    I bet Heat +5.5 this morning, added ML +120 a few minute ago just for a sweat

    Its a homer pick pal just like betting the Rays every night.

    I am heading to the game on Monday night with a business partner from Africa.

    **I JUST CHECKED I GOT +115 not +120**

    Mookie Betts playing shortstop today for Dodgers. Have to see this. Bucket list item.

    Fading Kershaw but what’s new

    Nice to book a win after the 0-3 day Friday.

    I liked the Injuns pick a lot, and it was leading the whole way.

    Look pal, you’re 19-3. 13-0 @ home. You are leading baseball against righties AND lefties. Every stat is legit. Your front office is genius. Why are there empty seats on the weekend? You are literally the Bruins of baseball right now.

    I’m ready to hit TBR tomorrow with that kid Bradley against Astros Urquidy who is really just a back end guy. Tropicana is pitcher friendly though so idk. Astros really are underachieving. Enuff about me.

    Africans as seat fillers. If you can scale this you should contact the front office. I’m sure they’d be receptive. Tropicana is a national embarrassment.

    Damn shameful pal.

    It’s been a while since I had one of my bets fouled by the PFA curse.

    Texas (Nate Eovoldi - Sawks alum) vs Reds (Lodolo)

    I remember falling under the spell of Reds Hunter Greene & Nick Lodolo. I’ve regained my composure.

    I think Eovoldi has had multiple Tommy Johns. Just useless fast ball trivia about a fairly trivial pitcher.

    Texas is mashing. Eovoldi just dishes fastballs and the Reds will do enuff damage against him in that tiny bandbox.

    Plus money or even in the early hours of the AM on over 8.5 Take it.

    Over 8.5 +100


    I saw Mookie as a shortstop involved in the final out for Dodgers. It fulfilled me and eased the pain of my Dodgers fade loss. Fading Kershaw is always correct independent of outcome. Gotta explore obscure Kershaw HR props. I’m a soldier.

    Reevaluating Toronto sports. Leafs against dinged up Tampa. Sigh.

    I’m thinking of the Jays now. Jays are banned and Bassitt is pitching (against CWS Lance Lynn).

    However, Bassitt seems to have rehabilitated himself. Toronto offense is less fail. I’m thinking about it but the price is so high @ -165. RL?

    Part of my identity is tied up with this. Forgiveness is not in my nature ordinarily. It’s on my short list.

    Look pal, I meant I am heading to the Miami Heat game tonight.

    Look for my court side dressed in all white linen pal.

    When you see, you'll know.

    Pal, you seem to think I live in the Tampa Bay region, I do not. I am a South Florida (East Coast) guy. I have been a Rays fan since they began when I was a kid. I really liked the Devil Ray logo and uniform, so I became a fan. The Rays also are on TV every night here, as well as the Marlins, before I had enough money for MLB package where you get every game, I became a fan based on watching them every night. In general I like mostly all Florida sports teams, I still like the Marlins, don't get me wrong pal.

    Listen pal, betting the Rays every single game has been a phenomenal success for me and made up for some "blunders" I made elsewhere, if you catch my drift.

    I will continue to bet the Rays every game, Houston just swept Braves in Atlanta and showed a lot of heart in those games. Should be a good series.

    It is confirmed "bad luck" to post an official Rays play in this thread, as both times I did, they lost and that accounts for 2/3 of their losses this season. Just know pal, Nicky Pipes is in the shadows, getting his Rays plays in on the daily.

    Boston -1.5 games -175. 4-1 or 4-0 sweep.

    Colorado -1.5 -145 . They are a bit banged up, but I still think they win 4-1 or 4-2 at worst.


    San -> Leafs have a lot on the line. If they lose again the GM is gone 100%, likely coaching staff as well. Tampa is tired and banged up, but never bet against Champions and the best goalie in the world.

    I'm not putting any money on my Leafs, but Leafs win in 6 games.
    NHL Series bets reviews.

    Islanders +180. Carolina up 3-1. Looking like a loss.

    Boston -1.5 games -175. Looking good. 3-1 Bruins.

    Colorado -1.5 -145. Colorado up 2-1. Looking decent.

    I did bet more on the Bruins should have remortgaged the house. Florida did give them a brief scare, but Boston is too good (Ullmark)


    Leafs --> San I predicted Leafs in 6. They pulled a rabbit out of their hat last game, hoping they can again tonight.

    I done fucked up with the Giants game tonight. I meant to bet them earlier at +107, then got busy with something, now it's -111.

    Do I still like it?

