Seems to be a lot of square plays at cheap prices right now ... Think I'm going to stay away ...

Philly -131
Cards -123
Reds -175
Oakland -114
Texas -136
Detroit -117

What does everyone make of this?

mlb · 05-25-10, 04:44 PM

Boston -102 (2u)

mlb · 05-25-10, 04:45 PM

Pittsburgh +162 (1u)

I agree that all those seem square. The only one I like out of the bunch is Stl. I don't know how Garland has been doing it this season with all his walks. It will catch up to him some time. Probably only a small play for me. GL with Pitt tonight.

I'm sure quite a lot of people got lit up on these games.

mlb · 05-25-10, 11:51 PM

3-0 Tonight. +5.63 units.

mlb · 05-26-10, 10:07 AM

This is my only play so far, will have some more later most likely.

Twins -115 (1.5u)

mlb · 05-26-10, 10:07 AM

Game 2 that is.

mlb · 05-26-10, 11:21 AM

Texas/KC under 9.5 [-105] (.5u)

mandude · 05-26-10, 12:03 PM

GL on those plays. I was leaning the un in the KC game but those two pitchers scared me away. I just don't feel confident with Feldmans current form & Hochevars wonderful habit of suddenly giving up 8 runs in a inning. I'm liking Sea this afternoon. I think Vargas is solid & have to wonder if Det gives a shit off a late loss having an early start today. They may be looking to just hit the road to home after a long seven game road trip.

Thanks again, mlb.

It's hip to be square.

I got lucky on the Sea play. It all works out though. Been on the other side of those more than I would like.

ElmDiggity · 05-26-10, 11:04 PM

Any thoughts on phillies tomorrow with Hamels on the mound? Their offense just isn't getting it done. Maybe the under?

no they are not .. some light bulb would really have to turn on for me to take them .. or the cards right now for that matter ... I don't know what I was thinking going to both of them today ..

.. have been successful lately laying off the square plays and look what happens when I go back ...

HoulihansTX · 05-26-10, 11:50 PM

Astros, and Cubs in the morning.

Parlay, and play straight $$$$$$$$$

thanks man

mlb · 05-27-10, 08:42 AM

eventually this had to happen ...

Howard striking out with runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out and only down 2, Mauer grouding into double play with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out in a tie game and the Padres turning that double play in the 11th. So frustrating, they all had their chances to win!!

1-3 last night. -5.125 units.

mlb · 05-27-10, 08:44 AM

First play today.

Cubs -120 (1u)

We'll see how my early plays go before I make the late ones.

Good luck to all today! need to get back on track

justaguy · 05-27-10, 04:49 PM

I like the Phils and Rays tonight, again both pretty square plays, but i think the Phils pull one out. I could be wrong.

Phills -127 (1u)
Rays -1.5 [EVEN] (1u)
Florida +106 (1.5u)

mlb · 05-27-10, 05:56 PM

None of the others really stand out .. will be on later to update. good luck tonight!

mandude · 05-27-10, 06:32 PM

I'd wish you luck tonight but I would jinx myself that way. GL on the TB play. That way you can end up 2-2 on the day.

justaguy · 05-27-10, 11:28 PM

How long do you guys normally spend handicapping games? Also, do you try to take advantage of FiveDimes overnight nickel lines or do you try to wait until closer to gametime to place your selections? I'm just trying to take in information and learn about how winning sportsbettors conduct their business. Thanks.

mlb · 05-28-10, 12:06 PM

2-2 Last night. -.77 units. Not good, not bad. On to today.

yeah its not a problem dude ..

well I am unconventional I suppose .. sometimes it takes hours and sometimes plays jump out at me right away and then I go from there so see if I will play it .. so it def varies ... i have been very busy lately .. but often like to wait until close to game time ... only place a few the night before ..this doesn't really answer much yet, but anything else just ask around and people are usually nice enough to help you... good luck

mlb · 05-28-10, 07:48 PM

Only play for this evening ...

Angels -102 (1u)

good luck to all .. hope everyone is hitting
