*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Denver Nuggets(-1) vs LA Lakers
Lakers lead series 2-0

Can you imagine this line-up with Bynum?

Bet on the LA Lakers


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers
Canadiens lead series 1-0

The Flyers certainly had a lot of passion in game one.
Bottom line, Montreal is superior.

Bet on the Montreal Canadiens

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

We still have B.Penny's win with the Dodgers over Colorado tonight.

For tommorow Sunday:

Arizona Diamondbacks @ San Diego Padres
B.Webb - J.Peavy

A lot of people fail to see the reality of how greater of a pitcher Webb is in comparison to Peavy.
Peavy's #'s come in the most Pitcher friendly park.
Webb's #'s comes in one of the smallest fields in the game.
As far as the teams are concerned.
The line-ups are several dimensions apart.

Bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Boston Red Sox @ Tampa Bay Rays

Matsuzaka - J.Shields

Both pitchers have been having a great year.
Tampa Bay's bullpen though continues to be the #1 ranked bullpen in baseball.
I went through an examination of it in my 67/1 recco on them winning the division at the start of this year.
The line-up? ...well you can add Longoria to the list of amazing athletes the Rays hold.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

W.HI.P 04-27-2008 12:49 PM

The Lakers and Penny's Dodgers paid out, while Montreal did not contribute to our wallet.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
NHL
I'd give you the huge price on the New York Rangers Win in Pittsburgh, but its only 15 minutes away.
I managed a pretty wager.

San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars

You can call it what you like, but this is a solid bet.

Bet on the San Jose Sharks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 04-27-2008 07:11 PM

Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 San Diego Padres
Arizona is now 8.5 games up on the Padres.
The Padres lose the last 3 games Peavy started in.
He did look good out there, but Webb proved better in San Diego.

Tampa Bay Rays 3-0 Boston Red Sox.
Shields outpitched Beckett who started in Matsuzaka's place.
This is no suprise result to anyone who's been watching.
Tampa Bay moves into 1st place in the American league east.
All this in a season where Kazmir has yet to throw a pitch.
Tampa Bay sweeps the Red Sox right after sweeping the Jays, and now travel to Baltimore to face one of the weakest teams in the game.

I'm about to watch Jered Weaver against Verlander.
Here we get to see 2 amazing young pitchers against two of the absolute elite line-ups in the game.
Although Verlander is about a year more progressed than Weaver, I trust the Angels line-up to outscore Detroit's.

My money's on the Angels!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

San Antonio Spurs(-5.0) vs Phoinex Suns
Spurs lead series 3-1

This is where it ends for the mediocre Suns.
It'll take years for them to rebuild as this team expires.

Bet on the San Antonio Spurs


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Detroit Pistons(-9.0) vs Philadelphia 76ers
Series is tied 2-2

Detroit holds home court advantage, but I'm not sure if thats gonna be enough for them to go through.
Not that the 76ers are a great team, but they can certainly compare with the Pistons.
This one should be close. 9.0 points makes this a good bet.

Bet on the Philadelphia 76ers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Dallas Stars vs San Jose Sharks
Stars lead series 2-0

I'm starting to really dislike this Stars team. :mad2:
This is pretty much do or die.
If I lose this one, I raise my hands.

Bet on the San Jose Sharks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

San Diego Padres vs Philadlphia Phillies
G.Maddux - C.Hamels

Hamels got roughed up in his last start, bringing his fans back to reality.
He faces the weakest line-up in the game, so he should rebound here.

Bet on the Philadelphia Phillies

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles
J.Hammel - G.Olson

After a team wins 6 in a row, I usually avoid them or bet against them, but not today.
I'll continue to ride on them as they face one of the absolute weakest team in the game.
B.Roberts is the one and only corner stone left on the Orioles and rumour's say that he's gonna leave the team following in Bedard's and Patterson's footsteps.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland A's @ LA Angels
G.Smith - J.Saunders

Most people did not know who Saunders was coming into this season.
After going 4-0 and posting a 2.55 ERA, he's now confirming the signs of greatness we saw last season.
He's up against a pretty weak line-up and should lower his ERA.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Colorado Rockies @ San Fransisco Giants
A.Cook vs T.Lincecum

You would have to be crazy to bet against Lincecum this year.
I have been known to have some loose screws. :rollanim:
Te reason for me going against him here is the fact that A.Cook has shown that he is at the top of the game.
Cook has a much easier job in this one as the two line-ups are leagues apart.
It should be low scoring, but the core of the rockies line-up should be able to put a few runs up to give Lincecum his first loss of the season.

