-Newman- First Posted Picks

-Newman- · Jun 6, 2006

Well, as a rookie gambler and as a rookie on the Rx, I figured it's time for me to start betting on baseball. So these are my first picks of the year and my first picks ever posted on the Rx ( please feel free to fade, at least I'd be helping ). With everyone seeming to be having a pretty bad year, I figured what better day for a rookie to start picking than 6-6-6. Besides, if I lose, I'll be joining a pretty good group of friends on the bottom, right?

As explained before, I'm a big rookie (first online picks); hence, I'm a very low limit player until I get the experience. I also only have 1 book as of right now ( yes, I know, just call me a loser ).

Well, Here We Go ... I'll probably be the Rx's best fader.

Round Robin - 2 Team

A : Washington @ Atlanta : Over 9
B : Chicago @ Houston : Over 9
C : Boston @ New York : Over 11

A-B ... $25 / $61.35
A-C ... $25 / $54.60
B-C ... $25 / $62.85

Straight

San Francisco : Game -1.5 ... $50.00 / $55.00

Like I said, I'm starting out as a low-limit player ( $25 / unit ), so please don't poke fun. Well, here's the picks so feel free to fade.

PatrickMcIrish · Jun 6, 2006

Good luck Newman, nice to see you joining the internet's #1 baseball forum. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere.

TomorrowsNewspaper · Jun 6, 2006

Helllllloooooo NEWMAN. (not the same without the Jerry Seinfeld accent)

good luck with your plays

-Newman- · Jun 6, 2006

ty all ...

Seeing how well this bridge between the online poker world to the online sports bettig world goes. There is reason behind the madness of my picks, but would like to see how my picks go for a week or so before making a dumbass of myself on the reasoning to you all.

:smoking:

Newspaper: Thanks for the Seinfeld. Believe it or not, that's the FIRST time someone has said that to me.
:nohead:

Well Newman, were on the opposite ends on the SD/MIL o/u but good luck to you in your other wagers.

-Newman- · Jun 6, 2006

ty Addict ...

I think the whole Rx forum is on the opposite end of the SD / Mil game. But then again, a good majority of the Rx forum is losing ...
:dancefool

Just Kidding !!! Like I said, there is a method to the madness. We'll just have to wait and see. I know one day isn't going to prove anything.

June 6, 2006
0-5 -6.15 Units

Year To Date
0-5 -6.15 Units

Well, I hoped everyone listened to the "best fader" comment and I actually helped a few people win.

#1 ) Why did I pick 6-6-6 for my first date to pick my first baseball picks ever?

#2 ) Why in all the games I picked *over* that all of them were on ESPN's Top 10 Plays for defensive catches?

Someone up there has put a damn good hex on me ... lol ... I think it's harder going 0-5 than 5-0!!!

Well, lemme put my system into effect again and allow people to fade me for a good day.

Keep fighting! You keep working through it and you'll do great. Good luck.

PS...if your name is NEWMAN in the real world, then I'm sure you hear "Helloo Neeewman" all the time.

However, just understand one thing: it gives joy to people when they say it. It is one way that people can have a positive moment in their day because of you and you don't have to do anything at all. It is a positive, not a negative though I know you are sick of hearing it if you are named Newman. In fact....please, if you will...bear with me.

"Hellooooo Neeewman...."

See, you have made me smile this morning and have done it by just being. Thanks. tulsa

gbogo · Jun 7, 2006

you have a rare talent

-Newman- · Jun 7, 2006

Tulsa : I'm glad I can start you off right for the day.

Gbogo : Yes, I know I have a rare talent. Like I said, going 0-5 is 100x harder than going 5-0.

Overall, yes, I'm pissed off; however, just like in poker, if you can't take the losses that come with the game, than gambling is definitely not for you. I just hope I turn it around, is all.

Maybe, the Rx has a curse this year on people that post their pics. One day, I won't post my pics and we'll see where I end up.
