Allright. Week two lines are up already and I see some lines that I like.

Baltimore Ravens -3 (-104) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit
Baltimore/Philadelphia OVER 34 (-105) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit

The second one I wanted to bet now before the line went up at Pinnacle. Lots of places now, it's at 34.5, so I wanted to get it in now.

[ensign_lee]

Seattle Seahawks +1.5 (-101) (-103.1 if I win) @ Matchbook

I would love to take the moneyline instead, but I think that by the time the moneyline comes out, it will pretty much be the same odds as I'm getting right now for +1.5, if not worse, so I want to get this bet down early.

[ensign_lee]

Adding Houston/KC UNDER 38.5 (-106) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit

I don't know who just bet the shit out of Houston OVER 37.5 to make the odds go from -105 to -120, but uh...I'm gonna take advantage of it and hit the under 38.5 now at -106. Every place else has it at 38 at -110, so yay?

Also, the Seattle bet above is for 1 unit. Unless otherwise noted, all plays should be for 1 unit.

[ensign_lee]

Adding GB-2 (-115) @ Skybook (Yay free half point!) for 1 unit
Adding TEN +6.5 (-115) @ Skybook (Again, woohoo free half point!) for 1 unit

[ensign_lee]

Line seems to be moving early on the MNF football game, with money coming in on the Saints.

I'm gonna hit the moneyline up now before it devalues.

NO Moneyline vs. Dallas (+135) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit

[ensign_lee]

Just noticed my record is incorrect:

One of my two unit pushes I made a one unit push.

So...updated...

Ok. See. Now... explain everything you wrote in this thread.

[ensign_lee]

Ok. See. Now... explain everything you wrote in this thread.

um....what? What specifically do I need to explain? I'm happy to help; I just don't know where to start.

[ensign_lee]

Adding these two plays for the next few days:

NYG -3.5 (+104) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit
BUF -3.5 (-101) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit

I may stick another unit on Buffalo. So much of the betting populace is betting on Cincinatti, but the line hasn't moved. This is very suspicious. That, plus the whole "shitty teams do well in the second week of preseason against good teams" trend as well. I dunno...

[ensign_lee]

Yep: definitely upping Buffalo -3.5 (-101) @ Pinnacle to a two unit play.

67+% of the bets are the Bengals...that is SICK. Buffalo it is....(aaaagh. I'm betting on Buffalo....... )

Also adding:
SEA/IND UNDER 39 (-105) @ Skybook for 1 unit. Free half point didn't work...I wonder why. Maybe it doesn't work for totals? I dunno...

TB -2.5 vs. Miami (-104.08 if I win) @ Matchbook for 1 unit.

[ensign_lee]

Ok. In light of the fact that the Philadelphia starters will be in for 2 quarters vs. the Baltimore starters being in for 1, and ace-ace being on the other side (and with a "best bet" at that), I am buying back my Baltimore -3 (-105) bet.

I got BAL -3 at -105, and am getting PHI +3 at +107, so yay scalp? This effectively erases this play from my record and I am losing no juice. woot!


On another note, how can I possibly get the ass end of EVERY line lately?!?! I bet on the Giants; the of course the line gets back to 3!!! and then I lose 3 cents of value on betting on Buffalo...grr...

[ensign_lee]

Hah; the bet I hedged out of completely won. Damn. Oh well.

The Giants beat up on the Chiefs, so yay there.

So...down 1 unit, and up 1.04 units = a .04 unit day. hahahaha. Awesome. At least I'm not down, right?

[ensign_lee]

Oh yeah: record update

Every play up there except hte TB one is just there because the public is on the other side according to wagerline/covers. And there's a few system plays in there too...

So uh, yeah. GO PARLAY!!!

~~~
This won't count, 'cause it's kinda "for fun". I wouldn't advise anybody else to take crazy parlays like this, but I thought it'd be fun. Sometimes, it's hard to have self control. ;o)

[ensign_lee]

Too bad Buffalo SUCKS.

Oh well.

0-1 today,

-2 units. Woot.

Adding for tomorrows games:

ARI +4 (-110) @ Skybook (wooh free half point!) for 1 unit

And then, of course, a bunch of dog moneylines:
MIN Moneyline (+151) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit
HOU Moneyline (+156) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit
NYJ Moneyline (+164) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit
TEN Moneyline (+257) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit

Hopefully, these will at least split (if not do better than that). I'm going with the trend that teams with 6 wins or less do very well against teams with 7 wins or more in the second week of preseason.

[ensign_lee]

NYJ/WAS UNDER 33 (-107) @ Pinnacle for 1 unit

[ensign_lee]

Wow...that under sucked a lot. whoops...

Allright. Not the best of days (I'm already counting the Tennessee +6.5 and M/L as losses). Lost both unders I played today, even though unders went 4 out of 7 so far. Damn.

But oh well. I'm glad I played those M/L dogs near the end. +juice ROCKS!

Allright...record update...

-101 to -110: 5-10

Hah. Wow; that sucks. Hopefully, I'll be able to turn that around.

[ensign_lee]

SF Moneyline (+141) for 1 unit
Seattle Moneyline (+130) for 1 unit

based on the fact that the public is on the other side.

Yes. I know I already have a Seattle +1.5, but at +130, I think there is value.

I think this should at least split, right?

[ensign_lee]

So the moneylines split. I won the Seattle +1.5, but lost the under.

So all in all... +.27 units. Better than the last few days of losing 2 units a day, that's for sure.
