Are you high? That is a crazy statement. With juice, 1 - 0 is better than 2 out of 3.........most look for best %, not play %.

Whatever works, should go with. I played them all, but I believe less is better.

So you're saying 100% is better than 66.6??? No kidding. Obviously 1-0 is better than 2-1 is better than 10-9, etc. But if you hit a certain percentage, as long as that percentage is high enough to make a profit, then more is better. 550-450 is much better than 55-45, for example.

The point is that if you have an edge, you want to play that edge as many times as you can.

Yes........IF you have an edge. Review the card and tell me where the edges were?

I believe selective is better, my opinion, sorry to place it in this thread, as it does not belong here. Again, I am a follower, not a poster, so I happily tag along, also my choice. DO NOT want to rock the boat. All started when I hinted that I was shocked that there were 8 plays to be made today.........my bad.

Sometimes less is better. Sometimes it's not.

Last week I played 7 games in one day and went 6-1. To me that is better than going 1-0.

You look at the board and you play what you think is the best games.
Some days you might have 2 plays ... the next day, you might 7 plays.

I cap game by game ... if I like it ... I play it. No need to pass on a game that I like

Please understand that I was not questioning, but just commenting. I appreciate all opinions, and really appreciate those who take the time to post, no disrespect. Keep up the great work.

You must think that there is an edge or you wouldn't be following... right?

If a capper thinks a game is +ev, he/she should play it. Period.

^ I know that ... I am just explaining my reasoning (maybe for others out there who may have questions).

No disrespect taken.

 

[jbragg10]

wow ... the Mets are really pissing me off.

They finally score and the Rodriguez comes in (after the Cards didn't score for 18 innings) and gives up a run.
I need the Mets game. I think the Tigers can pull off a win, but the Red Sox are doomed. Mets is the key to a winning day

This has been a rough day, and the Mets are an exercise in frustration. VERY annoyed that Phillies couldn't deliver either a win or an over, but should have figured with Nolasco.

All that said, I *need* the Tigers to deliver.

 

[jbragg10]

yea ... I need either the Tigers or Red Sox. Just one needs to win

 

[hcskip]

Well, I'll take a Red Sox win, but I think they're taking the night off.

 

[jbragg10]

Angels -110 (3.3 to win 3) WIN
Tigers -130 (2.6 to win 2)
Rockies -115 (2.3 to win 2) WIN
Giants -157 (3.14 to win 2) WIN
Phillies -115 (2.3 to win 2) LOSS
Philly/Florida over 10 -110 (2.2 to win 2) LOSS
Red Sox -130 (2.6 to win 2)
Mets -105 (2.1 to win 2) WIN


4-2 (+4.5 units)

Need either Tigers or Red Sox to win for a winning day.
If both lose ... I only lose -.7 of a unit.

I'll give you this much JB, in the past I could never win a bet on either local NY team, if I hit 10% on Met and Yankee games I'd be surprised.. but this week I'm 3-0 on the New Yawkers!
