Joined a few of the props. I actually bet against my whitesox today and against your tigers, even though both teams are smoking hot right now. The white sox called that kid up from triple A to replace peavy and his numbers look really good, for triple A. Grienke has pitched pretty well against us the last 2 yrs. I like pavano to right the ship for the twinkies, who have been running bad lately.

I don't pretend to know anything about soccer. I bet the netherlands +140 to win (90 minutes, extra time, penalty kicks). I also bet both teams to score @ +115.

Greinke scratched, Lerew in.

I don't know anything about soccer, either. I do have "a guy," though. After a dreadful first week, he's been doing very well - up 3 units overall for the WC. He is/I am on Spain -1/2 +115. And yeah, betting these games make them WAY more fun to watch.

Sorry bout this one fellas. The value was there. If they ran the same 18 guys out there and the line was the same I'd still like it.

that line is much better than the $500 SB has, but i'll join you with this one.

I wouldn't play it at +500, that's a horrific line. The only reason I played it is because +1000 is ridiculous. +800 that most of the books are offering seems like the proper line5dimes now has it at +1025 so i played a little more there

Yeah I know, i haven't lost money at sportsbook in 2 days (stupid DREAM card
), so i figured i would throw them a $18 bone tonight. Not the smartest bet, but for some reason i was itching to bet on something. and does 5dimes have NFL props. There MMA lines are pretty good, and they have MMA props too so i was thinking of getting some money over there, but the last time i checked i didn't think they had any NFL props, please tell me this is different

yes they have nfl props and they're much more tolerant of people actually betting their lines. The cut still comes but it's not nearly as fast as sportsbook.com currently is.Yeah I know, i haven't lost money at sportsbook in 2 days (stupid DREAM card), so i figured i would throw them a $18 bone tonight.

Anyone who has been around these gambling threads any amount of time knows I NEVER bet against my Yankees.That was a reverse-psychology thing to jump start Burnett, who I absolutely hate and who has been absolutely awful.Hope I didn't seriously cost you money there. I'll provide a disclaimer next time.Haha, just clowning around, GB. Hope you played Hart and that he wins for you.

No, no - I am not a newbie and know you don't bet against the Yankees. I was on the Yanks and was glad to see you cranking on Burnett (even if it was reverse psychology).Also, I hope that punk turns it around and helps my fantasy team a little in the second half cAnyone who has been around these gambling threads any amount of time knows I NEVER bet against my Yankees.That was a reverse-psychology thing to jump start Burnett, who I absolutely hate and who has been absolutely awful.Hope I didn't seriously cost you money there.

Not over yet. I'd take +1000 right now.

the final round line was o/u 6, players are typically exhausted in the finals, papi at 10 alreadyreally hope i'm wrong

Obviously Papli is a favorite from here. But I do think Hanley catches him more than 1 out of 11 times. Either way, it was a great bet.

11 out of the last 14 HR Derby winners have been lefties.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Run_Derby
Tino Martinez, Griffey (2), Luis Gonzalez, Giambi, Anderson, Abreu, Howard, Morneau, Fielder, Ortiz.
Any theories on why this is, other than the "sweet, effortless" swings southpaws seem to have?

Seriously... how do you not unload on the under 8½ tonight?! Take a look at the pitching staffs. SICK.

I am going to take them straight up +105 i think...Already punched Over 27.5 Hits, Runs, and Errors at +EV just for the fun of rooting for it.Also took Ryan Braun OVER Ichiro total bases at +125. Ichiro is almost assured of 2 AB's and Ryan Braun isnt....but Ryan Braun has "one swing of the bat" capability and Ichiro does not (Read:He should hit a HR tonight)

Awesome thread at Covers (LOOK AWAY GOO ROO!!!) 
Thread title: "THIS PROP IS TOO EASY"
If you're scoring at home, he went 1-6-1 against Molina AND lost the prop on the catchers he threw in.

The God-awful Yadier Molina, of course, singled in his first at-bat.

Nothing will be gained financially by reading anything at Covers...however it can make you smile.
Yesterday was the first day in over a year that I didn't make a bet, I didn't break out in sweats or get agitated easily....I played it cool.
Then today I place 3 bets on brazilian soccer teams I've never even heard of before and it felt SOOOOOOO good

Only 3 plays for me tonight
Boston (-111) - I'll likely be fading Texas as much as possible, they aren't who I thought they were
STL TT u3.5(-105)
LAD +111 - I think Carpenter is hurt, his last 2 starts haven't been Carpenter starts, something isn't right and its about time for his yearly DL stint

Wow, what a night. On a hunch, I put $100 on Bengie Molina to hit for the cycle at +940,000.

What would the true odds be of Bengie Molina getting back-to-back cycles?
(He has six triples in 4,668 career at-bats.)

How close were you onDunn U1.5 H -190Hudson O5.5 K+BB -115Loney U2.5 H+R+RBI -170I had McGehee and Richard also...just trying to see where I might be going wrong on some of these...thanks Roo
TheGooRoo

Didn't get home from work until after 5 so I didn't know what Loney's prop was. u 2.5 against Wainwright sounds great to me. Had Hudson for exactly 6, and I thought I remembered Dunn being 2.5 h, r, rbi, not 1.5 h? I try to stay away from the 2.5's against dangerous hitters like Dunn, Cabrera, Pujols, Howard, etc, even against top flight pitchers, it just takes 1 swing and bullpens often come into play as well. Cliff Lee was a pretty lucky W but look at his pitch counts all season...how was that line 102.5? Vernon Wells doesn't K a whole lot and had 1 k in 26 AB against Guthrie, that was worth a swipe at +140 imo. Great job on those 3 wins!!!
