Thanks for those plays, Sanlmar.
Here's one more, starting very shortly:
Baltimore (Wells) +130 vs. Yankees (Taillon)
Note that Taillon has given up 5-6 ER in 3 of his last 5 starts.

Really become a fucking nightmare year for me with my picks playing well tee to green. Putts just missing and eventually the rest of the game suffers. This shit with Nelly now I’m pretty close to be over with it tbh. How somehow she is only 10 under is pretty mind boggling but par for the course for me this year.
Hang in there, it's not over yet. If she can get within 3 or 4 shots by the end of today, tomorrow could still be competitive. Depends on whether Brooke Henderson comes back a bit or at least slows down. A lot of players to pass but no one else in the top 10 right now other than Henderson and maybe SY Kim and Alison Lee should be of too much concern.
Four months ago, UFC at the O2 in London was a UK-fighter winfest, super hyped up crowd, so UFC snap "sheduled" another -- UFC London, which starts in less than 2 hours. The market is expecting a repeat performance but I don't believe the UK hype! Surely the "hometown" fighters have some advantages vs. the jetlagged fighters getting booed by the drunken masses, but I think there are some significant underdogs on this card worth betting. Here's what I got...
Mandy Bohm -115, 1 unit vs. decent German fighter mediocre American Victoria Leonardo
Charles Johnson +400, .5 unit vs. largely-untested Dagestan Russian Muhammed Mokaev who makes his home in the UK
Charles Rosa +450, .5 unit vs. English favorite Nathaniel Wood
Paul Craig +130, 1 unit, Scottish underdog who hits hard and is a definite grappling threat
Hanna Goldy +360, .5 unit, solid American striker vs. overhyped Liverpool Molly "Meatball" McCann
Jordan Leavitt +210, .5 unit, American wrestler/grappler vs. Liverpool "sensation" Paddy "the Baddy" Pimblett
Curtis Blaydes +130, 1 unit vs. UK headliner Tom Aspinall
last minute just added...
Jack Hermansson -105, 1 unit, solid Scandi fighter who gets beat only by top competition vs. short-notice good American (who fought recently) Chris Curtis
Going to be a lot of happy bookies this week. Todays MLB was a bloodbath. Saw a lot of “free money” type tweets on favorites which completely shit the bed at -300 prices.
Adding Auburn over 6 and Louisville over 6.5 to my season long totals.
If you can find a Virginia under 7.5 that’s at -160 or better that’s a bet. It’s probably a bet up to -300 becuase I don’t see that team getting to 8 wins but things can and will go wrong from time to time.
Yep. I bet against Cleveland tonight because they simply can’t beat the Red Sox. Lost 9/10 by a combined score of 95-30, no problem, Cleveland is coming to town.
I had a free parlay bet so I threw the Astros, Brewers, and Dodgers all -1.5. All three lost outright. All were -200 to -320.
I think this is the week that Patrick Cantlay reminds us that he’s a top 10 golfer.
I’m not messing about with anyone else this week - Patrick at +1100
(Ok I put break even money on Finau as a backup)
Massachusetts passed their sports wagering bill last night at the deadline. We had a good run.
Remarkably, Mass legislators opted for the lower tax rate. Stuns this cynic. False economy but props
Some claim bets will be accepted by the start of NFL so there is evidence that the requisite retahd element involved in legalized wagering is present.
I will yield farm bonuses and likely take up chess
It is claimed by some that Boston based DraftKings is the 3rd largest employer by some measure or another. That once legalized wagering gets rolling DK will be the #1 employer.
Gross.
FYP

Financial services might be 10th on the list. Fidelity is still a thing. Lotta changes.
You ever heard a California Prop 26 (sport wagering) ad? In pursuit of my doctorate in “Dodgers fail” I hear these local ads. The promises to save the wales, transgender homeless, Indians and every single special interest conceivable is unbelievable. I don’t think I ever heard a single Mass sports wagering ad.
Licenses in Mass will be $5m. I understand California licenses will be $100m. Yes, I have the proper number of zeros.
There is no conceivable way you can offer anything remotely playable if the companies are behind $400m before the first ticket is written and every special interest is getting a taste.
Light regulation

Too bad she didn’t take you up on it. Was cruel how she had it to -14 at the turn and just totally shit bed on the back. Jerry Foltz was the only tolerable part of the LPGA broadcasts and he has defected to LIV. I remember him asking Lydia about getting physio work a few weeks ago in the last round and she told him it was her time of the month and she was cramping.
When Nelly talked about he jet lag it just not something you want to hear about from the golfer you have a lot of coin on. You want them to block all that stuff out. You know their human and don’t feel well some days like the rest of us, but when you have a few g birds on them it just is so titling to hear.
Anyways Lydia shit the bed at the Scottish last week. Two 7 under bogey free rounds on Thursday and Friday and then a struggle to shoot par over the weekend. I’m shipping on Nelly. She took off last week and you can get her +1200 in the right places. This is a bet I had to make. Only decision is how much I pile.
PGA I like Zalatoris +1600. I’m fucking way overdue. Nelly and Will would make a beautiful couple come Sunday. Using my one time.
Live semi-long shot would be Joohyung Kim 35-1. Guy is trending really well. Took him in a matchup Sunday (Something I am focusing more on) and he won that by 7 strokes. Gonna put a saver bet on him for the week. Not gonna pile.
Worried a bit about Billy Horschel but price sucks. If he plays as well as he talks about how well he plays gonna have to fade.

Spreading it out over Lowry, Poston, SW Kim and Simpson.
Oh, it on
Sportsbooks Retaliate with New Ad Attacking Rich California Tribes
In a press release issued Tuesday by a coalition opposing California Proposition 27, members called the latest ad — funded by major out-state-sportsbooks — "despicable" and "shameful."
Oh yeah…. For the three or so weeks where sports was up in the air in Florida the commercials got down right comical. Both sides even hired people on the ground to walk around at malls and other public places to hand out flyers. The war on public opinion is fucking comical if you understand the players involved.
Ultimately it was the greedy out of state corporate assholes vs the greedy selfish Indians. Everyone is greedy except the side you want to win, they aren’t greedy at all. They are either for the children that the revenues will bring or for in state local interests to keep the money local.
I swear I never heard a single ad for Massachusetts sports wagering. The other guys can bear witness.
This despite New England being the hottest sports talk market in the country by a huge margin.
On a side note. New Hampshire is legal and has been for quite a while. I predict the books will shutter their operation.