Bet on the Colorado Rockies

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

UEFA Champions league soccer

Man Utd vs Barcelona

Getting rid of the buck-tooth varmit was key for Barcelona.
The are clearly superior to Utd who are looking at their season collapsing into mediocrity.
A 1-1 draw = a ticket for the spaniards just as much as the win, so we have to take both results.

Bet on the Draw
Bet on the Barcelona Win

Its still not enough to save the season for Utd,
They'd have to win the CL, or at the least the League if they want to save face.
At this point, neither is secure.

W.HI.P 04-29-2008 09:29 PM

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks
Series tied 2-2

I figured they'd rest in at least 1 of the 2 away games, but now its back to buisness.

Bet on the Boston Celtics

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Philadelphia Flyers vs Montreal Canadiens
Flyers lead series 2-1

One might think that The Candiens superior speed would wear down with the multiple games in the play-offs.
That might start to show against the Penguins in the Eastern finals, but I can't see the Flyers going further than this point.
The one main weakness for Montreal in this series has been goaltending.

Bet on the Montreal Canadiens

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB


Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles
Sonnastine - Burres

This will be Sonnastine's last start for some time as Kazmir returns this weekend!
If there is one guarentee in this division, its that Baltimore will finish in last place.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Milwakie Brewers @ Chicago Cubs
Suppan - Dempster

Dempster's looking for his 4th win in a row.
He's looking pretty good as a starter!

Bet on the Chicago Cubs

They're in the CL final and they're tied for first in the league with 2 games left. I think they're in a pretty good place to "save face".

W.HI.P 04-30-2008 09:04 PM

If Chelsea takes the CL, I think Utd's year will be under par.
Even if they win the silly premiership.
Now, should Chelsea get the double?
Well, that would crumble Utd season to pieces.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Uefa Cup Semi-final

Zenit vs Bayern Munich

I can't see how the Germans are gonna lose this cup.
The win pays 1.90.

Bet on Bayern Munich

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles

Garza - Burres

The Rays #3 starter has returned.
It usually takes a start or two to get on top of things.
This Orioles line-up should provide him with a chance to make up some good numbers.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas City Royals @ Texas Rangers
Greinke - Ponson

Greinke is the real deal.
Watch him blank this Rangers line-up.

Bet on the Kansas City Royals

NHL

Dallas Stars vs San Jose Sharks

Ride on the Sharks.
Should they win the series, you'll get some good money in there.
I can afford a loss should they be eliminated.

Bet on the San Jose Sharks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Seattle Mariners @ NY Yankees
Bedard - Wang

Wang won't lose too many games this year, but he's out-classed here.
Bedard is made for facing a team like the Yankees.
Expect double digit K's here.
Low scoring game. JJ Putz closes it out.
It pays well.

Bet on the Seattle Mariners


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Milwakee Brewers @ Houston Astros

Villaneuva - Oswalt

First thing to mention here is Lance Berkman.
The man is out of this world..... Watch him!
Houston is a better team than their record shows and they will climb up.
Oswalt won't get many losses this season.

Bet on the Houston Astros

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago Cubs @ St Louis Cardinals
R.Hill - Wainwright

Hill makes it an amazing 1-2 following home run hitting Zambrano.
Cubs will finish ahead of the Cardinals this year IMO.
Fukodome is coming off a 4/4 day, and thats not by chance.
BTW ... Soriano's back!

Bet on the Chicago Cubs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies
B.Penny - J.Francis

This should be interesting, as Francis has really improved this year.
As long as Penny is pitching the way he is, I'll be riding on him.

