WHO NEEDS MARCH MADDNESS?!!!!

Chicago WhiteSox -119 $357 for $300 :money8: :money8: :money8:

A little chalky for a spring game, but this is a perfect example of what I was talking about yesterday. The linesmakers wont go out on a limb in the spring. This should be -170++

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

So how do u have this capped Im just curious. Rush Vs J vasques they both r nothing special. Rush has pitched like 9 innings this spring with a 7+era, Vascuez has pitched 1 total inning. I read the post u answered eariler but Im very intirested on how u cap because it is a hobbie of mine and i like to learn new things.

As far as offensive rankings wht kind of ranking system etc do u use. Yes I tail/ and will tail u but Im just very curious. I would love some input to help me be better.

Spring is totally different than the regular season. Its night and day. Starting pitching matchups dont mean a whole hell of alot in spring training. Although I favor the starting pitching matchup for the Whitesox, I look at the bullpen rotation and the lineup rotation for the whole game.


You asked me about offensive rankings. I dont have offensive rankings. That has nothing whatsoever to do with how I cap.

I cap the moneyline, not the game. If you can understand what I am trying to say about that I would be very impressed. My style is almost a 180 degree opposite of everyone else. I dont look at 1% of the things that most look at. 99.9% of the things that most people spend hours a day capping is already factored into the moneyline. These people are not capping a game, all they are doing is confirming the line. Do you think for 1 second that the linesmaker does not know that boston is 52-36 playing on the road against teams with a less than .500 record comming off of a loss? Of course they do, and that is reflected in the line.

I laugh to myself at some of the numbers that some people study and they think that they are really doing something. All I do is give each team and each starter a power number and compare it to the line. After years and years I have it fine tuned to know exactly what the power numbers are worth vs the moneyline. 8 straight years of winning proves that.

Its not as hard as people think.

You can pick the names out of a hat for all I care, keep up those winners. I'm with you all the way today. During the week I usually miss your picks, I'm at work by the time you post and the lines come up at my book. Lets make up for it this weekend.

how do you come up with your power numbers? suppose that this was a regular season game with this line. if you have the time, can you give us a quick run through of how you'd go about capping it?

Reminds me of September baseball between two teams that are out of it. Everybody is focused on the NFL and you catch the Bookmaker napping in baseball

Good Job

Good Luck

Not to put too fine a point on it, but there is no such thing as a baseball 4-6 team parlay that is "likely to pay." Heck, I've killed myself with 2 teamers, to point where I've sworn off pretty much ANY parlays. But that's just me.
