Baseball Wagering (2 Viewers)

[Angry Beavers]

don't want to place wagers from work but will call in the GRAND SALAMI for two units on the way home!;

I like the logic on the over in Tex/Tor but isn't this Armas's first start back from the DL? - That is making me leary of wash in this spot

also put me down for one unit wagers on the following overs:

wash/florida o 9.5

col/pitt O 9.5

tex/tor O 9.5

[General Malaise]

Braves +123

Angels +112

Toronto -119

2 units each. Heavy night for me, all concentrated.

I like a bunch of overs tonight - and looking at the Sagarin ratings for some of these starters how could you not?

Wash @ florida ( #62 @ # 95)

Colorado @ Pitt ( # 81 @ # 94)

Atl @ Stl ( # 69 @ # 106)

LAD @ Arz ( #38 @ # 64)

Philly @ SD ( # 77 @ # 48)

Oakland @ balt ( NR @ #92)

I may just have to play the Grand Salami ovah as well

also looking @ Wash + 108 and Seat + 159 - the first is a dog system and the second because I think the Yanks could be headed for a letdown after sweeping the ChiSox.

Will post plays later

My total on Saturday blew chunks - over 9.5 - got a total of 18 hits, a few walk, 2 hit batsmen and still only 5 runs

Nice Work GM!!!

Even with the Grand Salami winner of 2 units still made just one unit on the night, but I'll take it as the Deli Meat looked pretty dead in the water early on.

i am on COL -117 for one unit; Col has lost 8 in a row - I know about not betting against a streak but comeon' Col is very due and has an undervalued pitching matchup IMHO. Col has lost their last three in the 9th, 8th and 8th respectively after being tied or having the lead

GM - I was looking at the cincy/nhm over - will join you for a unit

DURING THIS PERIOD NO FINANCIAL OR WAGERING TRANSACTIONS CAN BE EXECUTED. FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED ONCE THE COMPANY IS IN A POSITION TO DO SO.

This was the #### waiting for me when I went to make one last parlay before 7:00 pm EST - both of my plays have been cancelled - my book is a subsidiary of BETONSPorts and a little legal trouble they are in - no wagering for 48 hours at which point i was told I may be able to get my $ out or keep playing. Good thing I had less than a K in there so I am worried about getting my funds, but not panicked. I guess it is time to fund the pinny acct. Any advice from my fellow handicappers here?

Bodog is still up and running. Made a bet just before 6:00 p.m. CST.

 

[guru_007]

Things I like/played tonight:

Houston (Oswalt) -154

Cubs are done, and I get a huge pitching advantage here. Not sure the Astros offense is that great but against Marmalade, I'll take my chances. Also took the RL +116

LAD (Billingsley) +114.

Okay, this guy's burned me before a few times, but I still think the Dodgers are the better team. May be a barn burner, but I'm going with the team I like to score more runs.

Min (Liriano) -185

Okay, okay, heavy chalk, but barring one outing Liriano has been at home. And while I don't like fading Kazmir, well, the Rays can't win if they don't score. Again, I also played the RL here as I think it will be close, but hopefully the Twins can put a few up late to put this one away.

Atlanta (Hudson) +119

Can't believe I'm getting vig here with a red-hot Atlanta team. Marquis is not exactly lights out, so I'll take what I can get here. Atlanta's bullpen is rested, offense is hot, and Huddy is a quality starter, I like it enough to play it.

Last play.....hitting this small now....may go back for more:

LAA/Cleveland o9.5 -104

I think this line is wrong. Lee is a decent starting pitcher, but face it, his ERA is closer to 5 than 4 right now. Plus, the Angels are starting to heat up a bit. I think they are only a game out now and they know changes may be on their way so guys need to perform. Saunders this is his first game out this year. He may be a decent prospect, but so is Cole Hammels and he is not exactly lights out right now. Couple that with a more than capable Tribe offense....I'm hitting this again right now.

g'luck

betonsports's CEO got arrested in Dallas just days after the anti-gambling legislation passed the house - the two are unrelated but still causing me a major pain in the @@@.

Don't you want to just play the ML if you think it will be close? Isn't this contradicting?

Braves getting +215 tonight on WWTS. With their bats going the way they are, I don't care if it's a n00b starting - I parlayed them with the O9 for 2 units to win 9.6 units.

From ESPN: "Carpenter is just 1-1 with a 7.23 ERA in four career starts against Atlanta."

I'm far from guaranteeing anything, but the kid starting for Atlanta tonight had a 2.13 ERA in AAA ball, and the Braves have traditionally hit Carpenter pretty well. The way the offense is swinging it right now, I think +215 is tremendous value.

