If you want to maximize your ability to win, you have to consider RL plays as part of your strategy. I see guys on other forums that are very successful and they play RL plays alot. Yes, you do put yourself in the position of the dreaded 1 run win which turns into a loss, but in return for that, you get better odds. By giving up the .5 runs, you turn a favorite into a dog. You also allow yourself the chance to play those heavy favorites (-170 and above), which most good handicappers will stay away from due to high juice. I understand the detractors who say it takes away an inning if the home team is winning by a run in the ninth or the slim possibility of winning by two if the game goes extras. But that is built into the price and part of the risk. I guess you could say the same thing about playing an over total if the home team is favored. You lose a half inning there as well. Personally, I like to place money on both the ML and the RL and make it into a -1 RL. I never worry about the dreaded 1 run win and I still get nicer odds. Nothing better than being able to jump on the Yanks in an obvious mismatch or get to root for Lincecum without having to lay -180 or -200. |

Tread lightly. Moyer is 100 years old, but owns the Fish.

Hated his guts, but Will Clark had a nice swing back in the day.
Right now- Pujols. |

Any of the Covers experts. Seems like every one of them is on a monster 20-7 run at any given minute, day, week, century.

GH.
Lots of Braves this week. First Ron Gant, then Bob Horner. |

Always depends on the number on a given day, but RL may be the way to go. The Nats are really bad and there is literally nothing you can point to give any glimmer of a hope of a decent or improved season. Any improvement (if you can find one) has to be countered by the fact that the teams in the NL East are tough. 100 losses seems to be the consensus. |

Hit lots of pull shot, line drive, screamer home runs in Fulton Co Stadium. Would compete with Bonds as a 30-30 guy, back when 30-30 acutally meant something. Probably was not juicing since his numbers went DOWN as he got older, unlike good ole Barry Lamar and his flax seed oil. |

GL Game. Have heard Gant in awhile, but as a Braves fan, I assume Ron Gant. He was a great player, but never the same after that motorcycle accident. |

When he was doing his radio show, he always got ragged on for barely being over .500. But in his defense, he gets the games sent to him by ESPN and he has to make picks on those games whether he likes them or not. The games are usually the nationally televised games or the ones with high interest. Sometimes his best play of the week would be a total. Not schilling for him, since he is not a tout and doesnt sell picks. And he used to HATE tout services and call out all the frauds. But I wouldnt call him immediate fade material. |

Always thought the dynamic between the touts and Gamehunter on the radio show was interesting. Here are touts selling a "service" and they are interviewing a guy who gives out a better service- for free. And I dont remember any specific time period where the touts were killing the books. Probably just barely breaking even when you take into account that you pay to break even. I mean at the end of the show, was anybody saying, "Wow, Gamehunter is really good, but I really need to go pay for picks."
Anyway, hope GH decides to stop back. He's a good guy and a great contributor to the forum.

Dont sweat it, Game. Rest a bit and get back in the game. 99% of the guys in here respect what you do and are grateful that you share your knowledge of the game without asking for anything in return. The disagreements in philosophy are well taken. Just a difference of opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
Pay no attention to the touts and other idiots that love to create an alias and bash. The "Gamehunter, you suck" posts are written by a very vocal minority of idiots. Take it as a compliment. If you truly sucked, I doubt they would be wasting thier time commenting in your thread.

Dont know what you guys are talking about. All the touts are on some sort of 75% run this week/month/year/century. If you dont believe me, just check thier web pages.
