pedro gets it done
besides who has confidence in adam eaton anyway
 
Eaton is 5-0 against the Mets and the Phillies are 8-1 in all of Eaton's starts against the Mets. Might wanna rethink that yourself

crystal, Goodkat, panteraa -- Thanks guys. It's decent people like you that keep me posting on Covers.

Golferman -- Not a tasty start to the game, but it stats like this that made the Phils a play.

panteraa -- Can you please be a little more specific? Not sure what your question is.

A unit is just a bettors average, small bet.  Instead of posting that I bet $2,000 which could either be the biggest play of my life or the smallest, you post based on units... a 1 unit play for me is $50, for bill gates it would be more like $500,000

And lanny bets 2 units on each game so a 4 unit play is a large one

Ok so say you bet 1 unit on a +130 game. You get 1.30 units im guessing and if you bet 1 unit on a -130 bet and lose...you lose 1.30 units? thanks for the help. Ive been betting for awhile but never have come to a room before to see the lingo involved i guess.

You are right on the first premise. For the second, if you bet 1 unit at -130, you lose 1 unit. For a loss, you lose whatever you wagered. It's the payout that differs on the moneyline. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ok cool im learning  So for another example here. On the Phillies, you took 5.16 units. Assuming 1 unit = $10, youre wager would be $51.60?
