FTW's Monday Night Plays!

2* Oakland Athletics +165
2* Seattle Mariners +143
2* Marlins/Dodgers (Over 8) +105



Yea, I know I said I wouldn't play that many games, but I am playing these pretty small. On my early runline plays I am guaranteed at least a 2 unit win, unless the Whitesox come back and it will be a 16 unit win.

I hate going against PittVipers GOY and the Pirate Pythons, but I think Oakland is going to win a game eventually and I think it is tonight. I am going against both Oaklands huge losing streak and Yankees big winning streak in hopes that at least one of them end to bring in some profit.

Goodluck if you play em.

Hey sorry, its hard to go against ya. I know you play a lot of faves, but I find it hard to see both Yankees and Boston winning tonight, I think it is a long shot to win both, but I'll be happy with a split.

It wouldn't be as bad if, NYY loses, and Boston wins!
So there is a way we both can win tonight!

Thats true, you would hit your GOY, and profit, and I would profit from splitting. I have no problem with it if you don't.

Goodluck.

I would rather, NYY win and Boston ;) lol, but A split with boston winning wouldn't harm me too much, though it would kill a parlay!

GL on the plays FTW. I thought you were trying to limit you plays? Remember the key to money management is not betting too many games or chasing. Not trying to knock on you, just trying to help.

I know, I am glad you are keeping on top of me, as I sometimes have trouble doing it myself!

I'm not really chasing because I am up 2 units on the day, I just think either Seattle or Oakland wins, and I have really liked the Florida over all day and it is looking good so far. Hopefully I pick up another couple of units on the nightcap.

Really though, you are right, I could of made my ONLY play today the Mets which I felt really strongly about and I would of profited. Tommorow I think I will try and find another one game I REALLY like and make some money.

Thanks for your help.

I'm just trying to help a brother out. I am young like yourself and did the same dumb things chasing and betting when games where on TV, only too lose more and more. However, recently I have become much wiser and profitable. You will see I typically will bet one maybe two games a day and thats it for baseball. Baseball is too long of a season to bet 5-6 games a day. Now college football I will bet like 4-5 games a day, but thats only once a week.

So if your up 2 units on the day, why not just quit and be up. Yea some dogs looked good tonight, but they will be playing baseball for the next 5 months.

GL bud.

Profitable 1-1-1 split!

Up 1.3 units.

Seattle could have won if they had gotten a double play, and the Marlin game should of went way over, but I won't complain.
