      Having Jennifer Love Hewitt as your avatar is a good start. Good luck, the under is a good play, especially for such a high total.

        Some night plays:

        Rays and Twins (WIN) Parlay
        $25 TO WIN $46.47

        Brewers/Twins UNDER 8.5
        $25 TO WIN $21.74

        Cubs/Whitesox UNDER 9
        25 TO WIN 23.81

        Might be throwing in 1 or 2 more plays if my early bet with the NYM/NYY under wins.

          $53 TO WIN 42.40...

          So you bet the under 10 at a line of -125 ..... I placed the same bet at +100 on matchbook

          That's not even close.....

                Yanks/Mets have went over the posted total last 5 games counting the early game against each other. Play the over again for the night game and lets cash another over just like this morning.

                  Ponson is 7-0 in the over in the last 7, look for the Mets to light him up again and Pedro will give up his share as he is not the Pedro of old. OVER

                    Thread should be renamed 350 to zero because this person is a complete joke. Her first Pick UNDER 10 lmao they put up like 21 runs and she even gets the worst odds for her money (-125) down right laughable. The funny thing is they think they can build it up to 5000.

                      Shock, you are pretty stupid. You are one of those people who only cares about outcomes and not what actually happens. There was no way of knowing that the game would be so high scoring with Giese, who was good up until that game, and Pelfrey, who has also been good, on the mound.

                      He is laying his reputation out on the line, which is more admirable than criticizing his decisions.

                          The fact that these two teams put monster runs up when they see each other wasn't a tip for the over? They have played the over the last 5 coming into today and both these teams have great lineups and shitty pitching. Over is the only bet when these two are playing or just stay away because there is just too much batting between the two. Even if Santana was pitching against Wang I would still take the over.

                                You have some hill to climb.

                                Your going need some serious luck on your side to pull this off.Once I had brought $300 up to $2200.Ended up with $1,200 as I went on a serious slump.Well I let my brother play on $400 also which was foolish as he lost that as well.Well good luck and be patient.

                                  andrewaxia,

                                  first off, all the best on this one. just wanted to ask what money management you're applying? are you betting certain % of your bank?

                                  thanks!

                                    Am I missing something here ? Should you be -$10.98 instead of +$42.02

                                      Yes - I deposited $350 (well $353 to be exact) and bet 53 on the NYM/NYY in game 1 and decided to hedge that with a $300 play to win $50 on Marcos Baghdatis (Wimbledon tennis) which I never included here.

                                      1 play for MLB early on:

                                                      Yeah, I think you should probably stick to the tennis capping.... Not saying I'd cap those games any better than you, but I woulda stayed away from a lot of those games... And what really lost me is when you layed any money on the nats runline -1.5.... They are the worst team in baseball... And home field doesn't matter in the "beltway battle"... Just came home from the game and there was more orange (much more) than red there... I'd stay away from a game before I bet the nats, and definitely not -1.5...

                                                        Andrew, you can do this. But if I were you I'd make bigger bets. People often say "bet two percent of your bankroll". Well, that's for people with huge starting banks and who make lots of bets per day.

                                                        In your case, I would take your bankroll and divide it by 10-12 units and get started. After two consecutive wins, increase your bet by half the previous bet. If you lose it all using this strategy, it means you're hitting less than 50% or you get off to an ice-cold start. Either way, at least you'll go down fighting and having fun rather than making $17 bets. All you need is a quick start and you're on your way.

                                                        Don't listen to these clowns that tell you not to cap. If you like a play, go with it. Post it up, live with the consequences, and tell everyone to go to hell. There are worse things in life than losing a gambling bankroll. WTF does it matter?
