I LOVE L.A.! Reason #1 - We backed the Lakers as our NBA Paid Play, and they cruised past a strangely discombobulated Celtics club to tie the Finals at 3 games apiece and force a pivotal game 7 on Thursday. Another NBA winner in the bank, moving our NBA Playoff run to 8-2, and our Paid run to a blistering...

I've been wanting to use this expression for about 2 months, so I'm going to enjoy it. BACK TO THE WELL! For the first time maybe all year (I'll check on this), we backed the same club on back-to-back nights, and that club came through. We had the Dodgers as our Free Play Winner...

That sound you hear is the collective "Bebe University" letting out a sigh, because just as excitingly as it began, the NBA season has come to an end. And it ended with confetti and cash! We rolled through the NBA Finals, picking up ONE FINAL winner with the Celtics +7 last night to seal...

Another day, another winner! 21-8 Paid Run with Friday's victory! It's the weekend, and I'm by the Bay, so we'll take a slightly altered approach to the Saturday and Sunday blogs, and we'll just go ahead and get the lines up to be talked about in the discussion threads! Sports...

HAPPY FATHERS DAY, ALL! A little bit of a tough one for me (and my family), as this is the first Fathers Day since my grandpa's passing. As Dwayne Bryant always points out, make sure to show those you love how much you care. And, as I'll be traveling most of the day, today, one more "LEANS...

Curses! We lost one! Well, I guess we're human, after all. No biggie -- that loss does, however, snap our streak of EIGHT consecutive Paid Play winners, and drops us to a pitiful 10-2 on all plays over the last 8 days. Even more frightening, our Paid Play streak drops to just 22-9. That...

Someone poured a kettle of water on our Summer Sizzlin' play! Not cool. Back to a normal size card today, so we'll make back yesterday's one loss AND THEN SOME with some tremendous action coming up on this fine Tuesday. Still a vicious 22-10 Paid Run, despite 2 losses, and still a 10...

Well, to no one's surprise, things are evening out just a tad, and that's bound to happen. We had an absurd hot streak that went for about a month straight, and the early parts of this week (Sun-Tues) have taken a little of the wind out of our sails. So, in an effort to shake things up, it's...

Recap : Last night officially made up for one of our bad beats, because we absolutely stole one. I highly recommend checking out the Angels or Dodgers home pages and watching the video, but for those that prefer the written word, here's what happened: with runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs in the...

Recap : Well, what can I say? We ran into a game where we wanted the win more than the team involved. Why? Well, how about Takahashi literally been thrown to the wolves despite never really having his "stuff." It is what it is. I really wanted that $1 Capper play to come through for all you...

Recap : We had just one play yesterday on 50%-off Friday, and it was a fairly painless Winner! The road warriors of the NL West, the San Diego Padres, took care of the Marlins, 3-0, with another handful of scoreless innings of relief, and some high wire work by the starter, Clayton Richard. An easy,...

Recap : Not a spectacular day, not a bad one. We lost our Small Afternoon Freebie on the Brewers, but came back with a smooth Paid Winner on the White Sox, who won their 11th in a row, yet somehow remain undervalued. Both games were decided by a run, so I suppose things went as they should. Paid Plays...

Recap : I believe in golf I'd ask for a mulligan. The Seattle Mariners never woke up and got completely shut down by Chris Narveson. You really need to stink for that to happen, and we bet on 'em. The small Free Play lost, as well. I'd like to say there are a ton of lessons to be learned...

Recap : The Kansas City Royals pitched a dandy of a game, and despite some suspect defense, cashed yesterday's SUMMER SIZZLER Top Play at a slight underdog price of +116. That win improved the current Paid Run to 26-13, a mark that makes me very happy. The small Freebie is still in action. Today...

Recap : Had to wait until pretty darn late to finish the recap, as the Dodgers and Giants just ran this one until almost 1:30am ET! But, it was worth it, as the Dodgers captured another win against the NL West, and that netted us a Paid Winner as a nice underdog (+125)! We dropped our other Paid Play...

Recap : Well, I suppose an 0-1 day had to happen eventually, and I didn't do the Bebe crew any favors by taking a shot on a decent sized dog, but it is what it is. In retrospect, the Giants just weren't playing well enough to make that cut, but given Aaron Cook's horrid history against San...

Recap : Due to some time issues, I can't hang around to recap the Paid Play, but let's just hope it turns out as well as it looked like it should in my handicapping notes. We did, however, get a Winner on the Free Play of the Detroit Tigers, so at least we're heading into the late evening...

Recap : Game of the Week WINNER! I was out most of the day, so I didn't get to see how it unfolded, but the Texas Rangers took care of business, bringing home a nice 2* to move July back in the right direction! We gave a tiny bit back on a small Free totals play (Phi/Pit Under), but a decidedly positive...

Recap : Yesterday was a lesson in humility, and as I preach on "Today in Sports Betting," everyone needs to be constantly learning and evolving. Late Saturday night, when I was doing my handicapping, I got the news that TV and Internet had been shut down by Comcast, inexplicably, in my home...

Recap : Some rain later, and the whole thing comes to pieces. I don't know what it is about rain that just causes havoc in the handicapping. You'd think when your opposition loses its starting pitcher, it'd be a good thing, but suddenly the game isn't at all what you handicapped, and...

Recap : Well, we already know nice and early that the Angels can't hit a lick. Tough loss on the Small Freebie. Plenty of time to make that back in the evening. We had confidence, and the Toronto/Minnesota Over hit to get us back in the positive for the day. Another Paid winner, now 31-19 Paid Run...

Recap : I suppose I can take this paragraph to recap the plays posted on Friday night, since the website crashed, and we haven't talked Bebe-plays since. We lost our Small Freebie on the Astros, but as is often the case, with those longshots, I can't stress enough when something is a small play...

Recap : The second half begins just the way the first half ends, with a sweet, succulent victory! It sure as heck wasn't easy, but the Sox pen gave up just 1 run, as usual, and after 1 ungodly inning, John Danks was superb. Yes, a little luck helped, but the Twins continued to come up a buck short...

Recap : Dan Haren got a boo-boo. Paid Play clunker. Moving on. Today : It's time, my friends. We've been able to watch half of the teams play 2 games, and the other half play 1, and it's pretty clear who decided to put their cleats back on, and who did not. And thus, with some very friendly...

Recap : Everything was pretty good until out number 27. Cliff Lee might have been left in there one batter too long, and it burned us. His pitch count wasn't too high, but Youkilis had hit the ball hard most of the night, and I'm honestly a bit surprised that Neftali Feliz wasn't brought...
