Good stuff, Krams!

It sounds like you have nine lives today.

other than that I find it very difficult to find angles with baseball that stay consistent.......

I will continue to record results on baseball but at this time of year its pennant race time so if its not my 2 favorite angle I say take the Yanks you know they will at least make the playoffs

My sport has always been football and I always have a winning season money wise in football....even though some weeks are brutal (lol)

I hope I can find some angles for football this is my first year trying to come up with my own angles and trends so it should be fun


Okay storm clouds you can quit hovering over me........I promise if its not my teams (yanks and phils) I wont pick........lol

GL today guys...

 remember if you play the inning props they are 50/50 when it comes to trends or angles.....so if you dont have the time to watch the game and pick before it locks then pass

If Duffman keeps his lead in golf ....I will watch game and see if the 8th inning prop is worth picking

That was my point.

We potentially could have missed out on some good lines during the unnecessary delay in them giving us the push. It is not a big deal, it is just one of those little things that makes no sense and causes frustration.


I agree with you.  I have definitely been extremely frustrated with that as well and lost interest for the day, or a couple of days.  It is a very frustrating thing when it is easy for them to just call it a push.   They score the games that are played within minutes of the conclusion.

So you want me to bet on matt leinart, wade phillips, and the 32nd ranked defenses 1st unit?  I root for the texans as long as they don't face my patriots, but 1) its preseason, and 2) the players listed above.  Plus the jets do have some good players on there depth chart that are going to get to play.

LOOK BRO,,, you coulda stuck your opinion out there without that whole first sentence, I said i know its preseason, and i suggested LOOKING into it, not picking or betting, but just looking into it. Talk about my Rockets or my Astros, but not my TEXANS. me and the Yankees or the Braves dont click, but i know those are my fellow 25 dimers teams...i will never say nothing negative about them in this forum.NEVER. besides, when they say take a look at em, i do, and if i like, THEN i pick, it usually ends on a good note. If you werent being a smart as$, then my apologies to you before hand, but to me,,,So you want me to bet on matt leinart, wade phillips, and the 32nd ranked defenses 1st unit? ....that sounds a bit in that direction....bottom line, if your team is the 1990 patriots, im not gonna sit here and criticize there 1-15 record. Ima support your pick while i watch from the sidelines...

There is no doubt that in the 25 Dime Club we have some passionate members rooting for their own teams, myself included. Thats what I love about this Club. We're real people man. This is good stuff. We all love to bet and play the streaks but we're very protective of our favorite teams. With the exception of Booyahz who was willing to throw the Yankees under the bus for Tampa but he has learned his lesson so it's all good. Hey Booyahz I love you man but you know I'm gonna rib you about that one for awhile. It's all in fun.

Well I don't have a really set strategy so far...its too early on this site for that, but I have been on another one for over a year...what I've learned is just stick with what you know, and don't take any pick for granted unless you're at zero.

Also, it's mostly numbers but it's certainly not all numbers...use your 6th sense or whatever and smell the fish when they're around...there were 2 times in my short 8 game streak where I looked at the expert picks...I didn't listen and they were WRONG both times.

Nuff said

What is covers actually afraid of?.... that I'll actually win a pick. Given that I'm at 0 they should have let me in anyway. That is rude and insulting. Due to dreadful performances from the Chiefs and Vikings I've taken my 300th survivor loss before I can get my 300th win. I'll try to see if the 3rd time is a charm. Jets/Texans Over 34.5, hopefully these teams will have an urgency unlike the Chiefs and Vikings who combined for 3 points.
Game is tomorrow. Stupid consensus bs I would have had a win with the Giants. Instead I just lost a day picking the Jets/Texans Over.

Welcome to the board man
You dont need a set strategy to share thoughts and opinions......I try to come up with different plays. angles or trends . I dont always trust the ones covers gives so freely.....lol....

GL with your picks......

These are the rules to follow:
1. Handicap preseason far differently than regular season
2. Beware of coaches that do not care
3. Look for coaches who want to win
4. look for teams that want to blitz often
5. follow the qb rotations

When I look at the Texans QB rotation of 3 QB's, Im thinking Schaub plays the whole first half like Grossman did for the Redskins.

I dont see Sanchez playing much and with the backups they have they need him

The Jets pride themselves on physical play and defense .....will they blitz or just play physical?

Once I see what sportsparlor puts  up I will decide what I like for sure

Leaning toward HOU because non playoff teams feel more of a need to instill a winning atmosphere going into the season.....while veteran teams can take a different approach.....

I do think this could be a boring 2nd half with plenty of half back dives

I love it! These two guys just going at each other like it's the Super Bowl! JK. Emotion is good for the board. As long as we respect each other's teams and opinions, then anything goes. I really fee thatl EG and Krams will get along just fine. I just hope it doesn't get too intense when/ if the Texans and Pats collide.

Man, Smooth! You are never going to let Booyahz live that one down, are you? Good stuff, broseph. I think he finds it as amusing as we do. I hope.

Theses are the ones I have noticed
08-08 Pitt(+165) at Giants(-185) MLB  5-0 Pirates
08-08 Astros(+150) at DBACKS(-180)   9-1 Astros
08-09 WNBA SEA(+148)at NY(-164)     56-58 NY  SEA covered 
08-09  Rockies(+129) at Reds(-149)   3-2 Rockies
