Betting on ST baseball is like betting on how many times I have to stop between here and Houston so the wife can use the powder room - if I don't see how much coffee she drank before we got in the car, it's hard to judge if it's going to be twice or 100 times

Eh, but what the hell. Hate to see Presley just playing with himself

Gimme' the Mets (+124) over the Cards, Phils (+129) over the Yankees and Royals (+117) over the Rangers.

lol thanks. This is my first time ever betting spring training...so I don't know...still afraid to lay anything big on exhibition games.

the Royals need to come around! I thought they'd be the play of the day! but it is still early. teams can easily score 6 runs in 2 innings.

dave11486 · 03-02-06, 06:13 PM

C'mon extra innings!

I believe the Royals bat boy popped up...so were hoping for a push.

sorry we couldn't bring some moolah in on this one. Royals should've won. more hits...but costly error hurt.

presley177 · 03-02-06, 06:50 PM

It's a push.

....only in spring training...lol

JayEgdarWho · 03-02-06, 06:53 PM

Came back from 5-zip, it looks like.

If you guys have that kind of mojo all year I'll be close behind you . . .

I have no doubt in my mind that I can pick 65+% in bases.

yep. I'll gladly take it..because they did come back from 5-0 to make it a push. go Royals minor leaguers! Benji Gil is my hero(he's like 36 years old but he saved our asses)

If it wasn't for an early error in the game the Royals would of won. They actually should have won in extra innings...guy on 3rd with 1 out. ...eck

dave11486 · 03-02-06, 07:00 PM

So what is it 11 innings and done in ST?

presley177 · 03-02-06, 07:01 PM

taking my .5 unit back from the Royals game and putting it on Korea -170

usually it's 10 innings. there's no set rule..it's at the discretion of both teams managers and the number of players they have available.

JayEgdarWho · 03-02-06, 07:19 PM

I think it's until Mom calls them in for dinner . . .

Is the WBC on TV?

presley177 · 03-02-06, 08:10 PM

yes. ESPN.

Presley I will have my eye on you!!!! 65% you are predicting. If that is true
I am buying a house!!!

dave11486 · 03-03-06, 01:52 AM

Yo pres nice call on the Koreans, i ended up taken that craziness because it seemed so good

maritime · 03-03-06, 02:02 AM

"Presley I will have my eye on you!!!! 65% you are predicting. If that is true

Just to clarify for me & img, what exactly does hitting 65% mean in this case (betting MLB). Baseball is essentially moneyline betting. What I mean for example is, if you bet on the Yankees every game, you'd win over 60% of the time (assuming at least a 100 win season for them) but you'd lose money because their moneylines are so high.

So a straight winning percentage means nothing in MLB, unlike betting pointspreads in other sports usually around -110.

I do hope you (and all of us) kick some tail this MLB season. I just wanted to point this out to img, since he says he is new to baseball betting.

imgv94 · 03-03-06, 02:05 AM

Your right maritime. I am new to baseball wagering. I am sure pres will
only include plays that are -150 and better. I am looking forward to
picking a piece of all your minds!

imgv94 · 03-03-06, 02:19 AM

I am going to follow the leaders bro. Whatever you are messing with
I am going to play. I can't wait to pound the Yankees opening day
so I can start up 5 units after day one.

imgv94 · 03-03-06, 02:23 AM

Yankees -135.

Thats my line.

imgv94 · 03-03-06, 02:25 AM

BBD? Are you going to be posting your plays everyday bud?

And how many 5+units plays will you have on avg during the week?

imgv94 · 03-03-06, 02:31 AM

I am a student still with betting bases BBD. Sorry for asking so many questions. I am just'
a very curious person.

Last year I picked out the dogs for the day's game usually. I'm not a big fan at all really on heavy favorites, hardly any value in it(unless I just know for sure it'll be a blowout) so usually the games I'll be playing will have a + in front of them. 65% of games if more 15% additional to how much i bet rather than the number of games I win. ...I kinda just threw that number out there. but yeah..when I'm on an underdog...I'm usually pretty confident with it.

imgv94 · 03-03-06, 03:45 AM

So your going to make me some money then right pres?

My favorite team is the Dodgers. They play like 3 mins
away from where I live. You Illusion and BBD seem
to have the same opinion.
