Looking at the lines, NYY being underdog doesn't make too much sense to me. Seems like a trap but I still wanna know your reasoning behind picking Boston

First i cap the game like any person would.. and then i "read the lines"..then i look at line movement at certain books..and finally I would like to be oppo of the public on as many plays as I can

Regardless of how you views GoldenGreeks epic winning streak, it's true he will not win EVERY single game he releases. Of course he's bound to actually have a losing day in terms of units lost here or there sometime in the season, but I have followed this man in every sport for a very long time now dating back to 09 (before almost any of you even heard of him), and he is EXTREMELY good in terms of being able to handicap these games and hit at a very high rate. He doesn't just got on these 2-3 day hot streaks and then hit below 50 % for weeks. To me, it seems like it's a natural talent for him to be able to naturally pick winners. Its what he does. Keep up the good work GG. Just don't go tout on us

is the 8 and 2 next to your pick the rating? with 10 being the highest or is that the units at play?

my ratings / rankings are from 1-20...generally they will be from 2-10 with a 20* being a "GOY" type play

lets go SAWKS! get it done at home!

im not chasing the streak

Ive bet against boston 3 times this year and took them only once previously to today

Them being "due" has nothing to do with my play

**Cuno144** · 04-08-11, 01:14 PM

what does GOY stand for? sorry new to the forums.

Ive been gambling over 20 years

I have bet baseball only about 5 years.. I usually take the summer off

Last year was the first year I was succesful betting baseball.. had a great yr. especially in Aug and Sept
So far its been great... will it last ??? No clue

Overall I think I am an above average capper.. I have had both winning and losing season in every sport.. Shit Ive lost 100,000 in a year in the past but Ive also won the same amount a few times

Just bet withing your means.. if you tail and I win great... if I lose dont blame me..remember its your decision
Im not forcing anyone to bet

In regards to your rating system from 1-20 is this how many units we bet? Or is this just the way to rate from weakest to strongest play.

both

**NOREGRETS** · 04-08-11, 01:22 PM

Let's go Boston!!!!!!!

**goldengreek** · 04-08-11, 01:25 PM

DONT EXPECT WRITE - UPS OR EXPLANATIONS FOR THESE GAMES

I JUST HAVE NO TIME

REFER TO POST # 422 AS TO HOW I CAP

SINCE I ALREADY POSTED THIS IN THE NBA SECTION AND PORT WILL PROBABLY BE MY TOP NBA PLAY TONIGHT HERE IS A SMALL WRITE UP FOR THEM:

-Lakers record is @ Portland is a staggering 7-28 S/U since 1992

-All the squares will be on the Lakers thinking that they wont lose 4 in a row... ( why not? SA lost 6 in a row)

-Triple revenge game for Portland

-Pubes thinking Portland will be tired from playing at Utah yesterday and the Lakers are rested

**NOREGRETS** · 04-08-11, 01:26 PM

One on the board, Boston HR.

Almost a guarentee I will be on those teams.. not sure on the rankings yet.. and I will have a few more after I cap the entire NBA card

**NYSportsGuy210** · 04-08-11, 01:34 PM

I like the New Orleans spread play to cover and the OVER 202 for Thunder-Nuggets myself.

**iMxth3xbossx5000** · 04-08-11, 01:39 PM

John Lackey blows

**GGZOLA** · 04-08-11, 01:41 PM

lets see if NYY can score every inning... 2 down 7 to go.

**goldengreek** · 04-08-11, 01:41 PM

Lackey getting lit up like a X-MAS tree
Gonna need 7-8 runs from Boston to win this one

**iMxth3xbossx5000** · 04-08-11, 01:43 PM

Lets see, he already gave up 3 doubles.... LOL! and it's only the 2nd inning!

**CaptainNemo89** · 04-08-11, 01:46 PM

both these pitchers suck... lets just hope lackey will suck less

**Holdin Aces** · 04-08-11, 01:50 PM

I took the Yanks but don't forget Hughes is just as capable of giving up alot of runs.

**NOREGRETS** · 04-08-11, 01:51 PM

Hell yeah!!! Go boston!!!!!!!

**goldengreek** · 04-08-11, 01:51 PM

there we go !!

this is gonna be a 11-10 type game

**F.Lucena** · 04-08-11, 01:52 PM

Boston now is looking good!!!

Good luck today Greek!!

**goldengreek** · 04-08-11, 01:52 PM

To the guy that asked if I was a fluke....

Ive been hot in the NBA the whole year... about 120 games over .500

Bases might be a fluke ( especially this early season record ) but the NBA is not... and If I go 3-8 in the NBA tonight, I would keep tailing till the end of the playoffs

**NOREGRETS** · 04-08-11, 01:52 PM

Get some!!!!!!!!!!

**Angela** · 04-08-11, 01:53 PM

at this rate, we're going to see 20+ runs!

**Glada Tartan** · 04-08-11, 01:53 PM

Thats some heavy action in the Boston game !

8 points already in the second period

**iMxth3xbossx5000** · 04-08-11, 01:55 PM

I told ya all Hughes was garbage lmao, he's giving up runs like wildfire. Boston should just take Lackey out as pitcher to maintain their lead and use the bullpen... So much better a chance of winning that way

**NOREGRETS** · 04-08-11, 01:56 PM

Batting practice...

**jubuck757** · 04-08-11, 01:56 PM

You is defitnely the man when it comes to this baseball stuff.. Me i dont know too much about baseball so i got a question for you... How do you go about determing who is the winning pitcher for the game.. Is it automaticaly the pitcher who starts the game and there team wins..

**Cuno144** · 04-08-11, 01:57 PM

stick a fork in it this game is done. Lesson learned never go against goldengreek.

**Cobra07751** · 04-08-11, 01:58 PM

Phil Hughes doesn't last another inning. I took the Sox RL as I didn't get to see this thread before I placed the bet.

A lot of game left... but yes, your chances are slim

**Cuno144** · 04-08-11, 02:02 PM

I wonder if lackey can hold on to a 3run lead though? and boston's bullpen isn't all that great either. I dont see lackey lasting 5 innings. thoughts?
