    Astros team total over 3.5 (alt line)
    trusting Astros offense is crazy

    SGP -145 ✅
    Mountcastle 1+ hit
    Orioles team total over 3.5 (alt)

    SGP + SGP = +204 ✅

    Some stupid Padres (Yu Darvish) are starting to hit and are facing Bo Miller Dodgers …. kinda interesting
    Soto .354 6HR 16RBI & Kim .435 4HR 6RBI last 15 days for instance.
    Padres are criminally dysfunctional and thus irresistible
    Dodged the Bobby Miller trap too

    Nice hit San.

    I explained my recent streak as:

    I’d guess 15 of the 20 bets is betting the Braves, Astros, and Texas to cover, or betting against the A’s, Royals, Pirates, Chisox. Also was betting Az to cool off.

    I’m just betting against the tankers to lose by 2 every day and they’re living up to their futility
    Braves won by 8. Astros by 4. Rangers by 4.A’s off. ChiSox lost by 2. Az lost by 1, which I’ve went ML against as they aren’t nearly the dogs the others are. I chose one of the only 2 possible losers on my list and I never back philly, so didn’t ever consider that one, and the run line would have been good on every other.

    Can’t win them all. I only care if I lose by 1 betting a ton of plus money run lines. My bet was a loser with the juice and when I’m wrong, rarely matters. Not never, but not often enough to think the ML is value this time of year unless it’s a -120 lean coinflip. Tribe, SF, Az, those are ML teams most nights. Run lines with the best and worst is value late imo.

    Every team loses 60 games even if great. I’m convinced post all star break, just betting against the shit teams is super profitable. I don’t have your ability to handicap spots. You know these teams way better than me.

    Just a general trend I noticed after ASB for last 3 years when I was betting Dodger run lines every night and Tribe to just win last couple years. Just blanket betting against the bottom of the barrel would be optimal, but don’t feel like having that many bets a night. I’d love to dig in and compile how profitable what I’m advocating would be if I blanketed it every night. Pretty convinced it is as I’ve struggled early every year and finished really strong. Will continue tmrw right back on the horse

    I was chatting with some really sharp kids in discord. Their bonafides and records are beyond reproach. Joan Adon (Nationals) came up. I said that he reminded me of the Johnny Cash song “A Boy Named Sue”

    The Zoomer Millenials (majority of the crew) went deathly silent and now I’m getting pilloried by the kids

    Queer nation. I forget sometimes it ain’t PFA out there

    There is a DK 100% profit boost for MLB today. If you are new it can be up to $25 I’m told. Take a look.

    Should ask the kids if they have ever heard of Dummy Hoy, or any of the other 15 or so old ballplayers nicknamed Dummy, and when they say no explain that nickname was because they were deaf.

    Watch brains explode.

    We on Syndergaard Cleveland -155 BCR? How crazy is that? Poor Druff

    Actually Kopech F5 plus money is prolly the correct play (avoid that trash trash CWS bullpen)

    Edit

    Parlay Cleveland & Mil or Tex or Reds….. Mil is the correct choice if you need help. Bailey Falter Pirates oh my bad


    I’m having fun with this card tbh. Dumpster diving for fun

    My wife has a $25 limit. I keep forgetting I signed her up. She has $200 and never deposited. I cleared her free bets and ignored her. DK had no problem with spouses at same IP. I asked

    Reds/Brewers parlay -105 with boost +190

    Brewers Corbin Burnes vs Pirates Bailey Falter 0-7 fresh from the minors.

    She owes me big time. I actually had her sign in and place the bet. This indemnified me somehow against any future complaints and ridicule. We will see.


    Padres Snell F5 vs Dodgers but 1000% bet Dodgers (live) bullpen when Snell leaves. Snell never lasts long.

    Red Sox -115 vs Jays
    Sox using opener bum Schrieber then Chris Murphy bulk. Vs Berrios.
    Did I already cover this?
    Anyhoo, was originally Pivetta for Sawks.
    I’m ok with this. Jays 9-23 vs tough AL East. Sawks murder Berrios historically. Jays can’t hit LHP (Murphy LHP). Jays missing Bichette and his hair. Jays are banned. I’ll flip vs the public

    Sorry. I’ve been extraordinarily busy, hence the baseball betting being my only vice as I don’t have time to go play poker or engage in any of my other degeneracy.

    I legit would have said hell no, just because that first outing was absolute fools gold. He put up like 5 plus innings with an earned run in his first start for us, but gave up-I’m kidding you not- probably five towering warning track shots that I thought were all gone off the bat.