Bet on the LA Dodgers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Mets @ Arizona Diamondbacks
J.Maine - M.Owings

Possibly the two best teams in the National League.
Byrnes is the man in Arizona while the Mets have plenty of players stepping it up..... Church is certainly worth of mentioning.
Lets not forget, the best player in baseball:Jose Reyes, is now slowly getting in form... Don't expect that form to pause till after the world series.
Maine should do well here, despite pitching in a batters park.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Baltimore Orioles @ LA Angels
J.Guthrie - Jered Weaver

Jered Weaver showed his stuff in his last start... he looks really good!
The Angels line-up is getting hits from all over the place.
The Blue Jays will surpass the Orioles soon enough for 4th place in the A-East..... a huge loosing streak is on the brink for Baltimore.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-03-2008 12:12 AM

Ok, that was pretty cool.
San Jose forces game 6!
Penny, Maine, Oswalt and the Cubs won.
Weaver and Bedard with the losses.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Detroit Pistons(-8.0) vs Orlando Magic
Series tied 0-0

You gotta like Dwight's Magic here.
Orlando has had some extra rest for this game 1.
-8.0 points are unjust here.

Bet on the Orlando Magic

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New Orlean Hornets(-3.0) vs San Antonio Spurs
Series tied 0-0

Huge differences here.
Chris Paul's Hornets are clearly superior.
San Antonio will do well to take it to game 6.

Bet on the New Orlean Hornets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Philadelphia Flyers @ Montreal Canadiens
Flyers lead series 3-1

Game 6 in Phillie seems innevitable.

Bet on the Montreal Canadiens

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox
J.Shields - J.Beckett

The Rays go back in 1st with a win here.
Beckett is elite, no doubt.
Shields pitched a complete game shut-out allowing 2 hits and 1 walk against this Red Sox team last Saturday.
The Rays line-up has proven to be impossible to blank.
This win pays a pretty price, take it!

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

deadbeater 05-03-2008 05:37 PM

Zenit and Chelsea all the way, and Wang will be 30-0!! Ha ha take that, WHIP!!

BTW, how well you did on the horses?

W.HI.P 05-03-2008 07:13 PM

Take what? Chelsea's always been my favorite team from the land of Eng.
You wanna back up that silly 30-0 prediction on Wang?
A wager maybe? (Donation to the mug?)

Quote:

BTW, how well you did on the horses?
You must mean the Kentucky derby.
I didn't touch the race.
Next race i wager on will be in Dubai.

W.HI.P 05-03-2008 09:14 PM

So the Canadiens are out.
That leaves us with the Penguins from the East, and the Sharks from the west.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Dallas Stars vs San Jose Sharks
Stars lead series 3-2

Still riding on the Sharks!

Bet on the San Jose Sharks


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

LA Lakers(-7.0) vs Utah Jazz

The Jazz should manage to pull off at least 1 win in at home, but not here.

Bet on the LA Lakers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

San Fransisco Giants @ Philadelphia Phillies
Lincecum - Hamels

Two amazing young pitchers head to head here.
Although it would seem that Hamels has an easier job facing a weaker line-up.. having seen both of them this year, I'd have to say that Lincecum is in greater form.
This should pay a pretty price as well.

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays
Contreras - Halladay

Contreras does have bad days, but when he's good, he's amazing!
This very weak blue Jays line-up should be an easy job.
Halladay, although coming off a pretty good outing, is more than likely to allow 5-6 runs here.
Toronto is also the huge favorite here.

Bet on the Chicago White Sox

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Baltimore Orioles @ LA Angels
Trachsel - Saunders

Saunders is now 5-0 with a 2.08 ERA!!
I expect him to continue doing what he's been doing.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Mets @ Arizona Diamondbacks

J.Santana - Haren

Haren's numbers at the end of this year will not be as good as last year despite pitching against weaker bats.
Only Webb can pitch gems in Arizona.
J.Santana starts showing his stuff around this time every year.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-05-2008 04:25 AM

Ok, so all we have left is the Penguins.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Philadelphia Phillies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
J.Moyer - M.Scherzer

You've got to trust me on this one.
Watch this kid Scherzer.
I had the privledge of watching him earlier on this year, and then in his debut a few days ago.
He's got dynamite pitches.
My only concern is how many innings he's gonna last.
He should easily hit 10 k's.

Bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

classicman 05-05-2008 03:37 PM

Flyers lose in four!








What? - It worked last series.

