    One would think scoring 13 runs in a game would be enough to win. Apparently not. Yikes.

    55-27 (I did this really fast so it might be off a game here or there)

    I think my record is slightly better including the totals. I have only had 1 bad day with totals.

    The Orioles are going to beat the Yankees. The Yankees aren't scoring and the Orioles are scoring on bushel baskets. The Orioles starter is really tough. Sergio hasn't had a mjaor league start in a few years. I think the Orioles send him back to the minors.

    The Rays on the road usually lose after a one game losing streak.

    Anyway, we'll see what happens.

    Not that you're going to change your mind (or I, for that matter, as my bets are already placed), but Clayton Richard, the starter for my White Sox, has been god awful as of late (~4 ERs in ~4 IP). Even if they do get the game in tonight (unlikely with the same front that cancelled the game in KC night rolling in), it would take a small miracle for the Sox to pull it out.

    listen man - dont even attempt to insult my intelligence. many morons around here will believe the hype/bs artists that parade through these forums. so convenient for you that posts can only go back for the last 500. you even made public threads bashing your own record which was waaay under 500.

    i realize you worry a lot as to how others perecieve you. i dont care, but please dont now all of sudden say you werent running horrible for a while.

    you even publicly blasted yourself which i gave you credit for - dont retract since we cant view the posts now.

    My record when I started this thread.....and reset to 0-0

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/baseball-h...=Curious+Plays

    Okay, on July 4th I was 45-49 -13 units.

    Then I chased a little and got down 30 units.

    Then I did a big parlay that lost for 30 units and got down 60 units.

    Then I did a big play on a dog, forget if it was the Rangers or the Rays +125 for 60 units and made 75 units.

    Then I posted in CKs thread for a few days and went 16-17.

    I may have had a few other games in this period.

    So, according to the above I was 61-66. I found another post around this same time where I say I am down 7 games W/L. I was also up about 10 units. I'll take being down 7 games and up 10 units anytime.

    Okay, so I'll take that as the way things stood. So, that would make it 61-68.

    Then I started this thread to answer a challenge from some smart ass know it alls who claim my basketball and college football records are "impossible".

    The challenge was 500 plays, so I started my YTD over.

    So, technically, my YTD is 7 games W/L worse than listed in here.

    Since I am at 67% right now, I'm wondering "WHAT IN THE **** DIFFERENCE DOES THIS MAKE"?

    All you have to do to verify any of this is to do a search on "Curious Plays", that returns my daily threads that I used to run. Then look in CKs thread or one of the Dr. Crumbs thread that solobass made, there are a few daily posts of mine in there.

    Attention all smack talking crackheads

    I'm not tolerating any more shit talkers in my thread. I post my picks, you are free to follow them or not follow them. My record is a matter of public record. I ran a daily thread titled "Curious Plays Date" for a while, then I posted in CK or solobass's threads for a few days, then I started this thread.

    I reset the YTD to 0-0 because this thread is my answer to some smack talking know it alls in the handicappers forum. I was pretty much even when I started this thread.

    If you don't like me and don't like the way I do things then start your own thread and show us how smart you are.

    Don't come in here talking trash, I'll just put you on ignore and report you to the mods.

    I have nothing more to say about this.

    The Reds are def not explosive. They have a very weak lineup now with Jay Bruce and Hernandez out for a few weeks. Votto and Phillips can hit, plus Gomes has been a nice pick up. Arroyou can get lit up at any time though. Plus the Dodgers killed them the first two games. I imagine similar results today. Just my opinion though. Good luck with your plays today.

    Its funny, when I play my initial card EXACTLY the way my system says the picks go 10-2, 7-2, 9-2, 16-6, 12-4. The two times that I tried to "improve" the system I went 2-8 and 9-12.

    I'm glad that these 2 bad days happened actually, because it is confirmation that my system "works" and is not just giving random results that just happen to be very good.

    Well ...the signature of a good system on the verge of becoming a great one, I hope.

    Keep up the good work.

    We realize you don't have to do this. You can just as well post one or two and keep the rest for yourself and still receive accolades.

    But it helps those folks who have dug themselves into a huge pit by making some wagering blunders.

    The Cards burned me tonight

    BOL tomorrow.

    As stated above. Thanks for sharing your plays. Looks like you have a nice system then. If it's not broke, just let it go then. Look foward to the rest of your plays this season.
