Making a new thread for each month of the MLB season.  I love betting baseball.  

I will rarely bet favorites and 100% will never bet anything over -120.  I just don't feel it is worth it if you are a constant baseball bettor.  

I am making one thread each month, so people can see every game I post and it will be easier to track all of my plays.  

Baseball is a ton of fun to bet, but it is a huge grind.  My plays will range from 1-5 Units this season.  I am going to be a lot more selective than past seasons.  Trying to make a steady profit throughout the year.

I want to stress that I DO NOT suggest anybody tail anyone blindly, so if you do and I lose, take it like a man.  I do my best to post winners, so negativity is just unnecessary.  


Ready to roll this year.

Small tidbit.  Richards +130 at home against basically any team and pitcher is too good to pass up tonight.  Arrieta off a Cy Young.  I love Arrieta.  He anchored my fantasy team last year and I bet him a ton,  but tonight he's definitely overvalued in LA.  

MLB is more about value than picking straight up winners.  I believe +130 at home is too good to pass up tonight.

i enjoy all your thoughts. And I said, no thanks. A month long thread? is that to keep the numbers up here on covers for your posts? Since so many people will wanna see your picks, id think new threads would be easier :)

I like the under more in this game myself.  Richards will hold this young slugging Cubs team in check today while Arrieta will likely do his thing and hold a slightly suspect Angels offense (outside of Trout) to no more than 2 runs or so.  I can see either team winning a tight one 2-1 or 3-2.

Good luck this season!

I'd think getting rid of you completely by covers would be easier so no one who have to sift through each garbage post you make. You are a joke.

Papa:  Just keep doing what you are doing.  A month-long Thread is a brilliant  idea.  Makes it easier to find the info I am looking for without these Newbies posting 6 of their new Threads every day and cluttering up the entire MLB Forum.

I'm down on Kazmir this year.  Shields was solid at home and had good numbers in over 25 innings last year against the Dodgers.  I expect Padres to bounce back from their ugly 15-0 loss last night.

Definitely not going to tail you blindly but will continue to fade you blindly for sure. Since the new year you have been nothing but $$$$.

Keep them coming.... 

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
