GOLDENGREEK's 2011 MLB SEASON LONG THREAD

[God1]

hey bud...if it is so easy to pick winners..create your own thread and show us how it is done. Even after this horrific streak..the dude is still up 235 UNITS!!!!!!!

um one thing I can tell you is don't bet on the worst teams in baseball. My picks are never Astros, Padres, or Mariners that is for sure. Maybe this guy is up 235 units(just l-o-l when betting 15 units a play) but he definitely didn't get there betting on the padres and astros. And if he keeps that up that will be negative in no time.

Maybe he is just joking with these 15* astros plays? Maybe its some sick joke to get his followers to bet alot of money on such bad teams? I just don't get it

[BigDofBA]

The pirates got very lucky (I'm huge pirate fan since the 70's when willie played for them)..pirates pitcher hits a double scores 2 runs, astros make insane errors at horrible times..etc..so astros could have won that game..

Boon, you seem like a good dude so don't take any of this the wrong way. I'm just throwing out my two cents here.

The Astros "could have" theoretically won a lot of games but their bullpen sucks and their defense has been that great either. That's part of the reason they have the worst record in baseball. Likewise, Correia has been one of the most profitable pitchers to bet on this season. It wasn't like Pitt was down 6-1 and came back because of a bunch of errors. Pitt lead 3-2 and then led 4-3 in the 8th inning. As a Pitt backer, I would have been pissed if they didn't win that game.

The pads game was closer to a coin flip and could have gone either way...

I didn't have that much of a problem playing the Pads in that spot but I sure in hell wouldn't have put 15 units on the second worst offense in baseball against the best pitching staff/defending world champions. Why not play the game for 5 units or something? Why so much?

The only bad game of the 3 was seattle.

Agreed. I have no idea what this play was all about. Seattle is the worst offense in the league, scoring only 1 run in three games, going up against the red hot Rangers who have won 11 in a row. Seattle was starting a rookie as well. Even if you think Seattle had a chance, again I ask, why go so big?

Of course it's easy to second guess after the fact and you are correct, I have made money playing some of GG's ugly plays. With that said, his plays yesterday looked extremely odd to me and I even pointed that out before the games. Ultimately the final decision comes from me on what I play.

When we were making money earlier in the year he wasn't making huge 15 unit plays on the worst teams in baseball and he made "three" of these yesterday. He used to say that a 20* play was a game of the year type of play......You would see a lot of 7 and 8 star plays with the occasional 10 star play. This run he is on kind of reminds me of his run in the NBA playoffs when he started making 20* and 30* plays after a few bad days.

What I'm really trying to say is that I think he is a good capper but I also think he is on serious tilt and trying to chase his losses. Time off might do some good but that's not really his style. I hope he comes back strong.

[Westcoast0]

everytime the word troll is used an angel gets his wings

now where the F are my plays?

[boondoggle]

bigdofba,

No offense taken. I welcome debate and discussion and wish more people could be as civil when discussing these things.

[GUMMO77]

Love the drama, lol. GG would still be in his own thread if he wouldn't feel the need to reply to everyone hating on him. Shit, half the reason people come into this thread is they know that they can say something and GG will reply. I respect GG posting plays, but some of his comebacks to the haters are a bit out of bounds. It's like the haters get off on hating him, and GG get off on being hated.

Anyway, all this shit still cracks me up.

[allabout the $$$]

8* colorado - 125....7* over 8.5 cubs...7* arizona - 125...5* florida + 115...5* cubs + 1.5 ( + 110 ).....3* balty + 115....3* tb + 130

[allabout the $$$]

3* sf - 130

[phillybadboy]

what happened to gg?

[BetterBizness]

the thing about capping is that if you pick them obvious wins that most people would agree with your picks, you are still a mediocre capper.

However, if you got balls to drop a wad of cash on the worst team, underdog and they happens to win like houston 20* a few games ago and it won, like you're a superstar.

Gg is that superstar. Think outside the box makes people a superstar but then again, if you play such style, you do need a bigger bankroll and your ratios of picking upsets are about 70% with picking upsets will make people recognize you.

Anyone know anything about forum website politics? We are all a number to the head honcho in charge. Trolling or not, it builds drama and drama brings traffic to a site. Then again, too much drama will drive them customers elsewhere.

i don't care about drama. All i care about is catching the next person who is on a hot run.

ding ding ding!

[BetterBizness]

You can't expect to win in gambling tailing someone.

Really? So you think everyone who "caps" is a superstar? This forum is made up "cappers" who are losing their shirt this MLB season....

I like you hobo but that's a ridiculous thing to say... unless it was in sarcasm...

As someone said, part of the "art" of tailing, is knowing who/when to follow and when to back off.... But if you're too selective you could be chasing your tail....

