    Yea so say you want to put $100 on the -1, youd put 50 on ml and 50 on -1.5

    OK thanks. I'm like you, I can't get -1 lines. I usually put 1.5 u on ml and 1 u on rl. I guess I'm hedging against the 1 run victory. This makes more sense. Less investment up front.

    5D offers -1 RL, but you should always place two bets (ML and RL) and "roll your own" -1 RL. 5D usually overprices those by 5-10c, a hefty price to pay just to avoid a little extra work and math.

    I will definitely check you out on this, STF. Gotta do my Masters Pool tonight and love tailing a few plays from experts like yourself for actual wagers. Thanks!

    Don't blame you. However, check out the weather report and his numbers vs current A's lineup participants.

    Try playing under and betting twinks! Apparently this good start has me overconfident cause I don't generally make a habit of going against oaktown, ever. Especially against crappy teams. That ok tho wind will save Hughes mistakes. We gonna cash tribe, tampons and royals gonna slug it out and we gonna be treated to Shelby miller pounding reds bats with his heavy fb on a chilly day while cards tee off on leake and reds garbage pen.

    Reds always find a way vs. the Cards. Hate to say it, but it's true. Bunch of choke artists.

    I told ya the play yesterday was the over. I had no interest in a side, I knew ya'll would hit Lynn. Sadly ya missed your chance for a win this series cause leake made it all of 16 innings vs cards in 3 starts last year, it was a exciting 16 innings tho as we scored 15 runs off him in that time. Now u ready for the bad news? Ur pen a freakin hot mess so after leake gets beat up on then some other gas can will come in and get hit

    No, leave as-is. Now 8 runs means a push rather than a win. Oh well. Good news is Willingham is out, and i actually was expecting him to play. Total opened at 8' then dropped to 8, so not overly concerned, but pissed at myself for jumping gun, but that's what happens when i have a 10 am to noon meeting and don't want to stare at my phone the entire time....

    If you start with "dont want to jinx it" that should be your first clue that you probably shouldn't even post it. This loss is on you thunderpants. And Jim Johnson of course. Bum!

    And I was thinking that if the A's don't score anymore then it would be all good.

    I watched the Twins first 2 at bats and turned it off. I knew it was dead. Onward and upward. Lets get the next one.