    I’ll bet Allen, Bibbe, Williams, and even a Curry bullpen mix and match game for Tribe if they’re not playing a good team. I want no part of Thor or whomever else they start in the 5 slot atm.

    That opinion has nothing to do with being down 5-2. I actually only bet one game today with Rays -1.5 for Civale’s first start and lost it outright, so I didn’t do any better than that game. But I want nothing to do with Thor and he seems worthless and made of glass. He’s a few month signing and hopefully gone.

    Soccer really still is the gayest sport ever. I had no money on this game, but jfc. I try to get into this dumb game, and everytime I do it's a fucking 0-0 barnburner.

    Cut the teams in half, put them on skates, let them fight.

    Im 100% confidant if you gave me 24 hours and a $300 uber eats budget i could convene a panel of fellow football fans and solve the college football conference issues.

    One Major circuit consisting of four 16 team conferences broken down by two divisions

    One minor circuit of 64 teams set up the same way.

    Both have a 8 team playoff with the first round being the two division winners.

    While the playoffs are going down the two bottom teams in each major circuit division play and the loser gets relegated to the minor circuit. The minor circuit conference winner gets promoted to major.

    Literally solves all the major problems.

    Generally I'm a big fan of the promotion/relegation model, and this is probably the one American sport where it would actually work.

    I think the only hiccup in that proposal is the procedure used to select the bottom two teams.

    Red face

    Had a 3 in a row loss streak for first time since all star break. Had Dodgers Ml at + 120 yesterday. Bet it at the sportsbook local to me, which amazingly allows you to bet anonymously and doesn’t require tax information unless you win a bet 30x your wager. Shocked how this is flying under radar. Barstool within Hollywood property if you have one. It’s a racino and it’s like they’re using horse racing rules. No app. No cards. Keep your perks and free $5 bet. No license, nothing. Every sharp should rent an apartment as they can’t curb you if they don’t know you.

    Was down 5-0 and 3-0 on ML Dodgers yesterday and run line Texas and got lucky on what seemed losers.

    Love Braves run line. Keller has gotten beat up by lesser teams recently. The first I was at versus Cle.

    Somewhere around even money to -108 around. I’ll see what it is when I get there. Love this bet. Have to make sure not to toss baby with bath water and go overboard. I don’t run great on lead pipe locks.

    And I never mean to add faggot emojis to any post. There is a safari glitch on phone that makes me edit posts and I click them by accident. Being a grown man, I feel obliged to explain myself.

    Had to lay -109.

    Cashed $2200 ticket on dodgers game. Cashed $2410 ticket on Rangers as I had to lay -141 and hated it all the way until the end and it won. No license. No card. Have no idea who anyone is. Baffling to me in a world of curbing players. Not that I’m good enough to curb, but place has at least $5k limits on baseball and $1k on props. At least. I’ve bet those.

    The Braves were the cause of the greatest transfer of wealth since the Pandemic. -300 and parlays galore on a crappy slate. No doubt Strider was perceived as safe.

    Strider was 9.5 strikeouts but was juiced -135 to the under and I backed off. Everyone was auto betting the over cause it’s Strider and his ‘stache. I’m normally a Strider walk prop guy. The whole thing was spooky and I was fortunately creeped off of anything Braves

    My moral turpitude clause prohibited me from live Dodgers. Hate isn’t free. Oh well.

    Here’s one
    Parlay Matt Olsen & Cody Bellinger to each get a hit -105.
    My history with Bellinger makes this ironic but he’s been earning since he left the Dodgers. I’m a practical man

    Waiting for lineups
    I have Sawks boost 25% and I like Cutter Crawford. -154.

    Phillies I’m looking at right now
    Castellanos (bs Williams) Realmuto (bs Williams) Schwarber (vs Gray), Turner (vs Gray)

    Otherwise I’m waiting on lineups.

    BallParkPal. Open it up. Poke around Matchups and the like. Absorb it. Learn it, know it, be it. It will take time. Do it once a day. I shan’t mention it again. Teach a man to fish.

    Let this be your guiding light

    1 Braves
    2 Orioles
    3 Rays
    4 Dodgers
    5 Rangers
    6 Astros


    Lol laziness BCR. You will actually enjoy it with time. Palm to forehead things will pop up.

    Someone said they saw China on a podcast talking wagering. Dunno where or why.

    A surprising number PFA posters are sought out interviews about gambling. There is a difference when you are asked vs noisy social media self flagellation
