What you are claiming implies that they have more insight into how the game will unfold than in actuality they do. They may be trying to induce wagers on a side, but its not because they are Nostradamus, as evidenced by what happened to the Brewers the other day.

Are the oddsmakers perfect? No. But a line is what it is for a reason. If you think it's a simple process and that it's an even playing field with the public bettors, I can't help you.

Giants record is 45-40. If you don't accept that they are one of the better teams in the NL than God help you.

Don't dispute No-Co.

Dude is one of the most informative on MLB on this forum imo.

Do I get every pick right? Not even close.

But to pretend the oddsmakers are in the same boat as you and me when it comes to lines and why they are what they are is just plain ignorant.

Like I said this was one of my better plays I had in a long time and I got it at +105. Wish I would of created a thread so people could tail. Won 6 units off it, great start to my weekend.

It's impossible to get every pick right, you're still a very knowledgeable man for this sport, especially for a dude like me from the UK, who's only been into MLB for 3 years.

Damn 9-0 (i'm a bandwagon Red Sox fan, so i'm all good from this)

janssen warming up, an even worse pitcher than tallet

HoulihansTX · 07-09-10, 07:24 PM

This is an asswhipping to remember.

thebayareabeast · 07-09-10, 07:30 PM

It was a conpiracy everyone. The Blue Jays threw this game just like the Giants did the other day when Linecum pitched.

Oh wait what? The Giants won that game 15-2? I guess the oddsmakers adjusted the line on the wrong game, they must have gotten drunk the night before or something.

thebestthereis · 07-09-10, 07:31 PM

lester at -130 or less you cannot ignore it, i don't care about any other factors

Pauulzcappin · 07-09-10, 07:33 PM

Line got people to take Toronto, now they are down 13-0, oddsmakers are GENIUSES.

2daBank · 07-09-10, 07:36 PM

Medical Encyclopedia:Paranoia

Definition

Paranoia is an unfounded or exaggerated distrust of others, sometimes reaching delusional proportions. Paranoid individuals constantly suspect the motives of those around them, and believe that certain individuals, or people in general, are "out to get them."

Individuals with paranoid schizophrenia and persecutory delusional disorder experience what is known as persecutory delusions: an irrational, yet unshakable, belief that someone is plotting against them. Persecutory delusions in paranoid schizophrenia are bizarre, sometimes grandiose, and often accompanied by auditory hallucinations. Delusions experienced by individuals with delusional disorder are more plausible than those experienced by paranoid schizophrenics; not bizarre, though still unjustified. Individuals with delusional disorder may seem offbeat or quirky rather than mentally ill, and, as such, may never seek treatment.

How does this thread = "paranoia"?

You are hopeless.

"It was all a setup".

Whats wrong with you dude? The funniest thing about this is you think you are right because of the simple fact that Boston is thrashing Toronto.

Apparently you don't even know what the meaning of a "setup" is. How is Lester -120 at the Blue Jays a setup? Romero is very solid and Boston is decimated by injuries. There was no fukking setup dude. Comprende???

Yea yea yea "Vegas knew Boston was going to win so instead of setting it at -150 they made it -120 to try to lure us."

NO. YOU ARE WRONG. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

The No. 1 priority for oddsmakers is setting a line that will draw the most action. Period. By putting Toronto at +120 tonight at home, it drew more action than if the Jays were closer to even money.

Do you disagree with any of this?

You still don't understand what I am saying.

The line was -120 because of Bostons injuries and the fact that Romero was at home. The line was exactly where it should have been. Anything higher than -120 would have been way off because of the facts I have laid out.

You are basically saying that ordinarily this line should have been higher than -120. You are wrong.

If Boston had their full squad you would be right, but Boston did not have their full squad, hence the -120.

You continually dismiss the fact that Boston is injured and Romero typically owns at home.
