Is there a site out there where I can search by team and see their results against the spread and over/under over a period of time?

i wanna say Statfox might be a good site but I don't know how far back they go.

Quickly because I'm short on time today.Dodgers/Pirates is Vicente Padilla vs. Zach Duke - 2 of MLBs worst starting pitchers. Even the with the Pirates offense involved, I like the over.Here's my baseball plays for Opening Day and I'll post a little analysis on each tomorrow:2 Unitsodgers/Pirates OVER 8.5 Runs1 Unit:Cardinals ML -145Giants ML -125

I feel the same way about the Skins. McNabb will not be helping them.

As long as Luke Donald sucks as much as I think he does, we should be good.Though i think my strongest plays are the one's fading Paul Casey.modogg said:

Unfortunately sportsbook does not carry any bets with Casey. I would give it a shot since i just realized i had a $40 parlay in with Butler +7 and the under 129
And RN, yes Pujols is looking well. I got him a little bit ago at +700 to get the most Homeruns in the season. It seemed like a strange line to have Pujols at, and I have to guess that other hit that line pretty well. I think i put $30 on it or something, but it will be nice if it comes home and hits.

And Mr. Bender I know you are a fan of betting MMA. Still pissed a bit about the Jardine debacle, but I got a good chunk on:Mark Munoz -135 and -150John Bender said:So happy baseball is backJohn Bender said:I suck at everything else. Finally time to make some money again.
for this weekend. The line has moved quite a bit, and I think it is around -175, but it is still a good bet. I am confident he wins this one. The other big future MMA bet I have out there is:
Matt Mitrione +160, +135
I know that line has moved too, and is getting closer to what the line should be, but Mitrione should be the favorite over Kimbo Slice. I think we have discussed this pretty good in the MMA wagering thread, but these 2 should hopefully hit well.

Why are you fading Paul Casey? I'm really just curious, I happen to like Casey but i'm not betting the Masters

Ya man, I think Jardine is done - I guess we just didn't get the memo until we bet on him. He is definitely done now...I'm actually looking forward to that Mitrione/Kimbo fight but I do agree I would bet on Matt for this one. That's too good of value to pass up. Who has Kimbo been training with? greg Jackson?And Mr. Bender I know you are a fan of betting MMA.

I'm probably going to parlay Mitrione with Koscheck at -270

Last I saw, Kimbo had been training with American Top Team.I'm leery of touching Koschek at this number. Last time he was this big of a favorite, he forgot he was a wrestler and Paulo Thiago buried him. He now faces Paul Daley who has about 10x the power of most welterweights, and just fared pretty well against another skilled grappler in Dustin Hazlett. IF I knew Koschek was going to utilize his wrestling and not try to make this a standup battle like he's had the tendency to do lately, I'd certainly look to add him into a parlay or two, but given Koschek's questionable in-ring judgement, I'm afraid to lay the big number on him again. He does, in fairness seem to have mentally turned the corner, and if he's as hellbent as he seems on getting another crack at GSP, he'll make sure he fights his fight and beats Daley to set up the rematch.Ya man, I think Jardine is done - I guess we just didn't get the memo until we bet on him.

Wow. I was thinking of taking the Orioles at +145 earlier. I'm definitely tailing now.

Question for those with a sportsbetting acct, have they cut live wagering limits? I tried to bet there during last nights game and max bet was $50? My acct has all sorts of limitations so not sure if it was just me or that was the limit for everyone. My buddy has no limits on his acct and he also had $50 limits. Just wondering if anyone else has any input on this.
SouthJersey
Footballguy
Heard he's hurt and hasn't been able to practice.I don't like my Kuchar bet anymore. Him and Choi are paired with Tiger for the 1st 2 rounds.
During the NCAA tournament, it was $50 on half lines, and $150 on games. Until they cut me to $5 during 2nd round games.I've also noticed they have really trimmed their limits on all props. Last football season everything was $500 max, now most props are $50 or $100 (and golf props are $25). I'm getting my money out of there.
lumpy19
Footballguy
Thanks. I'm not sure how they make money but they are very quick with the limits now. Baseball props have $100 max bet on -125/-125 lines. Doubt I'm going to play anything there this baseball season. I already got most of my money out of there, just hate to see such a good thing end
They were my personal cash machine last baseball season with their props and team totals.

