It's just uncanny.

You could give me a total of 2 on a game, I'd take the over, and it'd end up 1-0.

I knew the minute I submitted this that the total would ruin it -- even though I loved the play.

My second choice was going to be the DET/MIN under, which made zero sense given the history of these two pitchers against their opponents. I even had a thread on it last night.

It was pretty unfortunate, ump had a very small strike zone aka big over'r, i think it was tichenor.

pretty funny twins game went over, told you liriano would look sharp. just didn't expect scherzer would too

I'm sorry you missed your parlay NC

. I always see you having trouble with totals. I think if you tried picking a total for every game without looking at pitching or any stats at all you would be shocked with the results. For the season it is 48.79% over and 51.21% under. So hell, just picking all under blindly you are almost making money. I think with just a little practice watching team results for a while you will be able to get that to 60% easy with no capping. i.e. cards have been terrible offensively lately... houston usually can't score runs ever. Right away I think Under... now if we get some mediocre pitchers starting I know the total will shoot up. It did for three games. Under, Under, Under. even if I just won the series 2-1 I still make money 66%. You just have to win every series like in real baseball. Some sweep... some get swept... but most are split o/u. GL

Sucks man. All I had today was paco's 4 team parlay which hit, but with totals I only like Team total (overs mostly) which are much easier to cap imo and not so easily blown (ie a grand slam to blow your under etc). BOL on your future plays

No coin you need rehab for totals. I lost count a long time ago the amount of times you have said you would never play another total again. Tough loss man get em tomorrow
