Friday Bet Card

With back to back winning days you ask why I took off yesterday, well that's because I didn't like the card out last night and didn't want to force a bet.  You should never have to force a bet out there just because there's a game on tv.  As I have progressed as a sports handicapper I have developed my own strategies and theory's I use in my daily cards that have been profitable over my career and now I can show them to you.  I do like tonight's card and have narrowed down my wagers and there are some theory's that apply for tonight. Remember to sign up for our newsletter right on the website here and get our TOP plays right to your inbox.  As always is my updated record by sport, TOP play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 39-26-2 (60%) (+$4872) MLB YTD 78-78-4 (50%) (+$1262) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21-1 (54.3%) 3* 53-58-1 (47.7%) 4* 38-34-3 (52.7%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Rockies run line -1.5 +126 (4*) - First start on the road for a rookie theory.  You don't see me take too many run lines on my cards, but I like this one tonight.  The Twins played in Minnesota last weekend then traveled to Seattle and now to Colorado who could be with Carlos Gonzalez tonight which could spell trouble for the Twins.  The Twins also are starting a rookie on the road in Kris Johnson who is recalled from Triple A to replace Nolasco.  With the total of 10.5 tonight oddsmakers are predicting runs [...]

Wednesday Bet Card

Pulled away last night in the positives going 2-1, but losing my TOP play which stings, but when you put +$600 to your MLB bankroll, it's not so bad.  Still though, my TOP play is my go-to and should make your card night in and night out.  With the afternoon games already in completion it limits some action on tonight, but have found some gems never the less.  Here's tonight's card with my updated record by sport, TOP play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 38-26-2 (59.3%) (+$4428) MLB YTD 76-77-4 (49.6%) (+$758) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21-1 (54.3%) 3* 53-58-1 (47.7%) 4* 36-33-3 (52.1%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Royals ml +115 (4*) - Ventura's last 6 road starts he's 4-1 with a 2.32 ERA and fired 6 scoreless innings against the Rays earlier this year.  Cobb has faced the Royals four times and is 1-2 with a 5.04 against them. Texas/Houston UNDER 8 -113 (4*) - Darvish's has been lights out last three starts vs. the Astro's and Texas needs this guy pitching to give them some confidence here to pick up a win.  Looking for Texas here to grind out a win in a low scoring affair. Twins/Seattle OVER 7.5 +111 (4*) - 2 UNDERS in this series = OVER plus an OVER favored ump 9-7 (56.3%)

Tuesday Bet Card

Not a great night for me 1-2 and not profitable, but we move on to tonight and ready to build my bankroll back one play at a time.  TOP play is the go-to play for me and @ATSskinner and should be on everyone's card.  Let's get to tonight's card.  As always my updated record by sport, TOP play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 38-25-2 (60.3%) (+$4828) MLB YTD 74-76-4 (49.3%) (+$158) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21-1 (54.3%) 3* 53-58-1 (47.7%) 4* 34-32-3 (51.5%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold White Sox ml +154 (4*) - Sox are 1-6 on a 10 game home stand and have been shut out 3 times in its last 10. Can not back the Red Sox here White Sox get it done. Jays/Angels OVER 8 -110 (4*) - Skaggs is on the hill at home tonight which means it's an OVER play for me.  He owns a 5.80 ERA at home this season and the Jays bats need to keep pace in the East. Cubs/Reds OVER 8 -104 (4*) - This is the flip flop double header theory

Phillies/Brewers OVER 8 -110 (4*) - Homer prone Estrada is on the mound tonight and the Brewers bats need to wake up.  Take the OVER here Phillies/Brewers OVER 4 First 5 -125 (4*)

Sunday Bet Card

2-2 day yesterday and was still able to put $62 to the MLB bankroll.  Cashed my TOP play and now have put together 3 straight winners in that category.  If your a regular on our site you know my favorite day of the week in baseball is Sunday.  So let's get to today's plays. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 37-24-2 (60.6%) (+$4948) MLB YTD 71-71-4 (50%) (+$1015) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21-1 (54.3%) 3* 52-56-1 (48%) 4* 32-29-3 (52.4%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Brewers/Reds OVER 7.5 +111 (4*) - 2 UNDERS in this series = the OVER Whites Sox ml +121 (3*) - Home dog with less than 35% of betting action and with a game total of over 8.5 theory.  Plus revenge for Noesi after being traded by Seattle at the beginning of the season. Twins ml +104 (3*) - Home dog with less than 35% of betting action and with a game total of over 8.5 theory. Red Sox ml -115 (3*) - Yes I am taking the Red Sox, its crazy, but my research tells me to take them today.  Orioles are a baseball worst 5-17 after they play a double header since 2005.  Take the Red Sox in this spot. Indians ml -130 (4*) - KC is missing most of their RBI producers today Indians are going to start to roll here and should roll over the Royals.  Kluber had his best start this season against the Royals when he struck out 11 in his first career shutout against them and is 3-1 with a 3.77 ERA career against [...]
