pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[losturmarbles]

streak +7

i started to go with the cards but i just dont trust them.

i'm taking the giants later.

[yisman]

I picked the Cardinals last night but due to tennis, I didn't have time to properly evaluate that game, so I canceled out.

[yisman]

the two picks I considered (Cardinals and Tiger Woods) both won.

Taking the Sparks tonight.

[MexicanStallion]

Wish I would have helped you out and told you to get the Cards. That was one of the easiest picks of the day. I sadly know all about how Arroyo blows.

[pico]

streak 1

la sparks

[yisman]

streak at 0.

Back to the drawing board...

9 5+ winning streaks, 2 5+ losing streaks.

[pico]

beaver ball sucks

streak -1

kalmar ff

[yisman]

I took Kalmar but I also like 3 homers or less. I actually was going to change it but I missed the 1 PM deadline.

[yisman]

I took Kalmar but I also like 3 homers or less. I actually was going to change it but I missed the 1 PM deadline.

Both won.

Kalmar actually won outright (they were win or draw) and the Yankees game finished with three homers. That one nearly lost, though, as the third homer occurred in the top of the 7th and there were a bunch of missed chances for #4. Kalmar was the better pick.

Streak of 1, took the Phillies. Hoping to get in a second pick.

1)toss-up
2)Phillies
3)Astros
4)Diamondbacks
5)Angels
6)Mariners
7)toss-up. I think I'd take 4 or more if Phillies unlock in time for that one (10:15) but not in time for the 10:05 and 10:10.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +2

Houston

[yisman]

ha., but I think it's Shinoda

Shhhhh22 Entry, M. Shenouda

[yisman]

I think my Phillies win should count for two wins.

It's 22-1 in the 9th.

[yisman]

Streak at 2.

Took Seattle.

[yisman]

shhhh risked a 4 gamer on Texas. Texas is ahead now, but I don't think that was a safe pick.

That game was a toss-up to me.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +3

Will pass on Cycling. No leans with the rest of the games.

[yisman]

the under won for the first four innings, but the over won for first five.

Sandoval hit a grand slam in the 5th.

[yisman]

Streak +3

Will pass on Cycling. No leans with the rest of the games.

Looks like we may be tied for the lead in a half an hour or so.

[yisman]

and we are now tied at the top with W3s.

[pico]

streak 2

astana for tour de france

[yisman]

Every single pick that had the higher % won on Monday. That might be a first.

Also, they originally had volleyball and lacrosse posted, until they realized those matches were already played. They got pulled.

=====
some odds:

101 Astana -165
102 Garmin Slipstream +350
103 Team Columbia +450
104 Team Saxo Bank +600
105 Liquigas +10000
106 Rabobank +25000
107 Silence Lotto +30000
108 Cervelo Test Team +30000
109 Caissee D'Epargne +30000
110 Quick Step +30000
111 Team Milram +50000
112 Team Katusha +50000
113 La Francaise Des Jeux +50000
114 Euskaltel +75000
115 Skill Shimano +75000
116 Ag2r +75000
117 Bbox Bouygues Telecom +100000
118 Agritubel +100000
119 Cofidis +100000
120 Lampre +75000

Bet US:

Astana -160
The Field +120

[yisman]

I read the discussion on cycling. It was stuff about Michael Jackson, religion, and then hundreds of posts by idiots arguing about Iowa football, with occasional "are they winning?" or "when does this end?" stuck in.

Anyway, I think Astana won by 18 seconds, and Lance missed getting the yellow jersey by thousandths of a second.

Streak at 4.

[MexicanStallion]

Well nice call there Yis. I thought about going with it, but just passed.

[SamsNCharge99]

streak of 2, going w/ Dodgers

[losturmarbles]

streak +1

dodgers will lose tonight sam

i'm either taking mets or twins

might as well take mets and then maybe have time to get another pick in

[yisman]

streak 4

I'll go with what broke my 6 gamer: WNBA


Baseball props are risky, and I didn't like any of the games much (except maybe Seattle).

No way for me to get in two picks because the 7 PM stuff didn't appeal to me.

[yisman]

Maybe I should've taken Verlander Ks, but my Internet is dragging and there was too much other stuff to do before 7 PM. Didn't have time to look at it.

Numbers favor Ks.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +3

Twins

[yisman]

Verlander is getting hit hard.

Odd. He's been dominant at home this season, and I think every start over the last two years at home against the Royals, he's had more Ks than hits allowed.

[pico]

streak 3

pujos

[SamsNCharge99]

good pick yisman and Sexy.....team is 25% of public due to records, but we know as GAMBLERS, the home team is a 7 point favorite....how can you not take that even if it loses

Dodgers are gonna be a win

Streak of 3...won't pick anything else for the night

[pico]

streak 4

any other cyclist

[yisman]

Had to wake up at 5:32 AM to take someone to the airport.

I still find it odd that such a low percentage had Sacramento. Who cares about overall record? Look at the home/road splits!

Not sure about this morning's cycling, so I think I'll skip it.
Anyway, people who took that game got screwed out of taking the late prop. The Streakmaster or whatever dumbass was handling things, pulled quite a stunt. The time did not get pushed back from 11:55 PM. Then, at 12:03, it got unlocked for a few seconds and then locked again.

If I had wanted to take it, I would've picked for there to be a run scored anyway, but it was bush league.

[yisman]

Cavendish is -225 at Bet US. Oh well.

I missed the deadline, but the baseball pick for this afternoon looks easy.

Braves/Cubs should definitely have more runs than Pirates/Astros.

I decided to take soccer win/draw at 2:28, but my connection is slow and espn's website claims I didn't get the pick in in time.

Oh well.

Looked like two easy afternoon picks.
