<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2 height=3><SPACER width="1" type="block" height="1">the object of the game is simple. I will list 5 games (w/ listed starters) and you guys try to guess what the line is going to be...not what it SHOULD be neccessarily. The person who is the closest to the Vegas lines wins. Points are given for every cent you are off on the moneyline and the winner is the person with the least amount of points.

if there is a pitching change on any of these games, that game will be voided from this contest.

this contest is also a great tool for baseball betting because you should all be doing this anyways :103631605

cubs -128
sf -122
cin +130
Oak -105
Sea +140

in other words,

cubs -128
sf -122
lad -138
oak -105
laa -148

it will make my scoring easier if you just list the 'favorite's' line (using pinny's 8 cent line format) because i use your favorite line (in each game) to determine how many points you get...

it will be a wonderful day when this thread has more replies then the typical 'I have a huge bow wow doggie dog crazy parlay lock of the millenium going...help me root it in...i'm the best handicapper ever!!!' or a 'Bruce Chen sux' thread.
