic for thinking this parlay was a no brainer...but I see some are not so sure. The money is down so bring it on.

As stated Baltimore's has brought up new guys this year and so far only one has lost their first game. So that stat does bother me on a 2-1 Fav.

Good Luck

Out of interest Pimike how many of those were playing away? As we all know Baltimore travel badly.

PAPSMEAR · 08-04-09, 08:03 PM

Pimike right Pap wrong. 7-1 hammering by the Orioles top of the 7th. My parlay looks as good as f*%#$d. Marlins look like they'll get the prize. Not much help to me though.
