Does the line on Oakland seem low to anyone else?

I thought at -112 it was stealing, down to -109 now? I know Texas hits lefties fairly well, especially at home, but Zito despite getting pounded last time has done well against this team. Covers has the team 21-5 in his last 26 starts against them and Oakland is playing good ball these days, very good ball. Thats not even mentioning the guy throwing for Texas, isn't he 1-8 for his career and having problems with a blister on his thumb? I'll double check that as I was doing both football and baseball when I first capped this game, but either way does anyone else got any opinion? Before I buy some more and regret it I'd like to hear from any Texas backers out there. I at least thought I would have a nice opportunity to buy back at a profit. Not so yet.

Pinny still has -112, Cascade has -113, the exchanges you can do better than that. Weird.

Texas just coming off losing 3 of 4 to Tampa and hitting .195 against lefties their last 10 games. Not sure why but this is starting to scare me.

It's because the bookmakers know what they are doing and don't want all the sharps loading a bunch of money on the Rangers and winning.

Bet Texas in this one and see what happens. It just makes too much sense to play the A's in this spot.

It's too late for me Donkey, I already got a ton bet on this game. A ton of money at least by my standards, 20 times more than what I would normally wager for a 1 unit play. I was confident the line would move in my favor, looks like I am dead wrong. My only decision is to get off now and take some loss or wait and see what happens.

I think you are right, Texas is going to end up winning, no way can I gamble on the A's for this whole amount. WTF was I thinking? Sigh.

WHEW!!!

Escaped with the A's yesterday, wish I had kept it all now, LOL. For today (Saturday) I am trying to figure out why LAD total is going up? Can't believe the total is up to 9 1/2 now? WTF is going on.....

Quick look at plays today...

LAD
**LAD U9-
Cin U9
SD U9
Det
Oak
Pitt


** - lot of $$$ in play here. Not sure why total is rising? Neither team hitting much of late and both pitchers throwing very well. Last 7 outtings for both guys combined have all gone under, Lowe in fact has given up only 1 ER in 3 of his last 4 starts. Hoping for a 4-1 type of game, Dodgers winning.

Yeah I can't lie, I got off a BIG piece of it, LOL. Took a lead on a game I thought everyone and their mother would be on the A's but line didn't rise as much as I hoped. Of course the plan all along was to buy back and get off some, I just expected to lock in a profit somewhere along the line. In the old days I had a bigger set on me, I would have been confident enough in my opinion to just keep it all anyway, not so these days. Almost tripped on my skirt I ran so hard to the window to sell some off.

Love the Dodgers under tonight, not sure what the hell I am missing, Lowe has really found his groove lately. To be safe I could play the Dodgers for a little more as well, if I do lose the under I think it will be because Batista throws a horrible game. Just can't see this game going over and Arizona winning, been wrong before though. Anyway you got anything you like Bills? I don't even know, what sports do you like to cap the most?

Good luck, with your action tonight and Fish, LOL. Seriously though, great guy you got, I really respect him. Both his knowledge of the gambling world and him as a person. Don't think I have met many nicer guys in my time.

Thanks Patty....I will look at the Dodgers total a little more closely. I like to cap all sports LOL with college hoops and NFL being my favorites. FWIW, I like Buffalo at home tonight against the Browns -3'......Maybe at some point I can meet you. Fish also has great things to say about you!! We should all go on the Sterling some time......GL tonite

Sounds good, I'll talk to Fish and try to set it up. In Biloxi now but going to be back in Tampa around September 12th for the rest of the month, maybe then if you guys are available. This sucks going back and forth but no choice right now....

Appreciate the NFL pick, I will look it over, hope it's not a homer pick. I suck when I cap football, far and away my worst sport. I can make money by doing other things but when I have an opinion on the NFL it usually cost my ass some bucks, LOL. Thanks for the play. Talk to you later.

Wasn't 4-1 Dodgers winning, it was 4-3. Pretty close. Overall 5-2 for the day, going to keep this lucky thread going, see if I like anything to gamble on today.

Screams under to me.

You talking today Dub? That post about Dodgers under was yesterday, just in case it confused you. Haven't looked at Dodger game yet today but you saying you like it under?

So far I am intrigued by the Brewers under. Both those guys have been red hot of late. Let me see what else is going on. What else do you like?

Playing for Sunday:


Milwaukee +107
Milw/Fla U8- (-109)
Atl/Wash U10 (-101)
SD 117
KC/Tor O10 (+101)



Bet them all but that Milwaukee total at Pinncale. Played that one at Cascade. Don't fear near as confident as yesterday, I did these in a hurry too. Prolly like that Atlanta under the best. Good luck all.

Thanks Dub, I'll check it out. Good luck today man, would love to see you hit that parlay. I noticed you took Brewers under as well, that's a good sign.

Just took the Brewers myself........looking at Jays over. GOOD LUCK

Yeah Capuano has been great of late, hope it continues. Playing the side might have been smarter than playing both the side and the total like I did. Marlins have been feasting of lefties of late, game could easily go over. Oh well, too late now. I just hope I didn't hurry through this today, certainly don't have one strong play that I feel extra confident about like I did the last few days. We'll see...


Yeah I played your pick but only a half unit, same thing I put on my Tampa +3- play, it also turned out the same way your play did. LOL. Keep me posted though, I am clueless on football when it comes to capping games. You take anything today BTW? Good luck girl, let's earn some dinero.
