Official Streak for the Cash discussion thread

[revnecro1273]

hey guys..I think espn has made a big mistake posting all those tennis lines on sunday's board

I think all those tennis matches are on monday morning

check that out before you play tennis or you may lock yourself out for the day

indeed they have...some world wide leader in sports...not knowing that wimbledon never plays matches on the first sunday unless there was extreme case of rain outs...about as bad as that australian shari chick posting french open beginning on a monday...but these tools are suppose to be the world wide leader in sports...and that is just a joke

[ROYAJA8]

Hey guys you have to calm down and start losing let my 10 game winner win haha.

[yisman]

lol at them posting tennis. Classic.

I'm sure they'll realize in the morning and cancel them, so I don't think you'd miss much if you picked them, but obviously there's no reason to pick them when they won't be played.

[craigpb]

Guess women's soccer it is. Wonder if they will be competitive or is this going to be like early group stages of Gold Cup.

yeah right?..million dollar question...Im happy going in..I got 8 team parlay needing last two legs France and Germany to seal the deal

I am just gonna play ten bucks straight on dog and draw and guarantee my self a profit

I am taking last two ranked teams in each group to win group..I got usa and sweden to win it all

Yeah..I am hoping for a tourney of upsets even put some money on equatorial new guinea at a million to one

Well the germans are supposed to run away with tourney..they are host nation too

I can tell you guys the one good thimng is I noticed the usa squad has the prettiest woman they have had in many years as a squad

It has always pissed me off the buzzard face garciaparra is banging mia cause he could play ball

Well i love the starting times at 9 and noon eastern all week to give us an xtra dose of morning action along with wimbleton all week

I will be playing dog and draws and kicking back buzzed and watch every minute

I am the Nigerians give france a match

I hope canada shocks the world and beats or ties the germans..but it may be 3 nothing after 20 minutes..who knows..Lets have a greta tourney fells

[StraitShooter]

Hey guys you have to calm down and start losing let my 10 game winner win haha.

well..you will be sweating out the last 4 days for sure..maybe if it goes down to final day you can tail your opponent and try to guarantee some points

I wish you the best in all your money wagers..But I plan on winning this week..But..when you boast you are toast so maybe I just jinxed myself


If you can hold on and win with ten the gambling Gods love you..Looks like 3-4 guys gonna make a run at you..Good luck

[yisman]

I bet a little on USA to win cup and a little on germany -2.5 because DSI had a good line.

[StraitShooter]

Hey guys you have to calm down and start losing let my 10 game winner win haha.

consider yourself lucky..I was at nine..I was gonna take tb and had two more winners after..my internet went down..I took a laptop and walked back out in the yard where I could grab my neighbor's signal..Some ugly, bald header jinxed mutherfucker comes over to me and asked me what I was playing..He is a walking albatross, schleprock and jonah all rolled into one..all my gambling friends admit for years when he crosses your path you lose that day..If you look into his eyes you lose all week

well I felt him jinx me and I changed my play and lost with germany..Germany blew chance after chance..oh well

I am up 1 again..I will win at least 2 a day and pass you on the last day of the month

[lordswing]

monday looks like garbage, y/n?

japan would be roughly -125ish right? giving 25 cents per quarter goal
i guess that would put england -1.5 at ~-150?
nadal not going 3-0 is probably the best play, but not a great one

so either nadal or english

[yisman]

Mon 6/27Will R. Nadal Win 3-0? 09:30 AM4201 Yes+132 4202 No-146


Mon 6/27Will J.M. Del Potro Win 3-0? 09:30 AM4207 Yes+1650 4208 No-3000



Combined you're looking at something like 47%, making over 3.5 a 53% pick.

I didn't do exact no vig, but I'm pretty close.

Moving on to women's world cup:

Mexico +1.5 looks to be in the -140 to -145 range

Japan -1.5 looks to be about the same.

