Today: 2-1-0, +0.46 units
YTD: 5-1-0, +2.93 units

Good to see you Foghorn. Looks like the DET @ KC game was a frustrating one for both of us. The Royals are terrible on offense I knew that, but man could the Tigers have finished them off multiple times! I could have been even more frustrated if the Marlins had screwed up their game, which their horribly pitching bullpen very nearly did.

TA, I hope you're ok man, good luck in these hard times for you.

Betting two dogs today:

CHC @ 2,65
BAL @ 2,55

Both 1 unit.

Really, does Vegas think these teams are the Nats or Royals? The Cubs still do have some pretty good players and the Orioles are starting Matusz who is a real stud. I also find the TOR line pretty suspect, but the chalk is less and (speaking as a Blue Jays fan) the position players behind Romero do kind of suck. But Romero as a heavy groundballer and Toronto as a power team (even Gonzalez homered!) seem a perfect fit for Arlington.

1u = normal bet = whatever you bet normally. 3u = 3 times your normally bet. A unit could mean anything to anyone. For most people, 1u mean to win 1u.

So LAD ml is -167, 1u = $167 to win $100
But if your 1u = $50, then 1u = $83.5 to win $50

OK, but then I think this question still remains with me:

What does win 1 unit mean and what does risk 1 unit mean?

8:05pm, TOR, risk 1 unit
8:10pm, CWS, win 1 unit

Thnx...

Dodgers -1 -120 (5 units)

Thnx...

Example:

Line = -120

Risk 1 unit to win .83 units
or...
Win 1 unit (risking 1.2 units)

Usually if someone posts a play like I did above it means you want to win the noted amount.

There is a formula; I'll post it later for you or you could look it up. I posted it in the MLB newbies thread for those guys.

Very good analysis.

Thanks Therber.

Yesterday went 2-0 +2.5 units

Looking at the lines, I'm looking at Toronto, Washington, Cubs, Mets, Balt, Minnesota, White Sox... I'm sure I'll whittle them down though.

You mean minor league baseball? Do you know of any other places besides Greek?

**TodaysAction** · 04-08-10, 01:28 PM

It's been brought to my attention that a few are having trouble understanding what is being meant when using smilies or text. Lines will vary from place to place. Dogs risk a number of units while favorites are played to win 'x' number of units. There will be less than a handful of times when I play a favorite to win less than 1 unit - to me, and how I do things, if I can not be comfortable enough in placing the wager to win at least 1 unit, it doesn't make sense in placing it. If and/or when these times occur, they will be noted. Also if/when those happen, I am checking something very specific to see if a/the condition holds true (always tinkering with the process a little at a time and sometimes its better to have real wagers involved). Remember, dogs risk and chalk is to win.

I have a contact to a local in your area and other books will have the games. Today it was placed through the Greek as I was there, checking on certain things. Tigers' game is back (on). Enjoy the games today.

**Panekkkk** · 04-08-10, 01:52 PM

Give the Tigers a little Detroit luck TA!
