2021 HOT STOVE

Indians started Bieber, line as high as -167, Royals kicking azz. Who says ST ain't fun

Back to work tomorrow, and I'll be busy prepping spring fishing gear and such. I won't be able to keep track of everyone's record collectively

@undermysac

 Fishing? I know you are dedicated, maybe even a fanatic, but don't let that interfere with gambling! What kind of degenerate are you? Kill a fifth of vodka and a twelve pack and get your priorities straight. 

I joined a new Bass Club. I'll fish more than I have in a while

@undermysac

 Don't overdue it or we will start referring to you as the bass-turd 

@venezolanisimo

@KeyElement

 Actually that was my point as to how much the players were willing to give back then because of a desire to play, we know it was not money they were playing for since the Owners screwed every player out of a fair share, because they could back then.

@JEG53

 Yeah, but, think about the times. Most of those guys were making more than they could at a regular job, so the money looked good. We aren't talking about college educated players back then that could readily go start a career doing something else at equal or better money, or with a brighter future. Heck, a lot of guys thought it was crazy anyone would pay them to do something that was fun. 

Bobby Jones was one of the first great professional golfers, and he quit the game to start his law practice, because there was a lot more money in it. The NFL couldn't get any college educated stars when they began, because the money just wasn't there. It was not until they signed Red Grange that college educated stars were even interested in the NFL. 

Those guys didn't feel underprivileged or underpaid my friend, they thought they were lucky. 

Today a kid can go to a blue blood school, play 1 year of hoops and be a millionaire in the nba the next year. With about a 7% chance of absorbing any education.

ill most likely be on JEGs Giants tomorrow.....will wait for public to pound Doyers first to get a better line.   

@BIGDTITLE

 Nothing but money with that team, .

@KeyElement

 Yes they did think they were lucky to make money playing a game for sure, at least the great players made a great salary for there time frames, but there was also alot of guys making a few thousands a year that might not have felt so good and all of them had to work in off season,so even those making 100 grand still lived above the income like most Americans. But players and owners always were fighting in baseball and when it started switching to the union having more or as much power as owners they became assholes also, but the players started the road to more money and less playing.

I have not started playing baseball yet, unless I decide to take some team at +200 which is silly, but that site BETUS will not be the one I use, they took a winner away from me in CBB and when I called them they said I did not confirm and did I have a copy of bet, so I was like really, that must be why your a C- on SBR so I need to get caught up and see how screwed I am on taxes before I do everything.

So SAC you did not get paid on a 6 inning game I am guessing is the problem on your rigged game, I could go into another fix game story for you but it only makes me feel better, shit is going to happen to us Degenerates, problem is they keep winning the fights, to much money on one side Vegas calls the Hot Line and they put in a pitcher that will not be there opening day, tie game and lets call it early. PUSH.

@BIGDTITLE

 One more thing,

Last year I played 2 pre-season games, first 2 games Giants-Dodgers played, Kershaw pitched one and Giants were +300 and other game might be the guy starting tomorrow they were +200, won both of them and I was done, now at +105 is not a very good line for them against a team that is going to break barneybeans heart, think his under could be hard to win with how bad that Conf. looks.

Good you waited,+160 it should be.GL on it if you do.

Brewers -125

My pony is starting to resemble Secretariat. In all S.T. competition only the Brewers and Dodgers are +11 runs after two games. I am not a fan of that particular stat but it is more meaningful in S.T. when the pitchers are playing musical chairs and there is no advantage there.

@KeyElement

 My pony is the Marlins. On them for a 3rd game in a row, +- run diff +7. With a whole bunch of young arm talent on that fish farm.

When the reg seas kicks off, I may be on them in every game at + odds vs the NL Eaat. No joking...name me a better collective starting 5 rotation.

I'll wait 

2/28 2-0 +7.32U

3/1  0-1-1 -3.00U

2-1-1 +4.32

3/2

TEX +120 3U

KC +100 3U

BOL

Thus far I like them all. Sac's and Barney's picks were on my radar as well. 

Sac, back in '89 or '90, I had a sneaking hunch on the Pirates when the rest of the world had no respect. There I was at the counter at the Stardust every morning and plucking down ever larger bets on the Pirates. They got off to a terrific start and most times as an underdog. Set my season on a roll. It was about three weeks before the bettors caught on and the odds flattened out. Best Of Luck with the Marlins.

@barneybeans

@KeyElement

Any reason that there are no odds on Detroit vs Pitt? I don't see a split squad for either team

Giants lineup is out, and it looks like crap. Your theory will happen.

@undermysac

 Still hasn’t moved but that’s what I was afraid of.  KC been a nice cash cow as well speaking of Secretariats

@undermysac

 Marlins lineup looks like shit too.....but our boy on the bump 

And Arenado is playing...wish I waited. Gonna stick with Marlins -115, can get +135 now which is stupid.

ok........my 2nd official pick of the season......... going for that 100% win percentage 

Rangers  +128
