true dat my friend.  takin the good with the bad. but as long as we bet dogs we keep a value edge overall.  thanks for following everyone. i remember how excited i was to learn about this when i did last year becuase its so intuitive and logical that it gives us an edge.  thanks for noticing when we have a good day. i dont mean to ignore the bad days but usually i can spot them coming and only play a game or two and thusly mitigate my loses.  good from nyc.

best day of sports ever saturday..... kentucky derby. mayweather cotto fight. nba and nhl playoffs. ufc. nascar and of course mlb.  play smart and drink for free this weekend. whoop whoop

nice system, I'll be looking out.

Also, Lawson james has a nice system.  Under play on west coast night games.  It is something like 10-4 ytd.

Joey88, I just read your thread and I'm new to MLB since NBA is winding down. Based on the effectiveness this system, I decided to run all of tomorrow's (5/4) games and eliminate using the criteria. Just to make sure I am doing this correctly, 5 games were left and I have for (5/4) games picked:

Cubs, Pirates, Rockies, Brewers & Blue Jays

This is what I have for today...anyone else get the same?

CHC +120
PIT +130
COL +110
MIL +100
TOR +110

Only one I REALLY don't like is Chicago Cubs +120 against Billingsly. Betting against one of the best teams in baseball coming off a loss? I really want to take the dodgers...any thoughts?

I am going to take Cubs on this one since Maholm is a southpaw that has a pretty good and better WHIP. Both pitchers have the same ERA in the last 3 starts.

Billingsley has the better WHIP on the year @ 0.95  -vs-  Malhom's WHIP @ 1.35

And sorry to burst the original posters bubble, or anybody elses... but this Effective System has been going on for years & years @ Covers.com


https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=79&sub=100741930

https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=27&sub=101019268

https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=79&sub=845117


And these are the only 3 I found  -  I'm sure dozens more are buried throughout the archives of Covers, dating back to 2007, or so.


Nice little system, though.  And Best of Luck to all those playing.

Yes i am aware and i certainly wasnt trying to take credit. But like you said, its been around a while and yet people still dont know about it.  I figured that increased awareness of this system would be valuable to the community here at covers.com.   I was just trying to make it top of mind for everyone.  I obviously didnt invent it by any means.  But I loved the idea and tracked it last year and only then did i send it out to the public in this forum, as to not look foolish.

It seemed like dead information and it shouldnt be.  Have a good weekend fellas. No mayweather -900 unless you rich boy.

Looks like this for Monday

CHC +115
CIN +115
BAL +140
KC +100

If someone can double check that would be great! Lines may change so watch those as well.

CIN is down to -104, so they are no longer a play unless you locked it in earlier today.

CHC doesn't fit the system as ATL has won 3 games in a row.

SEA fits the system today as well...

40 W and 48 L, (41.7%) -1.5 units, average game line +119, break even point at that game line is 45.61% since April 18th

Thats all qualified games as they were offered at 9am EST daily. 

But like I've been saying, you dont always play this blindly, you use the picks to narrow the field with the best available games, so I havent played all 88 games picked and am up 6 units ytd