    Yes. Not quite the value it once was (I just taxed myself 16%), but I believe it's a winning pick.

    San Francisco (Cobb) -111 vs St. Louis (Montgomery)

    I have Leafs series -1.5 games so I’m live.

    Devils Akira Schmidt is gonna ruin my life.

    Devils-1.5 +140 live. Rangers have zero PP against Akira these two games. Consolation prize

    Good baseball night. Haven’t seen a single pitch. TBR is just stupid fun and profit

    I’m gonna flinch first and post NBA. Pipes made me look when he mentioned Miami Heat. Boston wins tomorrow and it’s a cakewalk.

    This is funny cause I’m hardly the homer. I do enjoy witnessing greatness in my era like Ohtani and the Bruins. Tampa Bay is another fun team. I still haven’t watched a Celtics game.

    Something fun.

    Texas is crushing RHP & the bats are kinda prolific atm. Reds Luke Weaver is a backend body. A guy who bounces around the league. Texas Martin Perez isnt great. He’s a contact pitcher and it’s trending to the bad. He’s a LHP and Reds can hit lefties in their little bandbox of a park sort of.

    Try to get a 9. I wouldn’t take 9.5 but I’m old haven’t internalized the football scores these days. Maybe 9.5 is ok.

    I wish I could play the Cubs over Padres but the weather looks awful. I love the matchup.

    Braves look great against Miami and Hoening. -240. I’m gonna pass for now.

    Braves, Texas, Tampa, Angels … I drift back to the same teams.

    Oakland’s Miller is meh & bullpen is the absolute worst in the MLB by 2 runs. Horrible. Oaklands Miller has no length either. Oakland hitters seem to prefer LHP and Angels Miller is RHP.

    Look at me Druff. I’m not laying the juice and taking the plus money. I feel like an adult here.

    NHL has caused me some gastrointestinal distress. There have been 10 damn ties in the playoff so far. I’m in agony every evening. A NHL tie is +350 to +400 preflop. You can give yourself a half unit taste. I am not wired for long shots on a daily basis. This tie thing has been building to a crescendo from the regular season. I was aware of it. It’s the new 1st Period. It’s made people’s season. I just keep clutching my nickels. Passing, passing. Tums doesn’t help.

    Devils Akira Schmidt is killing me, Simp. 6’5” and 215. Series is now 2-2. I had that Rangers money spent. I have a delicious +1300 on Rangers for Stanley Cup that I could hedge off of.

    I caught a live Devils -1.5 +140 toward the end of the game. The Rangers have never scored a power play on Schmidt. 0-8. Pull the goalie and essentially that’s a power play. What good is that gonna do? Devils will just sink that putt in the empty net. A consolation prize.

    I’m too despondent to handicap hockey.

    My ramble is done

    Cubs - 117
    Rays -177

    Amazing sports slate today.


    Yes Pirates.

    Muncy is out for Dodgers paternity. The kid, Outman, will move up. I did a +525 HR prop 1/4 unit and I hate props. That’s just a dumb price … I’m obligated by contract to bet it … sigh. If I didn’t obsess about taking every last Dodger dollar I never woulda seen this.

    You saw the Cubs weather Pal? Blowing in, cold, maybe some rain. Right wager on the wrong day.

    Berrios fade. No other value

    Yes pal I saw its bad weather. Justin Steele is a dominant pitcher, Snell lost his "Tampa Charm" a few years ago. I see the line moved against me, wonder why, who cares the bet is placed I don't play the game pal I just watch on the MLB app.

    Adding Hurricanes -148, series ends tonight pal

    Here’s a parlay that will put the thought process in drive. Canes are looking to close the series out and likely will tonight. With nothing to lose and the season on the line the Islanders can pull their goalie and leave pulled no matter how many putts the Canes sink. I mean what’s to lose?

    You understand, pal?

    I know you are betting with stone tools down there so preflop 3P over isn’t offered to you. Think over live at the start of the 3rd period. This game could bloody likely be 1-0 at the start of the 3rd.

    That said my largest risk is the Canes Islanders game total over 3.5

    Edmonton LAK is likely to end in a tie. 10 ties so far this playoffs. My therapist is booked til Friday and I can’t cure my issue betting ties alone. I took the alternate puck line.

    Legalized wagering is retarded.

    Let's Ride with Ryan again, in what might or might not end up being a pitchers duel.

    I can not believe I did not have the self discipline to avoid the previously announced PFA Curse

    I will never post in this thread again. 3 of the 4 RAYS losses this year are games I posted in this thread.

    Death sentence
