Grumpy MLB 2010 plays

[SolidDala]

May you have a GREAT day today Grumpy!!!!!!!

Have been working all day so haven't have time to check the games yet... I did check the first one.. not sure on the side, teams avoiding sweeps tend to have some xtra magic with them lol, but for some reason magic is less with 4 series then 3, Would lean at the over in this one.. no play though for me...

Thx for the kind words earlier

Interesting to see the 2-teamer strategy for NBA... I know spreads are really hard at least for me this first season I tried to cap it!

Beautiful pic as always.
Made a killing this season with two teamers in the NBA, mainly totals. It was always my strong sport and I can't wait for it to start again! We will do it together at the NBA forum.

[SolidDala]

Sounds good, totals were my favorite part for hoops...

[SolidDala]

Made a lot betting on Cavs Over 1H and Under 2H.. So will check up on this when superstars tend to sit the 4th quarter like LBJ did.. anyway that for then this is now - BASEBALL!!!

Book: 5Dimes
Units: 3.03
Units to win: 3
Play: 7/26/10 10:05pm MLB Baseball 970 Los Angeles Angels -101* vs Boston Red Sox (C Buchholz - R must Start J Pineiro - R must Start)

Hey WG, there was a pitching change with Haren now pitching... is the bet still good?

Oh and btw with all those parlays I can't buy points with totals and runlines... should I still bet them?

[SolidDala]

You will lose the edge for all games so imo you should just pass on the parlay mate...

[ZombieWolverine]

Lol ,pictures look good

[SolidDala]

Alright been looking, nothing that make the heart pound thats for sure.. 2 plays though: REDS +106 and SEA/CWS U6.5 +110 ..

had my eyes on MIN/KC O7.5 but 2 things that contradict each other made me pass - Greinke is only 1-9 against MIN but he have been pitching really well lately

The Twins are unreal lately, this offense can take them all the way!

[WiseGrumpy]

Need a miracle from the Angels for a positive day.
Nice how the RedSox killed a 4 teamer for 22 units and now they are about to kill a 4 teamer when I'm against them.

[sportscreep1]

Typical, teams can't get it together when you need em. Try again tomorrow, you'll get this thing rolling again.

[WiseGrumpy]

WOW just noticed there was a pitching change for the Angels which saved this day because the bet was cancelled.

Summary:
Plays: 1-2-2
Parlays: 2-1
Units: -4.79

Total:
Plays: 3-7-2
Parlays: 4-5
Units: -16.04

[jpot34]

Better days ahead Grump!

[WiseGrumpy]

Thnx guys.

[Gee]

Need a miracle from the Angels for a positive day.

what the? .. even if the parlay had hit, it was still a terrible day... i suppose if the angels had won ML, it would have only been a small losing day...

edit: lucky on the angels getting that 3 teamer...

[WiseGrumpy]

what the? .. even if the parlay had hit, it was still a terrible day... i suppose if the angels had won ML, it would have only been a small losing day...

If the Angels bet would have stand and they have won the day would have been positive ... but it's ok, considering the day went I will take this small lose and move to the next day.

[Gee]

i think that has to be wrong:

cinci - 5
cubs o/8 parlay -2
Toronto parlay +1 (approx, chisox push)
angels +3.03 (if they won) -3 (if they lost)
astros -3
twins +1.45
phillies -1.5
parlay (if angels won) +4.5 (-1 if they lost)

total = -1.52 IF the angels pulled it off. Not positive at all...

First of all I simply think people that write what you wrote are pathetic, people that look for shit like that. Anyway, my calculations were a little off, I just went into it, but yours were WAY off, so that makes it even more pathetic, to look for me to "make shit up" and end up being wrong.

I can't believe I'm doing it but I will even show you how:
Reds lost -5 units
OVER parlay -2 units
Jays parlay +0.8 units
Angels +3.03 units (if won)
Astros -3 units
Twins +1.45 units
Big parlay +4.5 (if angels win)
Phillies PUSH

Total: -.22 units
Minor lose indeed.


You guys truly have nothing better to do, it's embarrassing.
And even if you intentions weren't the way I put them, the fact you look for this kind of stuff pisses me off, because there is nothing positive in doing so.

this is the first thread i have found and read on this site.it took time, but i read each page to understand controversy.you're a nice guy grumpy and had nice runs.to be honest you have manipulated #'s and given fuel to fires.it is bold what you do to put yourself on the line,and scrutiny comes with the territory.i wish you the best of luck.at times you seem to be chasing that past glory and can't reduce yourself to 2 strong plays. i am on your side and have rooted for you throughout.but to keep things civil,if you post wagered units, post units w/l accurately as well.if you don't give them ammo,they can't fire. gl to you. i will continue to follow and wish you the best.

