Saint Andrew MLB Season Thread

[Wilforth]

Thanks, Lock...maybe I should take more breaks. 14-8 since my 13-day layoff. Maybe the games are just getting more predictable as the season wears on.

If the break is too long, you'll get rusty!

Saint,
While the ML may be a safety measure, I find no reason not to go with the Cubs RL here. It's a daytime game and having been held to only 3 runs yesterday, expect the Cubs to outscore SF by at least 3 runs.

Thanks for the tip. I have never used the runline and never will. IMO my two-teamers have a better chance of hitting and almost always return more money. Good luck on your bet, you are usually right and probably will be on this one.

[Wilforth]

I understand your point and I admire your principles. It's what works better in the long run that matters. GL.

- Braves are 3-7 in their last 10
- Braves are hitting .197 vs righties in their last 10 games.

You were immeasurably right on the Cubs ML.
I'm tailing your Sox/Padres parlay without hesitation.
Keep up with your good work.

LOL, Manny hits the first one....who will hit the second?

[St. Andrew]

It was Youkilis!!

[St. Andrew]

Cubs/BOSOX were the easiest parlay yet this year!

When the Padres cash tonight, that will be two parlays cashed in the same day. Even with the Toronto disaster, this is going to be a great day.

[St. Andrew]

Uh-oh. Padres couldn't hit Morton. That's unreal. Need a miracle now....

[St. Andrew]

Tomorrow I will realize that I actually bet the Padres to win a game. Lesson learned the hard way.

Yeah they are so craptastic. I gave up on them in May.

LOL, never again!

A 3-teamer for me today, Lock. It's going to hit. This isn't a reach or impatient play.

.....nice way to head into the All-Star break

[diogee]

Nice job pulling out the All-in with the Mets Saint.

Nice job pulling out the All-in with the Mets Saint.

It was a dumb bet, I got lucky, the Mets showed up and got my ass off the hook. I'll never do it again.

[diogee]

Either way it was a no sweat winner...a little added excitement for you away from the daily grind.

[St. Andrew]

All-Star Game

NL +130

$126.00 to win 164.00

[AmazingAmanda]

I'm with you Andrew!

[St. Andrew]

I'm with you Andrew!

I just don't get why anyone would choose to take juice in an All-Star game. The AL streak means absolutely NOTHING. Basically we're getting plus money on a coin-flip game. Good luck, Amanda

[ryanXL977]

amen
good plan
why lay on a random game

go nl

[St. Andrew]

Heads-up: my favorite team is the KC Royals....A futures lock: the Royals will top 72 wins this year. I have already nailed that for the max $600.

I had almost forgotten about this bet, but I saw it when I was cleaning out my email box today. I remember that this was my second bet of the season and it was with Bodog back when I had money with them. (never again)

I have enjoyed my break from betting and do not miss it, but
it has been weird reading the college football previews and not thinking about who I will be betting in the first week.

[DarkLord_Rathi]

ST are you coming back to us??? We missed you..

[TheLock]

Yeah I'm loving my 69.5 Marlins future wager as well Saint.



This place needs more Saint.

What was the price on that

[TheLock]

-110

[Dashwood Clipper]

Looking like a steal for sure

[Wilforth]

Saint,

Is one permitted to say "Welcome back"?

[St. Andrew]

Re-loaded and committed to investment.

Tuesday

CC Sabathia -120

-Brewers are 12-1 in CC's last 13 starts. Based on this year's history, Dempster won't go past the 7th inning, but CC probably will. I don't trust Cubs BP.
-Brewers lead series at Wrigley this year 4-2.

$530 to win $441
