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

[Good Posting Judge]

The problem with fading Hamilton is that a) he's still going to put up insane steal numbers even if he can't hit (see his 2013 AAA stats), and b) Cincy doesn't really have anyone to step in for him and take his starting job away.

With his speed, he has the potential to be an awesome CF. That alone might keep him in the lineup.

 

[nittanylion]

Ohio Valley: SE Miss. St. ML - -215, Tenn. Tech ML - -315

Northeast: St. Francis NY +3.5 @ Mt. St. Mary's - pains me to pick against the Mount right up the road, but I'm finally liking a play where I'm taking points!

Non-Tournament: St. Joe's +4 @ GW

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I like these 4 SOG plays the best today:

NYR O33.5 (-120)

CGY O27.5 (-120)

OTT U31.5 (-120)

PHI O30.5 (-120)

like this one a little:

MTL U28.5 (-120)

it's a small card, but Rangers and Flames probably the stronger of the four.

not as crazy about anything after the lines have moved but I might still play these for a little:

NYR O34.5 (-135)

CGY O28.5 (-140)

PHI O31.5 (-135)

OTT U30.5 (-135)

MTL U28.0 (-130)

Wake + 12.5. Unc on deck. Think duke could be flat.

I'm struggling with this one. Like most, I fully expect Hamilton to struggle with the bat. I expect him to be sent down to AAA for seasoning, possibly as early as April/May. That being said, he's a guy that I think could easily steal 60 bases in 100-110 games. The fact that he stole 13 bases in 13 games (19 plate appearances, 7 base hits) is nuts, I can't even comprehend that. Over or pass IMO.

If you tally up his his singles and walks, and then compare it against the number of steal attempts he has, at any level, it's truly amazing. Also take into account that he has people in front of him on the basepaths sometimes, presumably.

He could approach Rickey levels of steals per steal opps. Nowhere near the caliber of hitter, at least not for awhile, but he's insane on the basepaths.

Speaking of which, how much are we bidding on him in auctions?

I'm not a huge advanced stat nerd, but is there a Base Stealing Opportunity type of stat that's tracked anywhere?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Also strongly considering a max bet on the u210.5 hits...is there someone I'm missing that I should be worried about? Aside from Ichiro Prime it doesn't seem like many players break that mark too often

Damn, St. Louis is out of Tampa. Looks like our boy Stamkos is coming back. Again, pucksdouche here....but will St Louis being gone impact Stamkos and his opportunity to catch Malkin? Is it currently really 14-18?

Doesn't help but Malkin can easily be caught if Stamkos stays healthy.

So how exactly does one go about finding a local who takes SB props? An ad in the Yellow Pages? I've had no luck. I'd settle for a guy anywhere in New England, NY or NJ. Shoot me a PM if you can help a fella out.

Good luck. Even if you do find one he's not exactly going to be excited when you demolish him on props. You're better off getting a new sportsbook.ag account under a friend/relatives name, rinse, repeat

yeah locals dont offer anywhere close to the amount of props that the online books, and if they do they are very careful with them

Actually that's not what I'm saying. I've found locals that offer the props but they are considerably less tolerant than an online sportsbook. In addition I've NEVER been stiffed by an online book, even ones that have cut me off. I've been stiffed by several "locals".

I have a pretty unique situation. I have a small network of gentlemen from the New York area that feed me more local accounts than I can handle. I have multiple SB, 5D, and Bovada local sites. These gentlemen have been happy to give me over 55k since January 1, and have not cut any of my accounts, they've actually added. The majority of limits are 500, one book is 1k. Although if I start losing or decide to retire I may disappear.

like this one a little:

MTL U28.5 (-120)

it's a small card, but Rangers and Flames probably the stronger of the four.

Nice job. For the entire 3rd period, it looked as though Calgary's over had no shot and Ottawa's under had no shot. But a late Sens penalty sealed both bets. The Philly over was a heartbreaker. Missed by 0.5. Got a big lead and stopped skating in the 3rd.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

line moves made a big difference today.

NYR O33.5 (-120) - covered by .5 at end of regulation but added 3 more in OT

CGY O27.5 (-120) - covered by .5
OTT U31.5 (-120) - covered by .5
PHI O30.5 (-120) - lost by .5

MTL U28.5 (-120) - covered by .5 in regulation but lost in OT

3-2 here

obviously when things are that close, line moves are big.

NYR O34.5 (-135) - WIN

CGY O28.5 (-140) - LOSS by .5

PHI O31.5 (-135) - LOSS by 1.5

OTT U30.5 (-135) - LOSS by .5

MTL U28.0 (-130) - push in regulation, lost in OT

1-4 here

hopefully people got in early today.

:disgruntled Spartan alum warning:

Lots of talk this week on the Spartans locally after the lost back to back home games vs Nebraska and Illini and looking pitiful in doing so.

Player's only meeting

Since on Spring Break Izzo making them practice twice a day this week.

Media/fans getting pissed at Izzo and how he is handling team, questioning why Appling is playing when he can't shoot.

Harris getting mad and saying they are still a good team who will make a run



When stuff like this normally happens Izzo goes on some magical run, but I don't know this year. You don't get blown out at home vs Illini if you are a good team.

There has been so much coach speak this week that somehow it seems too much. Spartans are either done completely and lose outright to Iowa, or they win in a route tonight on senior night.



Big article on how Appling is "back" and has confidence again. http://www.freep.com/article/20140306/COL38/303060024/keith-appling-michigan-state-basketball-iowa



I'll believe it when I see it.

MSU has won 17 straight at breslin vs Iowa, and 5 in row overall

very well could be, and like I said this is when izzo loves to prove his doubters wrong. If this wasn't "my" team i would think bounce back in this game too. But I have seen nothing the last 10 games that shows me the Spartans are a good team. Teams haven't even needed to defend Appling the last few weeks yet Izzo continues to play him 25-30 minutes a game. Two weeks ago he said his wrist was fine too, and he has done nothing since then besides slap the floor after MSU goes on a 4-0 run. He can't even make FT's

DePaul 100/103

Database had me turnt up on this one with Butler's move from the A10. The database still lists them in the A10. These teams don't have much history aside from DePaul winning 99-94 in overtime at Butler on Jan 9 as 9-point underdogs. Sagarin made this a pk. This was my original angle:

Big East versus A10 this season:

SU: 26-5 (10.90, 83.9%)

ATS: 22-8-1 (5.89, 73.3%) avg line: -5.0

Last night I thought the Spurs line was sure to move closer to even money. Consensus #s say the 60/40 majority is firmly on the Heat. I might drop a grip if I can get even money on the Spurs during live betting, real talk. Line got me turnt up.

LeBron for MVP might catch some value tonight.

 

[ChainsawU]

The Spurs are 4-9 SU and 6-7 ATS (avg line 3.2) versus the Heat since the LeBron trade (3-2 SU and ATS at home against an average line of -1.7). The Spurs are 2-1 SU and ATS as the home favorite versus the Heat since the LeBron trade. The average margin of victory in the games where the Spurs were favored at home was 33 points ±3.

This is a sandwich game for the Spurs. They just won on the road versus the Cavaliers and they get the Magic at home on Saturday. Spurs have a day of rest after tonight before the Magic come to town and then two more days of rest before going to Chicago.
