I love this new manager, Cora from Astros. Zero bullshit. His press conferences and interviews are refreshing after Farrell
Aggressive approach with new analytics.
When Joe Kelly drilled the spikes up base runner and said, “you want some?” I knew then I was a goner and would fall in love
Remember last year? Pedroia saying after a batter was drilled by a Red Sox pitcher “it’s not me”. Pedroia hated Farrell and the organization. They were doomed to fail & did.
It’s okay to like Sawks now.
Good luck. Gonna parlay all 3 round robin & on the alternative -1.5 line.Quote:

I also posted an hour before game time on vegascasinotalk, where I mirror these picks: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...ll=1#post63769
And then there's the fact that I actually bet the game.
However, since I posted it on vegascasinotalk, and since I posted it here but in the wrong thread, I'm counting it. Especially since I keep my records for here and vegascasinotalk parallel, and always count PFA-posted picks that I forgot to duplicate over there, whether win or lose.
And if you don't like it, fuck you.
I did actually post three other picks in this thread, two of which won.
4/18 recap
Tampa (Faria) +110 vs. Texas (Hamels) - WON +1.110
Tampa/Texas - Under 7.5 +103 - WON +1.030
Washington (Roark) at NY Mets (Matz) - Under 8 -120 - LOST -1.000
San Francisco (Stratton) +141 at Arizona (Ray) posted here in wrong thread -- but also posted on vegascasinotalk, due to site glitch - WON +1.410
Total on 4/18:
3-1, +2.550
Overall record:
SEASON TOTAL: 19-11-2, +8.163 UNITS
Overs 0-1
Unders 12-4-2
Sides 7-6
I can't remember the last time there was a 0-0 tie after 9Quote:

Druff you're up +8.163 units. Have you thought about shutting it down for the year yet?Quote:

On a side note, Betonline is somewhat shitting the bed again, where it doesn't let me log in, or it keeps logging me out once I'm logged in. This was happening during their DDoS problems, so maybe they're getting hit again.
I find that tablet.betonline.ag is a working alternative, but I hate that interface.

Bored and wide awake, I’ll send pp to DD straight away , your bet to my $100 could do 2 50’s.Someone trusted who won’t post a joke line , cos I probably won’t check. 30-40 mins it’s open for. Edit it’s still open and will send to a trusted contributor .
Sabathia looks bad today.
Defense has been crap too.
Needs to turn around or be lifted or my under is toast.
How does Golden State not cover? The first two games have been blow outs. Pop won't be at the game. I honestly don't see the "win one for Pop" overtaking the extreme skill disparity in this one.
GS -3.5 pretty big bet for me
I have mixed feelings about this game, and am not touching it.Quote:

In general I don't like betting NBA playoffs because there's too much visibility, action, and attention, and it becomes damn hard to beat the lines.
Late game:
Boston (E. Rodriguez) at Angels (Tropeano) - Under 8.5 -115
Boy this Yankees under is tough.
Just when I think I'm gold when it's 4-2 in the 8th, Toronto loads the bases with 1 out, scores, and it's 4-3 still bases loaded.
Then Grichuk (super bad since joining Blue Jays) K'd.
Now they need to get one more to wiggle out.
Loaded the bases with no outs.Quote:

Yeah it was no outs. Forgot that the first strikeout happened with the bases already loaded.
This whole pick has had the marginal feel to it. I've had very few outright bad under picks (where they just get blown out of the water early). I've had a few close ones lose in late innings, and other close ones hold on to win in late innings. Those I deem "mediocre" picks -- ones where I win or lose due to luck, not really due to the pick being particularly good or bad. That's where I place this one. I've also had a number of very good unders (which seem to be headed to cover the entire way).
These are the type I'm not particularly proud to win, but I'll take 'em if they hold.
It's a much better feeling when I pick an under 8 and the game finishes 1-0, and it feels like the win was mostly due to skill. Kinda like all those early-season NBA unders where I was routinely covering by 20-30 points. When the middle and later season came and my winners were barely pulling it out by a few points, I knew things were different. Not only was I losing a lot more, but my winners were rarely convincing.
As I've said, the handicapper's skill is more defined by how he wins rather than if he wins.
Right now, if you examine my baseball picks (especially the unders), you'll see that I'm almost never getting blown out. That's a good sign.
Chapman just came in and absolutely obliterated the Blue Jays, striking out the side and reaching 101 MPH.
And another under covers.
:yes
Now we need an Angels/Boston pitchers duel.
