Baseball Bets

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 [...]

Baseball Bets

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.

Baseball Bets

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… [...]

Baseball Bets

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 [...]

Recent Bets Made

Going to throw down here a couple of recent bets made… Champions League Finals – Barca vs Man U – Straight up Bet 50 I need the finals of the Champions League to be Barcelona vs Man U.  Any other Finals Match-up (i.e. Man U v Real) and Loubaka wins.  The obvious thing to hate [...]

Vagaries and Variance

As I write this, the White Sox and Royals are in extra innings because KC closer Joakim Soria allowed four runs to Chicago after recording the first two outs easily in the top of the 9th. The following discussion took place between the befuddled Royals announcers: Announcer 1: What are the odds in Vegas that [...]

Worst Team in MLB

In his most recent post, Lou writes, “I’d…like to take the Astros for fewest wins in MLB this season if that’s available someplace.”  I made a half-assed attempt at seeing if any line like this exists, if it does I cannot find it.  So, let’s try to figure out what the line would be. The [...]

Lou’s MLB Over/Unders Part 2

5) Cincinnati Reds (Over 84.5) What’s most striking about the Reds is the sheer depth of their team, extending to the high minors as well. Unlike teams such as the Cardinals, this depth means the floor is fairly low, so much so that I’d be somewhat shocked to see this team finish below .500. There’s [...]

Lou’s MLB Over/Unders Part 1

Before we start, I’d like to point out my perfect record in NFL picks this past season.  This doesn’t change in any way that I’m setting money on fire with these plays and I do have an actual play on the first three on this list.  Unfortunately for me, I had to make up the [...]
