My 2 late added plays from last night ended up as a split. Phillies losing the lead to the Brewers, however the D-backs doing what I thought they would, make us wonder what the hell happened to Timmy(SFG)!
Now that puts our 2014 MLB record for all at
12-5 +705 units
10-5 Money Line +505
2-0 Totals +200
No Run Line plays yet this year but will have some when the time is right.
While looking at the 5 losses this year I wanted to point out what I was stating last week. "Not giving up to much juice." Losing those big games is just tough to swallow and takes more than 1 or 2 games to get it back on the positive side. Losing valuable days in a season will hurt your unit count more than a record. 4 out of the 5 losses I have this MLB season were dogs and only 1 favorite. Limiting your losses is huge. Some bettors with 3 losses have more units lost than I do at 5 losses. So just pay close attention and set a line for yourself. For instance only pick games that are -130 or less. Just a suggestion. However its your money, so do what you like!
How about the Miami Marlins today taking on Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals. Lots of squares putting dollars down today on the Nats. To the novice bettor, why wouldnt you, right? The Marlins who have just been aweful as you recall the previous seasons, a pitcher you havent heard of, and hey its Strasburg who we have been hearing about since he was in high school. So ya heres 220 to win a hundo. To me that is so much lost value and over paying for names/words on paper. Why not take the Marlins right? Plus money, a pitcher with a career ERA of 4.44, and a lineup that is hitting .281 vs Strasburg. Also this is not the bright and shining star Stephen Strasnurg of 2012, this is post injury, high ERA Strasburg. So for now I wont even touch that high number and lay all the Kool Aid. I will take the dog as I feel they are very live here!! I can stomach losing this game, but not if you backed the Nats. Your stomach would fall out and you would tilt your way back to the book and dig a deeper hole.
First play today will be my: big dog, fade the public play- (86% consensus picked for Nationals)
Miami Marlins +199 to win 1.99 units
Will have more plays today but wanted to post this type of value/fade the public play.
More posts later
Thanks,
