Bucs

It seems you tend to always go with certain pitchers (Zambrano,Moyer and Bedard seem to have been picks several times in last month or so) and against other pitchers (Milton and up until recently Downs) and these patterns were winning early in the year but not doing too well lately. The last few weeks of the season seem like a very tough time to cap bases with many new variables. Just curious:Did you have good success in September bases last year? Hoping we can catch one more hot streek before end of season but that may be asking alot.

Either way, I appreciate your picks and insight this year in bases and you've had a great season especially considering no plays over 3 units. It's wait till next year again for the Cubs.

This is incorrect. For instance, just today 4.26 units was wagered on the Phillies, 3.80 units wagered on Atlanta. Most days, the favorite play is for over 4 units plus another unit on the runline (which, of course, is directly correlated to the ML play).

and unfortunately, I show Buc's picks as -8.29 units , not -7.10 today. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey Buc,

How have the playoffs treated you the last few years?

Nice year of solid picks thus far.

Almost everyone posts their plays as a "to win" amount so a 3 unit play is still a 3 unit play even though you are risking more on any favorite. Also RL plays are separate plays even though they may be on the same game. You are risking more on that game but not on that play as last few favorite wins ( Atlanta-Friday, Seattle earlier this week) won on the ML but lost on the RL.

As I noted that BucsFan lost 8.29 units. But since obviously you didn't bet what Bucs fan suggested, I don't have any idea what you lost.

I don't really care what "everyone" here refers to. When wagering 4.26 units, thats a 4.26 unit play. By your logic, if you bet one unit on a long shot to win the world series at 50/1, you would consider that a 50 unit play. I think most serious players see how ridiculous that is.

When betting on an underdog, your bet total is the risk amount (1 unit in your example) and on a favorite it is the win amount even though you are risking more. You can track your own results however you want. As stated a 3 unit play on a -150 favorite risks 4.50 unit to win 3 wheras a 3 unit play on a +150 dog risks 3 to win 4.50. That's how Bucs and several other "serious" players do it. It's just a matter of semantics. Get over it.

I guess you just don't have the mental ability to understand that when you take 4.26 units out of your pocket, thats a 4.26 unit play. What is important is the ratio of winnings to total amount risked, i.e. the return on investment. Oh, well ...