[WiseGrumpy]

For everyone that ever followed me ...

Must say it's getting pretty old that everyday I need to "defend" myself, and justify things I do. First of all in general, all people that post their plays risk their own money, so for anyone to say anything about any losing bet is WRONG in so many levels. It's like this person put his money on the line, published his bet, lost, and he is all smiles while those that tailed lost. Do you forget the person that published the play is the first to lose?!
With that I signed up to SBR almost 4 months ago. During this time I EARNED my respect, I EARNED the fact I get pm's EVERYDAY from people asking for advice and people following my thread. I started with no posts and no comments, have one of the best NBA records that were published THE best WC record posted, and had one of the best MLB records by far most of the 1st half of the season. All that goes to shit when I have 1 bad month?! It doesn't surprise me and I fully expect that because humans as a race have VERY short memory in all walks of life, until it comes to something that has to do with them personally then they remember all the good things that should make us forget the bad, and the other way around.

What I'm trying to say, that this is getting old, getting immature, and I'm starting to get sick of it. Everyday I see negative crap, I see people doubting my methods, my units, I mean god damn, I have a record of everything I do in my job (gambling) I posted everything to the world to see, and people still go check my shit and then end up being wrong. As I said before, I did this LONG before I signed up to SBR, I still get paid to do this on other sites overseas, and I do this here for FREE, and people have the balls to say negative things.

I don't need to announce "I will end up for the season" "the bad times are almost gone" I make a living from this, and I LOVE seeing other people benefit from that, that is the reason I post here. I know this post will draw more negative crap but at least I explain my thoughts. It amazes me how pathetic people are, and leave me out of it, but pac that had amazing 2 weeks, had 1 negative night and this moron capp something comes and bashes him. I give pac as an example because it shows you that even the nicest guy with the most amazing record, gets bashed by morons.
A lot of them work for the books and are trying to take the good ones out, but most of them are just lonely and sad people.

So I just want to make something clear, I don't give a rats ass what crap will be written here, I will forever live from gambling and as long as I can I will give my insights and plays to the general public, if you tail someone and lose, you are part of that lose 100%, once you place a bet, it's yours you can only come to yourself and complain. Same thing if you won, it's your win, not mine. And if you fade me, and then come and celebrate when I'm wrong, or vanish when I'm right, you are simply and sad RAT.

I wish all the good people the best of luck, and may the good days start today.

Yours,
WiseGrumpy.

[WiseGrumpy]

And a rule update since I can't edit the first post and so people will see it written down:

Some rules:

- MAX 10 unit per play (special plays can be up to 30 units).
- Every play must have a HOT girl.

* Also put back my old record from day 1 of this season with the current one because too many people wanted to know the "whole picture" and I respect that.

Hey Grumpy, I actually asked you what happens with a pitching change this game:

Hey WG, there was a pitching change with Haren now pitching... is the bet still good?

but nevermind I know you're pretty busy and probably annoyed by the shit coming your way.

I'm not very long in the forums aswell but noticed the bashing before... example besides pac is pimike... His thread was one of the biggest with great success, had a few losing days and bashing began... He stopped posting his plays and now sends them via mail/twitter etc and having HUGE runs there. So he's back to his old days.

Sometimes it takes more time but skill comes through in the end I guess. Hope you continue to post your plays. Always liked your style and class from the beginning of the first thread

I'm sorry mate, I came back late and didn't see that. All my plays are a must start by the announced pitchers.
Thnx for the kind words and I hope I won't give up and leave like a lot of great posters that even started selling their plays and are doing well. We are giving things for FREE and people still complain which is amazing to me.

i said to correct me if i was wrong. i saw you talking about a potential positive day and thought that there was no way the day could be positive even with a miracle finish. i quickly did the maths, which were a bit off (i did it quickly and thought philliies -1.5), but the gut feel was right. talk it up.

also, phillies and jays are absolute locks, rl and ml. sfg u/6.5. cain will be outstanding to match johnson.

Agreed, looking to have a nice parlay of Phillies, Jays, Texas and Yanks.

You wrote some constructive criticism and I even gave you a point. I don't look for people to say "you are the king" but there is a way to write things and I want the truth only, a lot of the things that people wrote of the past month were complete BS, that is why I'm so angry, or Grumpy.
