    I hear ya, I was on the Brewers as well. Nice comeback, and then Turnbow gives it right back. Tough loss.

    I need SF to hold on for a winning day.

    I won with Florida, lost with Milwaukee, and am waiting for San Fran to seal it as well for a winning day.

    Nice call with the Fish. I was on the Pirates.

    Won with the Tribe and Cubbies.

    Hopefully the Giants will come through for us. A couple insurance runs would be nice right now.

    Good luck with SF S7.

    Thanks OWNED. I can't believe Yost had the audacity to send him to the mound tonight after last night's debacle. He better get a couple games of "rest" after tonight.

    Giants got that insurance run. A few more would be nice.

    Can't say I was upset but really Turnbow had no business being in there after last night's meltdown. Every time Turnbow comes in there I cringe.....

    imo you guys made a poor pick with SF. They just won by 14 runs last game vs the rockies... the bookies want you to choose the giants after that!

    I didn't choose them because of how many runs they scored in their last game.

    I chose them because they had the better pitching matchup and I think they have a better offense as well. Not to mention, they were +111 for me.

    This coming from a guy who claims he's 8-0 this week when he doesn't even post his plays. Hilarious.

    You do realize that less than 1% of all people who place wagers online do not go on gaming forums. If you are going 8-0 people would be interested to hear about your picks and rationale.

    Anyway...what kind of logic is this other than supertion that if i post a play I will lose. Guess what....the outcome of the game has absolutely no bearing on whether you posted it on an obscure gaming forum or not.

    This is so not true........betting against the public is largely a myth in sports betting. Its mantra is simple and intuitively appealing and that's why people cling on to it thinking that it is going to work...all I have to do is figure out who the public is on and bet against them. The reality is picking winners requires serious consideration of all aspects of a game. Betting the public is largely a fantasy. You probably won't go broke or become rich...you'll just hit a little more than 50% and pay the juice. Think of it as admission to watch a game.

    Come on guys, let's congratulate, not hate.

    Pat, 8-0 this week?? Wow, that is really impressive. Great job. How do you do it? You don't have any tips or hints you might want to give us? Maybe kick us your pick at the last second tomorrow or something like that? 8-0 in one week, that is championship level handicapping if you can keep it up.

    because anyone who knows anything about beating the book knows you don't do it by paying -110

    If you pay -180 or +180 if you win the game... you are beating the books.

    biggest misconception in betting. You think if you are winning, just like you boast your 8-0 week that you are beating the book, but when you lay say, -105 instead of -110 and you literally save $20k in juice alone...well that is smart and powerful...but if you like playing at bodog and laying -110and you "feel" you are beating the book then by all means keep doing it...I just know that by fact anyone who is smart about bvetting goes the reduce juice route...

    Ummm...we're talking MLB here not pointspreads.

    BoDog is an above average book but has many limitations. I would say playing at BoDog is not a problem if you are a recreational bettor....but to do it at a more serioius level you'll probably have to branch out and consider other books in addition to BoDog. You definitely need BoDog in your aresenal but it should be one of many books that should be funded.

    I'm not hating on the guy at all - I wish him well with his picks. I just don't appreciate someone criticizing others for backing the Giants, particularly immediately after the fashion in which SF blew this game. What's the point in that? Pretty immature.

    And if you are truly 8-0 this week, there's certainly no need to openly brag about it, as you are doing with your current signature. The fact that you say you are 8-0 really means shit unless you are posting your plays on here. Have a little class.
