Got absolutely hammered on this stuff. I just went to write Over/Unders in the Subject Header and I hit the shift button making it Over?Unders which pretty much sums up my year. Couple notes on my picks. Would have hit Boston over easy if not for the beyond epic collapse in September. Obviously all the [...]
-300 on Jeter’s 3000th hit being a single at Bookmaker. Jeter’s extra base hit percentage since 2009 is 22%.
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 [...]
A reverse (better known as alternate) run line is a bet that the listed underdog will or will not win the game by more than one run. For example, tonight’s Pirates/Braves line is as follows: Braves (Jurrjens) -120 Pirates (Morton) +113 The Run Line (or handicap or spread) is: Braves -1.5 +146 Pirates +1.5 -158 [...]
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 [...]
