Nice hit on the Sox, too, as long as they can keep this 10-run lead. The thing that gets me about the Sox is they can come out swinging and take a 14-4 lead on the Angels, they can sweep in Toronto, and then they get swept by the Orioles. I'm not playing any series they're in until they can show me some consistency.

Thanks but that is what using the system is all about...no emotion involved... I am sure most were thinking just like you about the Red Sox...that is where the system comes in...

**Freddo** · 05-03-10, 09:28 PM

Can you believe the Red Sox's!!!!! All weekend We are begging for just one!!! lousy run and tonite they score 17 with 2 more innings to go. Go figure.

**daneault23** · 05-03-10, 09:31 PM

Good start for the week... Lookin ahead for tomorrow I see 4 "potential" series...

Cubs vs. Pirates
Giants vs. Marlins
Rays vs. Mariners
Brewers vs. Dodgers

These are about the only plays I see possible for tomorrow. Realistically speaking, all of these plays could be filtered out because the Dodgers and Cubs aren't great teams, and the Giants don't score thaaaatt much but do have great starting pitching, and the Rays vs Mariners pitching matchups seem to be pretty close. So there might not be any plays at all. Tough call.

Rev and G
Nice start for the week. Lets keep it up. Thanks for all the work you both do. I have been following both threads for the past couple weeks. Looking forward for a prosperous season

Thanks and I am sure the rev appreciates those that stuck around...the systems can win but everyone has to manage their money...

**doublej95** · 05-03-10, 10:20 PM

I think a lot of the people that got soured over the C Bet losses was probably increasing their unit size to fast on each new series. As G has stated many time's over and over to expect a loss and be prepared for one. I have increased my bankroll in two different books by close to 50% each and I am still starting my A Bets at 2% of my bankroll from the orginial amount when I started the systems. Increasing your units to soon can wipe out all profits with a C Bet loss.

Cashed in first game, Yanks will win at least one of the next two also.

**Betting Guru** · 05-03-10, 11:18 PM

You're the man Rev! Can't wait to see what u have for Tuesday!

**arizona40** · 05-03-10, 11:33 PM

**mlb** · 05-04-10, 12:16 AM

Good work. Money mgmgt is what keeps great posters around and most of us are striving to get there.

**lovetobet** · 05-04-10, 12:21 AM

Nice job Rev, way to turn it around. I won my alternative FAV bet with the White Sox also, life is good and it was a good night. Lets keep it rolling.

**serc** · 05-04-10, 12:24 AM

good pick Rev! You will be up at the end of the season, do not give up!

**dyeguy** · 05-04-10, 02:23 AM

I don't want this to sound like a Hallmark card moment but just wanted to let Rev know that we really appreciate everything you are doing. In addtion to being a good capper, I'm impressed by your ability to stay humble and make adjustments as needed. Probably the most impressive thing is how you have been able to keep everything positive. It's rare when someone can handle other people expressing their opinions (especially when some of them come across as know it alls) and not get offended. Great job!

**robert_wrath** · 05-04-10, 06:03 AM

Marquee call on C.C. last night.

**Pavv4** · 05-04-10, 07:09 AM

So we have to play the Yanks Rl againg today!

**canepole** · 05-04-10, 08:17 AM

thanks rev

I'm almost considering taking the Yankees on another two-game chase. With Burnett and Pettitte pitching today and tomorrow, I feel like the two-game chase might be worth it. Not sure, though, as there are one or two series starting today that are worth some consideration.

**NastyStuff** · 05-04-10, 08:54 AM

Thanks Rev...I am learning a lot.

TB/SEA tonight....anyone have any thoughts on that one?

^^^^^^ = Hallmark Moment.... Naaaa. JK. I agree. Excellent point and great job Rev!

**rgbraves** · 05-04-10, 09:14 AM

Lets get them today

**balls2wall** · 05-04-10, 09:57 AM

Looks like a nice day yesterday for everyone

**Jae iLL** · 05-04-10, 10:02 AM

I read through the thread, and think i'll be checking in more often. I'm liking the idea of the system.

Not that I think a game 3 will be needed, but BAL goes to MIN for their next game if you need to go to 3.

**swngus44** · 05-04-10, 10:47 AM

I second this! Sometimes people just have a way with words that are better than mine. I got a late start and I am still feeling things out. It was good that I thought there were too many picks for my bankroll when I started, stayed off the Boston series. And Tampa Bay also. I would have been afraid of that C bet. My frickin Reds sweep the Astros. Maybe I shouldn't bet against my team. lol. Anyway I'm having a blast. That's really all that matters and I agree, unless your going to pick your own games than manage your own money the right way. How could you blame anyone else. Your the one controlling the mouse.

**steelcity** · 05-04-10, 11:36 AM

Your the man Rev. I have been following your thread for a couple weeks now and I love your system. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your picks.

**SkivChef** · 05-04-10, 11:49 AM

What's up for today rev?

**balls2wall** · 05-04-10, 11:56 AM

looking forward to seeing what REV has for today

here is what I have so far...

NYY -1 (2 game, can fade BAL for the 3rd game if needed vs. MIN)

CUBS ML

SD ML (2 game chase) liked them pretty well in the 3 game chase, but now get reduced risk since they lost game 1

1/2 unit AZ/HOU UNDER 8 - will chase this one for a few games. AZ has gone over 8 in a row. Have done 4 of these so far which resulted in three game 1 winners and one game 3 winner. I don't think any O-U streak has gone to double digits so far this year. If so it hasn't been by much.

I have a couple more that I am thinking about for maybe a half unit.

BOL to all

I might go with a small chase on the Cardinals. You've got Wainwright and Penny against Hamels and Kendrick. Even at that, the Cardinals, who are playing the best baseball in the NL right now, have gone to almost even money at Pinnacle and -110 at the Greek and Bookmaker. That's a great price for a guy like Wainwright if you ask me.

I like that too. My biggest hurdle with that is that I have been riding the hell out of STL. I have been on them every game since last Tuesday. I just feel like I may be pushing my luck a bit if I went with this one.

With that said, I may be on them again.

**diegoelmestre** · 05-04-10, 12:15 PM

nice call yesterday on Yankees

**BillAccpetor** · 05-04-10, 12:19 PM

Cardinals Play good ball and are worth to play runlines!

**SkivChef** · 05-04-10, 01:40 PM

am i missin something? rev said he would have plays posted soon @12:15am?

**denn333** · 05-04-10, 01:41 PM

**reverend** · 05-04-10, 01:43 PM

Hey guys...thanks for all the positive words. Plays coming up next, with some thoughts...
