    Every Kershaw start is like a bank holiday.

    Giants team total over 2.5?

    You don’t even need a mask ..... or a gun. Straight stealing.


    Seriously, Giants TT overs are a real thing. Let’s make it two in a row.
    Yes, I sprinkled a little Giants dog money.

    Edit
    You guys are pounding this. The juice is getting silly now.

    I am prob asking to go 0 for 3 and in horrible fashion. Druff I would kindly ask for the quick hook if I do so. Also, I remember how diseased Bovada Baseball lines are. Just took a quick look. A’s I would not bet at more than 145. How am I getting U 4.5 -105 and Bovada has U 4 -115? Fucking Bovada.

    This is probably a good time to discuss Bovada again.

    Bovada calls itself a "recreational book", and that's accurate.

    They will kill your prop bets (or lower them to $25 max) if you even slightly show you have the ability to win with them. They will lower your limits on betting if you demonstrate you take the sharp side fairly often, regardless of whether or not you're winning.

    They have two different sets of lines -- ones for sharp bettors, and ones for square bettors.

    "Sharp" bettors are defined as ones who tend to take the same side as other sharps -- usually a fair number of dogs and unders, whereas squares tend to take the public positions -- favorites, overs, and MLB -1.5 lines.

    You start out with square lines. They might move you to sharp lines. To see which one you have, log in, and then open a second window in Incognito Mode and don't log into that second window. Compare lines. If you see a difference in some of them, you have the sharp lines.

    Bovada also has crappy spreads on moneylines. So they're usually bad for MLB moneyline betting.

    So why are they useful? Occasionally they have an outlier line, even for the sharps, which will be better for you than other books. Sadly I have been lowered to $100-$200 max bets (depending upon the sport), so they have limited usefulness to me.

    I would recommend getting on a reputable book such as BetOnline or 5Dimes (or both), as those have better lines, and in fact you can get some nice lines on 5Dimes if you sign up for "Reduced Juice", and then click on the "Reduced" option for each sport.

    Boy Berrios is trash.

    Protests shutting down the late baseball games as well. Oakland is doing it a little different, they are technically playing but didn’t really show up.

    I took Twins live +205 as a show of solidarity.

    I may regret challenging the Indians bullpen.

    Jon Rahm better be on that 10th tee tomorrow. I wonder if this is going to effect golf. Will Tiger decide not to play the BMW tomorrow? Will other players follow suit?

    Selfishly, if a number of players withdraw I wonder how the books will deal with that. In golf the bets to win are always action. Right now I really don’t know what to think. It seems like this tsunami is not going to stop. With no paying fans to disappoint it makes the chances of protests continuing much greater imho.

    while true, just remember that all these sports are sucking at the teat of the almighty cable/TV dollar...it's the only lifeline that they have to any sort of cash inflow at this time...if they've been paid out already, they sure dont want to have the cable/TV networks clawing back those dollars and if they haven't been paid yet they sure as hell want to keep those checks flowing cause it's their only source of revenue at this point...

    Force Majeure doesn’t move well off the dribble but you’re going to learn his name anyway.

    The luckiest man in sports is Mookie Betts who just inked $365m. He might be the last in a long long while to see that kind of dough. Ironically, he provoked the Dodgers reaction. Does he know what I know?

    Dont forget if you make a joke on a forum with Yebsite they will let you bet for 2 weeks on all the Bowl games and when you turn your 2k into 12k they will say they couldn't pick up your Western Union and not pay you.

    First off any book dealing 2 lines r the real crooks. That's illegal in any setting. Bovada aka Bodog r the bottom of the Barrell when it comes to offshore books.

    I can name you 7 that are bette and 3 offer better poker rooms.

    I also fucked Bodog Becky and she couldn't help.

    Now you know

    Druff Obv loves the poker room cuz there is 0 reason to ever bet with these scums but I give him credit he did go to bat for me and try to get my money.

    Bro I wanted to laugh at this when you posted it but i had the Indians you were looking good when it was 2-0

    There r 2 pitchers who you should not bet on again this year cuz they r always over valued..


    Berrios for the Twins

    Castillo for the Reds

    if you read the thread more you would know this and be 2-0 this week

    I did sweep my matchups last week so I wasn’t posting during my downswing. I like Rahm a lot this week. It’s boring af, you will get between 9 and 10 to 1. When he won the memorial he came off a great Sunday the week prior and the same thing going in to today. Is probably worth a few bucks. Only two par 5s this week and if he can keep it in the fairway, the bombers are pretty neutralized. His putting really picked up over the weekend last week. He’ll need to make some more from 10-15 feet this week but I think he will.
