    Can you imagine what the guy who just found this thread this morning and faded Oakland is thinking.?

    "WTF, I'm down -220 after my first bet".

    Ok... what is going on. After they beat the pirates big in a game I started to track them to see if they would in fact get hot (as it always happens in MLB no matter how bad a team is)

    they have now won 5 in a row... and swept a team?

    all I've been telling gambling newbs in Ohio since the start of the year is that MLB is the most unpredictable sport...

    good luck with the fade when it begins again

    95 games left to play or 59%
    Of the remaining 95 games left to play, I say they win 25% of them.

    95 x 0.25 = 23.75

    They've won 17 games so far, add 24 more

    O/U games won I say 40.5

    If anybody wants to make a prob bet with me,
    100 bet points max, capped at the first ten posters.

    I'll bet 100 bets points that Okland wins more than 37.5 games.
    (They may only play 160 due to PPD rainout that doesn't get rescheduled).

    Any takers?

    I'm thinking mid 40's myself.

    Feeling here is the tanking is over, the point has been made, they're going to Vegas.
    Now the kids that play regularly are going to play like their next contract depends on it.
    And it does.

    Any of these kids that show up and show out and get noticed by the big boys will get paid.

    Alright so after winning 5 and sweeping Milwaukee the next logical move would be getting swept by Tampa?

    Tampa should be able to handle business tonight and all through the series.

    I'm on them -2 and over 9 +205. As well as their TT over 5.5 +105

    You can laugh at me all you want but starting tonite (if they win tonite it counts) I think they play really close to .500 ball the rest of the way barring major injuries. I'm not talking about 1 or 2 starting lineup players or 1 major starting pitcher; I mean if they get ravaged by injuries you can let me off the hook for ole' times sake.

    Thumbs Up! LOL! You beat me tonite. I had the under 8 and Oak +2. You won more. I was a little surprised from Milw to Tb and them coming home they would be that big of dogs.

    Alright Oakland is the best team in the league right now. They're a daily must bet and free money. From worst to best in a handful of days.

    Now let's suppose the very same guy followed up yesterdays bet with the same, and laid -280 fading Oakland.
    He's now down -500 after two days, and needs five consecutive just to break even.

    Conversely, if you're tailing Oakland during this six game heater, you're +960
    This isn't a closely kept secret, I've been saying this for years, taught to me by MLB sharps that's been betting MLB twenty years longer than I have. "betting MLB chalk will cripple your bankroll"

    only way to grind MLB
    -biased dogs, should be in range of 30%+ of total picks
    -half home teams
    -learn 1 run discrepancies in the total's

    Correct. Last night, at least to my knowledge, was the first time all year more dogs won straight up than favs on an MLB card. Favs have been killing it.

    DOGS either home, or away win rate=41.6%
    thats surprisingly low thought they were doing better
    the A's might be to blame
