I wouldn't risk anything over 5 on it, but Barcelona is favored to cover -1.5.

They're actually -2 (-145) at Bodog.

That match was basically a coin flip and I was very confident in the over 4.5.

yeah, i got a little impatient. i thought Lapentti had a slight edge, figured Greul was more of a public fave. but i was just going to skip it. but then i seen the line had moved slightly toward lapentti, so i went ahead and picked him this morning.

thanks

So the Moron in Charge pulled the Pettitte prop (over/under 1.5 earned runs allowed) and replaced it with over/under 1.5 runs in the first inning.

By the way, he's now on a 13 game losing streak.

The pick for the first would've been over.

The pick for the second would be under.

The question is whether it's a better bet than Dushevina over.

SamsNCharge99 · 08-31-09, 04:54 PM

0 or 1 runs for yanks

MexicanStallion · 08-31-09, 05:00 PM

Streak +2
Houston Texans

losturmarbles · 08-31-09, 05:27 PM

streak 1

~~twins~~
changed my mind.
i think i actually like the sox to win that game.

switched to the angels.

yisman · 08-31-09, 05:31 PM

you can get more picks in by taking the Yankees prop or even the Venus prop.

good luck jpow

welcome to the group

yisman · 08-31-09, 06:16 PM

baseball under won easily

yisman · 08-31-09, 07:56 PM

first inning was 6 up and 6 down.

Tennis is tied at four games apiece in the first set, guaranteeing an over if the match is completed.

SamsNCharge99 · 08-31-09, 07:59 PM

got streak of 2...going w/ the Padres

yisman · 09-01-09, 11:09 AM

Sammy, your dad put an 8 game winning streak on Jarko Nieminen.

my brother did...golfertap is mt Dad.

He just picks to pick I guess, not much thought involved

yisman · 09-01-09, 11:55 AM

^ Whoops. Didn't realize.

He has a decent percentage, but I don't think that was a smart pick.

W11 on 17 games or more here.

SamsNCharge99 · 09-01-09, 12:11 PM

Safina is SOOO OVER RATED...can't believe she is still #1, but anyway...good luck YISMAN..I think that's a SOLID pick

SamsNCharge99 · 09-01-09, 02:41 PM

good pick Yisman...keep DOING WORK man, you are 100% best person in the group, you are patient and pick good spots.

Streak of 4 for me...going w/ B-Town w/ Lester

yisman · 09-01-09, 02:58 PM

it was a good pick, but they removed it if you took it after a certain point in time.

Oh well. Still at 11. The only possible thing to consider is Boston with Lester.

yisman · 09-01-09, 03:49 PM

passing on Boston, which means passing on the whole day. I'll look at the later stuff again.

Shorter streaks should take Toronto to score first and then either tennis or WNBA.

SamsNCharge99 · 09-01-09, 03:59 PM

ohh. yeah, Texas is at 505, I'll choose Texas to score first, hopefully get streak to 5, then Boston

i know, I have sooo many, can't get over the 8 hump though...3x have had it and lost

yisman · 09-01-09, 04:57 PM

I actually checked the odds on the Sharapova match earlier, and Pinnacle has the total set at 18.5 with the under at -115 or so.

Basing off of that, Pironkova is expected to win roughly 6 games.

I don't have any particular reason to think that she's going to win more or less than that.

losturmarbles · 09-01-09, 08:43 PM

well damn, jpow's pick lost.

SamsNCharge99 · 09-01-09, 08:59 PM

Boston is gonna win...streak of 6...may go w/ ANR for Manny, we shall see

yisman · 09-01-09, 09:05 PM

ugh, I hate skipping Oakland. They're one of my best bets.

But there will be better picks. Patience. Can't exactly risk an 11 streak on a game between two teams well out of contention, with two bad lineups, and two weak pitchers.

pico · 09-01-09, 11:00 PM

wnba sucks

streak -1

SamsNCharge99 · 09-01-09, 11:04 PM
