2-0 today, hitting yet another dog as well as a +100, and both winning by at least 3 runs.
My posted picks (all of which I bet) are now 15-4-1 since July 5, and I think more than half the wins have been dogs.
One of my best runs in my brief sports betting career.
Nice lil run in my freebie SNGs, sooo parlay
MLB[955] MIL BREWERS v PIT PIRATES
F LIRIANO -L/M GARZA -R o9-115
MLB[959] ATL BRAVES v COL ROCKIES
C BETTIS -R/M FOLTYNEWICZ -R o12-110
MLB[961] BAL ORIOLES
Action +103
MLB[964] BOS RED SOX
S WRIGHT -R/T DUFFEY -R -1½-110
Very tempting to bet the Braves +164 in Colorado, but I just have a feeling they're going to lose today, so I'm going to pass.
Wish I saw Pitt/Mil at 8.5 earlier, but now it's at 9 -120 for the over, and I don't like it anymore.
So I'll just go with this one pick:
Detroit (Pelfrey) at Chicago White Sox (Shields) - Under 10.5 +100
Maybe I can finally break the Shields curse.
On the overnights, the Colo/Atlanta game is currently 10.5o-115
I got no idea if its gonna win, but I can assure you it closes higher.
more freeroll winnings, so booked tomorrow's parlay early, including

1 Parlay of 5 Teams X $6.10 = $6.10 $137.32
Horrendous luck.
This gem of a pick was almost surely going to win, then a rainstorm came in and sat longer than expected.
A delay turned into a called game about 30 min before the storm was to stop.
The maddening thing was that this was the only storm in the entire area of the country, and it had to land on Chicago in the bottom of the 7th.
:gay
I actually saw that and was thinking of your pick. I actually wasnt sure how sports book handled those sort of things in baseball. If the over had hit but the game was cancelled bottom in 7th do you lose (since you picked under)? If you bet Tigers moneyline do you win ? Or does the game have to go a full 9 innings no matter what for there to be action on any bets?
All sites have a rules section that covers issues like this. Generally speaking a game has to go 9 innings (or 8.5 home team win) for a total to have action. If you bet over 8 and its 10-5 in the bottom of the 7th and the game gets cancelled it's still no action.
I had UNC -35 a year or two ago at home vs Old Dominion. It was 77-0 and the coaches agreed to run the clock in the 4Q so it invalided the bet. Every sport is different.
Rules are important to prop bets as well. Some books have props that are action, some are "must start". This is very valuable in Basketball when a story breaks late that a player is hurt and wont start and play reduced minutes.
By the way - I have a bunch of PM's I need to respond too. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm traveling for work this week so I've had a hard time carving out time to respond. I'll try and hi everyone up over the weekend.

Tigers won on ML last night.
A regulation game is 4.5 innings if the home team is leading or 5 innings if tied or the home team is behind. If a game is called for weather before becoming a regulation game the game is wiped off the books as if it had never happened and has to be replayed in its entirety.
If the Tigers would of took the lead in the top of the 7th and the game was called before the Home Team batted they would go back to what the score was the previous inning and grade the bets accordingly.
The only exception to this is in the playoffs, where all games that are postponed for weather are considered suspended and resumed at the point they had to stop.
The rule above would have no barring for betting purposes. It would be graded a winner or loser as long as it went the 4.5 to 5 innings even in the Post Season.
