Pretty much a regular
YTD +4600
4-3 last
1-0 GS - Gotcha!
But it got close to going over which I love because it just makes those 90% (probably closer to 95%) that bet over more convinced over is the play. Bank even certified that because he said his friend was excited because it got close. "Due to go over". Mike also said maybe we should lay a little low because it could go over soon. Not a bad idea and I don't disagree but look at how we think about this.
No one wants to bet the GS under. No one. Even though we are making money hand over fist even we are thinking maybe over will come. We have been brainwashed by the books over the years. And I promise you over will win. Eventually. But I also believe in the full faith and failure of today's hitters. Last night my GS was 141. Others had higher. Total runs scored was 137. There were probably a dozen chances and many with the bases loaded to score 5 more runs to bust it. But it didn't. Does that mean it won't happen? Of course not.
But let me tell you what the dynamic is now. Nothing has changed. Not for the over bettors. They are sure it's coming despite how many losses they have each day and even after over finally wins they will keep betting over each day just because. Certainly not for the books who will keep padding the overs. Why? Because they know 9 out of 10 bettors go over and they will be damned if they are going to reduce the padding and maybe allow 90% more winners. I wouldn't do that. Would you if you were a book? No way. Is it possible they will make the padding +4 1/2 runs instead of +5 1/2 runs? Yes. I have seen it, but I doubt seriously they will do that because remember they beat all those over bettors last night ..... again. Lowering the total won't make less over bettors it will just give them a better chance to hit the GS over. Have you ever seen a book give a chance to their customers. In over 55 years of betting, I never have.
Back to Mike's idea of going lower for a while. I agree. You should go slower because over is bound to hit. And I will go slower as well. Unless on a 15 game card the books put up a GS total of 140 or higher. If they do that, I am going to go hunt their ass down again.
All x50 each
SD ML -120 - Hate these non hitting Padre assholes but Wacha is more solid than Kirby and you can bet I never thought I would say that.
Detroit +2 1/2 -160 - Wheeler's last says give the Tigers and the new kid a chance to stay close.
Miami ML -170 - Cabrera a lot more solid than Lyles.
TB ML -140 - Even coming in to start from relief Armstrong looks better than Lopez who got shelled in both of his last two starts.
Cinn +2 1/2 -170 - Thor pitching really badly his last two starts. Williamson looks decent enough to keep Reds close. Dodger pen also iffy. This is a classic example of names instead of performance by "Thor" and "LA". Cin really should be a -120 favorite at home in this one. Very solid straight up dog at +140.
STL/Texas under 9 1/2 - Both starters very solid.
As for the GS, the true added total of all games is 135 as of right now. They will add at least 5 1/2 runs and it will go to around 140 1/2. I will use some discretion and only go 300 not another 500 under the GS but I should just go after them because I capped just as many unders as overs today. Let's see if ivmike can turn me into a good money manager instead of a rampaging beast. GL :rofl:
