what the fuck is yankees thinking??

[Greenbacks]

I agree with your thinking and would have played the royals HAD i bet this game however, do you think Vegas really KNOWS the yanks would put that guy in and he would blow it in the bottom of the 8th w/ 2 outs? Yanks bettors looked to be right and I would bank my $$ knowing they need one out before Mariano time any day...That said while I think KC was the right pick anyways, KC bettors got pretty lucky...

My answer to your question is yes...and thats a big FAT yes....I do believe vegas knows the deal on alot of games......I also believe in SHARPS.....Call me crazy......people know the outcome of games.

Somebody knew the yankees were going to lose.....147 to 123 hno:

that's my exact thought... i don't get this.... joe giardi's decision like this will fuck them to fail once again in this season

I'm the biggest Yankee fan on the boards, I hate Girardi.
Always have, always will.
If Torre was still managing, Moose would have been back, most of the veterans can barfely tolerate him and his style.

 

[Greenbacks]

Listen guys.....I know my sports....every sport mind you.

You simply cant just say that team is better and bet them.

It`s all about the lines....public money.

I dont have the time to write now...someday we can get into it.

You have to read a line at first glnace sometimes.

Last night for example....I read a NBA line at first glance....stuck out like a sore thumb.

The pacers were giving the pistons 2 points.

No way a non playoff team in the pacers should have been giving the pistons points.

No way TIM LINCECUM should only be -112 in an avoid the sweep game with heavy public on their side.

The line dropped when the Yankees released their B starting lineup. It didn't drop because vegas knew Girardi would make such poor decisions with the relief pitching.

i agree with you green but you cant just bet the moves blindly, examples today to me were i dont no the percentages but i think johan -120 vs fla seemed a little low, and timmy against sd seemed low, basically pick em games

 

[Willye]

i thnink it just comes down to them having more information then the public does when the make the line, i dont think anyone was trying to blow the game, and this is coming from someone who had atleast 5 bullpen leads blown this year, atl up 7 against philly in the 8th etc, well neway gl all

Greenbacks, your reasoning is not a winning one in the long run. Pacers were favored by 2 because they were playing good ball up until that game, and they have great home court. Pistons are sub .500 on the road and have difficulty matching up with the quicker pacers.

What if that bum wasn't put in the 8th inning? Would you still come up with the reasoning of how the line went from -140 something to the 120's?

Tim Lincecum had a shaky spring and an awful first start, going against a decent Chris Young. That's why he was a short favorite.

Line percentages and movements don't yield winning results in the long run. It's best to leave conspiracy theories completely out of it when it comes to line movement and public %'s or whatever those scam sites spew out.

Like Carib and Sportbook really want you to know how much money they have on the sides, lol.

getting a road sweep on a teams home opener when your 5th starter is facing their ace is why you had the road chalk drop before the game. Nothing to do with vegas knowing the yanks would randomly bring in a bullpen guy with 2 outs in the 8th to blow it.

Vegas has the best data mining technology in the world and they put it to good use. Obviously, the result/chance of this game was predicted due to millions of lines of historical data.

In other words, these types of games/results with today's scenario have happened thousands of times before

 

[billhill999]

Not breaking balls fellows....I`m just trying to help out.....I was on the royals for that simple fact.....

You have to beware of that shit.

Also,just reading a line is what you have to do.

Example....Lincecum on an avoid the sweep game.....The guy is only -112.....you cant just jump on easy shit like that.

You need to be able to read a line....If it looks easy its not.

Good luck....

Case in point.
Marlins with J. Johnson opened up at +110 v. Mets with Santana.
I liked the Marlins at first glance, and questioned the line in my mind.
I follow baseball hard, I study it, Johnson has serious game, not quite Santana game, next tier down.
Joe Square bet up Santana all the way to -135.
(I bought Johnson at +122)
Fish win 2-1, buh-bye Joe Square's Santana win tickets.

Yankee "management" will do this sort of thing from time to time.
