^I did the exact same thing

6/19/2008 6:05:57 PM

Picked it up again lately. Went from 57 cents four days ago to 34$ today. Got all but 4$ invested in a few tonight.

Cubs/Rays O8.5
Cubs +1.5
Astros/Os O10
Os -118
Chivas USA +110 (I randomly bet on soccer favorites. I was bored.)

I need to stop betting on games just to bet on them now that I'm up again... Especially TV games. Anytime there is an MLB game on TV I HAVE to bet on it. Lets see if I can be up around 50 by the end of the night


Oh and really odd. A couple of days ago I logged onto my cronie account to find that it had 15$ in it... I have no idea where it came from. The account doesnt have any cronies so I know its not build up from that. I wonder if it was a bet from a long time ago that got messed up and they just corrected it... but I haven't had that account over 10$ in a long time. Of course I promptly fucked up all 3 of my bets and lost it all

6/19/2008 6:28:57 PM

hmm...had a decent day today. won .50 on a 2-line parlay with the twins and U 8.5 in the royals/cards game. lost a quarter on a parlay with the white sox and U 9 for the Dodger/Reds. Should be up to $3 barring a 9th inning collapse by the rays(parlayed rays and O 8.5). Started with .85 so not bad. let's see if I can beat my record of 6.50 tomorrow.

6/19/2008 10:22:03 PM

need the rockies to stop being faggots

6/19/2008 10:25:43 PM

lol, the Rockies are perpetual faggots.

6/19/2008 10:37:22 PM

Woot! Up to 41$ tonight with 4.55$ (to win 5$) riding on Chivas who are up 2.

6/19/2008 11:34:59 PM

^ i'm @ $5000 on centsport from .10 yesterday. dumbass.

6/19/2008 11:39:25 PM

^ ?

6/19/2008 11:54:20 PM

Bet on Atlanta today

website that picked them has gotten 11-13 picks right


Also betting on the WNBA today

lines arent up yet though



For the people who post here regularly, do ya'll want to start keeping a record of games picked and what not? I know we did it for College bball....was thinking it might make the summer a little more interesting and to see how everyone does.

6/20/2008 12:14:07 PM

I'm down for laying out some picks so everyone can see how bad I am.

6/21/2008 4:02:59 PM

Haha, if you want bad... I went 0-13 yesterday (Thats including counting each bet in my parlay as individual bets).

6/21/2008 4:05:34 PM

yea I post that and I went 2-5-1


back to 10 cents.....


Oh and i just lost the Holland/Russia bet too


back to 10 cents....

6/21/2008 4:40:49 PM

ha. I went 0-6 yesterday losing 1.75. Today I won a parlay with the reds +1.5 and U 10.5. The cubs also won. Didn't bet but .25 on each with the day I had yesterday. Right now I've got a parlay with the rays(no way in hell lightning strikes twice and they lose again.) and the braves.

[Edited on June 21, 2008 at 4:48 PM. Reason : ]

6/21/2008 4:47:01 PM

Yeah, you're killing it on there dzags, apart from that 0-13 business

what do you mean your cronie account?

6/21/2008 5:01:54 PM

Haha I was over the last few days, before yesterday and my 40$ got reduced to 1$ - but my cronie account is an account I have set up as my cronie. For a while it was doing really well and was fueling my main account. I could cash out and be back up to a couple dollars in a day or so from my second account making big bets. I think I've received around 50$ from that account in bonuses, plus the several hundred I cashed out from it.

6/21/2008 5:31:59 PM

do you clone your bets on it then? seems like you would just have two accounts then, lol

6/21/2008 5:40:07 PM

Haha well yeah it essentially is me having two accounts. Except it was originally made by a friend and in his name.. and he cashes the checks for me (before when they did paypal they would send his to my account, i said we were roommates). I sometimes clone my bets if its a play I really like, but most of the time I will try and mix it up.

6/21/2008 6:05:45 PM

welp, the rays pulled through at the very end. hopefully the braves bats can come around.

6/21/2008 9:01:12 PM

I think the Braves are gonna screw up my 4-game parlay. I felt really good about the Rangers beating the Nats today, I expect the Rangers to win tomorrow too.

6/21/2008 9:40:16 PM

Nevermind about the braves screwing my parlay. I should be good as long as the Rangers hold on to their 10 run lead.

6/21/2008 10:21:38 PM

this bottom of the 9th shit is a little much but it'll do. up another $2 bucks took a chance on a marlins/tigers parlay(.50 to win 1.60).

6/21/2008 10:23:54 PM

ha. 5-3 Thursday, 0-6 Friday, 7-0 for Saturday. up to a whopping $5.75 bucks now.

6/22/2008 1:02:50 AM

If we're gonna start making picks, here are mine for today (record 0-0)

Yankees -225
Boston -220
Rangers -110
Atlanta -200
Tampa -220
San Francisco -120

There are a lot of good home pitchers against bad road teams today, makes for some horrible lines.

