the "great" value debate

thatoneguy · Sep 11, 2009

i'm wondering if all the "value" bettors are taking the nationals tonight? everyone and their mother is picking florida and the line hasn't budged. because in this situation, florida looks, smells and acts like the gg of the season, aka, they're overpriced. do they win this game >73% of the time? what about the orioles? a >300 fave is ridiculous, yankees or not.

now i'm not saying any of these are locks, winners, etc(philly money must be tippin em back) but it seems to me a value bettor's card would look awfully funny today.

in fact, anyone on wash, balt or the mets(how you can ever bet a mets game, for or against, i don't understand) post your bets up

Well I felt incredibly dumb after laying this bet but oh well, just felt like I was due for some crazy luck.
I took 4 3-team parlays with Nats, Mets, As, and Rays. Pretty sure I spent $100 on a losing lottery ticket but didn't like anything on the college game tonight.

Out of the Value plays I think the Mets may be the best play tonight man.... Phillies haven't really been playin that well lately...

i agree, if i had to pick a winner of the bunch, it'd be them. but making bets involving the mets is like getting ryan leaf drunk. who knows wtf is gonna happen

Ain't no better value on the board tonight than St. Louis at home with Pinero on the mound off of a day's rest at only -130

value doesnt have to be on huge dogs, most of the time there's not much value in them actually

value is there, where the price on a team or pitchers should be much higher, than it is..

i never said they have to be dogs, huge or not. i actually agree with the stl comment(should be mid 150's imo) and happen to think bos and hou are a bit underpriced as well.

No Chipper Jones for ATL either and the line is now higher on STL than it opened out, so the market corrected that line.

Lol damn went 2-1-1 with my big dog round robin, ill take it. TB was looking hot the couple batters before the rain, but ill take a push. Too bad I tool Mets over Balt, they are looking good atm.
