MistaFlava has a $5000 wager on Saturday, May 30 and it goes at 1:07pm ET

[Azrats]

If you spread the bet across multiple books than $ 5000 isn't that hard to wager. I risked $20k one day on collage football so it's plausable he bet $5000.

MF, what is your record this season?

Regardless of how much he bets, MF always provides a logical, detailed write-up describing how he came to his choice. I don't agree with him all the time but the insight provided is always much appreciated. I doubt all of you go through such a tedious thought process for each of your picks, let alone write it out and share with the hostile group of people in this forum.

HUH????

Toronto is 1-9 in its last 10 games.

Red Sox scores 5.4 runs per game against lefties and is 11-6 against lefties.

Red Sox are 16-7 against the AL east and Toronto is 5-8.

Toronto has scored 3+ runs in 3 out of their last 13 games.

Brad Penny gave up 2 runs in 6 2/3 innings to this same Boo Jays club a few days ago.
​

I didn't see that there.

THOROUGH write-ups are good ... biased write-ups that ignore anything that goes against the pick isn't worth reading.

People do wager 5 dimes per game ... no issue there ... but ...

If you're wagering more than 2% of your bankroll on an MLB game, you need money management lessons.

2% is a little low... i go as high as about 5%, thats usually my cutoff....

for all the ppl out there that think ppl dont wager 5 k on a game they are wrong , because ppl do ,I dont but i know ppl who do so dont say something like that , it does happen but id never bet that much unless i knew for sure the fix was in ........gl

I don't doubt that many people bet 5 dimes. It's just that the people who do bet 5 k per game don't say they do. At least not in the thread title in a public forum.

That's great you don't see it and like I said, I don't see eye to eye with him all the time either. Fact is the ML was -108 for the bluejays so apparently a lot of other people were following his logic.

Show me someone who writes up their thoughts on a game without any bias.

I do .. I don't post my picks very often, but when I do, I urge caution.

It reads:

Now, for a pick

The wind is blowing in at 17 mph in NYC today. Light rain and 55 degrees.

The game era is around 8, the total is 10. It shows up as a P3 on the PDWS but it's a borderline P2. The total era is 10.27.

Would this be enough to point to an under?

You might now want to check and see who the HP umpire is.

You might want to now see the starting lineup to see who is resting.

Some people here swear to never play the Yanks under at home ... so you might pass.

It's YOUR call, not mine.

The game ended with 3-4 runs being scored.

Line dropped from -130 to -106, so I have no idea what you're saying.

Betting $5,000 on a single baseball game means you should have a $200,000 banroll or more if he's a pro

Sometimes bettors get up large sums of money and look for a big short term score and wager way more than they really should be

sometimes they win and sometimes they lose but it's a HUGE GAMBLE

I hope he wins

 

[seanm0520]

I hate even considering getting involved in all these little tiffs and all that, but regardless of what his actual wager is...for the most part, he's been posting winners with these large bets. Isn't that the bottom line? I don't follow picks myself but I read most threads and he has been winning.

 

[Pish Posh]

Since he claims he made the $5,000 wager with Pinny he can easily take a screen shot of the ticket and post it right here

Yup ... I agree ... that is why I deleted the post that got this thing started ... until I was ccalled out for deleting it, and the shit started.

My apologies to MisterFlava ...

Vernon Wells is garbage lol 0-3 with men on base

Way to earn that $120 million dollars Wells lol This guy can't get a clutch hit to save his life

Today has been the story of his career

So overrated

With this kind of post, you might as well post a screen shot of your face, so we can rip on it. Get a life bud.

people are ripping the guy saying he didn't bet $5,000

If he wants to prove them wrong he can simply take a screen shot of his ticket

not really a big deal

Those unbiased write-ups are few and far between.

Next up for me guys and I'm going $3500 for this one is...



Minnesota Twins ML +132



I know the Rays are going to be a popular pick here and that's fine but Minnesota, seeing how they are second in the AL Central and trail by only 3.5 games, cannot keep losing on the road. Francisco Liriano would have never pegged an underdog of these odds a few seasons ago but he has struggled and for some reason I expect those struggles to end today.


Jason Bartlett batting .400 versus lefties this season

Akinori Iwamura batting .449 versus lefties this season


BOTH PLAYERS ARE OUT TODAY


The rest of the Rays lineup is not that good against lefties as Carl Crawford bats .276 versus lefties, Dioner Navarro bats .244 versus lefties, Willy Aybar bats .243 versus lefties, Carlos Pena bats .227 versus lefties and BJ Upton bats only .157 versus lefties. So this lineup won't do shit and if Liriano can get some run support here, which I think he will for sure, we are in serious business guys with this underdog.

David Price had made only one major league start and what else can I say about that? He has faced only two batters at home in his career in a Dome where the Twins see the ball very well as they play in a Dome themselves. Wish I had more time to talk about this but I don't. Also keep in mind that:

*TAMPA BAY HAS WON ONLY 6 OF THEIR LAST 22 GAMES VERSUS LEFT HANDED STARTERS

*TAMPA BAY HAS LOST 4 OF THEIR LAST 5 AS FAVORITES


The Twins are going to come in here and swing the bats for Liriano. He has been getting better and is facing a lineup that is horrendous versus left handed pitchers without their top two guys against lefties.

TWINS ARE BANK MONEY TODAY!

Pinnacle would easily take a $5,000 side wager on a baseball game
