Green MLB Thread

[greenhippo]

Figure now is a good enough time to get a thread going, idea is to have 3-5 bets everyday of the season. I won't even attempt at doing totals as I have zero grasp on it. Will be a TON of Score in the 1st Inning bets for this season, as well as heavy favorites covering the -1.5r spread. From what I gather most like to bet strictly ML, I will have a few, but it won't be a majority.

Almost every loss will be followed by a chase of 3 (maybe 4, but that will be a rarity) games. I do have a procedure for what constitutes a bet for that day, whether it's the matchup, my personal feelings, or based off a few of the spreadsheets of information I've been building for a month or so. The procedure will probably be discussed further on in the season if things take off like I'm hoping they do.

All lines will be as of the post the current 5Dimes lines as right now that is the only book I will be placing bets on.

If I fail I'll give a few special posters on here some good ammo to shoot me down with when I continue to troll their threads. I have specific goals for the every week/month/entire season and those will be discussed later on so I don't look like a complete idiot if I don't reach a third of what I'm hoping. I don't expect anyone really to tail me for several weeks as I work my way up to a known name here on the boards, hopefully by the end of May I'll have gained some followers.

Record will be updated daily with a post of the years record as well as updating the above post with the year's record.

No score in the 1st inning Marlins/Cards 1U (-140)

First (real) game of the season, batters will be trying to feel out Lohse and Johnson, expect a relatively quick and clean 1st inning. Will almost never make this bet in a Cardinals matchup, but it looks like a good spot nonetheless.

[greenhippo]

0-1 on the day -1.4U

Realized today that keeping a record on here is going to be very challenging, stupid day job. Hopefully I can keep up with it though.

[greenhippo]

Dodgers -1.5 (+115) 1U

Kershaw should shutdown that crap Padre lineup. Looking at Kemp to get the year started off right with a big opening day. Organization should be in high spirits after McCourt was given the boot, hopefully it follows onto the field.

[greenhippo]

Tigers/Red Sox O 7 (-105) 1U

Ellsbury, Pedroia, Miggy, Fielder, Avilla, Gonzo, Ortiz, Peralta, Youk. I know it's Verlander and Lester going at it, but I don't see Lohse type numbers for either of these two, thinking both don't go past 6th inning with the score being 3-3 or 3-4.

[greenhippo]

No Score 1st Inning Phils/Pirates .75U

[greenhippo]

No Score 1st Inning Cubs/Nats 1U (-150)

[greenhippo]

3-1 +.95U so far on the day, hoping the Dodgers can win by a few runs tonight.

[greenhippo]

Live play .25U no score 5th inning marlins/reds

4-1 +2.10 U on the day
4-2 +.70 U Thread

[greenhippo]

No Score 1st Inning Mariners/A's 1.5U (-150)

Rangers ML 1.5U (-180)

[greenhippo]

2-0 +3.0 U on the day

6-2 +3.70 U Thread

[greenhippo]

Lot of people tried to be sharp tonight and take the Royals +1.5. If your opening day pitcher is Bruce Chen (and he pitched amazing tonight) you don't deserve to win or lose by a single run against the Angels in their home and season opener.

[greenhippo]

Well I had no score 1st in the indians/blue jays game and of course I sleep right through the beginning of the game so no chance to post it beforehand. Sadly this will probably not be the first time.

[greenhippo]

Two team parlay .75U to win 1.8U

H+R+E U 28.5 Orioles/Twins - H+R+E U 23 Mariners/A's

There will be a few of these 2 team parlays throughout the season.

Hoping Liriano is on for tonight and the Twins don't score much themselves, and the Mariners and A's to have their typical low hit/low scoring game.

[greenhippo]

No Score 1st Inning Giants/Dbacks .5U (-125)

No Score 1st Innings Twins/Indians 1.5U (-110)

Phillis ML 2U (-158)
I don't think they lose this series so a loss today will be followed by a chase tomorrow.

Mariners -1 1.5U (+110)
Felix vs Colon, Mariners bats came alive yesterday, thinking they'll score a few runs tonight and win by a few.

[greenhippo]

Well that didn't take long.

Almost took the no score 1st in the royals/angels as well, avoided one there.

[greenhippo]

Rangers ML 1.5U (-168)
See Phillies breakdown above.

[greenhippo]

Second win and first official win of the day.

[greenhippo]

Twins making the Orioles look like a team of all-stars again.


Like someone mentioned in an earlier thread, fielding in this game is an abortion, it's like they wrapped the horribleness of the Twins team and put it all over the hands of both teams out in the field. Lost the small parlay bet and I think it'll come down to the errors.

[greenhippo]

Nice hold there Nathan, have to hope for a nice comeback now to keep from totally getting bent over today and start the chasing earlier than I'd like.

Currently at +.79U with two bets pending for the thread.

[greenhippo]

Phillies ML 4.5U (-124) 4/8/12

Worley is a better than decent pitcher, after looking like the A's for two games I have to believe the Phillies will score upwards of 3 or 4 runs tomorrow and eek out a win.

[greenhippo]

Texas line is too big right now, will be waiting for the -1 line tomorrow.

[Maddhatter]

Referring to your Philly pick....

I was looking at that game also and decided to take a shot on the under 7.5 instead of taking the Phillies w/ how anemic the Philly bats seem to be. GL and hope we both hit.

[greenhippo]

I'm thinking you have a lock on yours I easily see Pirates being shut down again, Phillies are getting hits, just not extra base hits.

[Maddhatter]

Yeah, I was thinking Philly wins 3-1, 3-2 type of game. We'll see....

[Maddhatter]

So much for that idea. Seems we both should've won but ended up on the losing side. Toronto, Miami, KC on my radar for tomorrow. GL bud!

[greenhippo]

Brutal day. Phillies had that won, 4-1 over the Pirates.

Astros 1U
Angels 4U
Yanks 2U

[greenhippo]

3-0 on the day +7.3 U

Thread +2.51 U


Today helped after the Phillies rape the previous two days.

[No coincidences]

Nice work.

[greenhippo]

Would have taken a week long breather if I was bent over again today.

[greenhippo]

For tomorrow:

Brewers 2U (-130)
Astros .5U (+110) Will be going to the game
Yankees 1U (-165)

[greenhippo]

Brew crew got us a win to start the day off right.

[greenhippo]

Yanks took care of business but Astros came up short, hate going to a game and my team losing, takes some of the fun out of it.

+2.5 U on the day
