**yisman** · 04-15-11, 08:01 AM

missed golf by a minute.

**yisman** · 04-15-11, 08:04 AM

I was tired last night and went to sleep early and then didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.

To make matters worse, Cink win or tie is a massive favorite. As big a golf fave as ever gets posted.

**Living The Dream** · 04-15-11, 08:08 AM

What sucks is everytime I get a streak around 8 I go and pick some stupid soccer match and lose it!

**yisman** · 04-15-11, 11:04 AM

Mega-fave goes down.

Bodog had the line:

Cink -190
Green +190
tie +750 (I think)

basically, Cink ML/PK was -190 and if you made Cink +.5 as sftc did, he would've been -230 or something.

**yisman** · 04-15-11, 12:26 PM

This makes no sense.

Fri 4/15 213 Anthony Kim (2nd Rnd) +½ -108 +115 1:55PM 214 Bo Van Pelt (2nd Rnd) -½ -112 -135

So Van Pelt is favored. Pinnacle has very similar odds to 5D.

But if you go to Betfair or Bodog, Kim is the favorite in the group.

Johnson Wagner
3.2

Anthony Kim
2.7

Bo Van Pelt
2.94

**losturmarbles** · 04-15-11, 01:07 PM

How was Betfair's liquidity on the match? Didn't look like much laying offers a few minutes ago.

I'd go with Pinny being closer to the true line here.

**yisman** · 04-15-11, 01:14 PM

Liquidity probably wasn't great but I had two books there.

I think it was a market inefficiency. Two books with one line set and two books with another, although they're not directly opposite because one is two ball and one is three ball. I bet both ways but for small amounts.

Betfair isn't a book.

Better gauge would be to look at the limits. I wish I could see Pinny's limits sometimes, but everything is marked $.01 for US accounts.

**bondguy007** · 04-18-11, 03:51 PM

I just got to a W7 (mdactkids; Yes, I know I'm not participating in the contest on this forum because I just joined, but this is the longest streak I've had on SFTC. Must be dumb luck.)

You can fix that easily by not having a US account...

**ronjon619** · 04-18-11, 11:15 PM

Sammy has a 10 game streak and he is not in the points pool.

LOL yeah I guess I could. BTW didn't you once say that Pinny had previously banned you?

**yisman** · 04-19-11, 07:37 PM

Rose under was an easy pick last night...and it naturally lost.

Line was set 7 points higher than it was at 5 Dimes.

yep, that was before I signed up for an account, they are not happy when you F5 too much. I got that taken care of and have been much more careful now, no problems with Pinny besides the usual DoS attacks

and **** soccer

**xxx** · 04-20-11, 12:38 PM

43 wins this mounth and only a W5 streak to show for

**lordswing** · 04-20-11, 09:52 PM

tampa was a solid choice, i would settle for a push now, =/

**yisman** · 04-21-11, 07:47 PM

Thierry Henry

**yisman** · 04-21-11, 09:47 PM

I should get extra points. I took NY +.5 and they won 4-0.

Meanwhile, many of the streaks ahead of me took Chicago, which barely squeaked out a victory.

I passed on Dallas/Portland. Total was 3 points off, but 3 points on an NBA total is only worth like 25 cents or something.

**CaDDyy** · 04-23-11, 01:07 AM

what you guys think for tomorrow
pacers 3pointers
blazers
angels

**l7ustin** · 04-23-11, 08:27 AM

i was liking penguins and giants. and angels. i think mavs win and the pacers 3s seemed pretty good until i saw they only hit 1 last game. but i could see them winning the game s/u so

**yisman** · 04-23-11, 07:56 PM

Was there a big streak buster while I was gone?

**ronjon619** · 04-23-11, 08:58 PM

Kobe killed my W9 last night

**yisman** · 04-23-11, 09:59 PM

Weird that they posted a first half prop for tonight's OKC/Denver game when no picks were possible after. If they were doing a full game SU pick, the Durant prop should've been full game (o/u 29.5 or something).

**CaDDyy** · 04-24-11, 02:49 AM

Got a W9 thinking
heat winning margin
celtics
predators

**mikejamm** · 04-24-11, 07:23 AM

Hey good people, Is someone gonna go ahead and start a points posting thread for May?

**lordswing** · 04-24-11, 06:13 PM

wee sample size, '11 stats for pujols gives AOR ~60%, career stats for pujols brings that down to 43%

yes i am getting desperate

**mikejamm** · 04-25-11, 06:54 AM

Same here bro, I get to 3 or 4 wins and then crash with the the rest of the sheep!

Gotta start pick'in some upsets! High streak of 7W this month, just fuk'in awful!

Not a lot of blue stars in our group, hopefully we can pick it up on this last week!

**SamsNCharge99** · 04-25-11, 07:18 AM

i had 10 and 7 this month, fukk this game is hard

Yes I will be putting up a thread today.

**yisman** · 04-25-11, 07:41 PM

would've considered Dirk under, but locked out.

**yisman** · 04-27-11, 12:30 AM

I'd be pretty upset if I picked the Bulls on streak tonight.

They graded the Bulls -9.5 prop as a push because it said

Pacers: Single Digit Win or Loss
