First Spring game of the year (15-6 +$2053.00 +20.5 Units) last spring

CHOPTALK · Mar 1, 2007

Yea!!!!! Its baseball season again, my absolute first love when it comes to sports.

I pulled out all my money everywhere after Neteller just to see how everything would go after the Super Bowl. Well to my surprise, things look a little better than I thought. Still going to wait until after MARCH MADDNESS to redeposit real big money back into the sportsbooks. Right now all I have is some small change in BODOG, and that was only to play poker. Well Im making my first sports wager over there tommorow with there ridiculous lines,LOL just to get back into the swing of things.

The line for this game has not come out at BODOG yet, another reason I hate them, but we all know that spring lines are pretty predictable. I check the line at THEGREEK and its listed at +105. I expect the line to be close to that a BODOG tommorow, and when it comes out going to make my first baseball wager ever at BODOG, and my first sports bet since before NETELLER.

Im happy about getting the chance to get back to winning again.

Heres the 1st play of the season.

BALTIMORE +105 $100 for $105 (BASED ON OLYMPIC)

Im going to play the game at BODOG whatever the line is, assuming its close to this one.

Lets hope for another great spring, and good luck everyone.

I need to hear feedback from recent payouts at the following:

MATCHBOOK
WSEX
5 DIMES

I think I can survive the baseball season with just these 3. Going to miss Mansion and Pinnacle this year, dont think I have enough trust factor for trojan, even though they are a pretty decent baseball shop.

This goverment shit sucks I tell you.

Dont know how im going to handle this.

The 3 above are the only decent baseball books I trust. Going to limit us this year.

how do you cap these preseason games. I cant find info on pitchers or anything anywhere.

roach23 · Mar 1, 2007

if you wanna advertise records from last year, why don't you let everyone know your full baseball record?

and you wonder why people think you're a chump.

Because its preseason baseball.

Just like I did not included my preseason record with my regular season record last season.

I also did not post my 100 unit baseball season from 2005.

Preseason is preseason, and regular season is regular season.

Its 2 totally different things, and capping a regular season game is the opposite of capping a spring game.

gl on your season chop. i hope this year is like 2005

You can find pitching matchups for spring training, you just have to search around.

Local newspapers is the best place to look.

Here is my favorite link.
I promise, you can find all the info you desire with that link and then some.

http://www.hometownnews.com/

The best thing to look for in a spring is pitching rotations for the whole game and starting lineups. I know how to find all this info just from doing this for so long. And when you find out about a game when a pitcher is going to work on his situation game, like just his fastball, or just his new change up etc... these are the games to pounce on.
This is the time of year where pitchers try to learn new pitches. When you find out about a pitcher thats going to try to work on a slider or a curve ball that he has never had before, fade him. It will make you money over the long run.

Some teams treat spring differently than other. For instance the braves have been an average -110 favorite in spring since 1997, they have won only about 40% of there spring games during that span. These things are good money makers.

Even though it takes alot longer to cap a spring game than a regular season game, because the info is not neatly packaged. It takes alot of mouse clicks and going to a half dozen sites just for one game, but the ROI is much higher for these games.

Another thing I love about the spring, is the sportsbooks never take a huge stand on any side. You wont see too many games above -140 in the spring. I love it when I can pretty much pick any game straight up without having to calculate line value.

Tommorow its going to be Steve Trachsel vs Wes Obermueller in case you are wondering.

I really hope so. After long evalution, im not making wholesale changes to the way I do things.

Not going to let one negitive year change the way I do things. That would be foolish.

The only thing I have done differently is put alittle more value on the bullpens.

My capping is heavy on pitching, and real heavy on starting pitching. I have put the bullpens much more in focus this year. Going to consentrate on starting pitchers that eat up innings.

Heard it's bad to put too much emphasis on the starting pitcher. Only squares do that..

Only what I've heard not what I preach..

BigCat · Mar 1, 2007

Baseball season Love it! Chop I'll be checking your post everyday as I've done the last 2 years. BOL to you this season.

I dont remember CLEO.

Pinnacle was my ST stop last season.

This year is going to be a real adjustment for all of us.

Toddy2Hotty · Mar 1, 2007

Nine.com is terrible, How do you put up lines only 15 minutes before game time.

GreenMachine+ · Mar 1, 2007

Chop, Good luck this season. It finally is upon us, the greatest sport in the world. I live for baseball season and can't wait until we start hearing the crack of the bat everyday.

CHOPTALK · Mar 1, 2007
