June 17, 200917 yr Author It is based off $100 bets. For instance the Rays were +117 so I bet 100 to win 117. Now the Yankes were -370 today which means you have to risk 370 to win 100. There is also a Run Line (RL) Which is used for huge spreads like the Yankes like. You could have bet that the Yankees would win by more than 1.5 runs for -180. So you are only risking 180 to win 100 but they have to win by 2.
June 17, 200917 yr Thanks. I've always known once I turn 21 I'll be wanting to start placing sports bets. Seems like an easy way to make money if you're smart about it. I could be wrong though
June 17, 200917 yr Not saying I like the Nats, but how in the world can Wang (worst pitcher in MLB) be a 2-1 favorite over any professional ball team? Also if Grienke is anywhere as good as advertised earlier in the year, he should win in this spot tonight vs. D-backs at home at -165.
June 17, 200917 yr I took KC +1.5 Dodgers +1.5 BoSox +1.5 Rays +2.5 I also took Tiger for 100 to finish top 5 in the Open.
June 18, 200917 yr Author I'm gonna go with the Phillies tomorrow. Getting my stuff together right now.
June 18, 200917 yr Author Phillies - 160 http://purewinners.blogspot.com/ I am going to ride Blanton and the Phils today. Over his last 27 innings he has allowed only 6 earned runs. He is 2-0 in this 4 games and got terrible runs support for the other 2. Run support shouldn't be a problem in this game. This Phils are going up against Brad Mills - 1-8, 4.48 era, 1.51 WHIP 65-34 K/BBin 76.1 IP in 13 starts @ AAA Las Vegas. Not very good numbers for the kid and if it is any measure of how he will do in the bigs the Phillies should crush him. Only thing going for him is that he is a lefty.
June 18, 200917 yr What does that Tiger in top 5 pay? 275 too 100. I'm up big so we are letting it ride to see what happens on this one. I started with 10 bucks and built it up to where it is now. I wouldn't do it if I weren't up big on him.