hmm, forgot all about that sting from losing a game in the btm. of the 9th with a blown save. That defeatying feeling hasn't lessened since last year's baseball season. Should have been a win for all, but oh well, on to the next one's. Good luck boys. I have 2 for tomorrow: parlay: Phils/SF: I think both Matt Cain and Hamels should pitch pretty lights out, should be good to go against 2 lowly teams.

Good night for us Durant scoring title backers. LBJ was supposed to sit, instead he scores 19 and Durant scores 45. They've flip flopped over night
Durant 29.9
LBJ 29.7
Cavs have clinched everything and have 4 games left and OKC is in a fight for western conference seeding with 5 games left. I think LBJ is going to get a night off in one of those 4 games and probably play limited minutes in the other games. I'm not even sure why he played 36 min last night.

Indeed a great night for us Durant guys. Prior to last nights game the word was that Lebron would sit at least 2 of the final 5 games to rest his sore elbow and other ailments. He played 36 minutes last night, which is pretty close to a "full" game for him, but the 13 shot attempts and 13 asst show that his intentions are not to win the scoring title. As long as KD finishes the final handful of games around his average in each and Lebron truly doesn't care about winning the scoring title,lumpy19 said:

I'm on the under on this one. Colorado is has Giambi, Mora, Olivo, and Spilboroughs penciled in today all as starters. Cook has a 2.something ERA lifetime against the Brew Crew.

Travelling today so I can't get too deep into the splits. I did know they planned on having Olivo start, I thought this may be a smoke show. Should be a great game either way. Good luck my friend!

Ah...jinxed me
No runs in the last few innings.
The only reason I tend to stay away from unders during the first few weeks of the season is that, speaking from experience of being a pitcher for a very long time, it takes a lot longer for a pitcher to get worked into their full stretch at this point in the game, so you see a lot of relievers in the game a lot earlier than we will in June and beyond. I actually thought the Brewers bullpen was pretty terrible in front of Hoffman and they surprised me today for sure. Oh well, I guess a push is fine.
Hopefully we link up tomorrow on the same game or two. Good luck...feel free to post your other plays to discuss if you're still around after that UConn women debable - man that first half was ugly.

For the record, I'm going to be all over Nolasco all season I think.
One of my favorite pitchers and after looking at the FIP and BABIP from last year, it indicates he really is a much better pitcher than his totals from last season. I know at one point he had a 22:00 K:BB ratio in the spring. My bold prediction is that he will be a top 5 starter in the NL this year and will leap over Josh Johnson. He has some nasty stuff, and is fun to watch.

I grabbed the Phils -165 last night and the Phils -1.5 -130 today just before the game started. I think Cole will hold the Nats down well, he is very motivated and his arm is a lot fresher then it was all of last year. Add Lidge still on the DL, and we have a win

Hopefully I should be around, ended up yesterday not down by much after all the plays came in. Thats what I get for betting women's basketball. Only girls game all year I played and it was my largest pro/college play of the season.

Kind of laughable that a lot of the handicapping write-ups I read today were accrediting Maine as being the better pitcher.

My only goal this baseball season is to get the best line on the games i play. i felt that the line on this game just got a little out of control so i jumped on the nats at 180. i know philly is the far superior team. also leaning on the fact that this early in the season the starting pitchers are on a tight leash(why i played baltimore again tonight)baseball is such a long grind....3 days in and i'm already struggling to keep up...sides, totals, team totals, 1st five, propsI grabbed the Phils -165 last night and the Phils -1.5 -130 today just before the game started.
