    I am going to write a sports gambling book

    I will call it "your guess is as good as mine"

    who posted the average runs scored in bannister contreras games vs opposing teams was like an average of 12

    It was 9 and then it moved down to 8.5 , then I looked same time frame and saw sonnys under 8.5 clicked in like 10 minutes after it moved , he was going with the line movement . If I had to answer I would say Soprano wagered 10 k on the under 9 runs early yesterday ? and then his buddies did a lil of the same ............ so moved down half a run and looked like a wise $ play . Not to me it wasnt . But by watching the game it could have went under just as easily as it happened to go over .

    yeah well 9 is a normal o/u which is how it came out , it really is not a huge factor on past matchups for the o/u , it is like big time factors for that are in the here and now frame with the starters and the teams runs per game plus lefty righty , it could have been 9.5 if the only factor was how bad contreras had done vs kc and the factor of past matchups being over , but they concentrate on the present more . In all reality contreras or bannister could have no hit the other team so damn the under would always be worth a shot if that was any kind of decent % to happen , which of course any pitcher can do well , get lucky alot , d makes web gem after web gem in the field robbing the hitters , making the starter look saaaweett , the over/under is far more complex than picking a team to win . My best scenario for how easy it can be > you take the over and one is blowout>>>> winning team goes over the total by themselves . Also , the formula to get the over is simply both teams do their part offensively , hitting their averageruns per game and is a cakewalk for the over to cash . Off the top of my head ..... my fav scenario to make cash is fav and over , maybe thats why I am not a millionaire , no its becauseof the online casino bs . For me on the over under thing I am not there yet really , not evolved , even though I know everythign about it ........... is complex really . The over has cost me a many parlay in my day , throwing that bs on there ot make more $ / greedy .

    I know you dont go back that far , lol at that 1 . Now you are getting a sense of humor AC seriously it is the biggest trend today with team vs team playing at , is actually at 100 % is rock solid trend , going against the Mets would fall into playing the due theory , mets due to scratch this 7 - 0 100% super trend . I dont like the game .

    do any of you bet the second halves of games?? the 6th inning on total runs scored is usually 3 1/2 to 4 runs...I've done this 4 times this year and am 3-1...seems like pens give up more runs the last 2 months of the season so maybe worth a try...
