OK.

I like those kinds of explanations.

Theres no point in writing up fancy ass little essays about why someone should take a game your advertising. The only point to write things up is that when the game wins you can go back to the post and be like see I was right. If you lose people don't care and your little essay means shit.

Do you really think this? I think someone with sound reasoning is someone whose opinion we should consider infinitely more than someone who gives no reasoning at all, since as we all know, these are all value picks, and not "locks". If it wins, it doesn't necessarily mean it was a "good" pick, and if it loses, it doesn't necessarily mean it was a "bad" pick, but if the person explains where the value is, it's worth reading and noting. Not to mention, writeups are very valuable because they can point out things the reader might have overlooked, or indicate things the writer might have overlooked.

But having said that, I agree with your Stl pick, I think it's pretty solidly the right side, I'm on it myself. GL everyone.

Looks like the term easy only applies to Braden Looper. Nice 1st inning f-er.

I'm not even going to explain myself here. All you need to know is take Lopper and the Cards -124 tonight against Armas and the Pirates. This should be the easiest winner on the board by far.

Anytime I see a post with "sure winner" or something along those lines I think - FADE IT!

Going against "easy winners" is "Easy Money", thanks for the heads up, as my Pitt wager is looking good.

This game is not looking good, its looking GREAT!
This is a lock for Pitt.

I CAN explain why:
Pitt 7
STL 0
after 4 innings.

Funniest pick of the day.. You call this ASS Whippin. I'm glad I laid off this one.

I agree with trifectabx. This shxt is funny. There is no such thing as a "lock" or "guarantee". At least give the pitching stats or some kind of stats instead of saying "no reason to explain." Baseball is a crazy sport to bet on but if you know your shxt, in the end theres a better chance you'll come out ahead.

Well its one game and I was for sure on the wrong side. Either way I would of took this side any day of the week and there was nothing that pointed in the favor of Pitt. Its only one game and everyone has had the games that they completely miss while explaining it as a "lock pick" or a "easy winner" Anyways I'll be more careful in the future to throw around titles with the games I advertise on here. My bad for anyone that felt secure with this game or if my post was the pushing point for them to take this game.

Disagree. Very little to no line movement despite the majority of bets coming in on Cardinals. Years ago I would have put down on Cards too. I factor in line movement (or lack there of) now. Just my 2 cents.
