Wishing you good luck Taxi on moving up to the $20 level. Hopefully you got bets in for Monday's games as I went 2-1 for a profit of $145.20.

Here are my bets for Tuesday:

$90 on Washington +153 (Perez/Pelfrey must start)
$100 on Baltimore +123 (Marcum/Trachsel must start)
$130 on Tampa Bay +109 (Pettitte/Jackson must start)

No clear favorite has emerged in the Boston game so I have not bet on that game yet. Will bet it later in the day.

What do you think your long term daily winrate is doing this hockeyboy?

Massimo, I expect a return of around 50% of my total bankroll. Thus I expect to win about $5,000 over the course of the season. If I were divide that by the number of games in a season (162) that works out to an average daily winrate of about $31. Had a very bad night last night as I went 0-4 and lost $420 but that is going to happen from time to time when you are betting against favorites.

Here are my bets for Wednesday:

$100 on Washington +178 (Chico/Maine must start)
$110 on Texas +126 (Gabbard/Litsch must start)
$130 on Boston +151 (Buchholz/Wang must start)
$20 on LA Dodgers -1.5 +120 (Maholm/Penny must start)

Note that Boston are playing the NY Yankees. When deciding what to bet on a game that involves two teams in our betting system, go with whatever team is at the highest $ figure in their betting cycle. At the moment Boston is at the $110 level while the NY Yankees are at the $140 level. Thus we make a bet at the $140 level. Because the odds are above +150 we drop the bet by $10 which gives us a bet amount of $130 on that game.

Mets -200 / -1.5 +110 difference of exactly 210 on Carib - worth going for?

Normally I would say yes but because we are making a straight bet on their opponent I would not bet it. If you found those odds on another game then I would say yes.

Mets +102
Philadelphia -104

you've bet on Philadelphia, were the odds different then? Also, wots with the weird bet size?

I had to make a bet early as I knew I wouldnt have time to make a bet shortly before game time. At that time Philly was the underdog at -102 on Pinnacle. The weird bet size is because my bet level on a game involving the NY Mets was at $130 and I made a bet to win that amount based on Philly being -102.

Lost $181.00 on my Saturday bets.

Here are my bets for Sunday:

$150 on Philadelphia +100 (Pelfrey/Eaton must start)
$110 on Detroit +119 (Robertson/Burnett must start)
$120 on Baltimore +161 (Pettitte/Trachsel must start)
$150 on Texas +147 (Millwood/Wakefield must start)

Note that with the Yankees losing on Saturday my base level with them drops once again though this time it only drops one level (down to $130; because their opponent is in the +150 to +199 range, the bet drops by another $10). When you have a win in a sequence the next bet against/on that team drops by two levels. Any consecutive wins in that sequence then drop the next bet down by only one level. Keep in mind that your bet level never should drop below your starting bet size (in my case it is $100; exception is when odds on team you are betting on is +150 or above).
