**craigpb** · 06-30-11, 11:08 PM

Hopefully July turns out more fruitful for some of us.

**yisman** · 06-30-11, 11:10 PM

SS that's me.

It's been too long.

**ThaddeusB** · 07-01-11, 12:24 AM

Looks like several 60%+ options are available for day 1

**ThaddeusB** · 07-02-11, 01:05 PM

I'm off to a fast start with the groups first star (W5). Maybe I'll win the $400,000

**lordswing** · 07-02-11, 02:10 PM

obligatory FU to mexico from yesterday

**lordswing** · 07-03-11, 12:47 PM

thanks for showing up norway

they had to be ~-200 favs, +1/+1.5 was -170 i think

**craigpb** · 07-04-11, 12:24 AM

Is the Hot Dog under a gimme or does it just look that way? Also they will put anything on STFC that is on ESPN, odds be damned.

I just took the over cause its first on the board when I looked at it and gota get out of the gate

we could use a few more players this month too..we are down in numbers

**yisman** · 07-04-11, 01:14 AM

Awful day for streak

On the road most of the day.

Anyway, hot dog prop:

Total Hot Dogs eaten by Joey Chestnut 09:00 AM103 Over58.5 Hot Dogs Eaten -104 104 Under58.5 Hot Dogs Eaten -112

This is only for chestnut, but no one else is expected to get to that many. Pretty much a toss-up of a prop.

Is the Hot Dog under a gimme or does it just look that way? Also they will put anything on STFC that is on ESPN, odds be damned.

They'll post anything from ESPN, but they try to find a way to make it a fairly even prop. Based on odds, this is pretty much 50/50. Notice they didn't make it Chestnut or AOR, because that would've been slanted.

**ThaddeusB** · 07-05-11, 11:27 AM

I'm late to the discussion re:hot dogs, but IMO over was a very good bet (took it for cash and points). Last year's totals were way down because of 100+ degree heat, so the totals were bound to go up. I believe 6 of the top 7 (top 5 guys, top 2 gals) beat there number from last year. I made about $250 cash off the event, which is quite a lot for me since I usually bet $10-$50 per pick.

**ThaddeusB** · 07-05-11, 11:29 AM

I'm off to a great start this month, with 15 wins in the first 4 days. On pace for the monthly wins title (and on the leader board currently), so I'll keep pushing (rather than trying to build a streak) as long as that is true.

Its highly probable I won't keep the pace up, but if/when I lose several in a row it won't have anything to do with me commenting on my good luck thus far.

it isn't the posting that jynxes it...it is the mentality that comes about that allows one to post about it...one becomes a bit too cocky and full of themselves...and they think they can't be stopped

**yisman** · 07-05-11, 08:36 PM

I meant to take no XBH, luckily forgot to pick it. I was waiting to see what part of the orders.

Then I wanted to take no runs, but they locked that 10 minutes early. Rest of the night stuff not so good so I'll wait for tomorrow.

**craigpb** · 07-06-11, 01:58 PM

Lots of upsets with the baseball picks last night though I realize most were low favs.

**yisman** · 07-06-11, 02:01 PM

Messed up this afternoon. Had it down to Milwaukee and USA soccer, and wanted to check odds on US and then decide. Ended up remembering 2 minutes too late for Milwaukee, and USA had dropped into the -140 area. Not the worst thing, though.

**craigpb** · 07-06-11, 11:28 PM

US had their chances today; better get it together going against Brazil.

Click on Not Started and go to stage 6. Those mofos are riding their bikes right now!! Chasing a red car and some kind of magical moving golden arch!! They are going to be tired as all get out tomorrow morning.

Nothing to get cocky about. I'm just taking the (Vegas) favorite every time. I've been fortunate enough to guess (and I do mean guess) correctly when two games were equally attractive several times. I don't claim to be smarter than the line, just smart enough to go with it instead of the streaker percentages, which often highly favor the underdog.

**craigpb** · 07-07-11, 11:43 PM

Everyone is starting out much slower than last month so far.

yeah..weird how a 5 has held almost one third the month..it gets fun when you can get like a ten gamer going but cant seem to get out the starting block yet

**StraitShooter** · 07-08-11, 01:00 AM

plus seems like we are down in contestants this month..we had seemed to average like 500 points but last I checked it was at 300

**yisman** · 07-08-11, 12:13 PM

hopefully i can catch up with Dublin, roughly -160. i'm guessing you've got chile, then hitting up peru. jeter prop is tempting too

**lordswing** · 07-08-11, 02:32 PM

hooray for favs

**yisman** · 07-08-11, 03:12 PM

swing, Jeter prop has gotta be the one, but I'm conflicted with that and soccer.

**lordswing** · 07-08-11, 03:31 PM

i'd personally go with the 2 soccer picks, but i haven't win in a while either. i have no idea how you avoid decent favorites that crash and burn in the first 30 minutes, but i am quite jealous of that skill
