First of all you are welcomed to ask anything you want.
About the question, it's hard for me to give you a 100% accurate answer.
I'm also a poker player and before, I had two separate bankroll's for each, but I didn't see a reason for that, so I can't give you a true %. Each unit is 100$.

They are BIG LOCKS I hope for a perfect night just like yesterday (winning 90 units).
BOL to us both!

Since the juice is high on both games, would it be smart to parlay both at -1?

Indeed, I think these are amazing bets.
The pitching match-ups, momentum of teams and offense is 100% on our side here.

Truly a weird day. Phillies just didn't play ball, the Yankees once again blow a huge lead ...
Anyway:
Down 20 Units.
Not terrible considering the facts ...
With the NBA up 10 units total for the day.
Tomorrow a new day.

Dude, I respect you as I do everyone and God knows I love the fine women you put up here, but looking over your picks, it doesn't seem you add any juice to your losses. U almost always take the high dollar favorite. Look at yesterday. Phil, StL @ 20 units each is over 100 units in the loss column. Even if you bet the run line -1-, both games were losers. Are you somehow getting all run lines at no juice and -1? If so, please tell me how so I can get in on that action. Again, no offense, just think ur #s are misleading. The chicks are awesome.

First of all it's 100% valid and you can ask and say whatever you want. Anyway I bet in Europe, a lot different than in the States. So everything I write is 100% accurate.

I'm going to start something new. With my picks, each day I'll try to give my winners for ALL the games. I'm not betting on that, I just want to see how it goes. My bets will be posted as usual.
- Garcia (4-2, 1.42 ERA) hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his seven starts.

Important:
After some confusion with my units, I have decided the best thing to do is post my plays each day without the units I am betting. Those that follow me know it's usually between 10-30 Units (100$=1Unit). Anyway the best way to know what I think about each bet is "BIG LOCK" for STRONG plays and "LOCKED" for good plays.
And thank you for all of those that follow me I'm happy to give you guys winning plays and PERFECRT girls.

Please continue posting your units alongside the plays, i'm not sure what the confusion is other than Europeans bet in Units and Americans bet to win a Unit. Is that the problem?

People are not sure how I get to the units I get in my results. Anyway to make it simple, I will post my unitsin my plays, just won't post them with my results in my signature.

INSANE!!!
Pretty insane month, too many ups and downs I'm def not someone that is used to going through those trends ...
Three of the best teams in the world, all going down (I hope to see the Cards coming back, but I rather go have some fun than keep watching baseball tonight).
I will focus from now, on MAX two BIG plays a day until the league goes back on track after this month of the UNDERDOG.

Ok, no more BS, after starting with a near perfect record on this forum, the "month of the underdog" made is a near 50% record.
TODAY the good run starts ...!!!
Stay tuned ...

Before I post my two bets for today, I will keep going with giving my plays for ALL games. Yesterday it worked preatty poorly, I hope tonight will be a lot different.
- Oswaltis 7-1 with a 1.78 ERA in 10 career starts against the Rockies, including 2-0 with a 0.78 ERA in his last three.
That fact alone is enough for a bet on my team even though they are playing against the pitcher with the best ERA in the majors. I predict a 2-0 win for the Astros.

I got 12 PM's asking to post as I always do right after I wrote I will post only 2 plays a day. I post here for the ppl that follow me, because if no one cared about what I post I would do what I have done for the last three years and keep it to myself (Not attacking at all just explaining ) .
Anyway, I have 4 plays today, all of them are very strong in my opinion.
If I had to choose two I would take the Cards and the Nats.

NY Yankees - 1 - LOCKED - 5 Units
Facts:
- Pettitte (5-0, 1.79 ERA) is 16-5 with a 3.88 ERA in 28 starts against TB.
- Shields is 1-7 with a 5.76 ERA in 10 career outings against New York.
Its hard to believe the Yankees will lose twice in a row even against such a strong team like TB. I just hope Pettitte can pitch for at least 8 innings.
