BOL with your picks!

I like the website! You seem to be doing very well the past 2 weeks. How long have you been recording your picks?

Just for this time period, I created the site so that I can see my record, and this daily thread for others to see me do it as well... I'm definitely better than any of those garbage "touts" haha, just kidding

I like the plays for tomorrow at first glance, but after a big day for the favorites, I have a feeling there are a few trap lines out there. Cubs and White Sox at first glance.

 

[ELMO75]

G/L Selective!!! Joining you on the White Sox and Twins. D-backs looks like a trap bet w/ that line. Rays line up + recent road success gives the feeling they are due for a loss at the bottom of their rotation. I just don't have any luck betting for or against the Dodgers. That being said looks like another solid night for you.

 

[Janesl36]

What would you say are your 2 best plays?

 

[wolverine31]

Looking good bro.

 

[SelectiveAscent]

Thanks guys for the positive support.

Since you are so supportive, I would like to know your opinion on this:

Do you think adding a sports blog to my site would benefit the site, or not?

Thanks,

Ryan

 

[MIKET5567]

Thanks for your picks Ryan. I have added your site under my Bookmarks. I think having a sports blog would be cool. Do you also handicap football? Thanks again,


Mike

 

[therookie2b1]

great run man...blog would be a big add to the site

 

[SelectiveAscent]

I do also handicap football, but not as well as baseball, many people are vice versa, but I am the weird one!

I would love a blog on my site, but might not have time to write articles, and such, anyone have any ideas of where to find writers, or anyone wanna write for it ? haha

Thanks,

Ryan
