Good Luck!

I'm tracking 100 ST picks for fun... I can't get myself to put real money on a game where winning isn't the main objective.

DblDeuce · 03-02-11, 03:26 PM

Good luck today. I was just trying to see if these exhibition games are much more erratic/violatile as far as lines are concerned compared to the reg season.

Well started out 2-2 for a profit of .15 units. I'm also going to recap the line which I bet and the pinnacle closing line. I'm betting 5 cent lines on each side with a local, so i'm paying a little bit less juice than pinny but it will be close. Also the lines move very quickly on this site so its not like im betting stale lines.

Pirates -105 (-121)
Rangers -125 (-126)
Royals +120 (+110)
White Sox +108 (-108)

So it looks like between my 4 bets I gained 43 cents of line value, pretty good. I will continue to post here daily, and hopefuly get something profitable going.

worm3312000 · 03-03-11, 10:10 AM

Tigers +115. Tigers going with a very good lineup today as are braves this game looks like a coinflip to me.

worm3312000 · 03-03-11, 10:39 AM

Orioles -110. Twins traveling 140 miles to Fort Lauderdale and Kubel played yesterday, no way Thome makes this trip, this lineup is going to be UGLY I think. While Orioles have their opening day lineup pretty much with their best pitcher pitching. This line should be more like 125-130 imo.

im on the braves GL worm

worm3312000 · 03-03-11, 11:19 AM

Pirates +125....About as big of a dog as you can be in ST, and I have no idea why. Blue Jays starting Eric Thames David Cooper J Mcdonald Ryan Budde and J Diaz. Pirates brought along a lot of their decent players, I think Pirates should be about +110 here.

worm3312000 · 03-03-11, 11:38 AM

Astros +111. This line opened Astros -125 on Bookmaker. No idea why its +111 now. The Astros lineup is pretty bad. The list of pitchers pitching for the Astros today is pretty bad. But the Marlins are hitting Ozzie Martinez 2 Scott Cousins 3 and Joe Thurston 5. Not to mention their 6-9 hitters. This is a coinflip, and I'll take the +111.

mugsey15 · 03-03-11, 11:46 AM

Can't get myself to bet spring training but like your plays. Gl ready for opening day!!!!

Betting Guru · 03-03-11, 12:40 PM

Its just so tough to bet these games not knowing how long a starter is going to play, or if he is going to play at all.

worm3312000 · 03-03-11, 03:57 PM

Another 2-2 day for +.26 units. So far on the year 4-4 for +.41 units. We had:

Tigers +115 (+112)
Orioles -110 (-120)
Pirates +125 (+122)
Astros +111 (+122)

So we lost 11 cents of value on the Astros, that line was baffling to me, FLA and Astros both had subpar lineups and subpar pitchers. This was a coinflip game if there ever was one. Orioles was my favorite play. And was the only one that really steamed in my favor so the -110 line was off like I thought. They got 22 ab's from their top 8 hitters who are all everyday players come april. They just didnt get any hits, while the Twins had 3 regulars and 2 of those were light hitting middle infielders. Definitly was on the right side of this one even though it lost. I'll be back tommorrow.

mugsey15 · 03-04-11, 11:04 AM

I ended up using some sbr points yesterday to go 2-0 on Pittsburgh and Houston. Thanks

worm3312000 · 03-04-11, 02:11 PM

Only one play today Seattle +105. I put the play in a couple hours ago, it looks like its -103 now id prolly play it still but just barely. I def wouldnt be playing it at -120 if you dont have cheap juice.

worm3312000 · 03-04-11, 05:45 PM

0-1 today to bring the YTD to 4-5 for -.59 units. But once again I was right, Seattle +105 was a super bad line, and it closed at seattle -110. The lines were a lot tighter today I found 5 plays the first 2 days but only once today. But I feel confident in saying tail me, because I think I have something here, beating the closing line consistently.

Seattle +105 (-110)

worm3312000 · 03-05-11, 10:09 AM

Pirates +156 and Mets +118 so far

zoso11871 · 03-05-11, 11:30 AM

I try to stay away from spring training. It's pretty difficult to call these games.

officepoolguy · 03-05-11, 11:39 AM

Betting spring training seems very difficult...any secrets?

superman613 · 03-05-11, 12:58 PM

Good luck on your plays today

worm3312000 · 03-08-11, 10:47 AM

We split on our last 2 plays, to bring the YTD to 5-6 for -.03 units. 4 plays today so far
Pirates +144 (I like this one the most, the Pirates lineup is way better than the twins lineup.)
Dodgers +120
Tigers -115
Reds +116

To answer a question from above, all I do is in the morning, look at all the lineups and all the probable pitchers and go from there. Like in the Pirates game the Pirates are starting a very decent lineup (for them) and the Twins are starting 3 everyday players and 2 of them are middle infielders. No way the Pirates should be getting +144 here should be more like +115.

worm3312000 · 03-08-11, 07:42 PM

3-1 today for a profit of 2.65 units to bring the YTD to 8-7 for a profit of 2.62 units. We beat the closing line on 3/4 games today, for some reason the Dodgers line went up a bit, and then they won 7-1.

Pirates +144 (+136)
Det -115 (-130)
Dodgers +120 (+129)
Reds +116 (+112)

Our first good day, but I think theres some good days/weeks to come.

worm3312000 · 03-09-11, 10:45 AM

1 play so far today, Brewers +120. Havent seen the pitchers yet, but the lineups are about equaly as bad. Not in love with this one but I think the Brewers are 50/50 here. Looks like a slow day this might be the only play.

BOBBYW · 03-09-11, 10:54 AM

Thanx...

worm3312000 · 03-10-11, 12:13 AM

Another winner today to move to 9-7 for +3.82 units.

worm3312000 · 03-10-11, 09:59 AM

One play so far today, Indians +115. Indians have a better lineup then the cubs, although the Indians pitchers today scare me. Not in love with it but I think the Indians are almost 50/50 to win game.

worm3312000 · 03-10-11, 11:13 AM

Added Yanks +118

SEAHAWKHARRY · 03-10-11, 12:03 PM

Good luck on the tribe and the hated ones
