Reverend's 2010 MLB

**dume walker** · 04-21-10, 11:15 AM

If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been capping baseball? And I believe you said this is your first year using a chase system. What made you decide to use that system instead of straight up sides or totals?

Glad to be on board. And kudos for running such a clean, positive and informative thread.

**BigRedMachine** · 04-21-10, 11:25 AM

Seems like the fav play could always be against Baltimore Orioles.

**Cosmo213** · 04-21-10, 12:12 PM

That's because they're the worst team in baseball at the moment. Even worse than the Asstros!

**gushman** · 04-21-10, 12:21 PM

Given that my ML on Seattle is -200, do you think it would be more advisable to bet them on the -1RL like we have done recently?

G said it best. alot of what i do is just pure capping. i have a system in place that filters out games, but in the end, it is me evaluating games and match-ups

Thank you both G and Rev. I follow you religiously, but I'm a curious person and want to understand too

tampa is my team but not for sure i can go " b " with davis -v- buehrle. my thinking is the under 8 may be the way to go in this one. also r/h/e/under 27.

**DMB40** · 04-21-10, 01:37 PM

Fla has Johnson going #1-#4 Do you like this match up a lot REV?

**jolmscheid** · 04-21-10, 03:45 PM

Let's get 'em Rev...I think I am gonna lay off the Rays for the rest of this series...just not comfortable as they are on the road playing CWS at home...Come on Mariners and Marlins!!

I am personally going -1rl on A bets with that high of juice. If it is a push then so be it and I will end the series.

Looks like Rev is playing it ML tonight though

Hey Rev
Been reading your thoughts from the start and just wanted to say thanks for such an informative and educational thread. Seems like a good bunch of people contributing as well. My first season to follow baseball so thanks for all the help

That's risked 80 to win 148.

**mizzoujohn** · 04-21-10, 09:42 PM

Marlins are getting a little hairy tomorrow. 8 units on anabel sanchez??? oh no.

Can't wait for the Thursday bets Rev!

**khaden** · 04-22-10, 05:33 AM

Rev-

1. Are you following through with the C bet today on the Marlins?
2. How many new series will we be starting and playing this weekend?

I'm trying to get a feel for the next few days. Unfortunately, I lost a C bet on Monday with the Red Sox (for the record this was not a series Rev recommended) Even though I lost on that C bet I still turned a nice profit from the previous week. And even with losing B bet last night I am back to being even for the week( I increased my betting amount on the A bets to make up for the c bet loss) Since Im even right now for the week I am not sure if I should go through with the C bet or just start fresh with the new series for the weekend.

**Daniel** · 04-22-10, 06:34 AM

I'm also wondering about a potential C-bet. My non-expert opinion makes the Marlins-bet a bit risky and not worth the number of units required. But then again, I'm not even up to amateur-status

.

**BillAccpetor** · 04-22-10, 07:44 AM

Marlins will be interesting...

It is your money so you need to do what you are comfortable with. I have a feeling Rev will tell you the same thing. I believe he has basically said that a few times in this thread.

I understand that, however Rev is running the sytem and capped this series. I respect his his work and am merely seeking his opinion on this play. I will take his opinion into consideration before I decide if I will play it.

**Stealinhome** · 04-22-10, 09:43 AM

The Fish have blown 2 in a row...

**doublej95** · 04-22-10, 09:49 AM

Yes they have, we should not even have to be thinking about the C bet today. Houston had four 4 game win streaks last year and never won the 5th game so maybe that trend will continue today

**thebestthereis** · 04-22-10, 09:55 AM

if you play series chases you are going to see game 3 wagers and game 3 losses at some point. stick with it and you will win units if you do so. good luck!
