MLB - Saturday 5/9

It's May 9th, there is alot of baseball left.  If your going to get this upset because of a couple of losses maybe you shouldn't be betting.  If you don't like unders you don't have to play them.

Meanwhile the San Diego Pathetics take a lead then Adrian Gonzalez grounds into a double play instead of getting another run, and sure enough as it always happens in baseball, the Astros score right away after a team strands the runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs

slumdog why are you crying in this mans thread ?? Are you betting over your head or sumthin ?? Start your own thread for the whining and complaining, positive energy and good karma only in gh's threads.

Did you know:

I think its a good time to be looking at the Bravos.

Yes Slumdog your whining is nonsense.  Instead of getting mad at the game, get mad at the pick.  If you got the pick wrong, chances are it wasn't great.  And by looking at these picks you tailed, (a blue jays game under lol highest scoring team in the league), milwaukee under, but why?  If you're going to complain at least pick a good battle like maybe if you lost a Greinke under.  Make your own picks, or stop trailing bad ones.

some people need to seriously quit b!tchin... so what if you lost 7,000 unders... if you are managing your units properly you should be up around 40 units on the season.

if you have to lose a few unders, overs, tough beats or whatever.. thats all part of it.

post in someone elses thread

You might want to recalculate:

UNDER PITT/METS 9 RUNS (-121) (1.25 UNITS) Loss
UNDER PITT/METS 1ST 5 INNS 4.5 (-105) (1 UNIT) Loss

PITTSBURGH 1ST 5 INNS +155 (1 UNIT) Loss
PITTSBURGH +170 (0.5 UNITS) Loss

BOSTON -136 (1.75 UNITS) Loss

UNDER CUBS/MILW 1ST 5 INNS 4.5 (EVEN) (1.5 UNITS) Loss

SAN DIEGO +108 (1.75 UNITS) Loss

 

in past post by GH, he stated that the 1st 5inn bets would count as half.  unless i was dreaming that.

He counts the Pitt F5 and the under 9 as one play. If he wins both it is only 1-0 if he loses both it's only 0-1. He has stated that numerous times.  The record doesn't matter as much as the unit count.

That kind of monkey business is dishonest record keeping. A loss is a loss.

 

if you are reading his post which you obviously aren't, then you would have known this.  are you following his plays?  if so, you may want to know how he is running everything and how his count works.  otherwise, i suggest you make some adjustments. 

Good morning GH.  With regards to your quote from yesterday...

"...a total moving from 9 to 8.5 in baseball is possibly the biggest total move you can ever have."

Can you help a relative inexperienced person and explain the importance?

Thanks.

Tux, gh has states very clearly that if he were to win both of those picks he would only count it as 1-0.

Do us all a favor...I am tired of your daily BS in my threads....get lost and post elsewhere...this is my 3rd baseball season here...I have consistently done my accounting the same way since I joined....if I like a team (i.e., the Pirates yesterday) and rather than playing them 2 units for the game, I decide to bifurcate my thought process (the fact that I like the Prates) into a 1 unit play on the whole game and a 1 unit play on the first 5 innings, it is still the same thought process......how is it dishonest you jacka$$ when I account for it the same if it wins or loses....take it a step further...say I like the Orioles/Yankees over today....and say I play over the game (10.5) for a 1/2 unit, over the Yanks team total (5.5) for a 1/2 unit, over the Orioles team total (5) for a 1/2 unit and over the first 5 innings (5.5) for a 1/2 unit and the Yanks win 7-6 and it's 3-3 after 5 innings.....it really was all the same thought process that I liked the game over and rather than playing 2 units on it, I broke it into 4 plays.....should I count that as a 4-0 record on a bet that I could have just plzyed over in the game for 2 units and been 1-0?

What if the Pirates won yesterday, and had been winning after 5 innings the game was under after 5 and as a final? I would have said I was 2-0. WOuld you have been whining like a little bit%h that it is dishonest?

Like I said, you have been a horse's a$$ time after time in my threads.Take your Hannah Montana act elsewhere!

And the last point, who cares? All that matters is the units...bookmakers don't pay out on won-loss records!

Good morning....7 and 9 are two of the most popular final score totals in baseball.....the move from 9 to 8.5 is very risky because as we all know, games don't end up tied, so if both teams score 4 runs, it must land on at least 9 and go over the 8.5. It's a big risk that should be avoided if it jumps from 9 to 8.5.

Well said Game.  Your point is made more obvious by the often HUGE juice disparities between that half point.  Yesterday one could lay -136 on the U9 at Pinny or opt for a substantially reduced -105 on the U8.5

I am very interested to see how GH responds to yesterdays disaster. He's had quite few disaster days lately.

Tex-

Get lost and please stay out of my threads going forward!

Thank you!
