    Get the fuck out

    anyone who is even remotely close to being a consistent longterm winner shouldn't go anywhere near those mainstream aust based books. Most if not all are under UK ownership and that means massive restrictions.

    pinnaclesports.com and topsport.com.au is all you need to know

    Baseball is all luck, i keep telling everyone on the other site, they all have a go at me, then i ask them to explain this for me to which no one can answer the question........

    In the NBA, i have often seen when the best team plays the worst team, ie, the most recent season, the Lakers played the Nets in LA, the Nets were paying $10 for the win.......

    In baseball, the biggest mismatch i could think of recently was Texas with arguably baseball's best pitcher in Cliff Lee on the mound at home against thew orst team in baseball in Baltimore with one of the worst pitchers on the mound with Bergensen....Baltimore were paying $4 for the win.......That is the most juice i have ever ever seen in a baseball and the mismatch is arguably the same bewteen these 2 teams as the Lakers game i mentioned, YET, the books offer DOUBLE the juice in the Laks game......

    The inequality in the distribution of talent between teams is the same in the NBA as it is in the MLB........You have some really really really bad teams in the MLB yet you NEVER EVER see the same juice in MLB as it is in the NBA........Why is that?

    Cause the enormous amount of luck that goes into a baseball game and the books dont want to be exposed to this luck......

    No one on the "experts" section on the MLB sight can answer the above scenario

    Baseball is all luck, i keep telling everyone on the other site, they all have a go at me, then i ask them to explain this for me to which no one can answer the question........

    In the NBA, i have often seen when the best team plays the worst team, ie, the most recent season, the Lakers played the Nets in LA, the Nets were paying $10 for the win.......

    In baseball, the biggest mismatch i could think of recently was Texas with arguably baseball's best pitcher in Cliff Lee on the mound at home against thew orst team in baseball in Baltimore with one of the worst pitchers on the mound with Bergensen....Baltimore were paying $4 for the win.......That is the most juice i have ever ever seen in a baseball and the mismatch is arguably the same bewteen these 2 teams as the Lakers game i mentioned, YET, the books offer DOUBLE the juice in the Laks game......

    Further more, the Yankees have the best team MONEY game buy, the best coaches, the best facilities, yet they have only won 2 World Series in 10 years............

    The Yankees would be equivalent to almost the QLD origin side poasing as an NRL club.........If that were the case, i would put everything i had and would mortgage everything i had for that team to win the NRL for 3 years in a row....Agree?

    I mean would this team,

    Slater, Falou, Inglis, Hodges, Boyd, Lockyer, Thurston only win 2 GF's in 10 years?

    Yes Rostos you are right brother. And for these reasons you state above is what makes baseball in my eyes the best game to bet on. I mean heres just the way my mind thinks and my interpretation of it. Ok well we all know in MLB not every team is going to win every game, so you follow teams, wait for them to have a hot spell, then stats tell us they have to come back to the field at some time. (Not the big teams mike NYY) Like say the Chi Sox or the Brewers or so on. These teams after there hot streaks have "cool off" periods and most of these losses come vs lower teams who have a lot of losses, cause again stats tell us even the worst team has to win a few games!!!! I only ever play these ones or teams i think will 100% win and throw them in a 2 team parlay @ even money or better like 2morrrows games. Thanks for your thoughts mate

    As above stated i look at teams that are hot and those that are not. I wait until these teams "cool off". Or vice versa teams that are going badly generally come good, at least for a few games. Take 2morros game between the Chi Sox and the Oakland A's. The Chi Sox have been so dominant at home recently and the A's have been pretty poor. Imo this is the beginning of there "cool off" peroid and you would think the A's would have to string a few together, as the A's got them yesterday 6-2. So @ $2.25 the A's represent good value. Yesterday i thought that the rockies where going to start there "hot run" after a crushing victory the day before. And although they won 6-5 and i cashed the bet, but the win was not convincing enough for me to back them again today. So i would rather play the St louis RL/ Minny ML  as a big bet and play a little something on Oakland to brake even for the day if the 2 teamer happens to lose. This is just my gut feeling for todays games. My thinking may be different again 2morro depending on what happens today. But there is a method to my madness. Hope this has answered your question my man.

    Im confident enough to put my money on it Dave. Gl my man. And yeah the next thing i was going to get at was the pitching. Pitching is a big role but im all about the hitters my man, and relying on a pitcher can be a dangerous game to play as even the best of the best can have BAD BAD BAD days. Also i think we can do all the research in the world  but as Rostos is getting at in MLB "luck" does play a big part. But Jesus Christ if an octopus can choose all the winners of the soccer world cup theres hope for all of us!!!! 

    I wonder if  BWIN.COM would ban an octopus???

    Yeh your are right to David, but you cannot compare normal soccer with international level as i have found it is a whole diff ball game. I have made good $$$ from the EPL in the past but at international level i couldn't pick my own nose.

    I have been saying flip a coin in baseball forever.

    I have also laughed at people who try to cap anything more than home and away and pitcher versus certain team.  Everything else is flip a coin.

    It's because when a baseball is struck, no one can predict where it will be struck on the bat and where it will fly.  Also, when a pitcher throws a ball, no one can predict the wind speed at that moment and the affect it has on the spin of the ball.

    Much like hockey, you won't see $10 dogs.  When a hockey puck is shot, same thing as when a ball is hit in baseball.  Plus, in hockey, you have deflections and bounces.

    Rostos, there is your answer.

    This is a good strategy as it completely removes the single player component.  It relies completely on the solid fact that "everyone wins 60 games and loses 60 games, it's what happens in the middle that counts" theory.

    Looking at it as a team that's won 7 in-a-row isn't likely to string together another 7 so look to start fading them =

    Like it.

    And nice hit on Minnesota and St. Louis today.  Although, in both of those match-ups, I know you were loving the pitching match-ups and Seattle's lack of scoring.  Nice hit.
