First off, I'm an occassional wagerer. I'm sure you won't mistake me for a gambling genius. *LOL* Started wagering when I was in college with disastrous results. Lost $1600 in four weeks. Needless to say my wagering started and ended abrubtly. After graduation and a few years to reflect, I once again took an interest in sports wagering. It was only natural since I'm an avid sports fanatic (just ask yyz). I'm not here to sell myself to anyone, I just like to throw out my opinion on games, as well as hear what everybody else's thoughts are. I just got back from my 1st ever trip to Vegas (what a place). I can say I came out ahead, even if it was only $220. Of course, now I can't wait to go back. Must be that internal instinct to give the money back plus interest. *LOL* Ok, enough of my boring mini-biography. I just wanted to say hello to everybody. Here are my thoughts on 3 of today's games (05-11-02):

1) Orioles (-120) *1 unit* Play against the Rays until they prove they can win.

2) Yankees (-145) *2 units* Lily is much better than his 0-3 record. Yankees still have the best team money can buy, and they will win a lot more than they lose.

3) Diamondbacks (-260) *3 units* I know this is a huge line to lay, but I've been burned more times than I can count by that silly 1/2 a run, while the team wins. The Unit should come out firing after losing his last start.

Well that's it for my first post. Feel free to rip my picks or support them. In life it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, as long as you have your own opinion.

Welcome aboard, and congrats on your win in Las Vegas. I am up to my typical plays, as I recommended two looooooosers today!

Guys, Mike may not wager much, but he knows his sports! (He kicks everyones asses in our fantasy leagues year in, and year out!)

Good luck, and I STILL have your wedding card sitting here!

(Mike is a newlywed, fellas!)

Don't let her know you come here!:D


PS

Work on that post per day average! You DID make a stop in a couple years ago!

2-1 +3.8 units

2-1 +3.8 units

Well guess all it took to break the D-Rays out of their slump was me picking against them. It's a loss, but only my 1 unit play. (-1.2)

Yanks used some 9th inning magic to help me hit my 2 unit play. (+2)

The D-backs blew the lead then took it back in the 10th to help me hit my 3 unit play. (+3)
*NOTICE* Remember what I said about me taking the -1.5 runs to get the better line, only to watch the team cover by 1 run? Tonight's game is a classic example of the trap I used to always fall into. Guess I've finally learned my lesson. :D

Until tomorrow, good luck and God bless!
