For anyone looking to be humbled on the subject of college football I would encourage you to stumble upon the site “Pre-Snap Read“ It is beyond impressively run by Paul Myerberg who it seems is a college football guru for the New York Times. I am still uncertain how much of his material is subscribed [...]
And #200 is about…soccer, a game that has been slowly sucking me in over the last couple years. Over/under Premier League point totals are as follows. I will point out when a line is heavily weighted. Man U : 81.5 Chelsea : 77.5 (over -130) Man City : 74.5 (over -130) Arsenal : 68.5 (over [...]
When Lou signed on to be my bookie a few months ago, this was probably the crap he was envisioning. I think since the inception of this ‘Baseball Bets’ business I have had one winning day. Normally I make 3 or 4 picks and get 2 or 3 wrong. Good thing no actual money has [...]
Asked the question in my last post why pinnacle takes so long to put reverse run lines up on its MLB betting page. It is round about 8AM EST and you could theoretically put down a bet as to who will strike out more guys in the first inning, D Lowe (+113) or Ricky Nolasco [...]
I’m looking to point out that pinnacle only has run lines up for favorites on their primary MLB Bet page. This was a little trippy fact for me to clue-in on as it highlights how sneaky odds can be. If you were making a list of People with Exceptional Observational Skills, I would not be [...]
This series of articles is growing decidedly boring. Something like this is really interesting if the picks end up being 90% right or 95% wrong, all I’m doing is slowly pissing away fake money. Dullllllllllll. I’ll try to get more imaginative or scrap this idea, but until then. 22 Units on Red Sox -118 17 [...]
Net of -6.33 last entry. Slowly but surely losing money to The House, just the way God intends it. Let’s go with… 20 Units on Mariners -120 16 Units on Mets +161 14 Units on A’s +137 Net of 986.91. All games must be completed, if the Rapture happens all bets are off.
Won with the Sox on the 16 Unit bet but lost on the other two for a net of -18.44 Units. Let’s see what is happening tonight… 18 Units on D-Backs/Padres under 9.5 -112 14 Units on Brewers/Dodgers under 7 -120 All for now, may try to sneak in a few more before first pitches… [...]
Realized a while back that the Tag Line on this site is “Winning at Sports.” Sheen owes us some royalties. On 11/27/09 (older entries), VT had recommended we change the name of the site to “Losing at Sports” during a cold streak for Louis. I can’t believe we missed the obvious that we could have [...]
Coming up on a quarter way through the baseball season. Starting off with 1,000 units. I can make any baseball bet I come across on pinnacle; run line, over/under, prop…whatever. Let’s see what happens. Today we will do… 16 units San Fran -137 money line
