FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (3 Viewers)

I love the Pirates +12_ tomorrow through 5 IP. Taking a starter with a K/BB of almost 4 against a starter who walks more than he k's, as an underdog, at that point I don't care who's in whose lineup. I also think STL's pen is underrated, and PIT's is overrated, hence 5 IP.

Also, righty-destroyer Matt Adams is on the DL.

 
What do you guys think about the Lakers/SA game? Blake, Meeks, Kobe(obv) and Nash all hurting. At home getting 6, which in the playoffs is REALLY hard not to play a home dog at +5 or better....but I think IF I play this pre-tip, i'd lean SA. 95-89 projected score? Can LA score 90? May play the under here, too. Not sure on this game at all yet.
SA/Under sounds like a good drunk parlay.
I'm drunk and enjoy parlays! Taking SA and under 184.
I failed to do this. Now I'm just rooting for Metta Artest to score.

The Pirate bullpen is actually pretty good. I'm not saying anything about your bet the pen is not overrated.

PIt Pen is really nice.

Watson, Melancon, and Grilli have all been absolutely lights out.

Let me rephrase: If the Pirates are trailing going to the bullpens, and we don't see Grilli/Melancon, the likes of Mazzaro/Wilson/Hughes aren't going to keep up with Mujica/Rosenthal. Hence the 5 IP.

 
this ##### is going way over
There is a big middle there for the taking...... I think I might be greedy and try it.. Nah. Take what ought to be the easy winner and let it ride...
I went the opposite direction and loaded up on all sorts of overs in the 2nd half,. Did quarters, Denver total points, and the 2nd half over. Got worried when they slowed the pace as much as they did, really would love to see them keep the fast break offense and the 3 pointers coming :scared:

Few plays in the early games today for me:

Nats/Reds over 8 -110

Yanks/Jays under 8 -115

I'm also leaning playing the Twins if I can get them at +140 or better, just waiting on it.

 
Today's card. Trying to keep the momentum going:

Phi/nym o8 -110

Cin-103

Mil/lad o 7.5-115

Tor/nyy u 8-120

Bal/oak o 8-105

Tb -112

Parlay of atl/kc/arz/sea pays 7.5 to 1

GLTA

Ab

 
So after last night I have 1 leg left on an 18:1 payout parlay. It's Indy +2.5. I personally think this should hit BUT not interested in wagering 18 units on it. Any intelligence in buying .5 and playing ATL -2? Is there another way to hedge (say playing ATL to win at -135) and hoping for a middle? I only ask as I assume there have been thesis papers written on the subject and if there has-one of you degen's has a copy.

ETA: line now -2 ATL so I wouldn't have to buy the .5 if I moved now.

^^^ You like Indy, otherwise you wouldn't have played them in the first place. Maybe just hedge enough to ensure you get the risk amount back?

 
So just play 1.2 units or whatever and hope for a 15 unit win? The line is moving to my benefit (or has .5 point so far)....maybe i'll wait until just before tip to see if I can get a full point middle.

Just because I like Indy doesn't mean I know what i'm doing. I'm just big on Indy, have been all year.

 
I think cc rights the ship. Nothing more than a "feel" play. Not every nyy game can go over. :shrug:

I should add that after cc got off to a rough start last time out he settled in pretty well. I remember watching most of his last start.

There's almost no chance the Broncos take a QB this year, not so much because of Peyton Manning, but moreso because Brock Osweiler is an excellent prospect with a bright future as Manning's eventual replacement.

Yesterday's ML/RL baseball plays went 1-2, and unfortunately, the winning play was the Red Sox, which generated the least profit.

Backing the Red Sox again today, -260/-130, as well as the Cardinals -189/+100...
2-0 yesterday on ML/RL baseball plays! 4-2 so far. Playing for peanuts: +29, -61, +43 so far this week.

Scrounging for action today, so I'm going to take a shot at anything over -150 ML. Probably going to get creamed.

Mariners, Diamondbacks, Royals, Red Sox, Yankees.

 
It's official (supposedly), Westbrook is out for the playoffs.

As far as tonight-I still see this as high scoring. Houston has to shoot better than when in OKC, the line is 205 1/2 ish right now. PK is the spread.

 
So just play 1.2 units or whatever and hope for a 15 unit win?
Yeah, whatever you risked. All gravy after that. JMO though.
I ended up playing where i'll either win approx 33% vs 67% A) Cause i'm a big coooooch and didn't want to risk that much on Indy and B) i've been rocking the live betting in these playoffs so i'll likely end up with the extra 6 units in play on the game regardless. Still got an edge and a rooting interest, just not so heavily invested and a guaranteed cash either way.
