i'm just watching on gamecast. hanson gave up a homerun but it should've been a solo...stupid escobar made an error and that turned it into a 2 run shot

Remember what I posted yesterday at the trigger books. eHorseX was the biggest money maker (5-1). Watch their book, they give you leans.

Right now they have the Tigers -115. Every other book (including Matchbook) is -119 or higher.

For the NYY game, they've got the Yanks at -143, lower than any other book. That's indicating a Yankees play.

There's lots of other triggers, but you got to wait until a few minutes before the game.

This EhorseX is obviously producing nice short term results, but i would be concerned due to their lack of any movement. In essence any game where the line moves 10+ cents will probably be a triggered play since this book is napping. I think its more meaningful when plays qualify from more active books? No?

it is just too many games to play choose the ones you like and do some more research... the line movements should just be a percentage of what should factor in to making a play.

Just as a reminder 5Dimes games:

TOR - Won 4-0
CIN - Tied 3-3
TAM - Winning 3-1
NYM - Winning 6-0
CLE - Winning 6-3
-----
SDG
OAK
FLA

I write these games down so that I have a team in mind to watch as the lines close - if 5Dimes moved to that team AND the line closed to that team, it's usually a good game to bet on.

In other words, there's a reason there are other rules than 1&2.
