Seattle opened at +120 but i didnt get on the computer till 3pm. Anyways i took Mariners matchbook for +111. I think someone said if you take a favorite take them early but if you take an underdog, take it during as it approaches gametime to get the best line?

Should i have just waited till gametime which is pretty much now to have taken the Mariners? Right now i see +117 for the M's on Matchbook and I wished i didnt take them earlier for only +111.

Since i know most ppl would be on Twins tonight, i should have just waited right since the line for Seattle obviously would have gone up?

Forget the time, etc., etc., etc.
Why are you on the M's anyway?

I'm not quite sure what's the urgency.

Taking a dog as a + 110 or +120 as long as you believe you got a winner it's not a life or death situation. Unlike a spread on a football game where the line change can make a difference between a winner and loser.

You can sit in front of your computer all day and watch the line move :think2:


If you like something,just bet it.

Isn't the idea if you bet favs, bet it early and if you bet dogs, bet it close to gametime ?

Depends on what your looking for.....


You can start when the lines come out and wait up until gametime to see what line has moved,i like it that way most of the time.

You should also know who the public is on,then you can determine which why the line is moving.

Good luck my friend.....Be careful,gambling is a tough game.:toast:
