*** Official Flying Stupidity Wagering thread ***

[Dan Druff]

I was looking at my betting history today and I didn't see my Colorado +124 bet. I got really pissed because this meant a slight winning day turned into a loser. I bet it when tired, so I didn't have a clear memory of it confirming. Ugh.

I kept looking over and over, but didn't see it. I complained about this out loud next to my girlfriend, who got stressed listening to me.

Then I noticed that the book listed it a different way because I bet on a subplatform they provide, and for whatever reason it just has the resulting payout but not the game listed. So there was indeed no Colorado +124 listed, but I did get paid for the win, which is what matters.

I'm so glad I noticed that because it was about to ruin my day.

Forgive me Nicky Pipes

Yankees (German) -116 vs Tampa (Rasmussen)

[Dan Druff]

Nicky Pipes was right. Hard to bet against the Rays, especially when not getting a dog line.

[Sanlmar]

Nicky Pipes was right. Hard to bet against the Rays, especially when not getting a dog line.

It’s funny you should say that. I did get a dog line last night. A bet made on a prayer involving Tampa regression and the observation that Yankees were scoring and Tampa were not last few games.



F5 Texas team total over 2.5 vs Oakland. Oakland finally found a pitcher for tonight.

This picture tells the story best

[Dan Druff]

That's an excellent catch, Sanlmar.

Here is our friend Luis Medina this year: https://www.baseball-reference.com/r...=pgl&year=2023

Note he got bombed by a very tough offense on May 3 -- the Sacramento River Cats.

Over 2.5 Texas -130 first 5 innings is a great bet.

I'm firing on this, as well.

[Dan Druff]

Well I still like the bet but it's not what you think.

Medina is no longer starting. It's now Zach Neal, who hasn't pitched in MLB since 2018.

[Dan Druff]

Actually, I'm not sure which one is starting. I have conflicting sources, but now I'm back to believing it's Medina. Either way, it's good.

Came up short. Texas 3-0 after 6 innings (not 5)

0-2 in MLB. I’m at peace with the picks

Not many hands per hour this Thursday.

[Sanlmar]

Hit the Reds Miami under 8 before it disappears. 6’8” flame throwing stud Perez for Miami.

Don’t have time to do a whole Sanlmar lulz post.

Under 8 -120 (DK)

STL @ Boston over 10 -120. 10.5 tomorrow morning
Paxton recalled from AAA Worcester (40 min bus ride and the bus will leave its motor running to return him)

Old man Adam Wainwright STL

10 is not that big a deal. You followed Sawks overs this year?

I’m not a prop guy but some HR props like Goldy or Devers might take some of my coin. Have to wait to see how they price the HRs tomorrow morning

Have Perez on my fantasy team / kid is going to be the real deal. Next randy johnson

Strider has been lined at 8.5 K every game this year.

Every game the sharps jump on the under because thats what they do, making the over 8.5 available at +125

He is now 7-1 vs the number, with the one loss being a delay into a Monday morning….. when he had 8 ks and was pulled early……. So effectively 7-0 in games you could bet


And for those of you paying attention to the season long bets / Strider will wake up 12 clear of the lead in Strikeouts. 10-1 looking great

[Sanlmar]

Florida was huge for me Chaps



Marner Matthews Day tomorrow

That Leafs goal/no goal/blown whistle is gonna be added to the legend.

There is a whole Strider sub genre that pays tribute to the size of his package. Funny as hell. Hung like a horse. Needs a tailor for his uniform

Not surprised

[lol wow]

raaaaaaaaaays burning me here

[lol wow]

do any of you white nerds have anything on this angels total at 8.5 im hearing under

[Dan Druff]

Last minute:

Cleveland (Quantrill) vs Angels (Detmer) - Under 8 +100

[Dan Druff]

Detmers has weird stats. He's 0-3 with a 5.10 ERA, and gave up a lot of hard contact so far.

Usually not the guy I'd want on one side in an under.

However, somehow his stuff has been much BETTER in 2023 than before. His results should be considerably better. They're just... not. But I don't expect this to last if his stuff remains good. I'm picking today's game for Detmers to pitch considerably better.

[Dan Druff]

Detmers looking good so far like I thought. Sadly Quantrill is having a bad game, and it's 3-0 Angels in the 3rd. Toss up so far whether this wins.

Here's another one starting soon:

Baltimore (T. Wells) vs Pittsburgh (R. Contreras) - Under 8.5 -113

[Dan Druff]

One more pick.

Ranger Suarez is back from injury, and has to face the Rockies in Denver for his first assignment. Not easy. I don't predict this goes well for him.

Colorado (Feltner) +125 vs Philadelphia (R. Suarez) -FIRST 5 INNINGS
