If u don't know how to cap mlb games, just fade padres for the rest of the season for money. No runs? Free money lets go. Fade the league worst offensive team for money.

Pay me dodgers shut out again. They not that good but padres is a joke of a team until otherwise.

See u guys next thread n tomorrow is a new day

Sorry about the Diamondbacks pick guys.   Honestly I would take them 10 times out of 10 in that same spot.    Corbin made a couple mistakes and the Rockies managed a rare solid team pitching effort.  

i still see a ton of value in the -130 to -150 range in MLB.   I think it's important to stake your plays by risk amount so you are still risking what you would risk on a -110.   Sure you might win a little bit less on that play but then you aren't getting killed by juice if it loses.  

That being said you still need to pick your spots.   Can't play -150 all the time because the juice will catch up.   I just think if you are only looking around the -110 in MLB you are eliminating a big part of the board and the part that is usually the most profitable.  

Just one persons opinion though.

Does anyone out there have a site that allows you to play a -1 or +1 run line?   That can be a great way to play a lower price but not get beat by the -1.5.   It's just not that widely available.   Curios to see if a main book offers it because I haven't seen it offered at any of the ones I play at in a couple years.

Hey Bubba, can you change my $$$$ play to be Portland -6?

I am all in on Portland tonight.  OKC is sitting their top 3 PLUS Andre Roberson for this game.  I do not see how their bench will keep up with Portland offense for 48 minutes.  Portland averaging 114ppg at home lately and needs all the wins they can get to stick to a 5 or 6 seed come playoff time.  They do not want to face Golden St or San Antonio 1st round.

I noticed my book took off the team totals for this game, but I still snagged Portland -6 and bet it big.

$$$$ Portland Trailblazers -6 $$$$

What a beat !!! Had them straight and in a big parlay at -51/2 , the most I could have bought was 11/2 from 7 to 51/2 and sure enough they hit a 3 at end of the game.

Have been following your plays for awhile now and respect your opinion a ton but thought i'd throw some friendly advice at you when it comes to the baseball side of things..

At -150 you're betting on a team to win 60% of the time and when it comes to baseball it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Unlike the disparity you see when it comes to basketball and footballs best and worst teams, its just not the case in Baseball. The gap is really small and usually the value plays are the underdogs or slight favorites. Throughout the course of the season you can find a little value in extreme favorites but it's just really realllllly rare. Especially with a team like the D Backs who lost one of their most valuable players and are still trying to figure out how to gel together. I just don't see the value at -150 or more and it's not to say you're valuation is wrong at all but just my personal opinion.

Good luck this season!

Glad the A's pulled that one out. Great sighting from Gray. I thought the bats were gonna give him a little bit more cushion but I'll take the W. 

On to Thursday!

It is indeed rather stunning but not exactly super surprising I guess for the NBA LOL.  I find it funny that my betting account just made a new 2016 high tonight yet I lost my last 4 $$$$ plays.  I did hedge this bet for 2nd half plus had a lot on the Portland ML and 1st half.  Still though, I totally thought Portland would handle this game and win by double digits.  Freaking NBA though, one just never knows what kind of bullcrap will happen any given day. 

Over the years I have been taught a tough lesson that NBA tends to lead to more ridiculous outcomes then most any other sport from day to day.

I posted my play yesterday and the amount  of my plays obviously we're doing this to make money so if I'm 5-8 yet my total is +$500 whatever or my record is 8-5 and my total is +500 what's the difference?  Is the objective of this thread to make money or have best record?

I actually just read about the $$$ play...I thought any play we would post should be only our $$$ play on this thread and put all the other plays or degenerate plays lol under our own thread or topic for that day. Anyone that's been gambling for quite some time knows that you take a play now and then to watch or you've capped it and kind of like it but if you only took the plays you really realllllly loved or liked a real lot.....then most of us that follow sports would be averaging a very high winning %
Saying all that I will put $$$ before every play i post on this thread lol Good Luck all

I consider myself 1-0 and +$600 in this thread and regardless of the odds on my play ( although I would go to a run line before laying more than -160 almost always) if I'm not +$$$$ at the end of baseball season then I will never post another play on this site or any other!!!

                                 Sincerely ,
                                                   Dafish

Topflight you might want to check into 5dimes although I've had an account with them for 10 years and have cashed out many times with no issues and love the site compared to any other site as far as what they offer...I haven't used them past couple years due to amount of money I wager on my plays...a few weeks ago I read either on this site or rx forum that 5 dimes was being investigated for tax fraud so check into those accusations before you join. If you find the tax fraud claims not to be true I would highly recommend 5 dimes

FYI I'm usually pretty good at these plays i usually get at least a split 
Houston -7 1h 
Houston over 105 1h 

*** Thinking split at worst but let's get both!!

I like 5 dimes myself but this is probably not a good time to join.  There are some issues that need to be resolved there between them and the US.  Just look for something else now and if there is no problem in a month sure sign with them.
