    Diogee going for broke MLB

    Starting my own thread to save Illusion from having to grade my million plays everyday. I know that I play way too many plays but I am playing with small money and play volume to get a good sample size since I am new to the game and trying out some systems as well so would advise not letting these plays persuade you in any way. Will also use my YTD record from Illusion's best bet thread as a starting point.
    All plays listed pitchers and 1 unit unless otherwise stated.

    Thanks guys...I need the luck playing like this. ...still looking at a couple more games as well.

    I took FF mainly because of Smoltz should dominate. Can't see the Fish getting to Hudson and Smoltz back to back...can't back them for the game due to the pen. Run support worries me and I wish I would not have put them in the parlay.

    Good luck Petey...let's hope the Braves pen holds up and Smoltz gets some run support.
    Added Tor RL...Halladay dominates.

    Gotta learn the bases some how and I find betting high volume is the best way for me to learn my strengths and weaknesses...just like I did with the NBA.
    Anything about break even will make me happy this year...goal is a weak +20 units for the season.
    Might eventually look into cricket or turtle racing.

    The bar has already been raised.

    100 unit season.

    That is a little too much pressure...it has been raised to 40 units. If I can get there I will raise it once again...same thing I did with the NBA except my initial goal was 10 units.

    I would say phuck the books but don't have the confidence yet to bet large amounts on any game...maybe in a couple of months but for now keeping it small so the pressure is lower.
