The only thing I don't like in betting baseball is this

When did you start betting real dollars again ?

It's ok Pavy. But, honestly, right now you sound like a whiny high school girl. Man up and win some soccer bets tomorrow.

I started on April 1 as a joke but I can't stop now that baseball started. It's addictive. This shit never happens in other sports. In soccer you get a push in ties on 2 way betting and in football not many games go to OT. This baseball EI crap is a killer.

You should always read the sportsbook rules before playing. Extra innings are graded as part of your wager. I don't understand what you are complaining about other then hitting a bad run.

I know the rules. Just saying it doesn't offer you an exit strategy.

For example in football if you have a +3.5 you can still cash with a loss in OT.

In the NBA the same if you have the points.

In the NHL if you have the +1.5 line you can still cash with a loss in OT.

In soccer you can bet the pk line or +1 line and still cash with a tie or push with a loss.

In baseball you are in the mercy of the shitty relievers in EI and you either lose or win. You can't even cash all the time with a +1.5 line because they can score more than two runs..it's not sudden death.

90% on boston runline. amazing 9th inning for the books

some baseball beats can be just so devastating. I had 2 beats like that in the past 2 days is bases.
fukin garbage horse shit stuff

there's tons of hockey OT also lately. more scripting by the nhl to make it more entertaining.

When one team scores in the 9th and you lose the bet because the game is over.

I had Nationals today and they lose in EI. Then I bet Mariners they screw up in the 9th. Now I have the Royals and they are in EI. Why does this always happen to me? I also had the RL in the Redsox games both days.

I hate it when say u have over 10 and the score is 4-4 in the bottom 9th.

its not really even an OT. and yes it is kinda sudden death. Every team gets 2 chances at bat, but at the end of 9 its over unless a tie. The home team really has the advantage. Very seldom does the home team get 2 in EI to win, unless a HR with men on base. You know all this going into it, use it to your advantage when cappin'

I sort of do. I dont bet the -1.5 on any home teams. Just the road teams.

THE PROFIT · 04-24-10, 09:59 PM

smart!

I dont really have a good strategy for bases, as I dont bet it heavily. I have tried a little more this season, but with little success. I just havent done it enough, like football, to find any real edge. Any of these fuks can win

No lead is safe in baseball. It's not rigged the the fuking nba or the nfl.

But there is a big difference than other sports. In football, basketball, hockey or soccer you are still depended on your stars to play for you for the win in OT.

In baseball you have sometimes some of the worst pitchers on the team with the game on the line.

THE WORST THING IN BASEBALL HAPPENS A LOT.

LATE IN GAMES THEY PLAY THE INFIELD BACK AND GIVE UP THE RUN FOR THE OUT I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

YOU KNOW IF THE INFILELD WAS IN THEY COULD HAVE CUT DOWN THE RUN BUT THEY PLAY BCK AND GET THE OUT MAN I JUST HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS

BEANTOWNJIM · 04-25-10, 06:27 AM

A TEAM IS WINNING 5-3 MAN ON 3RD ONE OUT YOU NEED TO WIN BY 2 RUNS THEY LET THE GUY SCORE AND GET THE OUT THEY COULD HAVE CUT HIM DOWN AT THE PLATE BUT THEY GO FOR THE OUT AT 1ST BASE.THIS DRIVES ME NUTS WHEN I BET A RUN LINE

Part of gambling, if you can not handle it this is not for you.

Paver did you ever think of moving back to greece?

Stay off the RL. I had a bad stretch in the begining of March in college hoops. Sucks man, I couldn't buy a winner. But you play through the sucky times. April has been great for me. Best of luck, sometimes changing a sport for a few days helps take your mind off the losses.

Hope you get back on track!
