Week 2, the trek continues

[Ernie_Money]

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 hopefully reach most of my weekly goals.

I plan on taking the free $1000 Mansion SportsBook bet this week (today, actually), and then I'll bet the other side (Miami, for about half) elsewhere and look to get a free $450 or so, which will help my Week 2 goal out a bit. Hey, free money is free money. I'll post that bet and the hedge when I make it. Today, I like this one:

Houston Astros, $159 to win $150.

Reasoning:

Houston has won 12 straight games over the Phillies. They swept them all 4 series the last 2 years. Cole Hamels is coming off a gem, but his ERA is 8.53 during the day, while it is 3.13 at night. Clemens shows no signs of slowing down and the Phillies bullpen has been terrible, blowing 3 leads in the 9th inning and another lead in the 10th this past week and then they also lost in extra innings yesterday in Game 2.

Week 2: Record 0-0
Week 1: Record 5-1, +$913

As far As I'm Concerned U Dont have To tone It Down!!

As far As I'm Concerned U Dont have To tone It Down!!

If You Win .Tell the World and Celebrate..and I'll be there for one giving U all the Atta Boys U need...and deserve. Everyone in the Sports World likes to jump up and down..leap in to the stands and..all kinds of other behavior. Guys in the Business world wet their Pants when they make a sig amount of $$$. I see no reason why we cant celebrate and get accolades.
If You want to be Humble ..be my guest...if not.....go for it!!!!

Joe Namath set the standard for me back in the 1967 Super Bowl when he guaranteed a victory over Johnny Unitas and the Colts....as a 17 point underdog. Confidence and celebration only grates those who aren't on the bandwagon..........ie the losers. I just made a comment to u that 5 - 1 was a little early. at 15 - 3 ya can start crowing...and i'll be there to check what key your in.

G Luck and "Bury Em".............................

Ernie just keep doing what you are doing. I have been around here a long time and seen all ways of hitting goals. weekly monthly, season wise ect. As long as you pick up the cash, that is all that counts. Good luck and keep it going.

Ernie,

Love this astro play today! Roger has been lights out in recent starts,hopefully he'll get some run support. The Phils could be a little leg weary today after back to back doubleheaders.

GL. on this play!

gl with your plays....

just keep winning and no one will be negative towards you.

just don't disappear when you start going on a losing streak....alot of "flash in the pan" cappers online...they have a good week then go on a long losing streak and disappear.
