thnx bloodhound... great job in the college hoops as well, man you were hot...love stats, much appreciated..... nb

TeamChiefs, Good to have u here playing the dawgs with us, Wish U well this season. As I stated in the description of this contest dogs can be expected to win in the 40% range of all ML games.For the month of April the percentage held true as dogs actually won 39.1%. Our board is is picking 48.27% for the month (390-418-0)which is what I was hoping for, thanks to some hot cappers like Webba, tnick and greeneyeddevil. Congrats to all who chose to take part in the contest. I would love to see everyone in positive territory come October.

bloodhound...thanks for the stats and nice contest. how long have you been doing this contest? i've been a casual bettor for a few years now and i've always found baseball to be a very tough sport to bet on. i'm always lookiing for a good bet, and so far taking only dogs seems like it does well but i know its only been a few weeks. if you have done this contest a few times how has everyone done as a whole in the past?

This has been a CRUSHER week for doggies...What's happened???, it appears the faves have dominated...

Tnick Thank U for coming aboard and congrats on the showing u have made early on.Keep up the good work as we will be trying hard to catch U. This Dawg contest has been around since 04 in some form or another. 'Webba' won in 05 with a record of 271-305-11 plus 12982. In 06 'reminisce' won with 239-268 plus 22986. I have know many a capper over the years that don't play anything 'but dogs' and do very well but I don't believe one can simply shotgun all dogs doing the season and have a winning year. I'm a firm believer in capping the entire field and picking the best games and play them, whether they be dogs or favorites...but then I am 'old school'. Continued GL ||win.gif' border=0>

[TeamChiefs ...ur are correct Sir. The Dawgs are down 2% from 145-225 39.1% last week to 163-276 37.1% for the 1st week of May. This normally happens the in the month of May. Over the years that I have been playing the bases, I have found that April is the best month for all dogs, May second and Sept third. It takes the books a while to catchup to the teams early on and then in Sept when some of the run away teams start subbing players, the dogs once again do well over all. I have seen the dogs fall to 28% during the mid summer months but there are still dogs to be had if u do ur homework. Just don't force them. Keep up the good work ||an_clap.gif' border=0>
