The Contrarian starts off the day to add to a heater. While on the Bash trip, we go 8-4, winning the last 8. Bash was great, the Contrarian mafia was well represented.

No way the Phillies defeat the Padres on the road for the second time. Padres have not lost three in a row all season. Padres are getting a nice juicy + price.
We go contrarian.
Phillies -112

Let's recap the Vegas/Bash trip selection. We go 9-4 for the road trip. The Las Vegas books are hurting a bit from the contrarian selection. As a point of reference, the first 4 selections were loses. Since then, I have reeled off 9 winners in a row. But let's get back to reality. The Contrarian Observation Tower does not gloat for too long, knowing well enough that the capping game loses are just around the corner.
Hope you all are tailing. Drop in to let me know.
One small step for man, One giant leap for the Contrarians.

That 40% stuff to me is outrageous but nonetheless, it works for some, not me. Great meeting you Fishmonger, it was a pleasure.

Selection
Today's contrarian selection goes to the Brew Crew. The linesmakers put a -145 line out on the Hot Reds. A line that has enticed the square money clearly - 62%/38%.
-145 is a lay number that does not discourage chalk players and it won't.
Brewers +139

Selection II
After meeting many of you at the Bash and having discussion regarding the contrarian selection and some of its applied angles, we go to the Marlins total. We can clearly predict that the squares will see the combined ERA of pitcher exceeding 12 with a total of 9 posted by the linesmakers. Additionally, the number has moved from 8.5 to nine. We also add that the premium is on the Under at -113 making the squares swarm to the Over wager.
This is the contrarian angle of this total wager.
Under Marlins 9 -113

Selection III
We look at the Yankees/A's affair on the total. We will call the one, "The game that can't go Over." If you read my previous post on the Under play in the Marlins' game, you will see why we go contrarian on the Over Yankees.
Over Yankees 9 -115

If you notice, PAIR, Pinny's still holding on at 8.5.
If they don't go to 9, your pick is even more golden.

Great observation. I use Pinny sometimes to verify my selection.

Reds take it extra frames to give us the loss. The dose of reality is applied after winning ten in a row.

Appreciate the open mocking gentleman, especially after 35% on the rays victory today. At the end of the day I am making money, my people are making money and I hope you guys are too. It was nice meeting you guys as well and best of luck for the rest of MLB.

Thanks for dropping in Solobass. I appreciated opposing points of view in the capping arena. As I stated to you in person and as stated in this thread, it works for some, not me.
