I'd play these totals if I still played totals

WiseGrumpy · 07-01-10, 11:04 AM

Both games go OVER.

Not a fan of the Jays over. TOR is short-handed and Marcum's liable to throw a gem today.

Hit the early game, but the Yanks aren't looking so hot.

I really, really like the TB/MIN under 8 for later. Wish I'd gotten it at 8.5 earlier.

Thought you're not playing totals anymore. Degenerate.

I haven't played a total in over a month, shari, but I'm seriously considering this Twins-Rays game.

So in other words, expect a 13-11 final.

Kidding NC, cashed the under as well

Who am I to judge? I just played the Jays game after swearing off baseball for two weeks and I have 3 other games pending.

Best of luck!

I know a lot about baseball.

This sport is stupid to bet on. Period. I'm up a little over the course of the season, but I've had more dumb-luck wins and bad-beat losses than the NFL and NBA combined. Just so many games, and so many chances for teams to be no shows for no good reason.

Oh I know you know a lot about the game but I have to agree it's the most ridiculous crap to bet on ever. I can't think of anything that compares to the ridiculousness of this sport.

no coin and diesel are the forum drunks

You can make a case for NBA where a 20 point lead is gone in less than a quarter

Knew you couldn't resist throwing your two cents in on this.

So shari says it and it's OK, but I say it and it's because I'm the "forum drunk."

Wonder if LB would agree with you on the NBA vs. MLB, shoe? Or maybe we should take a look at your record -- which sport are you better at capping?

MLB, you dont beat this thing overnight buddy, takes time and patience. The 1h of the NBA season I was up a whopping 13.5 units and then I went on a 2h heater throughout the 2h and playoffs. I am just more patient than most I dont have a need it now mentality. I have lost over 15 1 run ballgames, turn those into wins and im up 100 units. The tide will turn ill have a nive little profit by seasons end.

Never said you wouldn't. But NBA and NFL is easier to cap than MLB. Period. Again, with so many games in such a relatively short period of time, players tend to take it easy at times and choose their spots, because like you said yourself, the season is a grind and they need to pace themselves. That makes it much more unpredictable.

Look at yesterday for example. Cardinals get beat at home by a minor league pitcher. Yanks get shut out at home by an inferior team. Giants get swept at home by the short-handed Dodgers. Brewers get shut down by Wandy Rodriguez -- one of the worst road pitchers in baseball. Jeff Francis, who has dominated in SD for quite some time, gets absolutely lit up. Angels, at home, strand nine in the first six innings against a guy making his big league debut.

There's a more unpredictable element to baseball than football or basketball as far as I'm concerned. If they played less games and each individual game meant more, then maybe it'd be different.

2daBank · 07-01-10, 02:15 PM

why do you keep saying that stl and nyy were so unpredictable yesterday? i thought they were pretty clear bet the dog or pass plays, you keep saying how inferior sea is but they had Felix going against Vazquez not like it was surprising hell you even said you liked sea, as for stl cant say it any more they were easy to predict....not saying baseball is easy (fuk i dont really like it) but those are two very bad examples .....

I disagree the NFL lines are blade sharp and for most games so are the NBA. How many times have you gotten backdoored in betting NBA? How many times has the hook killed you in the NFL? With MLB all you need to do is pick the winner, no spread involved. Look at TA, you dont put up numbers like that without proper date to digest. MLB is a lot less situational and more statistical that might be why you tend to struggle a bit with it.

Ill have an NFL thread going this year for you to fade no coin

I did lean Seattle, but the end result was still surprising. Vaz pitched pretty well, but Felix throwing a two-hit shutout with 11 K's?

As for StL, I don't know what to say about that streak of not being able to complete a three-game sweep. I still say it's inexcusable to lose that game with Soup pitching as well as he did. Had he given up 4-5 runs and they'd lost 7-5, that would have been one thing.

For the Yanks and Cardinals to score a combined two runs at home yesterday only enhances my point. And even if you strike those two from the record, there are plenty of other bizarre examples from yesterday alone.

I couldn't disagree more. It is very situational and very statistical, depending on the game and/or teams involved.

And for the record, as I told shari, I'm up a little on the year in baseball. Not much, but in the black. Doesn't change my opinion that it's the toughest sport to cap.

Sure I had bad beats in NBA and NFL -- but there are more fluke results in MLB. Partly because there are more games to bet on, but mostly because again each individual game doesn't mean quite as much to the teams.

"All you have to do is pick the winner." LOL! So if it's that easy, why aren't we all up more in MLB than any other season? Come on, shoe.

I hate to say this, but you just made my point for me.

It really is that simple in theory. Pick a winner. So why aren't we all up big? Why aren't you up big? You said you'll have a "nice little profit" by season's end -- if it's so easy, why wouldn't you be expecting a lot more? Because even though we're only picking winners vs. point spreads, it's a lot more difficult than it sounds.

Thats why you have to do your homework, my goal at seasons end is 300 units. I have a long way to go but if you just pick the winner and have MM skills you should do well

I don't know if you keep referring to me here or just "you" in general. It's comments like this and the earlier "that might be why you tend to struggle a bit with it" -- could you be more condescending? How do you know how well I do or don't do? It's like the NBA thread earlier in the season when you kept patting my on the head and telling me the same thing over and over again about being wrong on a specific play, and in the end, I got the play right.

You are an outstanding capper, shoe. No question about it. But your arrogance toward me and my posts is really getting to be fvcking annoying. Dexter pointed it out to me a long time ago, and I didn't say boo about it for a long time. I even defended you to him. But I'm done.

Its no easy street no coin and I still dont understand why you think im being condescending. Im not in no way at all doing that and if you think i am I apologize. Seriously though not being a prick at all I have made plenty of mistakes and I have been guilty of not doing my homework either. Your getting riled up for no reason, calm down im the first one to hate on myself. And dexter pming you that im an ass, interesting..... ill keep that in mind

I'm not getting riled up -- it's all good.

Not sure why you had to throw me in with DIESEL, though as a "board drunk" -- how did you expect me to react to that?

No. ITs because the NFL and NBA are the 2 sports (out of the major ones) that are the hardest to beat. NFL and NBA lines are razor sharp buddy. They dont like offering bases cause it is easier to beat. I know you can say i am losing at bases but you can ask any long term gambler and they will tell you bases is easier to beat.
