Damian's picks

Borowski and Saito each blew saves for me last night which turned a profitable day into a losing day.  I'm sure I will get some lucky wins in the future so I don't worry about tough losses.  I am 2-8 -781 or -7.8 units since I started to post here.

That might seem like a lot but i'm a good handicapper and baseball can change quickly and random variance will always work itself out in the long run.  By slowly grinding my way out of this hole and turning a profit I will show that my methods are valid.   Here are my picks today:

4/15

MIL +113  (100 to win 113)

OAK -105  (105 to win 100)

TOR -132  (132 to win 100)

DET -136  (136 to win 100)

BOS -107  (107 to win 100)

NYY -120  (120 to win 100)

Hey guys,

I went 4-2 yesterday for a profit of +195.  I am now 6-10 overall for a net loss of -586 (or 5.86 units.  That was a typical day for me and I expect to have many more days like that going forward.  Today I have a huge card as I have 9 plays.  I will get some days like this because I can't control how many picks I have.  Whatever my system picks I have to play.  So here we go:

4/16

ARI -175  (175 to win 100)

HOU +105 (100 to win 105)

WAS +170  (100 to win 170)

CUB -200  (200 to win 100)

SDG -136  (136 to win 100)

NYY -155  (155 to win 100)

TAM -116  (116 to win 100)

LAA -155  (155 to win 100)

OAK -105  (105 to win 100)

I know this a lot of plays to get down on, but you might be able to hold off on the later games until we cash some of the earlier games.  There is also a day game with the D'backs that has a good chance of cashing.

That means that I have a bet on the Yankees.  The line on the yankees tonight is -155.  That means that you have to risk  $155 to win $100.  In other words, the yankees are favorites tonight.

I am using $100 per unit to keep my record.  Ex:  If you were a $50 bettor (50 per unit), you would risk 77.50 to win $50.  If you were a $25 bettor (25 per unit) , you would risk $38.75 to win $25 etc.  

The line is -155 so you multiply 1.55 times the amount you are using per unit to get your risk amount.  If the line was -175 you would multiply 1.75 times your unit amount to get your risk amount.  When the picks are underdogs always bet your unit amount no matter what the line is.   And always use the same unit amount for every bet.

Hi ears,

When i say "the card"  i'm just referring to my picks that i have selected for today.  You might have already known that, but i just wanted to clear that up for everyone else too.  I already posted my bets for today at 1:49 p.m.  There are 9 bets today and i'm off to a good start as arizona is beating the Giants.
