Over 10 (-125)
~~~This is a 6 team parlay. I usually play one a day. It's like a lottery ticket. It is the guilty pleasure of all gamblers to play parlays - you rarely win but if you do it usually means a really really good day.
2) BET ID=113565116
Straight Wager 05/19/05 11:00 ET
320.58/270.15 Result: Pending
Orioles(Baltimore) (Lopez)
Royals(KansasCity) (Hernandez) 05/19/05 (14:05 ET)
Over 10 (-120)
~~~ I bet the Orioles twice today because well - KC is like a fucking JV hockey team from Florida playing Canada. I mean - they are awful and aside from their "young talent" (average age 28.5) - they look as dead as a door nail after the 5th innings. I'm hoping the Orioles get up early and bury these fuckers. The only thing that concerns me is this will be "day off day" for most guys which means - Javy may be down, everyone else should still be playing but Javy in the 5 hole is worth a run a game.
3) BET ID=113560673
Straight Wager 05/19/05 08:54 ET
100.00/140.50 Result: Pending
DevilRays(TampaBay) (Kazmir)
Tigers(Detroit) (Bonderman) 05/19/05 (13:05 ET)
DevilRays(TampaBay) +145
~~~I know I know - - never bet the DRAYS! I like Kazmir - he hasn't shown it a lot this year but a day game after a night where the hitters are tired and a young pitcher on the hill who wants to start playing like he is supposed to. I didn't bet it hard - I basically bet it to see if I can start betting Kazmir in dog games when they play the Blow Jays, Tigers, Royals, A's, Mariners - - - shit like that.
4) BET ID=113560658
Straight Wager 05/19/05 08:53 ET
200.00/110.43 Result: Pending
Orioles(Baltimore) (Lopez)
Royals(KansasCity) (Hernandez) 05/19/05 (14:05 ET)
Orioles(Baltimore) -175
~~~See above - the difference between these two bets is here I took the Orioles even up (they can win by any amount) - above I am giving up 1.5 runs. They have to win by 1.5 runs but the payout is better.
5) BET ID=113560655
Straight Wager 05/19/05 08:53 ET
100.00/110.50 Result: Pending
BlueJays(Toronto) (Chacin)
Twins(Minnesota) (Mays) 05/19/05 (13:10 ET)
BlueJays(Toronto) +115
~~~This Chacin kid is no joke. If they were playing this game in Toronto this line be -140 for the Jays. I don't think the Jays really give a shit about home field advantage given their stadium looks like Camden Yards on a Monday day game while the birds are trailing 14-3 to the Tigers. Chacin is for real - he has nasty nasty shit.
6) BET ID=113560640
Straight Wager 05/19/05 08:53 ET
300.00/170.14 Result: Pending
Diamondbacks(Arizona) (Halsey)
Astros(Houston) (Clemens) 05/19/05 (20:05 ET)
Astros(Houston) -175
~~~ Clemens - what else can I say. The 'stros are starting to hit. Despite their loss last night they showed some life when coming back from 7 runs down in the 7th. I like the moxy of this team and I think it's time they got behind Clemens and made a run. I'll be betting the 'stros against the overrated teams in the NL. Especially when Backe, Clemens, and Oswalt pitch! Bank on that one.
