Rangers +140 with Millwood on the mound? I like it.

 

That caught my eye as well, but Weaver is also pitching very well, might be a good under play.

I do not understand the baseball lines. Can somebody explain the baseball lines?

 

Regular baseball lines are based $100 wagers, if it a +, that means they are underdogs and you would win that much if you wagered $100. If a team is minus something, that means they are favored and you would have to bet that much to win $100.

Thanks big slick now that makes sense. I assume hockey uses the same format? So there are no plus or minus runs in baseball? What about over/under????????

^ That is correct for the most part but if you have a huge favorite such as -300. Meaning you have to risk 300 to win 100, you can bet the Run Line (RL) Which is -1.5 for a much better price usually around -110. That means they have to win by 2 or more runs.

Cueto doesn't look like such a good value now, he was terrible tonight!

Most online sites give you the option to bet baseball games with 1 and a half runs as the line, but the odds still work the same as straight up, just altered to reflect the difference. Also they have over/unders, which sometimes favor one side or the other, in turn they use the same +/- situation. Hockey is pretty much the same. If you look most books have a moneyline wager for football and hoops, which is worked just like the baseball lines.

Wow over in the first inning glad I didn't take Cueto too. Cubs got me the under so all is well. What a horrible night as a Reds fan.

I took a beating tonight. First time in months. Still playing on house money but in the hole to start the week. Cincy got waxed something awful! Bought 1.5 on the Reds. Went big on the Bosox and they ended up not starting Ped or Bay. Won Colo and San Fran to save some face.

I like the Under in the Reds and Cubs game.

 

 

Well that had to be like lighting money on fire.:lol:

 

Looks like one of my bets when I was sports betting.:ohbrother:

I like 2 big favs tonight, Colorado-185 and SF -170 and looking at a couple of dogs, Cueto and the Reds +150 and Oakland +200 (Smoltz has stuggled a little so far).

 

Not a bad night, hard to be happy when the Reds get embarrassed like that!

Tonight I am looking at Florida, Arizona, Seattle, and Detroit.

I took:

WSox

Yanks

Sea

St Louis

Colo

I like the RSox but the number is too high for me. I like Sea a lot. If the early games go good I might fire a little more on them. Like Atl a lil but not taking them.

I am going to take the Reds as well, Harang is a work horse and I think he comes up big when we need him the most.
