Thanks, pal! Actually meant to enter it as a 0.5u bet but messed up and submitted it as a 1u bet. Nice when a mistype works out. 1-2 +1.3u

Pinny didn't have that option so i missed out

Bawth, pinny is good...a combination of pinny AND dimey is even better...more books=more options and better prices thru comparison-shopping

I threw the National League in a 1u 5-Team Parlay for fun on Sunday. The 4 games on Sunday cashed (the 2-0 day I posted along with the A's and Cardinals) so that leaves the National League for the All-Star Game. I lean National League for the game but did a less than full hedge to pick up some free money. So if the National League wins, I pick up 7.73u. If the American League wins, I pick up 6.68u. So I will be rooting in the NL and looking at some of the props when they are released. Regardless, the units won't go on my YTD thread since I didn't release the parlay as an official play. Just explaining my initial lean on the game.

Have National League over 4 runs @1.95 2/10 units
and
Over 9 runs game @2.45 2/10
for this game. Like the price for both bets, let's see what happens

The total is tough. My initial lean was over, even though it's getting bet the other way.

BookMaker? They had it for +350...only missing out on 5 cents there.

I need a book that takes instade8it. I cant use my CC directly with any gambling sites, and I cant even use Skrill either. Ontario laws are much more restrictive than other parts of Canada.

The only two other books i know to take instade8it is bet365 or sports interaction

Ah, ok. I wasn't familiar with Canadian laws. Always assumed it was easier. Guess not though.

Thanks fitguy, but Ontario laws are different than the other provinces. Ontario doesn't allow any online gambleing, so the way to go around it is to use Instade8it, and even skrill wont work if your CC branch is from Ontario. I checked out Bet365 and their margins are pretty bad.

I hear you, but honestly, the public doesn't interest me in the All Star game.
Prices both went up a little, but well, decided to get it in yesterday, so who cares.
Had Cespedes @8.5 yesterday with 0.5 units, so basically I'm investing the winnings here.
I still like both plays tbh, but of course anything can happen in a game like that. We will see how it plays out.

It's retarded. I was pissed when the cards I used before stopped working. Nothing a prepaid card couldn't handle, it's only $5.50.

No kidding. If Mariano Rivera wasn't retiring, this would have been a complete disaster. But hey, at least "This time it counts."

I'm taking it easy following the All-Star break. Players could come back rusty, pitchers could take one rotation to get back in it, etc. Ervin Santana has had a bad July and last year July was his worst month ERA wise and opposing avg wise. He's always susceptible to the early long ball and Cabrera, Fielder, and co. should be able to put a few out.

Fading Matt Harvey after the All-Star Game. Guy was the ambassador for the city, lots of pressure, now it's over and he's back to his shit team and normal pitching routine. The Mets are 18-28 at home which is good for the least amount of wins at home in the NL, 2nd to only the Astros in the Majors. Harvey is a stud, but he seems to hit the wall in the 6th or 7th inning, or he gets no run support, or the bull pen blows it for him. In Harvey's last 9 home starts he is 0-2 with 7 No Decisions. The Mets are 3-6 in Harvey's last 9 home starts. The line seems short here for Harvey, so with all that I will take Cliff Lee and the Fightin' Phillies who need wins to make a playoff run.

I'm also fading Bailey here. He's been garbage since his no-no. Since then he's gone 11 2/3 innings in 2 starts, going 0-2, given up 20H and 8ER. Pirates have decent #'s against him. I know everyone is on the Pirates fade train, but I like them to avoid the sweep here. The Reds won both games by having one big inning. They are still managed by a moron and Chapman has looked a little shaky for a while now even though he's getting the saves.

Waiting on a few more lines. Have a lean on Kansas City, waiting for the public to pound a hot Balty team with a terrible SP taking the mound mañana.
