I flipped a quarter. Best of three and the Padres side (heads) came up the first two times.
No really, Randy Wolf is lights out at home this year with an XERA of 2.63. Johan is good on the road w/ an XERA of 3.47 but Wolf is better in this spot, believe it or not. Obviously the Mets have a better offense but there's not too much difference. Johan's name alone is getting way too many cents on this line and that's basically why I'm playing.

I usually like most of my plays the same, but I can tell you this isn't one of my strongest plays, hence the 1 unit wager. I see an edge, but it's not a huge one.

are you sure varying the bet sizes is a good idea?? have i been noticing a trend that your bigger unit plays are not winning at the same percentage as your smaller unti plays??
just wondering...
I have only had 2 true 4 unit plays. I won the one yesterday and lost the one today. Obviously I would have preferred to win both times but I am not a 100% capper.
As for the risking favs to win 2 units, I cleaned house using this method yesterday and netted a good amount of extra units because of it. Obviously today was not as good but what am I supposed to do about the Blue Jays putting in Armando Belitez and blowing a 4-0 lead? What am I supposed to do with Kyle Davies pitching like Josh Beckett at Yankee Stadium? Even so, both of these games only lost by 1 run.
Sometimes we tend to get too wrapped up in instant gratification: "You didn't win today so what's wrong?"
Like I have told many people before, I don't bet to win in a specific day or week, I bet to win long term. And I have verified my current methods of betting as being most profitable. Give it a couple of weeks and then I will be happy to discuss this again.

Well said lana! Like the saying goes, "You win some and you lose some" True, we got jacked by Armando Belitez....unbelievable but heh, I remember a 2 run walk off the other night for a CWS win. Boy was that ever so sweet.
Betting is sort of like playing sports. You have to learn how to lose w/ out being so negative about it. You can't win everything! 100% = not gonna happen. But like lana said, "I bet to win long term" That is exactly what I intend to do.
So hang in there fellas, we will get'em back tomorrow. Books win tonight, lana & crew win tomorrow!

Lan I have been following you for a while and I love your insight on the game. I m a huge sports fan and usually stick to college football. At the same time, this year you have given me a reason to follow baseball from a non-fantasy or fan stand point. Thanks for posting and one bad day doesnt mean a life time. You are very good at what you do. Keep it up bro. and thanks again

Very well said. I have tried to say the same thing in different threads but people get so hung up on a few games that end like the Toronto or Yankee games tonight. Long term, baseball is predictable and profitable. Thanks Lanny..

meant no disrespect by my comments - it seemed like you were a little offended by them - i apologize if i offended you
i check your picks everyday and love your threads - my comments were meant as a positive reinforcement on your capping abilities - i juat was wondering if you have done long term research on your bigger plays, compared to your smaller plays, that's all
again, i apologize if my comments upset you

varying bet sizes is usually not profitable
i think if you did some research or talked to long term winners (10+ years or more) they will tell you the same thing
especially varying by 1-4 units
maybe 1 to 1.5 or 2 units will work out long term, but not 1-4
just trying to add insight, that's all
love Lan's threads and his plays...

I have seen your arguments with vanzack and others so please don't take this the wrong way, I don't have time to argue with you. I didn't say anything about varying unit size first off. And I have heard convincing arguments for both sides of this issue. I do not flat bet as described by vanzack but I do try to wager between .5 and 2 units for most of my bets. I do pick certain spots to wager well over 2 units and I hit those at an extraordinarily high rate. Money management is the most important part of sports wagering. If you don't do it, you will be done in just a few weeks if not sooner. Thanks for your time and good night.

i don't remember ever arguing with vanzack, other than the time he said that the college footbal regular season was completely useless, so you are way off with that comment
if you have time to post about me, you better well have time to back it up, and you responded to lan's comment about my post, so obviously you do have time
u just said you don't flat bet like lan, which was the whole point of my post, so I am not really sure wherte you are coming from on this topic...very odd...
