oh my god! its in red! emphasis noted!

clearly you can see that, relative to my EV playing omaha while tilted, this parlay is +++EV. Just stopping playing and not trying to gain back my losses is out of the question obv.

[whipsaw]

should've bet more on the parlay

[Your Mom]

my plays tonight:

Royals - blew it.
Royals/W Sox U 9 - no runs through 5, then a shittun of runs and I lose
Cubs - Up 4-0 with big Z on the hill through 3. Score no more runs. now losing 5-4.
Indians/Twins U 9.5 - Indians score 4 in the 12th to win 7-3.

Kill me now.

I'm European, looking to deposit 2k to a sportsbook/books to bet baseball and hockey but since I'm total newb to american style sportsbetting it would be cool with some hints regarding which book to use.
I read links given in the FAQ and it'd seem Pinnacle would be best for me?
However I checked their MLB lines today and compared to Crockpot's lines they were pretty crappy.
So basically, should I deposit the 2k to one book or split it up and use several?

Limpfold,

Crockpot doesn't post WA lines.

[dankhank]

if you are euro and planning to play crockpot's lines -- i hope you're a morning person. spread your money out to pinnacles, 5dimes, and perhaps betjamaica. also realize that while crockpot's picks look good so far, tailing someone else's work isn't usually a fast track to success, in any business.

SIA.

[NajdorfDefense]

pinny, jamaica, vip, bodog, sia - all have deposit bonuses. I'd say pinny is most sharp and sia is least sharp.

[Limpfold]

Thanks for the help, I decided to put it all at pinny and see how I do. Might add more to other sites if I do good/think it's fun. The virgin plays yesterday went to hell but today's looking better since the Rockies decided to light it up against the Mets.

Oh and while I'm at it, where can I find helpful hints about when to place the bets at Pinny? No clue if it's better to bet early or wait..

depends on how you anticipate the line will shift
