Do people sometimes feel like betting totals is for suckers?

CHOPTALK · Jun 25, 2005

I dont play near the totals some people do, I just feel its a crap shoot half the time. Look at this Braves game today. I did not bet the total by the way. I do have Baltimore on the moneyline. But the score is 0-0. There is no way to predict something like that. You have a Braves pitcher who is making is first start of the season with an Era over 6 comes in and throws 5 innings+ of shutout ball.

I think I will stick to moneylines.

I get the same feeling sometimes. The last couple of weeks I have had games where the starter did things he hadn't done all year. I went against Lima a few weeks ago and he throws 8 innings of almost perfect ball. I bet on Contreras a couple weeks ago and he looked like he couldn't get a guy out. Today I had a small parlay on Balt with the over. Figured that this Colon guy making his first start against a good Baltimore lineup would factor into runs. Chen averaging giving up 4 runs his last 6 road starts without giving up less than 3 in any of them and he goes 5 innings without giving up a run. This Colon kid has given up a run in 7 out of his 10 1 inning stints and multiple runs in 5 of them. He starts today and gives up 0 in 6 innings. :monsters-

couldnt tell you how many times, ive swore them off... some people do have a feel for them however.. when in doubt, bet the under..

Ouch, would be a rough way to lose the BALT/ATL game with 8 runs being scored from the 7th on so far.

I find them tough, but Winning Systems sure likes them.

Hope get your Balt. side Chop, bases loaded as I type.