6/22/2008 10:37:33 AM

only 1 pic for right now because all I have is a dime....

Record (0-0)

Italy +200


All the group stage winners have lost their round of 8 game and I dont think spain will buck that trend. Spain consistently chokes when they have all the talent in the world (see portugal), so I expect them to crash and burn today against a well seasoned Italy team (even with out pirlo)

6/22/2008 12:52:01 PM

I'll bite.. hopefully starting posting my picks will get me out of my slump

(0-0)

Yanks -230
Yanks/Reds O9.5
Rangers -119

6/22/2008 12:57:17 PM

I wish you could just highlight and c/p bets

(0-0)

Orioles/Brewers O 9.5
Bay Rays -1.5
Cards +185
Nationals +1.5
Mariners/Braves U9
Braves -200
Blue Jays/Pirates O8
Reds/Yankees U9.5
Reds +200

Not so sure of my big upset games (Cards, Reds) but I figure what the hell. All games have 10 cents on them. I based my picks on the pitcher ERA stats for the most part with some influence from current win/lose streaks and O/U tendencies.

6/22/2008 1:13:35 PM

Helton walked, Holliday to second, Baker out at home.

How did that happen? Did they walk then he tried to steal and they put it as one thing or something?

6/22/2008 3:25:56 PM

Record (0-1)

italy +200

and it begins


MLB
Whitesox +126

WNBA
LA Sparks -7
Chicago Sky +5.5
LA/Indiana O145

6/22/2008 5:43:41 PM

2-1

White Sox +126
Sox/Cubs O9

6/22/2008 7:07:51 PM

Ok, came out of the day with a record of 4-2 but to be more accurate I'll do it like covers.com.

So I won these ones:

Yankees -225
Boston -220
Rangers -110
Atlanta -200

so my YTD would be: $30.81

Lost about 15 cents on the day.

Arizona +152 (I have Haren pitching on my fantasy team.. so mostly just praying )
Angels -180

6/23/2008 6:57:07 AM

I don't really see any games that I like today >_>

6/23/2008 8:05:01 AM

so we just post the picks and then follow up with the picks that won?

6/23/2008 11:25:26 AM

I guess. Unless you have a better way to do it. I was just doing what I did when we were keeping track for College Bball.


Record: (1-4)
Today

Royals -111
Braves +111
Angels/Nationals O7.5
Red Sox -175
Mets -175

6/23/2008 11:39:01 AM

I guess I'll make one pick today even though I don't believe in it enough to bet on it.

Nats/Angels U7.5 (Lackey's been under 7 times in 7 starts)

[Edited on June 23, 2008 at 12:08 PM. Reason : consistency]

6/23/2008 12:08:38 PM

Record: (4-5)

Rockies/Royals O8.5
Royals -111
Brewers/Braves O8
Mariners/Mets U7

Lots of closely matched games today with some good pitchers (and closely matched ERA) but I'm feeling some O/U business.

Staying away from the heavy Braves and Mets favorites because they've screwed me in the past My bodog hax didn't bring anything up for the Angels/Nationals and I dont have time to look around so staying away from that game too.

6/23/2008 1:06:50 PM

Angels are the best road team in the MLB pitching an excellent pitcher against a mediocre Nats team. If someone made me make a pick I would pick the Angels.

edit: I like to look at http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/mlb/statistics/2008/teammoneystatistics_mlb_regular.html for my home/away money picks.

[Edited on June 23, 2008 at 1:55 PM. Reason : waer]

6/23/2008 1:54:42 PM

Most of my picks are fades off of the people who have their "expert" picks


I really dont think the Nats game will go over but I saw everyone jumping on that so the other way I go

Also I have an amazing 17% winning percentage on centsports right now. I mean that takes talent. Shit people might as well start fading me

6/23/2008 3:12:05 PM

ha. I've gone from about 23% to 30% in the past week.

yeah, I took the angels and the under but might change it. Bergmann has given up an average of a little over 9 runs in his last 3 starts against the twins(11), pirates(7), and giants(10). So I could see the angels scoring 7 or more on their own and the nationals squeezing in a run or 2 and fucking me over.

Bets for today:
Angels(-185) and U 7.5
Red sox(-175) and Braves RL
Royals(-111) and O 8.5

Bonehead pick of the day: Mariners(+160) over the Mets

[Edited on June 23, 2008 at 4:33 PM. Reason : ]

6/23/2008 4:25:16 PM

Where those all away games or what?

Lackey for the Angels is definitely a hot pitcher at 1.73 ERA, however he has a slightly higher ERA during away games listed at 2.05. The Angels as a whole have an average of around 4.26 runs per game and give up about the same.

Bergmann has a 6.35 ERA at home and the nationals give up about 4 runs per game and take in 3.

I'm gonna take O7 and Angels win.

(4-5)

Angels -187
Angels/Nats O7.5
Rockies/Royals O8.5
Royals -111
Brewers/Braves O8
Mariners/Mets U7
