          That doesn't change my view or bother me at all except that I didn't wait to get even better odds on Zona..

          We'll see what happens with this game soon???

              To me this looks more like a book move to take more juice out of the winner which they believe will be the Dodgers. That being said I am on AZ and I don't know how you don't bet the DBacks at this price with Grienke going.

              Also the correct answer is 69 DUDE!

                IDK about all that, but the Dodgers did get absolutely embarrassed last night at home in that blowout loss so they will try and redeem themselves in tonight's game for sure.. Doesn't matter though, Zona is really dialed in with swag and they are litterally owning the Dodgers right now.. Grienke showed he can handle the Dodgers already also..

                Square bet maybe but I still like Zona in tonight's game especially at +odds.. That's the way I really see it.. Hard to bet against an 11 game winning streak also on a side note..

                    Mean while the Indians still rolling again tonight so far.... Another team that is very difficult to bet against right now in this long winning streak of theirs.. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/clevela...sox-370905104/

                    The odds are tough to swallow but I've been playing the Indians for so long now even when they lose I'll still be up big.. All gravy with the Indians.. I'm getting very use to winning $100 a day off the Indians on Dimes.. I'll miss the gravy train ride when the winning streak ends.. It will end eventually as they all do..

                    $260.00 $100.00 Pending 9/5/17 8:10pm MLB Baseball 923 Cleveland Indians -260* vs Chicago White Sox (D Salazar - R must Start D Holmberg - L must Start)

                        Sorry that's actually a little low. Prob 3 to 5k per game to make couple hundred a year if you was grinding.

                              i think the way to play the indians is keep riding the -1.5 line

                              with september callups and some teams throwing in the towel, lots of blowouts... cleveland keeps winning by 2+ unless they blow it tonight

                                We all do, it's the only way. You need may outs and your outs need outs. And even then, get more outs.

                                Sometimes everyone wonders whether it's worth it. I suggest outside income and a growth style portfolio for those who can win over time.

                                This can be the most satisfying way to win. Paying bills with gambling money makes it harder to grow those funds.

                                I know it is such a catch 22 when someone starts but there has to be a plateau where the bank is the bank and the income happens just like a job.

                                  In the think tank, I started to get into how to manage money when you are treating it as a business and must pull a salary. I was against any form of Kelly betting, even fractional, and was advocating flat betting...that is flat risk.

                                  You could start a bankroll with $1000 and wouldn't need to change your bet size but a dozen times or so, and you could get to $90,000.

                                  The Kelly lovers didn't like my concept of fluctuating bets leading to higher vigorish and worse break even points. They chose to stay optimized, I argued they never really know the edge, so it's a risk. That risk is better for the long term portfolio concept. But as a business and to draw pay, you need a roll.

                                  If you can win, money management, and minimizing the vig over time become very important.

                                            I wonder what that open parlay would've paid.

                                              That's a great question, Foxx. If u just tally up 3 recent fights (Pac/Canelo/Conor), you're already at a price better than +100.

                                              How much risk was there? I'm of the opinion that a healthy Pacquiao would have had a pretty good chance.
                                              Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                                                How much risk was there? I'm of the opinion that a healthy Pacquiao would have had a pretty good chance.
                                                Oh please. Pac would have never beaten mayweather even if they would have fought in 2009-10.

                                                  Mayweather was always going to win, he controls the promotion.

                                                  Don't start with this "who's the better boxer" shit.

                                                      Most of the wealth in the world was created by gambling and usury schemes. What do you think the commodities markets are? Heck, fiat money itself is nothing but a usury scheme that makes many people rich simply by controlling the circulation and creation of the notes. International Jews have become super rich in every century and not a single one of them ever worked hard. If you gave any of them a few plows and some land to farm, they'd sell some of the plows for capital, lease out the land to other farmers, and then they'd set up a commodities exchange for buying and selling of the future corn, potatoes, and wheat that the farmers they leased the land to will grow. Then, when the timing is right, they'll buy up all the crops on speculation when the price is low, they'll create a fake catastrophic event to make people think crops will be scarce because of it, which will drive the prices much higher, and then just before everyone will realize there won't be any crop shortage because the news of the catastrophe was erroneous, they'll dump all of their holdings back on to the market at inflated prices and make billions, while everybody else goes bankrupt and starves. But not to worry, since they'll start loaning out at interest all the billions they made to all the folks who now need to borrow money to survive.

                                                        You could start a bankroll with $1000 and wouldn't need to change your bet size but a dozen times or so, and you could get to $90,000.

                                                        The Kelly lovers didn't like my concept of fluctuating bets leading to higher vigorish and worse break even points. They chose to stay optimized, I argued they never really know the edge, so it's a risk. That risk is better for the long term portfolio concept. But as a business and to draw pay, you need a roll.

                                                        If you can win, money management, and minimizing the vig over time become very important.

                                                        kelly lovers can be narrow minded at times

                                                        for the stuff i bet, it's best to bet the max allowable... more than one way to skin a cat and more than one way to make money gambling

                                                        seems like many in this thread think hardly anyone wins, and the only bets you can make are straight bets on a side for a full game

                                                          I reads ya.. I don't like getting greedy because you can always get squeezed on those -1.5 lines, but when you ride a winning streak for 10 games or more already even when you do lose at the -300 odds you still have won large during the entire streak.. It works for me.. I'm a grinder..

                                                            i don't mind taking the -300 either... just saying that in september a dominant team is more likely to win by 2+ than in may, and the odds don't reflect that or adjust properly
