Kruser's Fav Play for Monday

From now on I am going to be posting my favorite play only. Most of you have seen the whole ordeal in the Rubber Room about Alan and that I am only a college student, but do not let my age fool you because I have excellent knowledge of baseball and I do know what I am doing when it comes to capping these games. Anyways enough with that, lets get on to the play for today. . .


Texas/ATL UNDER 5 1st 5 innings 4 units

I really expect both of the pitchers to come out strong in this game and get through the line-ups the first couple of times without much problems. Both of these pitchers; Young and Hudson have been great this year and I expect continued success out of them tonight. However with the Braves Bullpen ERA over 6 in the last month I am not going to let late innings runs ruin my game under. Along with the Braves bullpen, the Texas bullpen has been nothing special this year at all. I think this game will be low scoring into the late innings, but watch-out late because these bullpens can explode at anytime. Good luck on all your plays tonight!

kruser both teams have the travel issue.. texas coming in from florida and the braves coming from atlanta, not that really big of a deal... braves playing many rookies and without chipper's bat - have them last in the league in hitting.. hudson has pitched well, what you have to worry about is that powerful texas offense waking up and exploding..

would like to comment on your issue, if thats ok... there is no shame in what you did, we have all (or almost all) been in your shoes at one time.. most wish we were that young again... plenty of people from my age group (im 37 but have been wagering for almost 19yrs) have had to borrow money from parents, take out loans on credit cards, and other things to pay the man.. you owed money once and paid it (very comendable), nothing wrong in working out a payment plan, what is wrong is welching..

your fault was in wanting to bet so bad that you had to resort to betting with someone you didnt know,,,, and not taking the time to build a bankroll to bet with... the number one thing in this business is to have a separate bankroll, one that is just used for betting, you should be paid out of this bankroll a set amount (you decide), the rest should remain in the bankroll to build it -- to increase the bet size... nothing wrong with working extra, saving up as low as $500 and starting with $10 bets (2% of bankroll), then learn to protect that bankroll, that is whats most important, protecting bankroll keeps you in the game... If you learn anything -- learn this... sorry for rambling and wishing you great success, with your bankroll building...

Lets see if I add up the ages of the 2 of you (kruser & SSI) thats how many years I have been betting. I started booking 3 players get 6 hits for the night in Jr. High. for nickles and dimes. Later in life I moved on from Mantle,Mays and Snider(for the young guys al played centerfield for the 3 new york teams when i ws a kid) now its GOOGle,Ebay and Yahoo. Been a broker for 25 years. Kruser got to start and build it and keep the egos out of the way. You have a long life in front of you dont screw it up over betting an i think much safer on line. Size of bets is not nearly as important as money management. i bet now for fun $10.00 a game and mechanical systems and get as much of a kick as when I bet $100,s. Now of course I trade futures daily for larger sums. ANyhow control your money and your life will be nice. regards to you and ssi.

Good luck man we know you can cap

thx for sharing bobk... i remember you telling me those stories..

SSI - I stated previously in the story that I told earlier that it was the best thing that ever happened to me and I really believe that. It taught me how brutal the world of gambling can be and that you should always use good money management. I was not betting just because I needed to bet. The whole ordeal started out with a $50 bet and then I won pretty much everything from there on. Either way it WAS a mistake because I was winning with someone who I didnt know. As we have learned the last few days on this site, PEople are not who they seem to be on the internet! Either way I did make a mistake. I never had any plans of turning that $50 into $1,180 but it happened and when it did I expected to get my money. Thanks for the kind words though SSI I really appreciate it. I have recently emptied out the 5 poker accounts that I owned and put all of that money into a sportsbook. Been on a hot 4 day run and hopefully I can have continued success. Good luck SSI in all of your system plays. I think you are an excellent capper who is always looking for new ways to beat the books!

Good luck on your top play.
