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...

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.

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.
