    Rays likely a good play...Verylander been holding his own...but just don't see Tigers winning a game this series...more on line for TB...at least they play like there is.

    I want the Tigers to win for baseball reasons(Phillies fan so if tigers win, they're less likely to trade price so better return for Hamels)
    But at the same time the numbers strongly suggest Tampa has about -185ish odds so gotta take advantage of the 20 cent difference

    Cant argue with your record!! As far as beating the closing line I am confused, yes there are times if you get a play in early it can benefit....when it comes to bases and all of the inconsistencies the key is to pick the winner regardless of various line movement.

    One mans opinion!!

    I enjoy your thread!!

    .

    It doesnt help in determining W/Ls
    That part is true, but if I win a dog, I'm usually winning slightly more than what the line closed at. If Giants lose tonight, Im losing 1.6 units, whereas the last minute bettor is losing close to 2 units. 15% of my lines I bet on are worse than what they close at, but 85% I am getting a better line than what it closes at. Not only am I winning, I am winning more than the average bettor because of my philosophy.

    To each their own.

    Calculations had the line closing at the +100-105 range.


    22-12 +8.37 units

    Couldve taken the Angels u7.5 at -115, but opted to take the gamble and get u7 at +100. Still happy with where I'm currently at

    Got cooked the past 2 days. All lines combined were 50 cents better than closing so saved a few hundred bucks on my losses as compared to last minute bettor

    Jays -130
    Padres -175
    Cards -135
    Tigers -105

    With the lack of offense, it was looking great going into the 7th, but what can you do?
