Repeating something over and over again does not make it true.

[pat venditto]

if the -185 play is a winner everytime is it valueable? i think sooooooo.

[pat venditto]

[Cannon]

Must be a winner if it a horrible bet

Then again, you don't even seem to know how many runs were scored after a game has concluded. Your mind may not be our most infallible resource.

[topcat]

Yes, absolutely.

[donjuan]

Of course. This is a silly question.

thanks man,ive looked at this site for a while.i decided to post tonight.ive noticed this site had the best pickers around.you,mofo,and five star bomb are damn good,and i hope you guys can teach me a thing or to

No way. Bases is about betting dogs. If there is a favourite that high and I was confident enough, I would be betting it on the RL.

Generally yes, but to say never is silly. When you see a line like +300 does that mean you should auto-bet it?

The best team in baseball will only win about 62% of the time and the worst team will still win about 38%.

The best teams win 62% of the time against the league as a whole, i.e. against an average team. That certainly does not mean they have no better than a 62% chance to win against each individual team, especially the really bad ones.

years ago the -180's were automatic, nowadays -220's are a flip of a coin, anyone can win any night now in bases.

Braves or Phillies over the Mutts after the allstar break is money at any price.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. Do not know how I have posted winners for 2 years now with such lousy judgement.

Last year I had a poster say the only way I was winning was because I always picked the easy games

I was picking teams that were -120 to -140 every night and that was too easy.

The argument about a good team only wins 62% of their games every night is a moot point. We are not talking about laying -185 every game but in select games.

Anyone who only bets dogs every night is limiting themselves. Hard to find a winner last night I see. You have to be selective whether it is favorite or dog.

If Arizona loses today so be it. I would not take Zito at any price till he shows me he can win, which has been a long time.

Is that not the craziest thing you ever heard anyone say.
Never knew there was such a thing

[pokernut9999]

Almost as as crazy as my sig.

I apoligize , you were right. I just got him at -164.

[mofome]

now thats a much more intriguing wager.

[Crayzee]

i will only parlay the big favorites
if i only like one for instance

i'll still bet 1 unit to win whatever-
.3 to .6

and if it wins then i'll place that total on the next days big favorite(s)

If it's "guaranteed winner" at -185 and you have $10,000, you will win $5405. If it was +100 you'd win $10,000. There's your 'juice.'

There is no juice for winners if you are using win amount as your base unit. Some people use potential win amount as the base unit.

You bet 185 to win 100. If 100 is always the unit you use as the potential win amount, then you are not paying juice if it wins.
