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
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Let’s get into it. The contest is to pick 10 teams against the Vegas over/under totals. The #10 is your top confidence pick, with #1 your shakiest. Without further ado… 10) Chicago White Sox (over 85.5) - This pick is more an indication of my disregard for the competition in the AL Central than with [...]
These are the win totals according to pinnacle. For spreads where one side is -120 or higher I will note so accordingly. We will get into analysis, predictions, and occasional reminders of how badly I kicked Lou’s ass in this contest last year in upcoming entries. Atlanta 88 Arizona 72.5 Baltimore 76 Boston 95 (over [...]
1) I do not have long term betting experience with soccer, but regardless, this week is the first time I have ever seen a soccer total goals scored line of 3.5. And it seems pretty deserved with Chelsea v Stoke City. This could honestly be Chelsea v X, Drogba looks flat out dominant at the [...]
SF Giants @ Houston Astros (+126) – Two Units Oswalt has been much better recently, not that he has really been bad at any point. And the Giants have been struggling.
