At least I think this should be fun and exciting, lol... otherwise I would not make a thread with this.

Guys, when we are making a play, a wager on any game, that is supposed to be a value bet according to our capping (or at least should be, otherwise you're in sports betting just to throw out money trough the window!).
If we see no value or not enough value, we should not make the wager, right?

But what if we would have just a single game on the board every day, and we were forced to make a wager on that game?...
No matter if we don't like the match-up at all, or the odds, whatever. Now this would be a real test of our handicapping skills!


--------

So let's do this:

Every day I will post here a game, with just 2 possible wagers to make on.
The wagers will be always "to win" 1 unit.
I will post the odds, and those will be considered final, no matter if you post your play just minutes before game starts, and by that time the real odds have changed a lot.

Those who want to try there capping skills in these conditions just post the play in this thread, and we'll keep daily count of the records. Lets' see how many will take the challenge.
Today after the first 20 will post there play, I will take no more people into this thread, because keeping the records will get to complicated with too many people.

We'll run the thread until the end of the MLB season, and if it's going well, I will make one for the NBA too.

Some rules:

I will try to post always in the morning, before 12 AM ET.
I will also mention in the post what in the time-limit for posting your play (will check according to the time-stamp of your post).
If you do not make a play for the day, it is considered a "loss".
If you miss more than 3 days any 30 consecutive days, you are out of the thread.

I think that's all.

One more thing guys, I forgot to post in the first:
Start in here only if you know you visit every day the forum, otherwise makes no sense to join in here, just to disappear after 2-3 days.
Thanks.

The only criteria will be that I will try to always select games which have the closest odds on both sides.
In days when I won't see anything which is fitting this criteria, I will put out some Total, or even runline.
