slick , what is your thinking on the (RL) 1 -vs- 1.5 ? is the better price not worth the risk ? I don't play many run lines,just wanted to get your take.There are no stupid questions, right.

I understand the better price, but I hate to lose when I bet on the winner in baseball. Especially in this case, where the big edge comes from the pitching department, imo. Oakland had been playing good ball until very recently. Couple that with the fact that Chicago is at home, where if it's a close game, they will play for 1 run. A road team is slightly more likely to win by more than 1 than a home yeam, follow my thinking here? And, then, extra innings, well, yer probably fukced. I enjoy getting other peoples views on this kinda stuff, I guess the way I look at it is if I wanna lay 1 1/2, why not lay 2 then, I can always live with a push. Gl whatever you decide.

If you're logged in on an account at Pinnacle, you can click on the "-1.5" and a drop-down menu will appear, giving you the option to be -1, -1.5, -2, -2.5 with different juice for each.

they're all correct, and I'm not a rep for the site or anything, but I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you have to be nuts to play baseball anywhere but pinny. The amount saved on juice for even a small player is incredible. For instance, last week, all the places had Halladay vs. Boston at right around a pick'em. On a twenty cent line, thats -110, Pinny had Bos -106, Tor -102 For a $100 player, that's eight bucks of risk saved on one play. The amount over six months of baseball is a ton. I'm plus 40 some units on the year and I really wonder where I would be if I played twenty cent lines.

Also, IE, you're welcome in any and all of my threads.
