Nothing to lose sleep over no coin, teams historically don't like to give run support for the ace.
Nothing to do but move along

It happens No coincidence but one thing is certain, let's not start dropping 'F' bombs in here. Thanks for understanding.

Here's my take:

Thursday, the Rangers were the play. I lost big.
Friday, the Rangers were the play. I lost small.

Tonight, I threw them into a parlay only, which (of course) went 6-for-7. Given Lee's track record in Arlington and the bizarreness of this series before, I have no one to blame for myself for even considering that game, let alone putting it on the table.

But I'm not going to beat myself up over Thursday and Friday's plays. They weren't "square." If you took Baltimore, you weren't "sharp" -- you were lucky. Best home team in baseball vs. the worst road team in baseball, with a Top-5 bullpen that just happened to implode out of nowhere on back-to-back nights.

It was just for fun -- $5 paid $137.

I never play parlays for over $5.

I get that No coincidences but try to keep it PG-13 clean. It's not easy at times, but learn from each loss, and you will surpass you're expectations sooner than you think. We are fine.

Don't get hung up on 'labels' and stop wasting your money on such large number of team parlays. If you have the desire, do a series of two-teamers getting each combo along the way. Books make a fortune from people trying to swing for the fences (parlay). Just trying to help No coincidences.

Well said.

Next time you want to waste $5, send it to me and I'll put it on a game where at least there's a chance to get a return.

Thank you No coincidence.

Time to call it night for these bones need some rest.

Actually, TA, I've hit nine parlays of 15:1 or more since last September. Now of course I've misfired on a lot, but I've still made over $1,000 while only playing about $500 worth of $5 parlays in the last 10-plus months.

I don't make real big wagers on single games -- I'm more of an action junkie than someone trying to make a living doing this -- so parlays are just a fun way of keeping things loose and lively for me.

CLIFF LEE IN ARLINGTON (7 starts)
7.62 ERA
1.55 WHIP
.311 opposing batting average
.472 opposing slugging percentage
Let's compare those to his career numbers in all parks...
CLIFF LEE'S CAREER MARKS
3.84 ERA
1.27 WHIP
.261 opposing batting average
.406 opposing slugging percentage
By the time you read this, he'll have pitched Saturday Night in his debut with the team. You can factor in the numbers from that game with those prior seven starts (and remember that he was facing Baltimore, one of the worst teams in baseball).
Clearly, you can't give Texas the American League crown just yet. Lee hasn't pitched well in the heat, and there's still six weeks of starts left for him in July and August alone. Even if he starts out well he might wear down. This is far from the sure thing the media was making it out to be.

It is well documented that Texas wears down significantly in that heat. By September, they're probably going to be mush. Gonna play em anyway. Just can't accept that they're gonna tank 4 straight.

I don't believe this is Lee 's final stop, but we shall see.

Generally, I sit back and watch one game championships and this is the case today. Were I to place anything on the game, it would be over 2 for a small amount. Greek has it at -103. Let me make this perfectly clear, no wager of any sort on this end for this game.

with your and everyone else's action.

I hope and think so as well, but they still need to play the game.

Win twice, to get paid once. Ok, if you say so and it works for you, but I'll take my chances with them in singles.

Darth Vader does indeed refer to the Yankees.

Also, when the line is <0 the unit amount is to win, when the line is >0 it's the risk amount.

therber2 · 07-11-10, 12:29 PM

Good luck today guys. Agree, hard to believe TEX will give up 4 here.

CUBs/LOS over -7.5 EV looks like a great play to me. That total just looks faaaar too low.

godhelpme · 07-11-10, 12:41 PM

Yea I jumped on the LAD over, good way to hit the All Star break hopefully...

Change of mind, put 11 SBR points up to win 10 SBR points on the over 2 (-110).
No real wagers on the game remained intact.
