No worries, my man. No rush at all, I just wanted to bring it back up is all.

Response has been posted.

Thanks TA......for responding.......I learn a lot from you guys...in this forum....

Just don't learn from the wrong people.

i am on the over, surely hope it's a home-run derby

Thanks from me too TA. To be honest though, the only thing I've learned is how to make bank tailing some of your plays. But I'm ok with that.

Maybe some day you'll share your copy of Grey's Sports Almanac with the rest of us before its too late.

You're welcome Jay. Go back and see which teams won, lost and pushed. See what they have in common (or don't) and it should start to move you forward. Books know it's coming, but they can't stop it; similar to high tide rolling in.

Nice reference.

I like how you said "our thread".......tells me the kind of person you are

Thank you JR007, but it is OUR thread as everyone who contributes to get it gets rewarded (karma) and thank you.

with your and our action.

My son told me, he's seeing something 'special' so far from Max tonight. That last pitch was clocked at 99mph.

[TodaysAction]

Special thanks to JVP3122, they are greatly appreciated.

[TodaysAction]

Worth cleared the fence for his first round tripper in the majors.

Tigers up 2-0.

JD doubles. His hit streak continues.

anyone else here liking the stros? Looks like thats the next game i may be playing tonight. Hoping to here some opinion seeing as all i can see is pointing towards another pittsburgh loss...and houston isn't too expensive tonight.

[TodaysAction]

Enjoy the rest of the game, back later.

[mistral]

hello guys!

parlay"white sox ml and mariners ml" what about this picks?

Have read threads in which posters are on both sides/teams of the game. As for myself, I'll and wish you if you go that route.

[jaymac82980]

Thanks TA. I've read the same as well. But I just like the Astros tonight, and since youre not going against them, thats ok with me. Besides, thanks to Paul the Octopus, I'm up 1k for the day, so a small wager on a crappy team playing a crappier team doesnt worry me too much.

[VegasPlayer]

Anybody see the bunt single by Arroyo? I don't ever think I've seen a bunt successfully placed in that manner (pop up) and that area (behind the mound) of the infield. I'm sure it will be on ESPN if you missed it.

[BetIt]

4-1 det :d

[yomillionaire]

Saw it Vegas... pretty crazy.

[Full Time Hobo]

4-2 Detroit Final.

Thanks TA one cashes tonight

[TodaysAction]

It shouldn't have been that close but a win is a win. 1-0-0, +1.00 unit heading into the late game. On a down note, Mags went 0 for 5 tonight - look for a huge improvement next series (vs MN beginning Friday).

[TodaysAction]

4-2 Detroit Final.

Thanks TA one cashes tonight

Glad it cashed for yourself, others and on this end as well.

[BetIt]

Always great to win the first game!

[godhelpme]

Good call TA, lets go D bags....err backs. Hopefully they will light it up in the desert

[dodger33]

1-0!
TA I've never seen you bet points but did you see Fishheads special line thread? If you were betting your points at the book and wagers like these you might have been able to buy a big screen.

danrman the contrarian - where did you disappear to for all them months?

good to see you back.

[TheLemonDropKid]

Hey TA.....it's in my nature to share "funny" or "inspirational" video clips.

Is that acceptable here?

I like to free up my spirit every once in awhile and get away from a "wagering perspective"

I have noticed on gambling sites, that it is unacceptable to "distract" people from their "thang"......

My video clips could range from "Pure and Holy", "Foul and Funny", or Anything goes.

I guess I'm just looking for something more than just "Wager-World Material". People that have really good philosophies.......

Here is one of mine:

LDK Philosophy 101

No matter what you are currently "doing"....you are "ALWAYS ON AUDITION" for Bigger and Better Things!!

I am ALWAYS "scoping out my tribe"......ALWAYS.

And I am always trying to prove myself "worthy" of "greater things and groups".

It's a wonderful balance.

[TodaysAction]

Always great to win the first game!

Any win is a good win. One of the things I'll tell you is that when we go to the horse track, I won't get anything to drink until I've cashed one ticket.

Good call TA, lets go D bags....err backs. Hopefully they will light it up in the desert

Looks like the pair are going to split Wednesday.

1-0!

I did, and thank you for asking, but while it was better than SBR's line, I did not see it as "special". Be careful when FH starts putting those out there, he's hoping to break everyone prior to pigskin time. Not to mention, he doesn't cover the rake. I hope AZ gets at least one more for your action to cash. Currently, the majority of SBR points wagers are done in their book.

TA....you have my "login" and "password"......I'm not really sure how i crossed you.......but whatever....

His or yours, doesn't really matter, it was nice seeing some in here.

Don't get why you're disappointed.

In terms of what?

If I do that would be news to me. If you're referring to something in the past, another computer is in use on this end. The other one was blanked out and given away.

[TodaysAction]

Wednesday log rolled out a split from the pair, taking 0.02 units from the accounts.

Congrats to those who cashed.
Condolences to those who didn't.
Afternoon games Thursday.
Siggy will be updated shortly.

It's really stupid..........and I want to save others from this bullshit.

Good morning....everyone...read somewhere that 'getaway' days......are under plays...key players get rested for the next series and that umpires call quicker games.....have no stats on this but will try to dig the article out...FYI

[JR007]

MANY BASEBALL 'SHOCKERS' COME
AGAINST 'GET AWAY' FAVORITES
Winning handicappers have learned over the years to pay a lot of attention to 'get away' days in Major League baseball. You'd think all 162 games would be the same. That's not the case at all. For a variety of little reasons that add up, 'get away' games can prove to be little anomalies that you can exploit for big profits.
What is a 'get away' game?
Here's how I define them for my handicapping purposes. It's any game where a team has to travel afterward to get to another city. They have a plan to catch! For road teams, it's obviously any series finale when there's another game set the next day. For a home team, it's the final game of a homestand when there's another game set the next day. As a handicapper, I'm ONLY focusing on the games where there isn't a day off. I'm concerned with teams who are playing now, have a plane to catch, then have to play again the next day or night.
What happens to these teams? Here's what I've found over the years:
*Offenses tend to swing for the fences rather than patiently building an offense. This plays right into the hands of the opposing pitcher.
*Managers often rest star players in day games that are get-aways.
*Impatient offenses missing their star players don't score runs!
*Occasionally on the road, grown men stay up later than they should doing things they shouldn't. This can be a big deal in an afternoon get-away spot.
*That means you can find some great value situations going against distracted, shorthanded, or bleary-eyed favorites.
*That also means you can win with some Unders when both teams are swinging freely in quickly played low scoring games.
I'll talk about totals another day. Since I'm a handicapper who likes to SHOCK THE SYSTEM, I want to tell you how to find underdogs with nice payoffs that pop up in this situation.
*Look to take ROAD UNDERDOGS if the HOME team is in a get-away spot. Technically BOTH teams will have a plane to catch. That's an equalizer in a game that doesn't have an equal Vegas moneyline! It would be similar to a football game in bad weather, or a late season NBA game with nothing at stake. You want dogs in virtual coin flips because they make you money over time. If the home offense is playing impatiently, they create a virtual coin flip.
*Look to take HOME UNDERDOGS if the ROAD team is in a get-away spot. This is fairly common now because there are so many league powers who are laying odds on the road. They're likely to underachieve in a series finale knowing a trip is coming up right after the game. Ideally, you'll have a home team that isn't travelling getting odds from a visitor who is. But, even if BOTH teams are travelling, the value is with the underdog because this is an 'equalizer' situation.

Good info! Thanks!
