When I see other pitchers in MLB priced as high as -250, -240. 235, on down, I must admit I chuckle. Yet tonight, I just took Kershaw and the Dodgers at -210 @5Dimes. Why? Because it is a fair price at home vs. the Padres and one of their fair pitchers. Not to mention Kershaw rarely blows two games in a row.
I wish I could convince myself, that there was really any value in wagering on NFL exhibition football, but I just can't. I'd certainly study long and hard. But we all know the real purpose of pre season NFL football don't we? Sorry, I refuse to be part of that circus. If you can select the winner of tonight's Steelers vs. Eagles game, vs. the point spread, good for you. I'm simply not into "flipping coins".
I want to go to bed happy tonight, after showing a profit by wagering on the team with the only legit chance of winning at any price. Kershaw at -210, vs. the Padres.....its like Christmas Eve. Every now and then, we must swallow some chalk. Its all part of winning.
