    If I could get prices that are 5 to 10c better than the real market I would bet every game. The problem here is, if you try to follow LT you can't bet on fantasy island, you have try to beat the real market. If LT ends up with a profit, which he should using prices nobody could get, any following won't get the same results. If I were posting with the intention of helping guide people with some MLB decisions, I would post using a combination of Cris and Pinnacle lines, that would be a real indication of his results.

    I can confirm those heritage prices were accurate at 5am eastern time. If u had heritage and took his games at 5am the prices would match

    I am tracking MY results daily, so it is appropriate that I use prices I got. If anyone wants to follow, he/she could use his/her judgement or simply ask what my cut-off price (or model price) on a specific play is.

    Alternatively, they could just use your lines as the cut off and just shop for lines that are better than what you most. Less games, better return.

    Not it that I tail all that much in anything other than soccer where I have no clue about what I am do Big and there are a couple of sharp posters here on SBR.

    The thing there is it is often difficult to find better lines than the nickel overnights at 5 Dimes and 4-cent overnights at Heritage.

I do know there are many degenerates who play any price so I was trying to make the point that these numbers are not numbers anyone who wants to follow could bet at. I would love to bet the night before the games, but there is really not much of a market. Yes, if I wanted to bet 2k a game it would be great. If LT is betting small bets at the numbers he is posting, he should be break even or maybe profitable. We could all post our plays but who cares about individual tracking, the main point of a public MLB forum is to get good information to make better decisions. Posting numbers that are not available, then keeping track via a daily track record that posts on this forum is pointless (unless Im missing something, which very well could be the case). My point was, if you are are posting to share information that could be helpful, post at the real market, not a market that might have been there for one $500 bet at 6 am

    seeing those were the prices at heritage what are you talking about? i follow lt. I looked at his lines on heritage at 9 am and they were correct. Maybe you should switch to heritage for the reduced juice

    LT I cant seem to get the weekly mlb contest to update the standings.

    I cleared cookies and all temp files which I had to do in order to post picks back in the nfl. Is this common?

    My last update for the standings is like WED night.

    Anyone who says that beating the closer doesnt matter is absulutely clueless. You will still have downswings where you do not win over a few hundred picks but in the long run you will def win.

    Not if the meal gives you food poisoning either way.

    This was true 10 or even 5 years ago.

    It's useless now. Completely and utterly irrelevant.

    LT argues that you "lose less" when you beat the closing number. True. But you still lose if the play is a loser, which it is more often than not these days. RLM, steam and everything else is just book head fakes these days.

    I will say this, too - everything is especially irrelevant if you're trying to make 10-20 plays a day. It's suicide.

    If your "model" is that far off on that many games in the first week of the year, your model is off. Just like football. Just like basketball. Just like hockey.
