    4-team teaser to close out the week

    Tampa Bay +17.5 Dallas Pick Seattle +10 San Diego +3.5 Laying $560 to win $400 (a tie is a push) Reasoning: 1) Tampa Bay is winless and hungry for that first win, and that plus home-field advantage, I feel, is just enough motivation to offset the motivation Cincy will have after their bye...

    Week 7, Day 5

    Oakland/Detroit under 8.5, laying $165 to win $150 Reasoning: There will be a 20 or 21 mph breeze blowing in from right-center field, some light showers (heavier showers later, which is why the game is being moved up) and it will be COLD, mid-40s that feels like upper-30s. If the sun does...

    Week 7, Day 4

    Very hard for me to not bet Nashville/Chicago Over in the NHL, but a Nashville paper said the Preds have been working on defense all week and since these teams played an 8-6 game already this year against each other, I think this will go in the opposite direction, but why do I see a 3-3 game...

    Week 7, Day 3

    Atlanta Thrashers -0.5, regulation time, laying $100 to win $100 Kari Lehtonen is healthy this year and living up to all the expectations put upon him the last few years early this season. He has been outstanding and the Thrashers have a potentially high-powered offense and Atlanta is off to a...

    Week 7, Day 2

    bought 1/2 a run to 9. Detroit/Oakland under 9, laying $114 to win $100 Reasoning: Zito has very good numbers his last 2 outings vs. Detroit and although Robertson has struggled at Oakland in his 2 career appearances there, I think this might be a good spot for him to improve on that. His...

    Week 7, Day 1, rain and snow and a bet on the under

    They are calling for rain and snow tonight. Baltimore/Denver under 33, laying $102 to win $100 Reasoning: Now I saw a post where there was a big snow storm a few years back at Denver on a Sunday night game when they played the Raiders, and I do remember that game going Over. But does that...

    4-team teaser to close out the week

    I generally like to get over key numbers in the NFL, and although I didn't get over 17, 21 or 24 (nowhere near as important as key numbers 3, 7, 10 and 14), I did get over 14 with Dallas. And besides, my first 3 selections I like to cover the real pointspread, anyway, so I am ok with not getting...

    NHL selection

    I thought strongly about the Red Wings/Penguins under tonight with Hasek and Fleury (Fleury coming off a 40 shot shutout performance), but a lot of games are seeing shots on goals in the mid-30s per team early on, so I cannot take an under just yet in this young season (and NJ/Dallas also looks...

    Week 6, Day 4

    I passed on the Yankees over today even though I liked it quite a bit, but the afternoon shadows and the Yankees sudden hitting slump kept me off that one. I am taking: New York/Los Angeles over 8.5, laying $119 to win $100 Reasoning: Greg Maddux has an 11-14 career postseason record...

    Week 6, Day 3

    Minny/Oakland over 8.5, laying $112 to win $100 Reasoning: The ball carries a lot better at Oakland in the afternoon than at night and always has. A 14 mph breeze blowing out today and although I love Brad Radke and am rooting for him, his arm is literally hanging by a thread and has pitched...

    Week 6, Day 2

    Last night's game was no action due to the rainout, and since Verlander pitches better during day games, the wind was now blowing across instead of out like on Wednesday night and because of the shadows in the afternoon at Yankees Stadium, I did not re-bet it today. Today it is: Los Angeles/New...

    Week 6, Day 2

    Detroit/N.Y. Yankees over 9, laying $124 to win $100 Reasoning: After a brilliant first 4 months, Justin Verlander has been hit or miss since August 1st, having just 4 good outings in his last 10 starts. Yes, he skipped his last start to get extra rest for this playoff start, so maybe this...

    Week 6, Day 1

    Oakland/Minnesota under 7, laying $100 to win $100 Reasoning: Both Zito and Santana have had success pitching against each other's teams and Santana has been unhittable at times when at the MetroDome and I just see lots of goose-eggs going up today. Both pitchers are backed by solid bulllpens...

    4-team teaser to close out the week

    Similar to Week 2, I am paying a lot of extra juice ($140 this time, in fact) just to get an extra 2 1/2 points to get over a "key" number for one of the teams in my 4-team teaser. In this instance, I am getting 2 1/2 points on the Cowboys just by simply betting this teaser at a different book...

    Week 5, Day 5

    I liked them all week and shoud have bet them before the line moved to 17. It bothers me that some guy has to tout this as his InterGalactic Game of the Millennium, which almost took me off this game, but the guy is a good capper and I liked this game before he even mentioned it, so I gotta...

    Week 5, Day 4

    30 runs in Colorado put the Salami over by 7 runs yesterday which ticks me off, as even a 22-run game would have given me a win, and of course, Penny goes out early with a back injury and the Phillies game being played at 11:30 p.m. EST is a joke and Major League Baseball should be ashamed of...

    Week 5, Day 3

    Got lucky with the rain-shortened game last night to give me a no action on my total (which I will call a push for record-keeping purposes). I am stubborn, so I am taking another shot at this Grand Salami under today. Grand Salami under 112, laying $202 to win $200 Reasoning: Looked at all 12...

    Week 5, Day 2

    ChiSox/Cleveland over 10, laying $159 to win $150 LA Dodgers, laying $180 to win $150 Reasoning: 1) 23 mph breeze blowing out and I don't have a lot of faith in Carmona or McCarthy, not to mention that the ChiSox bats should wake up here after being outscored 20-1 in this series. 2) Simply...

    Week 5, Day 1

    Better lucky than good as I won my NFL teaser on Sunday, took yesterday off (and I am glad I did as I would have lost all 3 bets I thought about placing), so that is practically a winning night for me, making the decision to pass. Now I am back with a bet tonight to hopefully get things back on...

    4-team teaser to close out the week

    Took 2 days off after a tough 1/2-run loss on Thursday and a tough week, period, as I decided to just wait till Sunday, play my teaser to hopefully salvage the week and maybe jump-start me into Week 5. Haven't had a winning day in 10 days (haven't bet all of those days) and probably should have...