W.HI.P 05-06-2008 10:44 PM

I hope so clasicman.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Orlando Magic(-3.5) vs Detroit Pistons
Pistons lead the series 2-0

Game 2 was unfair to the Magic.
They'll need to take these 2 home games if they wanna take out the Pistons.
I think they're capable of making it to the next round.

Bet on the Orlando Magic

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Lakers(-6.5) vs Utah Jazz
Lakers lead series 1-0

I can't understand why this spread isn't in double digits.
The Lakers are by far superior to this Jazz team.

Bet on the LA Lakers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Clevland Indians @ NY Yankees
C.Lee - C.Wang

Lee leads all pitchers in baseball.
He has clearly improved since last year, but I do not believe he will remain in the top slot for long.
He is however clearly superior to Mr.Wang.
V.Martinez is also rested for this game and should go yard in this one.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Mets @ LA Dodgers
Maine - Penny

You won't find me betting against the Mets this year, but against Penny in this one, i'm gonna have to.

Bet on the LA Dodgers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays
Garza - Marcum

I can't see how the Blue Jays are gonna avoid another sweep from the Rays... their best chance came in Burnet's start against Sonnastine.
Garza will only get better as time goes by.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-07-2008 10:22 PM

The Mets killed Penny hurting my fantasy stats :right:
Lee remains the #1 ranked pitcher in baseball by blanking the yankees and serving Wang his 1st loss of the season.
Orlando made things right by winning game 3, and the Lakers so far are killing the Jazz.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

San Antonio Spurs(-6.5) vs New Orlean Hornets

You have to go with the superior team here.
The Spurs may win one of these next two games but 6.5 points is a gift.

Bet on the New Orlean Hornets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Detroit Red Wings vs Dallas Stars

You're gonna have to go with the rested Wings here.
The Stars have just gone through 14 games against the two toughest teams in the game.

Bet on the Detroit Red Wings


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Boston Red Sox @ Detroit Tigers
Beckett - Verlander

Although off to a slow start, Verlander is an elite pitcher.
The Tigers are clearly a superior team to the aging Sox.

Bet on the Detroit Tigers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Philadelphia Phillies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
Myers - Webb

I do expect Arizona to go in a slump, but its not gonna start with Webb.... He's way too good.

Bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Toronto Blue Jays @ Clevland Indians
Halladay - Sabathia

The line-ups are leagues apart.
Sabathia is also a better pitcher than the Doc.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Baltimore Orioles @ Kansas City Royals
Trachsel - Meche

Meche came back to his old self in his last start.
You can expect him to continue his good showing against this weak team.

Bet on the Kansas City Royals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres
Cook - Peavy

Betting against Peavy so far this year has paid off.
No reason to stop now with these kind of odds.
Cook can have another quality start against the weakest line-up in the game.

Bet on the Colorado Rockies

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago White Sox @ Seattle Mariners
Contreras - Silva

I like what I've seen from Contreras so far.
He is capable of blanking a team like Seattle on a good day.
The white sox bats are on fire and will innevitably score.

Bet on the Chicago White Sox

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-09-2008 10:50 PM

Cincinnati Reds @ New York Mets

He's with the Mets now, and against a pretty weak team.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Philadelphia Phillies @ San Fransisco Giants

J.Moyer - T.Lincecum

I'm 100% on Lincecum's games this year, riding on him, and taking his only loss of the season.
He won't be loosing much at all this year, so we're back to riding on him.

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

W.HI.P 05-10-2008 11:52 PM

Toronto Blue Jays @ Clevland Indians
S.Marcum - C.Lee

Lee remains the #1 ranked pitcher in the game.
He will fall from that slot at some point.

The Jays are incapable of hurting this pitcher at this time.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

Seattle Mariners @ Texas Rangers

Bedard is truly unbeatable when he's healthy.
It looks like he's back to 100%.
Expect an exceptional amount of Strikeouts in this game!

Bet on the Seattle Mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Houston Astros @ San Fransisco Giants
R.Oswalt - B.Zito

The man is breaking the rules, he is by far the great bat in baseball at this time!
Take a look at his numbers:
Lance Berkman
.386 average = Ranked by far, #1 in baseball
12 home runs = Ranked #2 in baseball
39 Runs = Ranked, by far #1 in baseball
35 RBI's = Ranked #2 in baseball

Zito is in trouble.
Oswalt is showing his stuff this year, the Giants should be easy.

