Gambling thread for May/June

Recommended Posts

Watching the Cubs give up a 4-0 lead within 2 innings to be trailing 6-4 is as big of a kick to the nuts as I can imagine.

NYM/Det over 8.5 (2 units) WINNER!

KC +100 LOSER

Nationals +320 WINNER

Padres -150 (4 units) LOSER!!!!!!

 

 

Not a terrible day I suppose. Padres keeping their lead would have been incredible for me but the Nationals pulling out their win at +320 was like hitting for over 3 units. I'll take what I can get. F'in Padres. Haven't even looked at today's offerings but will post them in a couple hours.

Breaking even for the day and riding into Tuesday with a clean slate. Still don't know what I wanna do for Game #3. Have Spurs to win the series a couple different ways but think Cavs might show up for this one. Don't see Spurs sweeping them but also really hard to bet against them after seeing how good they've been doing at home. Maybe I'll just stick with all the baseball instead.

What a focking disaster!!! The upsets I take lose and my sure fire favorites end up getting upset. Was hoping to ride out my winning streak a little further and maybe start off the week high in the plus column. Oh well, Spurs are only a game away. That'll help out my week ending total as long as they can finish the Cavs off in game 4 or 5.

Glad that I stopped posting baseball. Call it a jinx, but I've been doing well since I stopped posting, hammered Oakland run line and LA Dodgers last night. I think I'll stick to my bread and butter with posting at FFT, football.

 

Canadian is right around the corner. :lol:

 

I'll add some games later.

I've pretty much taken a slight decline the past few days. Was doing great then took a drastic turn for the worse. Hit the 3 1pm games today then lost a couple since. Oh well. The other day I got bored working graveyard shift and actually figured out my stats since posting at the beginning of the thread. Broke it down by games W-L and also in units

 

Games: 44-34

Units: 59-50

 

Kinda thought it would've been better but still in the positives. I think the last few postings really made it worse. I like your picks for today PhillyBear. All of your high unit games look good except for Seattle so far but it's not over yet and they're a hell of a lot better than Houston. Are you still messing around with baseball too GridIron?

It's a weird dichotomy. I have tremendous luck posting football at this site, but struggle with other sports. The only time I've posted plays in the last week was Saturday, which was the only losing day I've had in the last 8 days.

 

Some of these games are in progress. Let's see what happens. If it comes out profitable, I'll try to post again.

Good going so far on your games PhillyBear. I decided to try something different for a week and see where it gets me. Starting Monday of this week I decided to only bet up to 4 games a day. Taking the longest win streak, against the longest losing streak, and the 2 biggest underdogs. For instance, Today I took Detroit (4 game winning streak) Padres (Baltimore on like a 9 game losing streak) and took Cincinnati (+220) and Phillies (+200). The streak thing usually works for me if I'm undecided on a game I'll go with their w/l streaks. And the idea of taking 2 big dogs came from a buddy of mine. Always took 2 heavy favorites and then he had to hit them both to come out ahead. Always seemed to go 1-1. Figured if the dogs work the same way, I'll slowly get ahead. May turn out to be really focking stupid of me so only trying it for this week. So far between Monday and Tuesday I'm 3-4. (Only took 3 games yesterday because Baltimore was biggest losing streak but also big underdog. Used my common sense and just stuck with Padres).

Hell, if KC covers, I'm gonna rub a couple out. They regained the lead. :rub:

 

Good luck with the system. If it is hitting, come back and tell us, so we might follow.

Went 1 for 4 yesterday too. The system seems to be sucking a$$hole so far but will finish out the week. Wanna look and see what seems to be hitting the most too between the streaks or the dogs and maybe just follow those through in the future. Will update with stats Sunday night or Monday.

Jinx or not. I am officially not afraid to post AFL on this site. And with Canadian about to get going in a few days....football is here. :dunno:

 

I was fortunate enough to watch the 2nd half of the Phila/Orl 2nd Half. Philly completes the comback in the first half to tie, and completely dominated the 2nd half. Nice way to start the football week. 63-49.

I bet online with a local middleman, so I don't use offshore books. We get a lot of chatter in the football threads on the Main Bored during the season, and they always know who to go with. Giants Rule is always whoring out his book for signup bonuses. I will post AFL plays again this weekend on the Main Bored, so post there, and you might get some responses.

 

Good luck.

I go through a bookie but also go through. TheGreek.com I've been with them since football season and never had a problem. Took some $ out when the Ducks won a few weeks ago and they Western Unioned it to me the next day. I recommend checking out sportsbookreview.com they rate and recommend sites so you can pick which is the best for you. Good luck.

Colorado gives up 3 runs in extra innings. This is just like college hoops this year. I couldn't win in OT then, and now I keep losing in extras in bases, over and over again. Yuck.

After the Rockies debacle, it was nice to hit Detroit 2nd H in the WNBA. Down 7 at the half, and down 16 points in the second half, those focking ugly women rallied big time to win by 3 points, and hit my 2nd half play. God bless those 'hos. I wanna fock every last one of them.

Arena Football for 2 units

Columbus (-2)

Kansas City (+6)

 

Arena Football for 1 unit

Austin (+9.5)

Grand Rapids (+13)

 

Columbus and New York need to win to make the playoffs. Both are stumbling down the stretch. While Columbus has been somewhat competitive in their 5 losses in a row, they were against some of the best teams in the league. New York has been completely dominated for 3 games in a row. Columbus is the better team, and coming off a close loss to Philly puts them in a better mind set than New York, which lost by 54 points last week.

 

Kansas City and Chicago is another game for playoff seeding. Kansas City has won 6 of 7 games, and somehow continue to be the most underrated team in the AFL. Chicago has done decently as well, but much of their success is due to forcing turnovers, and the law of averages will even that out eventually. However, I'll take the points in a toss up game between two pretty good teams, even though I think Kansas City is better.

 

Taking points with a suddenly competitive Austin team, and taking the points with Grand Rapids in an overlay. Although both are playing teams that need wins, in those situations, teams tend to play conservative and feel the pressure.

 

Good luck to all.

Taking San Diego (-136) for 4 units tonight.

 

Backing impressive Chris Young, and fading inconsistent Wakefield. SD was snakebit last night, but have a very good chance of taking this game. Boston has basically been playing around .500 ball on the road lately. I don't feel fully comfortable backing the light hitting Pads, but the pitching mismatch dictates this play.

Dallas needs a win to win their conference. They are the top offense and their QB has a shot to set some records with some TD passes. Colorado is overrated, is on a 3 game skid, but have clinched a playoff spot, and can't really improve their seeding.

Stupid baseball continues to be a daily roller coaster. Colorado scores 6 runs in the ninth to take the lead, then blow the save.

 

Went 6-1 in the AFL this week. Might be time to start to phase out the other sports a bit, and concentrate more on football; basically the AFL playoffs and CFL regular season. It's just too much of a daily grind right now with so many sports going on.
