I assume we'll find out your actual bet sometime in the 8th inning of the day game?

i was talking to OP, who needed to do more research and get back to us about the o/u. now that it's 4-0 in the 1st, i'm guessing he laid off the under.

[Thremp]

Okay. I was semi-baffled.

Pick a couple of overpriced ('public') favorites and combine them with a total play that you may or may not really like until you look at it some more in which case you may or may not double your bet so that the effective price on the favorites now result in an underdog payout. This system has been around for years. It only works in April.

haha why only in April, i'm intrigued?

*edit: After looking at the BOS game some more i really like the under after all. SEA will not score more than 2 runs, and i find it hard to believe BOS will put up more than 7. Therefore I'm going to bet 1000 to win 4,109.52 net. I will watch the lines though and hopefully see them drop a little before i put the bet in.

fyi, yeah i bet the under, but i have other bets today that i will post to sort of protect my earlier investments. As any sports better realizes you look at your wins or losses at the end of the day. Will post other bets later.

Ya, the runs are tallying up fast. I like the Boston -1.5 pick though. I parlayed them with the yanks ML for $50. Good luck to me.

Any broke one. I get your point though, but monthly is a better gauge. If I took my weekly good weeks. I'd be rich. I have an established and documented parlay record here. Your finding of a couple solid favorites and package them with value picks is nothing new and hardly worth calling a system. Unless common sense is a system.

I missed re-doing the boston game, but I felt fate was playing a fast one on me in Seattle pitching change.

Looks like you forgot Baseball Betting Commandment # 17 - Thou shalt not bet the over in games started by Jose Lima, Sidney Ponson or Jeff Weaver.

Good luck with the rest of the month.

Don't parlay 1/5th of your bankroll on picks that involve scoring. Take solid ML's. Points and runs are so hard to consistantly hit. ML's at least give potential to figure out and hit parlays more often. Save the point spread parlay to smaller wagers with lottery payouts. When you are popping such a large portion of a bankroll you had better research and not go overboard. A solid 3 team ML parlay whn betting big can build a bankroll fast or bust you fast. Fun though.

Take $500 and pick 3 big ml's, hit and your are at $2000. Take $1000 a night for 2 nights and do the same. Hit once you are at $4000. Cash out half and continue until broke. Took me once almost a month to go broke. Cashed out almost $20,000.

Note: I wouldn't recommend this, but I do some strange things for entertainment.
