    Do you put much weight in consensus and line moves?

    Tonight is a good example in the Buffalo v NIU. 77% of wagers on Buffalo yet the line moved down a point to -3. I'm with the majority here and think Buffalo has the better offense and should win by more than a TD, but with everyone thinking that and the line going the other way I'm concerned...

    Trump (and the rest of you dumbasses) snared by his own words

    Trump on the wildfires in California: Hedgie for sure has sided with Trump on this blaming forest management for the extent of the devastation. 76 people have died in the California fires this year so far. Terrible loss of life (as well as property that is less important) that the President...

    Anyone good with Amazon Alexa technology?

    Before the usual crowd chimes in, yes, I have searched for an answer and am not getting a clear one. We have several Alexa devices in the house and use them for a number of things so I'm pretty familiar with how they work. My question is around the Alexa Show that can be used for video...

    Pens v Islanders tonight

    When betting on the Pens you have to look for motivation, they are clearly a team with enough talent to score 10 a night if so motivated, they are also a team that can go through the motions and get smoked by Montreal on any given night. Fairly listless to start the season they went into...

    This just in.....Tom Wilson still a piece of shit.

    He got a 20 game suspension today and, once again, the NHL got it wrong. He should get a year in prison. Fucking guy is a cancer to the game.

    Internet speed for streaming, gaming, etc....

    I have high speed cable internet that comes into the house to a modem from the cable company and is then wired to my router which is an Apple AirPort Time Capsule and that feeds everything in the house. When I run a speed test through my laptop it tests at 175mbps up to 200mbps at times, but...

    PSA: NFL unwatchable? Can win? Too many flags? Too unpredictable?

    Meanwhile, in the Soccer forum: :0071 But, by all means, keep doing what you do, I'm sure this is the week you turn it around in the NFL. For everyone else who actually likes money, the soccer forum is open for business, and business is good!

    Taking the early dog and here's why......

    Cincinnati +160 The Reds are a top 5 team v LHP which they draw a good one tonight in Hyun-Jin Ryu, but I'm not sure his recent form is all that great. His WHIP of 1.39 in his last three games isn't all that awful, but those games are against the Mets, Arizona and San Diego. Other than...

    New York Yankees=Keystone Kops

    Jesus fucking Christ, can anyone on that team play their goddamn position?

    Here's a play I don't usually make

    I'm not much of a prop bettor, but this caught my eye as I was looking through stats for tonight's card: Pirates/Cards YES to score in the first inning -120 I'm relying on the Pirates to cover this based on the BvP matchup alone. Gant has pitched well recently which is a concern, but his...

    How much longer until cable companies and Directv are obsolete?

    So many options to get content through an app and most TV's are capable of downloading apps now, and if not you have options like Apple TV, Firestick, etc... I'm real close to not needing Directv anymore. If I could get my local sports without them or a cable company I could cut the cord 100%...

    Handful of epidemics going on in MLB right now and they need to fucking stop

    First off, managers, when it gets to the point Ray Charles could see your pitcher doesn't have it why are you leaving him in to give up 6.....7......8..........9 fucking runs? You gotta be able to make the decision to pull the plug on a guy who's fastball isn't hitting 90 and his curveball...

    Thank you Captain Obvious (Take Boston) and others.

    BOS/BAL The best RHP team in the league goes against Dylan Bundy who's last 7 outings have been forgettable only because Baltimore has managed to outscore his ineptness three times getting him 3 wins with scores of 11-5, 7-5, 10-4. He likely will see no such luck tonight going against Nathan...

    Today's write ups are just the games I'm playing

    Maybe if I narrow things down a bit it will spark some conversation. NYM/CIN Syndergaard goes for the Mets today who has beed solid recently and draws a team that is only mid-pack vs RHP. I'm not going to try and sell anyone of the idea the Mets are good against RHP, but they are improving...

    Thoughts on the Sunday card

    ATL/NYM Wheeler kept the Braves completely off balance yesterday and it might not get much better for them today. RHP Corey Oswalt takes the mound for the Mets and he doesn't give up many base runners, the problem is that when he does they seem to come in bunches. For a guy with .99 WHIP over...

    My thoughts on each game today

    I'm making notes on each game as I co along so I may as well copy/paste as I go so I hopefully get some input from you all. Maybe we can tweak each others thought process along the way. Cincinnati/Washington Can't take Cincy as they are just awful on the road, but no way to justify the big...

    Good book, podcast, other?

    Got any good books you can recommend on football handicapping? Maybe a good podcast you listen to? Football is by far my weakest game, but who doesn't bet on football? I need to get better, any recommendations?

    Something for everyone. A favorite a dog and a total

    Total: Tex/Ariz OVER 8 1/2 In a ballpark that at least somewhat favors hitters I don't think it's a good idea to run a pitcher out there with a WHIP over 2, but that's exactly what Texas is doing. Robbie Ray is no gas can, but in his last three home starts he has given up 5, 4, and 6. Both...

    Another "I'm missing something here" game

    Boston v Washington In his last 10 outings Rodriguez has give up more than two runs only twice, to the Yankees and Seattle. They Yankees lead the league in OPS vs lefty's and have a top 10 BA. Seattle is also top 10 in both OPS and BA against lefty's so it's understandable they might get to...
