    Week 4, Day 4

    I have gotten smoked the last week and have not had a winning day since last Wednesday. I kind of consider last night to almost be a "winning day" because I took the night off and all 3 games I liked (but did not bet) all lost, so I am in the midst of a horrific losing slide, which happens a few...

    Week 4, Day 2

    After that San Diego loss last night, I wonder if that is a sign from the stars to quit baseball for the season, as I could be in the midst of a cold, cold streak when crap like that happens. Back-to-back-to-back-to-back HRs in the 9th for LA and then a 2-run walk-off HR in the 10th to lose that...

    Week 4, Day 1

    Took it on the chin yesterday with my NFL teaser, so I will look to hopefully bounce back this week and look to avoid the landmine next Sunday for my next teaser. However, this will at least give me the opportunity to explain what happens after a losing week. I consider $1000 a week an...

    NFL teaser to conclude Week 3

    4-teamer, laying $700 to win $500: Indianapolis Pick Tampa Bay +18.5 NY Giants +16 Detroit +22 Wanted to bet this at 5dimes, where the juice is -120, but ties lose there and the Detroit Lions was +21, so if they lose by 21, I would lose, so I need Detroit to lose by 20 or less. But at...

    Week 3, Day 5

    Clay Hensley burned me yesterday with an outstanding outing and Harang had one bad inning to garner the loss. Hopefully I can bounce back today. Problem is I like 10 games and want to bet them all, but I am either chicken or showing discipline, I am not sure which. My worst nightmare would be to...

    Week 3, Day 4

    I realize that Aaron Harang is hit or miss and I realize that when the Padres bats heat up, they can stay hot for several games. This is why I will make this a minimum bet. Cincinnati Reds, laying $111 to win $100 Reasoning: The Reds have been shutout 11 times this season and after the...

    Week 3, Day 3

    I hate taking Unders, so I will drop my bet from the last 2 days down a tad as I take: Washington/Arizona under 10, laying $105 to win $100 Reasoning: Not sure if the Dome will be open at Phoenix, but Tony Armas has a 2.98 ERA in Day games this season (compared to 6.15 at night). Armas is...

    Week 3, Day 2

    Houston/St.Louis over 8 -- laying $189 to win $150 Reasoning: The juice on this Over has shot upwards the last 60 minutes by 10 cents. The Astros have been shutout twice in a row, and although they are capable of having 3-or-4 game ruts like this, they are facing Jeff Weaver, with about a 10...

    Week 3, Day 1

    I have had 3 straight losing Mondays, so I have no idea if this play has a chance or not, but this is my bet for tonight: NY Mets/Florida over 8.5 -- laying $171 to win $150 Reasoning: This is a let-down or hangover game for Anibal Sanchez after the no-hitter last time out and Dave Williams...

    NFL teaser to end Week 2

    I am going to play a 4-team teaser today: Denver Broncos +9.5, Houston Texans +18.5, Jacksonville Jaguars +13, Indianapolis Colts +10 laying $240 to win $200 (5dimes) Reasoning: Broncos may get upset, but not by 10 points or more Texans are a much better Home team and should stay...

    Week 2, Day 5

    Like the Astros today. Houston Astros -112 -- $112 to win $100 Reasoning: I am hoping that Sheets won't go too deep into this game, therefore giving the edge to the Astros bullpen over the Brewers bullpen, besides the fact that Oswalt is more capable of going deeper into the game than Sheets...

    Week 2, Day 4

    Like the Grand Salami today. Grand Salami over 66 -- $157 to win $150 Reasoning: I have leans to most of today's games going Over, but more importantly, the Salami has gone Under 8 straight days and has had 3 straight "stone" Unders. A few of these unders have been "no action" due to...

    Week 2, Day 3

    I had to sign up at Mansion Sportsbook and take theur free $1000 bet on the Steelers at a Pick today and then turned around and bet Miami +1 at Pinnacle for $491 to win $450. This means: If the Steelers win by more than 1 point, I win $509. If the Dolphins win or we have a tie after OT, I win...

    Week 2, the trek continues

    Tough loss yesterday, but aren't all losses tough? I guess some are tougher than others. Minnesota Twins -1.5, $137 to win $100 Reasoning: The Twins have won 10 straight games Santana has started (3 of those by 1 run) and 19 of his last 20 starts (7 of those were 1-run wins). Jae Seo hasn't...

    Week 2, the trek continues

    I am going to try and low-key it for a while. May have been a bit too boisterous in my debut last week and although most forums were super-nice, 1 or 2 responded super-negatively so I will consider myself lucky to have had a good week and I will tone it down for a while and just make picks and...

    5-1, +$913, the trek continues, but

    I am taking the day and maybe the week off. Record 5-1, +$913. A few people have asked about me being 5-2. It is 5-1. Explanation: On the Away Teams bet on Tuesday, the Yankees game was rained out, and any time you have a rain-out on the Grand Salami Side or Total bet (mine was the side...

    Day 3, the trek continues

    Record 3-1, +$513 Philadelphia/Washington under 9.5, $210 to win $200 NY Mets/Colorado over 10.5, $212 to win $200 Reasoning: 1) I like Cole Hamels to bounce back strong from a horrible start last time out and Hamels has a 3.38 ERA during night games, while his ERA is over 8 in day games...

    Baseball Day 2

    Just a reminder that I am not a spammer or a tout, I hate both of those types of people, I am just looking to share some plays and a betting style that has goals. Also keep in mind that the "ultimate" goal is to win $1000 a week. That "ultimate" goal keeps me focused on the actual goal, which is...

    The trek begins, Week 1

    Brief Intro: A friend has wanted me to post on forums for a while, so I have been lurking for a few months on a couple to see how things work. It is unreal how tempting it is to just dash into someone's post and respond (whether to agree on a good point or strongly disagree on rookie mistakes)...