 

[guru_007]

Small afternoon play:

Parlay Boston -1.5/Yankees -1.5/Fla/Was over 9.5

Boston and NY are both superior teams with starting pitchers that can throw me shut outs. I'll lay the runs here with both of them and not worry too much.

Washington and Florida is simply two bad starting pitchers going. Tight game last night got into each of their bullpens, and I'll take my chances scoring runs with two starting pitchers that don't even strike out 1/2 guy per IP and WHIP's each at about 1.5 per pitcher. Guys are going to be on base a lot here. Whether they get clutch hits is out of my control.

g'luck

 

[guru_007]

Added a little prop bet:

R. Johnson to strike out over 5.5 (+134) Big unit is not as dominating as in years past, but with Beltre and Sexson in the lineup, that should be 4 K's right there. 2 more is not out of the question.

I'm in here. Atlanta has been very good to me the last few days. Took them SU for a unit and tailed your parlay for half a unit.Also, I'm on the Angels pretty heavy today. Both SU and RL.

puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuThis is not looking good. Fortunately RJ was able to strike out enough Mariner's to make this all a wash, actually up a few cents when all is said and done.

Gonna play again in the afternoon games. Give me the following:

LAA (Lackey) -1.5/Milwaukee (Davis)

Here, I'm simply playing the better starting pitchers and hoping they prevail. Lackey has been pretty sharp (understatement) his past three starts, and I think he should carry me deep into the game. LAA's bullpen is pretty solid too, so if they get a lead early, not too concerned with them giving some runs back. Milwaukee is always a risky proposition, as they have the propensity to go dead cold offensively. However, I think Davis is solid enough, and hopefully Carlos Lee can remember that he is a free agent after this season, and Weeks and Fielder can show that they are young studs who plan to stay for awhile and we can win one here for the guru.

Look at the 2 pitchers last few starts, neither has been lights out lately. Only thing that concerns me is it being a day game, sometimes that screws up the hitters. I am just betting my regular unit as always.

So I threw one unit in my account today ( - haven't placed a wager in awhile) looking to play Glavine at +110. Well it dropped to -105 by gametime but I still wanted to play it. Off the board...whatever, I'll find something else. So I stumble across Hoard's play of o8 in the Minny game. Ok, I find the Minny ML and BoSox ML and pair those with the over. 1 unit pays 3! Nice. I try to place the bet, no go Try it again, no go This was at least 10 mins. before Noon, game started at 12:05. Now I'm stuck here with 1 winning play and 1 that is looking good and nothing to show for it. Still have no idea why they didn't accept my parlay.

Which leads me to my next question, what looks good tonight? Looking at Halladay, he looks to consistently own the Yanks. 7-1 lifetime I believe. Not bad. Might look at playing Halladay at a low price, although he is facing Moose.

What do you guys have tonight?

if the rumored nyy/philly trade is true jump on Halladay as NYY will be even more short staffed than usual; as for me, i am laying off of everything at least until tomorrow when I am hoping to get my $ out of v-wager which is apparently controlled by BOS which means I am frozen - of course there is always the possibility I will just fund my pinny acct when I get home with a couple of units and see what happensGL

 

[Green94]

Which trade are you speaking of AB?

Which trade are you speaking of AB?

i read one on here that was uncomfirmed - involving A-ROD! - the thread is now gone and i see nothing anywhere else about the trade so obviously it was Bull - nevermind then!

 

[Angry Beavers]

Green: Nothing stands out to me tonight in my quick glance - i kind of like LAD +155 as Webb tends to not be as strong in the 2nd half and would consider parlaying it with LAA who ought to be handle KC tonight, but nothing out there that jumps out at me for tonight.

G'Luck

Green,I have found in the past some of my books will not let you parlay a game bet and an over/under bet on the same game.

I think it has to do with correlated bets. For example; If Minn wins the game is likely to go over so they dont want you parlaying the two. It ends up being more likely to hit. I remember reading something about that.

I've heard of that as well, but usually they will tell you whether or not that is the case. They didn't today. They will usually highlight said game and say that you can't parlay it. Oh well, lost out on a chunk of change today, would have been a nice way to jump back in. Didn't play the Jays. Might look for a later game or sit out the rest of the day altogether.

 

[guru_007]

I like SD and LAD tonight, but haven't played either. I played a RL parlay of Fla/LAA, as I like betting against the two worst teams in the majors. Will do a little research and see if anything else warrants a play. I've been cold the past few days, but I feel myself ready to heat up!