Bet on the Houston Astros

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Diego Padres @ Chicago Cubs
R.Wolf - C.Zambrano

The :dedhorse: against Soriano, D.Lee, A.Ramirez, Fukudome and Soto.... he's dead meat.
C.Zambrano will have a party against the weakest line-up in the game.

Bet on the Chicago Cubs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-12-2008 11:54 PM

Lance Berkman goes 3 for 4, hits a 2 run homerun ranking him #1 in home-runs in baseball as well.
If you remember how he looked last year, and take a look at the man now, you'll see how fit he has become.
I mean, he's got 6 stolen bases as well.
I can't see him slowing down anytime soon.

Cliff Lee actually managed to lower his 0.86 ERA, down to 0.67.
He blanked the Jays, despite Betancourt blowing it in extra innings.
He easily continues to rank as the #1 pitcher in baseball.

Zambrano got the win, while the Cubs line-up beat up on Wolf.
Bedard does not look like he's close to being the strike-out king he was last season.... we need to keep a close eye on him in the near future though.

How do you like our Long Term AL East winner, 67/1 shot, 22-16 Tampa Bay Rays?
Please tell me some of you took that price!

Generally its not a good idea to bet on a pitcher in his first start, but I got info that Sowers is in good shape coming into his game and will try to give the managment a hard desicion on sending him back down to triple A after this start.
Cueto is good but is far from being as good as he will get.

I've got money on the Lakers and the Celtics making it to the Finals, but I gotta tell you, I'm afraid of Chris Paul and his team.
I Kinda want the Spurs to win this game as they pose no threat on the Lakers, but you got to be realistic.
There is no competition in this one.
The Hornets are leagues ahead of the Spurs, and will have no problem here.

B.Penny- B.Arroyo

Bet on the LA Dodgers


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-20-2008 10:13 AM

The LA Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Rays both won!

So the Lakers will face the Spurs.

Celtics win the finals in game 6 against the Lakers.
If Bynum was on the team, I'd say that Garnett can't defend both Bynum and Gasol.
At this time, with Bynum out with surgery, it looks like a miss-match. Garnett and Pierce as a defencive pair, eliminate the main keys of the Lakers.

Loads of money on this game.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners
J.Verlander - C.silva

Both of these teams are accomplishing less than expected so far this year.
Both teams will improve, but I expect Detroit to actually make a serious challenge to win their division.
The bats will get better, but its kind of hard to have a winning record when a pitcher with the capablities that Verlander has is not on track.
And your #1 key in the Bullpen Zumaya, is on the DL.
I do expect Verlander to improve dramatically.

Bet on the Detroit Tigers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles
M.Mussina vs D.Cabrera

The Yankees are without their leader (Catcher) Possada.

Mussina should do just fine in this game.
Cabrera has got some serious pitches, but, can you say home-run here?

Boston Red Sox vs KC Royals
J.Masterson vs G.Meche

The price is huge.

Toronto Blue Jays vs LA Angels
D.McGowan vs J.Lackey

I have nothing against the McGowan, its just that I don't expect him to be able to keep it in the park against some of these hitters.

Lackey, unlike some other pitchers, needs less time to find his groove.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago White Sox vs Clevland Indians
J.Contreras vs C.C.Sabathia

I won't be suprised if Contreras continues his superb form.
The truth is though, that Sabathia is a better pitcher.
And Clevland's line-up, is still better than Chicago's despite their improvments.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland A's vs Tampa Bay Rays
G.Smith vs S.Kazmir

Kazmir is very hard to beat.
The Bull-pen is elite.
The Rays line-up takes them into contention.

The A's, without a doubt, are amongst the 5 worst teams in baseball.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Colorado Rockies vs San Fransisco Giants
A.Cook vs T.Lincecum

Verlander got the win for Detroit.
Sabathia lost out to Contreras, and Lackey got the win for the Angels.

I expect him to continue to pitch at this level.

Clodfobble 05-21-2008 10:28 PM

I absolutely buy your theory, W.HI.P, but I think you have cause & effect switched.

