Awfully large card for you, especially this early in the season and hope you end up cash positive.

...or maybe too early in the season to have a small card

That is my balls out card.

Damn, I think I'm gonna wait awhile before betting on Det again. They're having some trouble thus far.

Jeff I think you're overreacting to this afternoon's game. DET made several fundamental mistakes this afternoon. A couple examples, without listing their names but if you watched the game you should know who this is in reference to. One, batters when ahead in the count would take the grooved pitch. Two, dropping the ball. Three, aiming the ball. Four, chopping at the pitch. I could easily continue but won't. They collectively played poorly and will be playing 11 in 11 and you'll see some players on the infield and outfield this swing. Try not to overreact and remember, the season is still very very young.

Lot of talk about match-ups between pitcher and batters in here today, good. Something to keep in mind, while veteran players may have faced each other in the past, say 2 or 3, seasons ago will not have as much of an IMPACT on the turn at the plate. In part, it's also what has transpired this season.

Historical information is nice, useful, etc but the older it is, the less value it should take.

1-2-0 on the first trio taking 1.67 units from the accounts.

The second trio will be posted shortly as well as

No worries TA you will get it back tonight!

Hoping you post you plans in the next 5-10 mins cause' I have to work soon

superjeff24 · 04-14-10, 04:51 PM

I caught bits and pieces of the Det. game, and while they seem to be decent, I plan to wait a week or so before looking at them again. True, stats for the previous years aren't perfect, but they certainly factor. Especially when it relates to Starting Pitching IMO. A pitcher who can put up numbers on a poor team gets my vote ahead of someone who has a team like Boston or Yanks where they pitch under 3-4 run cushions alot. It's much more of a mental fortitude game to pitch when down 2-0, 2-1 than it does to go out with a 5 spot in the first on your side.

I am watching the line drop on Wash. Nats! Got down on it this morning at +205, it is down to +165 in my book. Looks like a good fade game for Philly this afternoon.
GL all!

TA had an important post about this game. I would (and probably TA too) recommend light unit(s) or a pass on this matchup. A bet on the Nats had good value before that move IMO.

Jimmy Rollins has officially been placed on the 15-Day DL and may require 2-4 weeks to be 100%.

Just make sure you keep an eye on this lineup..missing Rollins does hurt a lot, but I expect Victorino to fill in fine and come out of his slump in front of Polanco.

TodaysAction · 04-14-10, 05:44 PM

Sorry for the slight delay, had a delivery (`fridge) and needed to install it and remove the old one for a tenant. They said they were going to be here by 5pm.

2 Unit play, I definitely saw value this morning and have been reassured with the line movement.

VegasPlayer · 04-14-10, 07:11 PM

and as you see, to me, it's WA or pass and I

on it.

Prediction - Phils win by a Field goal in OT........

superjeff24 · 04-14-10, 07:21 PM

The wash phi game is going crazy. 13 runs through 2. still anyones game though. Looking forward to STL stomping the piss outta houston tonight. then focusing on some late nba games

superjeff24 · 04-14-10, 07:27 PM

nice pick on CWS. I thought Morrow would be less gross. He is the worst Jays starter no question. 7-0 already god

Sure is! General rule of thumb at least from my perspective, is that the "good" games are the ones you probably don't want to gamble on. Good in this case meaning it is anyones game, and that makes it exciting. You can sort of predict what a "good" game will be, and then you know a pass might be in order.

Looking forward to winning a medium sized bet I have on STL; however, I see TA also has a medium sized bet on Houston. I'll expect the worst and take a few units for the day as that will be my last bet. Win or lose; winning day. So...

therber2 · 04-14-10, 07:31 PM

7-7 with those Nats. Really glad you pointed that out TA. Good eye...and nice call with the Sox.

VegasPlayer · 04-14-10, 08:22 PM

Believe me, I got TA's message loud and clear, But I am playing a system here and if I don't stick to it, I'll soon be varying from it every other day. Trying to maintain some discipline here is all. Just wish the "system" would have dictated playing the over.

Shucks, Missed out on the SOX

- Back to work today after some sick time and had an appointment after work. Should have remembered that one tho.

Victorino homered to make it 9-7..somehow I knew that he'd break out of his funk tonight getting pitches to hit.

Congrats on sticking to your process and for getting the game correct.

Man was that an UGLY goal but it still counts. Wings up 1-0.

jwbama23 · 04-14-10, 10:00 PM

Really wanted to see Bret Myers get that win. I grew up playing with him and live down the street from his off season house. He pitched a hell of a game but they blew their chance in the 8th

TodaysAction · 04-14-10, 10:15 PM

The night ended up going 2-4-0 taking 3.67 units from the accounts. Siggy is current.

mcbaseball10 · 04-14-10, 10:50 PM

2-0 +4 units. Working back to the green after a rough start.

Darn STL only getting a 1 run victory. I had even money on the RL tonight.

Does anyone know where to find stats for pitchers 1st 2nd 3rd time through the order? I'm thinking of doing some combo of estimating how many innings is likely to go, how good he is each time through the order, and see if there is any strength to that method.
