Unders have been NO good sinse the season started.
The chalks are just killing the makers as well.

They can't put a price high enough on a few starters...Halladay and the Blue Jays were my only play yesterday. I hit the opener at -266 and then the overnight at -280. I can't remember the last time I ate that kind of chalk and fealt like I was getting value.

Ever consider the run line at around -125 on that game to be equal or better value? Personally I couldn't eat that amount of chalk. Or you could always get cold feet and go for -1.

Run lines eat into profits too much for me...I just can't bet on a team needing to win by 2 runs because no manager plays to win this way. A lot of 1-run games that erase a lot of profits.

I am mainly a dog bettor. But there have been a few spots this year where elite pitchers have a lot of value as favorites. I posted one here earlier in the week on the White Sox as well and the line moved over 70 cents.

Eating chalk is not a way to make money long term...but value is value.

Bet 1%-2% and no more on any one play and you sleep like a baby.

Last 2 nights had the under in the 1st 5 inning on the Mil/Cin gam (5.5 on Monday and 6.0 on Tuesday) and they both go over in the last half of the 5th on 2 and 3 run homers...last night had a 4 team parlay w/ Wash, Morrocco +', Mia $$ line in Baskets and the under 6 and damn if that did not hurt
