Saturday Bet Card

1-3 last night, but cashed my TOP play which saved me a bit from losing more.  Went out last night and took two huge underdogs in baseball and both teams got blown out.  I can't stress enough that taking OVER -140 favorites all the time will make you money in the long run.  And I can't stand guys who go on about a "3-0 sweep last night" but all plays are -170 favorites.  Right now I carry a 50% winning % in baseball, but I'm up still $953.  Finding that underdog every night to win is tough, but I will always tend to lean against the public rather than side with them.  I don't take an underdog just because they are an underdog I do my research every day watch line movement then pull the trigger.  That's all I have to say so let's get to today's plays.  As always is my updated record by sport, TOP play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 36-24-2 (60%) (+$4552) MLB YTD 69-69-4 (50%) (+$953) 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* 51-55-1 (48.1%) 4* 31-28-3 (52.5%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Brewers/Reds OVER 8 +110 (4*) - Huge favorable OVER ump 10-2 and average road score 7.5 and home 5.5 which is a lot of runs.  GO with the OVER today. Stl/Miami UNDER 7.5 -105 (3*) - UNDER Ump alert 4-14 to the under here and with two solid pitchers on the mound I'm putting my $money$ on the UNDER.  Reverse line movement here too. Brewers ml +122 (3*) - This ump has favored [...]

Friday Bet Card

Haven't had a card out for 2 nights, but I can't force out my plays if the card doesn't fit my system plays.  Sometimes a no play is a winning play.  Let's get to the card for tonight.  As always is my updated record by sport, TOP play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 35-24-2 (59.3%) (+$4164) MLB YTD 68-66-4 (51.5%) (+$1565) 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* 51-53-1 (49%) 4* 30-27-3 (52.6%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Rockies ml +183 (3*) - We all know how Kershaw has dominated JUNE, but this is JULY everyone and it's a new month.  The Rockies are out for revenge here after he no-hit them two weeks ago.  ROCKIES ml is the play Seattle ml +150 (3*) - Baseball is about streaks and Seattle is on one of a hell of a road run right now 6 wins on the road and look for 7 tonight.  Once again Sale has been nothing but stellar in JUNE, but it's JULY and a new month.  Take Seattle tonight. Indians ml -107 (4*) Houston/Angels OVER 8 -103 (4*)

Tuesday Bet Card

2-0-1 night and slowing getting back on track.  My TOP play was void last night, but cashed two money line dogs and made $900.  Would have loved to not have a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to push my total, but these games these days aren't over till it's over, especially with real questionable bullpens.  My research is done and moving forward with my card below.  As always is my updated record by sport, TOP play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 34-24-2 (58.5%) (+$3884) MLB YTD 65-64-4 (50.3%) (+$1340) 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* 49-52-1 (48.5%) 4* 29-26-3 (52.7%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Chicago White Sox ml +150 Game 1 (4*) - Home dog of less then 35% of betting action and a total of 8.5 or higher betting strategy. St Louis ml +115 (3*) - fade a pitcher after he throws a no hitter theory. Pirates ml -130 (4*) - Don't usually lay this kind of juice, but I really like the Pirates in this spot.  With a lefty pitcher on the mound for the Pirates the Diamondbacks are a league worst 6-12 against lefty starters this season.  Miley hasn't won since May 10 and in June allowed 7 homers and 16 earned runs in 29 and two third innings.  Take the Pirates *UPDATED LATE LINE MOVEMENT PLAYS* Cleveland ml +115 (3*) Cleveland/Dodgers OVER 7 +100 (3*)

Monday Bet Card

Well my 5 star play did not cash yesterday which never looks good on myself, but my three other plays did and ended the day 3-1 and +$541 to my baseball season total.  Let's keep cashing like yesterday and building that baseball bankroll. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 34-24-2 (58.5%) (+$3884) MLB YTD 63-64-3 (49.5%) (+$440) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21 (54.3%) 3* 48-52-1 (48%) 4* 28-26-3 (51%) 5* 3-1 (75%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold White Sox ml +136 (4*) - Home dog less then 35% of betting action on them and a total over 8.5 system play of mine. Cubs ml +150 (4*) - Fade the team after a Sunday Night baseball win strategy. Rays ml +100 (3*) - Rays always perform well against the Yankees.  They have taken 4 of 7 from them this season already. Oakland/Detroit UNDER 9 -110 (2*) - This is a clash between division leaders and should be played like a playoff game tonight.  Look for a well pitched game and not many errors.  Take the UNDER

Sunday Bet Card 5 * MLB GAME

Taken not just one day off taken a few days off to re-group.  Baseball season is long and can be a grind so you need some days to rest because there's still a lot of season left and lots of money to be made.  My favorite day of the week to cash is Sundays of the baseball season.  You have series finales and all the umpire stats available for you today.  Lets get this done today with an all baseball affair.  I NEVER lay OVER -140 juice and just never profitable over the long run.  I can't stand guys who say "4-0 sweep" and they have all -170 favorites.  Just remember taking those favorites like that won't profit you over the long run. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 34-23-2 (59.6%) (+$4384) MLB YTD 60-63-3 (48.7%) (-$101) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 1-2 (33.3%) (+$120) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 25-21 (54.3%) 3* 47-52-1 (47.4%) 4* 26-26-3 (50%) 5* 3-0 (100%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold Min/Tex OVER 9 -113 (5*) - We have a game here that works perfectly into my research.  Favorable OVER ump, Vortex winds in Texas, 2 straight UNDERS in the series and 3 straight Texas UNDERS. Pound this OVER today everyone. Oakland/Miami UNDER 8 -111 (4*) - 2 straight OVERS in the series = the UNDER.  HUGE favorable ump to the UNDER in this game. Angels/Royals OVER 8.5 -106 (4*) -  All I have to say is Wilson on the ROAD. Boston/Yankees OVER 8.5 +103 (3*) - 2 straight UNDERS
