Vegas Gold starts Friday May 20

Do you have any suggestions for % in line movement to lay off the pick? For example you posted Royals +122, and its dropped to +105. What do you guys suggest for line movement and staying with the picks? I'll be following this year! Good luck to all!

You stay with the pic. You adjust the amout of your bet. You bet the amount that you have to risk to win 1 unit. I hope that helps you. VG

I went with you on the Giants!

It looked like they were dead the entire game, Florida scored two runs in the 1st and I was like, DAMN!

I went to bed and fell asleep thinking I lost this game but I couldn't sleep and I check the score and I was like holy shit, how did that happen!

It would be an amazing comeback for the Giants to win this game!!

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

hey VG..do you mind if I ask what book you get these lines at? the last few days, including today, I am getting nowhere near the lines you are getting, on not even one game.. im looking at Col +113, Milw -140, tex -200, atl -155, and det +132.... not a big deal.. just curious.. i use three books, and cant find any lines better then that.. guess its time for a 4th!

Hey, VG...I like your style. I have one question tho'...what is supposed to happen on the third play after two successive losses with the same team. It appears that you've done two different things so far...

When SFO lost 1.30, then another 3.06 (trying to win 2.30=the 1.30 lost on game#1 plus a fresh 1.00 for game#2), for a two game loss of 4.36...your next play tried only to recoup just the "small change" 0.36 bit of the 2-game-loss (aiming only for 1.36)...i thought then that your approach was just to recoup enough to just "clean up the loss" to an even whole number of units. If the team finally wins game 3, at least you end up with a "tidy" subtraction from the unit tally (just as every win leaves ends up giving us a "tidy" addition.) In this case we end the three game set down exactly 3.00 units.

But the next time a team lost g1, and recuperative g2 successively (DET, -1.10/push/-1.49 in pursuit of a 2.10 win) for a 2.59 loss...i would have expected you'd shoot for 1.59 in game 3 (which was the second game of sunday's double-header) enough to register a tidy loss of just 1.00 if successful...instead you repeated the previous bet and aimed for 2.59 again which would have left us with a different sort of consolation if game 3 were to succeed (that of losing, on balance...only game 1).

In addition to winning its own fresh 1.00 unit, what is the third bet supposed to be trying to recoup from losses suffered the previous two games...enough to tidy up the net loss to a round number (as with SFO), or enough to nullify the game#2 loss (as we just saw with DET)...or is something else going on.

Finally, I think you'll be happy to know that you've been shortchanging yourself a unit ever since Week#1, Day#2 (when g2 chase wins of 2.65 and 2.72 gave you 5.37...which added onto day#1's nice start of 2.63 to make 8.00 (not 7.00). So you now stand after 10 calendar days (9 with actual play) at 23-13 (63.9% of 36) and +14.44 (one more than the +13.44 you're reporting now).

BOL on the big Monday slate...

[fitguy67]

Last bit of paragraph 3 above should be

...instead you repeated the previous bet and aimed for 2.10 again which would have left us with a different sort of consolation if game 3 were to succeed (that of losing, on balance...only game 1).

[fitguy67]

Damn it still doesn't make sense...after Det's g2, we're down 2.59...what was the logic of betting to win 2.10 units on the third game?

Think i figured it out...Ideally, if it weren't a double header you'd have been able to tell us to next bet to win 1.59 (enough to at least tidy up the units lost, just like you did with SFO)...but because it was a double-header and you wouldn't be able to state the odds in your usual format...you told us to just "repeat" the bet, which was a close enough approximation

I'm interested in this cuz I'm interested in chalk- (but not loss-) recovery bet-sizing methods. Marty and Labby's get scary cuz they impatiently try to recoup previous losses...but methods that aim at recouping only the chalk effectively reward you after your last win to the "+100" state, and are almost as easy to "sleep" with as straight flat betting.