[BetterBizness]

why such big bets on the worst offenses in baseball

You are probably the donkey that checks ESPN previews before the game to cap too huh...

[Illusion]

Illusion-Thanks for the infraction....Keep up the good work pal.

Anytime.

[boondoggle]

GG says no pinny plays tomorrow....

and wishes to convey to illusion his disappointment

[R23k]

Screw Halladay. Of course when I bet on him he cant go 4 innings

I had $35 risked from parlays last night and needed Philly, WSox, Over redsox/game to win over $1500.

Spent the day btching about the heat instead of pitching

[God1]

OK- i still don't get it. Tonight he bets against the 4 best teams in baseball(braves,phillies,yankees,red sox). He's lucky to even go 2-2, but still down 4 units on that play because he made biggest play against braves?? AND over with roy halladay pitching>????? CALL ME CONFUSED
I see a trend here

whose ghost acct are you now? If you dont get it then dont come to the thread. Those may be the "best teams in baseball" but all teams have to lose sometimes right? Those are also the most publicly bet teams in baseball as well right? Has a game never gona over with halladay pitching in all of his career? jesus christ.. the only trend i see is people coming in here with ghost accounts and bashing peoples plays after they lose and have nothing to say before the game starts. If you are such a good capper please start your own thread and share your picks..

[God1]

REALLY?? REALLY???

Sorry guy you seem frustrated it's really simple. Answer me this? How do you expect to win money betting against the best in baseball and then betting ON the worst(astros)? I still think it just might be a sick joke and he is laughing behind the computer at people who follow him(What other Explanation?). Think of how much money you would be in the hole if you bet against the yankees, red sox, phillies, braves every game and bet on the astros? You could drive a tank through that hole

Look i am no expert but betting against teams that are winning 60%+ is just not smart

[DirkIsDirty]

What is going on with this thread? Go bitch to your mommy if you lose money! No one gives a shit if you lose or win. Take ggs bets or don't. I'm sick of scrolling through 500 stupid ass comments to find his picks

Then get a twitter.

I'm sick of scrolling through pages of people bitching about finding his picks.

[twelvejewelz]

Look i am no expert

exactly obviously. Halladay Only pitched 4 innings anyway. If you look at these teams records and the amount of juice that you would have to lay on some of these teams -150 to -200 you would probably be down alot of $$ betting on the "best teams in baseball" every game. GG picks his spots and makes his plays accordingly and its his way of capping. If you have a different way feel free to open a thread and post your plays and you can take the yankees at -160 every night and have fun with that. Obviously GG system was working great as he was up +450 units in almost no time at all. Even now hes still up over 200 units which is still an amazing accomplishment which some people have never even seen 200 units in their lives and obviously his method works.You do realize that "the best teams in baseball" have all lost about 40 times each right??...

Read this and gain some knowledge....

http://riveraveblues.com/2009/12/why-its-not-a-good-idea-to-bet-on-the-yankees-21816/

and something else:
MLB
Best: Los Angeles Angels
Only seven baseball teams produced a profit this decade. The Angels were by far the best bet.
A $100 player who bet on the Angels every game the past 10 seasons made $10,888.
Their most profitable season was this year, when they finished at +$3,734.
The only other teams to report a profit this decade were: Florida (+$3,411), Minnesota (+$4,550) Oakland (+6,635), San Francisco (+2,466), St. Louis (+$7,423) and Texas (+$447).
The Mariners produced the most profitable single season of the decade. Their 120 wins in 2001 resulted in a profit of $4,693.
Worst: Chicago Cubs
Baseball fans’ affection for the Loveable Losers cost them dearly. The Cubs lost a $100 player $16,276 this decade. The Cubs had profitable seasons only twice and they were puny. In 2008, they made $969 and in 2001, they finished up $318.
Other high-profile losers include: the Yankees -$5,233, Red Sox -$1,170, Dodgers -$2,294 and Mets -$6,151.
The Diamondbacks produced the worst single season this decade, losing $6,125 in 2004.

[God1]

LOL @ the idea of having lost money betting on teams that have already won 56+ games this season(phils, braves, yankees, red sox). You do know simple math right my friend?

If you look at these teams records and the amount of juice that you would have to lay on some of these teams -150 to -200

You obviously made this up here's the real average lines for 4 best teams in baseball this season: Yankees -137, Red Sox -144, Phillies -153, Braves -127. And all of those teams have turned a profit so far had you been betting on them every single game this season

You want to keep betting against 95+ win teams be my guest twelvejewels there's better ways to throw your money away though

[phillybadboy]

[GGZOLA]

Greek needs to take a break till august and all you need to chill out or find other cappers who are hot now, there are a few out there go find em

I feel like if I just bet 1 unit on every Pittsburgh and Cleveland game the rest of the year I would make money. I think I'm going to throw the White Sox in there as well.
