Haven't looked into that 1 too much yet, but I'm leaning towards them about 70% for now. Something about players that drink turtle blood makes me wanna bet on them

You must be pretty confident to bet them ML. I took the PK. Then again, I don't know much about soccer but I gotta bet my home team.

ODDSMAKERS HANDLING DELICATE DANCE
WITH ONE WEEK LEFT IN IL PLAY
It's important to remember that an oddsmaker's job is to protect his employers from potentially dangerous one-sided action. So, as you evaluate the performance of the betting lines thus far through Interleague Play, keep in mind that the numbers you see on the board every day aren't necessarily'predictions,' but are designed to:
*Avoid one-sided action
*Make the public take the worst of it when they bet
*Keep sharps from making big scores in the event of a bad number
It's possible for the results from a period of time to be wildly in conflict with the Nevada betting odds, but for oddsmakers to be pleased with their performances. It's possible for results to be relatively close to the odds but for sportsbooks to take a loss (say if a basketball or football favorite barely covers and the public was heavy on the favorite...or games are landing close to the number during a period of high pro football teaser activity...and everyone's teasers are cashing).
To this point, here's what we're dealing with in IL play:
*The American League teams have been showing a profit overall (again), but not in a way that's hurting the sportsbooks.
*Public action in baseball is such a small piece of the 12-month pie for sportsbooks that it's not very much on the radar right now except in the occasional TV game, or right when Steven Strasburg starting wowing everyone.
*Sharps have been doing okay in IL games, but are far from'crushing the books' in terms of beating opening numbers.
With a week to go, no harm no foul for everyone involved.
Sure, you could find individuals who had great runs or very poor streaks. In sum, everything's coming out in the wash about the way it's supposed to for the most part.
Do I anticipate any changes in this final week?
*I don't see square action increasing. This past weekend was when we had all the marquee series. These next few days won't be nearly as exciting. There will be some hype next weekend for Yankees-Dodgers in LA and the last round of Cubs/White Sox in the battle of Chicago. The most exciting betting weekend is in the rear view mirror in terms of your average square.
*The American League looks like it picked up its intensity a little bit last weekend, meaning oddsmakers have to be on the lookout for a strong AL finish. Sharps sure are. If the AL is going to close strong, oddsmakers need to charge a penalty for backing that league. Right now that looks to be the biggest danger for sportsbooks. Can they dodge any bullets that are about to be fired?
We're basically at a point on the calendar where it's oddsmakers vs. sharps. The NBA Finals are over. Football doesn't start until August. The down economy took a big hit out of baseball betting last year, and we haven't seen a full recovery yet. Squares will pick their spots for big TV events (weekend TV games or whenever Strasburg faces a top-notch opponent). Sharps will still be looking for value every day, in every game on the board.
When I put my handicapping hat on, these are the games I'm most interested in this week:
Monday-Thursday:
Detroit at NY Mets
St. Louis at Toronto
Atlanta at Chicago White Sox
Boston at Colorado
LA Dodgers at LA Angels
You have several winning teams on that list. The White Sox are losers for the year, but have been performing very well in IL play. They'll provide a good test for the NL East leading Braves. Boston/Colorado has a lot of potential...with the Red Sox being red hot over the last month but Colorado having such a dominant record at home in IL action.
Friday-Sunday:
NY Yankees at LA Dodgers
Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox
Boston at San Francisco
Detroit at Atlanta
Minnesota at NY Mets
Yankees/Dodgers has been special for DECADES! Cubs/White Sox always gets a lot of local interest because there are so many transplanted Chicagoans here in the legal betting capital of the world (especially in the media!). A few more good series matching playoff contenders.

Read somewhere that the baseball gets bigger due to the heat and humidity in the summer...easier for the hitters to see...

Lakers714 · 06-22-10, 09:51 AM

Do u have the numbers for runs scored during the summer months compared to non summer months from previous years?

mornin guys...lookin at the baseball card now...likin what i see...

Dabeergod · 06-22-10, 10:33 AM

Morning MT... the card definitely looks good today

SEAHAWKHARRY · 06-22-10, 10:37 AM

Ok now for the Nigeria South Korea match Nigeria pk +125 looks good to me... A PK is better than a ML right because a team must win for the bet to be won.. i mean if i pick Nigeria ml +200 nigeria would have to win by 1 goal... with a PK bet a draw would push correct?

So Whats everyone's opinion on Nigeria can they beat S. korea

As for baseball

A ton of games today i have:
Texas -1.5 (-125)
toronto(-104)

Im leaning Det and Tampa bay as well any thoughts

How do you get to choose the PK option? Do you go to adjusted lines or elsewhere?

SEAHAWKHARRY · 06-22-10, 10:45 AM

Good Morning HAZ....MT.....SHARI.....Paco.....iINVEST OR..... and everyone else on this family thread.. Good luck today MT your a's killed me last night.. oh well they won me some hard cash in vegas last week on a 3 team parlay so I still think they will win the division.. Seattle is shopping cliff lee looks like Mets or the twins will get him..and early... What your team needs is OFFENCE a big clutch hitter your team gonna put their chips in the trade pool before deadline... Paco I thought for sure Oswalt would be a Tiger by now looks like he may stay with the stros...

SEAHAWKHARRY · 06-22-10, 10:50 AM

Hey guys Doesnt bodog offer (PK) bets on world cup matches?????

MidgetTossers · 06-22-10, 10:53 AM

i think the rangers rl is a nice play..ride the hot team against a crappy team and crappy pitcher...should be an easy one there...same goes for philly too...thoughts?

Dabeergod · 06-22-10, 10:55 AM

glad I took the under 3.5 at half time of that France game to break even

the a's are done seahawk...same old story...injuries and lack of hitting...that injury to anderson really hurt them...i think if he was healthy they would have went for a bat at the deadline...i think we will see one or both of there stud prospects in the minors(chris carter and michael taylor) instead of a trade...at least thats what i hope they do

SEAHAWKHARRY · 06-22-10, 10:57 AM

Mt i love moyer that guy is like 50 yrs old cant throw past 84 mph but wins and he usually gets the run support.. What is his ATS #'s so far this year?