Mon 6/277216Japan (w)
-1.5 and -2 -102


05:59 AM7217New Zealand (w)
+1.5 and +2 -114

Mon 6/277219Mexico (W)
+1 +104


08:59 AM7220England (w)
-1 -121

[lordswing]

yeah, safe to say you won't be picking (or me)

[yisman]

yeah, just the small correction on that mexico +1.5 is the favorite, because the actual line is 1.

Line move makes the difference a full half-goal, meaning Mexico is now around -165, I'd say.

[yisman]

No HR seems pretty good, based on how the pitchers don't allow many homers and based on the parts of the lineups up.

Also park factor has Tropicana near the bottom in home runs.

Couldn't bring myself to risk a good streak on it, though. Up to a W5, though, I would've done it for sure.

[yisman]

lol, and there's the home run.

For whatever reason, the home run picks usually wind up the opposite of what logic would indicate.

Mental note: remember never to risk a high streak on a home run innings prop (3-4 innings).

I'm thinking about taking the yes run for the later prop.

[yisman]

Also, the last baseball prop of the night is marked SNB, as in Sunday Night Baseball.

First there was posting Wimbledon on Sunday, and now this.

Commies about -180 to cover the sftc line.

[neverstoppers23]

I got a 6 game streak going, I picked the united states soccer team to beat North Korea by two or more. Doesn't look good at all...
BTW what is the password for the SBR group? Can someone PM it to me?

[yisman]

Okay sounds cool. I will.

[lordswing]

go peru

i think i was off by a minute, checked at 9 and saw WNBA had finished, but Senegal had already locked

e: I'm pretty much forced to pick Zona, go home field advantage!

[MexicanStallion]

July's Thread was posted yesterday in the Contest Section.

[StraitShooter]

well..I was surrounded..I mean totally surronded by negative energy jiners this week adn could not get a streak going..

I declare myself belly up and congrats to the winner!!!!!

[lordswing]

hopefully my coin is lucky on these coin flips

[yisman]

Got home from Yankees game, watched a replay of Senegal/Peru.

Onto tomorrow.

no to women's wc. Odds close to even on both.

Murray 3-0 is -116 at Pinnacle.

Looks like the only possibilities are the last two MLB props, and I'm unlikely to pick either.

since I lost, you should probably check those baseball odds again (**** you lopez)

[yisman]

Truth be told, I didn't even bother looking at the night MLB picks last night. I was just looking at the afternoon.

I now see what you mean. I'll have to think it over. Probably still the best idea to wait for the props and see how the game is going.

[Cabo]

Congrats Yis on the side wager for June. Paid in above post.

i would've gone with them if june had 31 days, but time was running out and even if you/nyjets stayed stagnant (highly unlikely) i would've needed 3 more picks tomorrow.

it's hardly a lock, but it might be the best pick between now and tomorrow. bol

[neverstoppers23]

Great, i am going to go join it for next month. I got an 8 game streak going now, so I am ready to roar in July.

[yisman]

I actually thought yes K was a higher percentage pick than Toronto, but the late line move sold me and I figured that who knows, if Philly/Boston was as high-scoring as expected (total was 10 with under favored or 9.5 with over favored), I might have a chance at both.

Toronto tied at 1. Philly leads Boston 2-1 and it's about to hit the 8th.

[yisman]

Stream I was watching died in the 8th but Toronto hung on.

Plus there was somehow a strikeout in about every inning but the 8th so I guess I win the pool for the first time in what feels like ages.

Mexi, keep my entry fee for next month plus take a 10 point tip to cover some of the rake. Thanks.

[StraitShooter]

wow..I bet all my points and relized I need to pay for july already..I will scrape em up next day or so..Count me in guys..this is a great great fun contest..especially when you get a good un going

[yisman]

Looks like my streak is ending here. I wanted to get to 13 but it wasn't meant to be.

Canada is down two goals.


thanks to lordswing for the advice. We're going head to head in July.

[MexicanStallion]

For those who have not, pay in this post or in the Contest/Point Section Thread. I'll pay out and update everything in the morning.

On another note, I think I am done with this contest. I'll probably play at least two months and then see what happens. Now have lost 17 straight months. Won last January when it meant nothing yet.