It's not that the games are rigged to end in the way that will be most profitable for the bookies. It's that the bookies know what they're doing, and thus are setting themselves up to be profitable based on what they know to be the most likely outcome (in this case, a draw.) It's not a conspiracy, it's just good business decisions.

W.HI.P 05-22-2008 08:11 PM

I'm glad I didn't go to the Angels@Blue Jays game as Ervin Santana is pitching in Saunders place.

It is wise to collect the bets of the masses, yes.

Take a step back and open your mind......

When I speak of the money collectors, its not the dude you call up on the phone.
I speak of a group of people who collect the majority of wagers world-wide.

When the amount of money wagered is greater than the value of all organizations involved, it becomes suspect.

At close examination of all of the highest wagered events these past 12 years, we'll find the exact same thing, over and over again:

The masses lose.

That is what I take advantage of.
Betting against highly wagered events, on the bet where the masses lose.
In Soccer, its the draw.
in the NFL, its the loss of the team being bombarded by the media.
You see, its that media that influences the masses in their bets.
The media always guides the masses away from the winning bet.
They just sweep up all the money.

Here are some recent examples:

NFL
2007-2008
New England Patriots
Dallas Cowboys
Green Bay Packers

2006-2007
Baltimore Ravens
New Orlean Saints
New England Patriots

Here were 2 of the most extreme cases:

Horse-racing
1991 Derby(Royal Ascot)

Odds on favorite Tenby.

A tiny, quick horse, bombarded by the media, while in reality as proven after the derby, was a small calibure horse, who could not win out against Reverley's Opera House, or White Muzzle.

Soccer
2000 Euro

Holland

This was probably the most extreme brain-washing I've ever seen.
All European countries were bombared by the Media about Holland playing at home, showing Orange colours all the time, Rud this and Van Nistlroy that......
Every single person watching the Euro was convinced that Holland would win it all.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This world is built on deception.
Credit, mortages, the stock market, placing invesments within the bank
All these systems are built to keep the masses down.
To maintain control, power.
Tying up your money, your power.
Money makes money.

Jackson is making a strong case for being the Rays #4 or #5 starter.

5)E.Jackson(24yrs) 3-3... 3.47 ERA

These are some of the young bats:

Longoria is 23
BJ Upton is 23
Crawford is still just 26!
Honourable mention to the 24 year old Catcher Navarro, who is batting 3.55 after 107 at bats.

The Rays Closer Percival has been a huge key to their success.
The Rays have won the last 11 games he's been involved in, he's got 14 saves and a 2.61 ERA with a 1K per inning ratio.

I gave this team to simply win their division against these falling empires at 67/1 a few months back, it was not by luck.

MLB


Atlanta Braves vs Arizona Diamondbacks
J.Jurrjens - B.Webb

Jurrjens has been quite impressive, but if i'm gonna bet on a pitcher this year,
its this guy, Webb!
Hey, Eric Byrnes just got a grand Slam today.
You know what it means when this guy gets it going.

Bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Blatimore Orioles vs NY Yankees
G.Olson - D.Rasner

Rasner is looking good: 3-0, 1.89 ERA!
Here are two teams heading in two seperate directions.

Bet on the New York Yankees

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago Cubs vs Los Angelos Dodgers
R.Dempster - C.Billingsley

If you've been watching Dempster lately, than you know how remarkably he's pitching.
The Cubs line-up i've mentioned time and time again.

The Dodgers seem a disapointment, not onl the pitching staff, but the line-up.
I figured, if there is a team in this division who can challenge Arizona, it would be this team.
I mean the Padres are a laughing stock.
The Giants look even worse than San Diego.
The Rockies actually llok better than the Dodgers right about now.

