Baseball and Intro From the New Guy

[Old-Timer]

I've always found betting baseball to be very tough this time of year. Favorites that are in contention are way over-priced so you look at Dogs for value and then you get killed. So you decide your going to lay it with the inflated prices and you need to win 3 out 4 so you get killed. I've been around a long time and many years ago this was me, not so for many years I've learned.

Anyway I know the season's almost over but I would like to post some baseball plays for the rest of the year. There probably won't be many but I hope the ones I do post will show a profit. Just so know a little about me and the way I bet baseball is I never lay more then -150. I never lay -1.5 Runs with a home team. On occasion I will lay -1.5 Runs with a road team. I also don't play Parlays very often but If I'm running hot I may throw in a 3 team RR to pump up the B/R Yes I like to play around once in a while and take a 3,4 or even 5 team parlay all favorites on the run line you know tooth pick into a lumber yard kinder thing.

I'll also be posting College Football and Pro's. So far it's been real tough in College but I'm coming off a Big weekend in the Pro's. What surprise's me is it's usually the other way around. Once in while I'll give a one liner or two with a reason for a play but if asked a question about that particular play or any others I will answer you. Discussion is always good on a forum like this.

Today I played

T.BAY -136
S.Fran +131

Thanks and Good Luck

Tampa vs. Balt Game
O-Well that's baseball. I tip my hat to Balt for being down 5-0 and coming back strong. I thought coach left Nieman out there to die. It was clear that the second time through the line-up he had nothing. Again tip your hat to Balt for making adjustments. That's baseball. Maybe he wanted to see if the young kid could get back his groove.
You don't go from Genus (Last Year) to idiot in one year.
Actually that was a double whammy for me I have a ticket that say's Under 72.5 Wins for Balt and I Need them to lose 5 more games.


San Fran vs Colo Game
The S.Fran game was an easy win. Zito is having one heck of a 2nd half and I think it has to do with the pressure taken off him. Zito is just not a 1 or 2 yes he is being paid like a one and that I believe was part of the problem. I think he'll be fine and if the Freak and Cain stay healthy and they get in (Playoffs) it could be fun. O did I mention I have a 40/1 ticket on them. I also have a 30/1 ticket on the Tigers (My Wife made me do that) I got action.

S.Fran is a Very resilient team just when you think they're done there back.They're only two back in the loss column with one more game vs Colo and in my opinion the Rockies have a little tougher schedule the rest of the way then the Giants. Big game on Wednesday Matt Cain vs Jorge De La Rosa. Should be one helluve game.

Overall 1-1 Good Call Dirty on S.Fran