Bet on the Chicago Cubs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays vs Texas Rangers
S.Kazmir vs S.Ponson

I'm not a fan of the Rays, I'm simply pointing them out, as they are elite.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-27-2008 11:45 AM

Webb got hit against and lost.
Rasner pitched a gem, but the Yankees could not get the win.
Dempster was amazing once again getting the win for the Cubs.
Kazmir was brilliant yet again, keeping the Rays in 1st place overall!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Clevland Indians vs Chicago White Sox
A.Laffey - A Buehrle

If Laffey keeps pitching as he has, the Indians won't have trouble getting the win here.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays vs Texas Rangers
A.Sonnastine - V.Padilla

If Tampa's gonna lose anytime soon, you'd think it would be here where Texas's #1 faces the Rays #4.
I'm still gonna ride on the #1 team in baseball.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Mets vs Florida Marlins
J.Santana - A.Miller

Small price, but its gonna happen.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins
B.Bannister - N.Blackburn

The Royals may be due for a win, but it will be tough to hit against Blackburn.

Bet on the Minnesota Twins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Fransisco Giants
D.Haren - T.Lincecum

I've had a few arguments about Haren.
IMO, he's not as good as his #'s show.
Lincecum is almost unbeatable.
The Giants pay well here!

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox

M.Batista vs D.Matsuzaka

The price on Seattle at home is unbelievably high.
Ok, so Matsuzaka's pitching and Batista is destined to get beat up.
Seattle is on a 7 game loosing streak.
Loosing streaks do come to an end, and they always pay well.

Bet on the Seattle Mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Diego Padres vs Washington Nationals
R.Wolf - S.Hill

Wolf was a bad pick-up for the Padres.
I'll be riding against him till the end of the seasson.

Bet on the Washington Nationals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-28-2008 08:05 AM

Great day yesterday despite the Rays and the National's losing.
Laffey continued dominating, getting the win for the Indians.
The Mets won.
Blackburn gave up 1 run for the Twins.
Lincecum proved superior to haren.
Seattle ended their 7 game losing streak with a win against Matsuzaka!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Boston Celtics(-5.5) vs Detroit Pistons
Series tied 2-2

Nothings gonna get in the way of this Celtics-Lakers final.

Bet on the Boston Celtics


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Detroit Tigers
J.Saunders vs A.Galarraga

A dangerous outing for Saunders, as he faces a line-up that has the ability to score multiple runs against any opponent.
However Saunders, with a good outing here, can be ranked the #1 pitcher in baseball at the end of the day!

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-29-2008 10:42 AM

Saunders failed to rank #1 last night, although he holds the same record as B.Webb: (9-2)

Not much to bet on today, tommorow is clearly a better day.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox
E.Jackson - J.Danks

The Rays look to maintain their #1 seed in baseball with a win here.
Tampa Bay's closer Percival is on the DL, so Wheeler will take over.
The Line-up is 100% and Jackson is an established starter.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Mets vs LA Dodgers

C.Vargas - B.Penny

The Dodgers line-up does not impress me at all.
In this case, i will be taking them as Penny is starting, and is destined to do well.
You won't find me going against the Mets often this year.

Bet on the LA Dodgers


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

St.Louis Cardinals vs Houston Astros

K.Lohse - R.Oswalt

Oswalt's numbers will improve as the year goes on.
Lance Berkman remains the #1 ranked bat in the Major leagues.
This one pays a pretty penny.

Bet on the Houston Astros


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 05-29-2008 11:35 PM

I told you that tommorow was gonna be a better day, but seriously, wtf is wrong with Brad Penny?

Lakers are in the final.
One win for the Celtics and were in for a HUGE pay-day!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Detroit Pistons(-6.0) vs Boston Celtics
Celtics lead series 3-2

I won't put any money on this game as I'm out for a fortune on my long term bets should the Celtics win this game.
For those of you who did not take my Lakers vs Celtics 25/1 (12/1) bet, take this game.
The scenario is the only thing thats gonna save this dying game.

Bet on the Boston Celtics

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings
Red Wings lead series 2-1

After game 2, every mofo I'd meet would tell me the same friggin thing: Red Wings in 4 ...like HELLO!!!!!
I answered:You're all brainwashed..... this will go to game 7.

Bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB


Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox

J.Shields - J.Contreras

Last year they called me crazy when I said that Contreras still had some games left.
This year he's proving me right.
In this particular game though, he is out-matched as Shields proves everytime he goes up there that he is elite.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


LA Angels vs Toronto Blue Jays

Jered Weaver - D.McGowan

Jered Weaver is one of the absolute elite pitchers in baseball.
Against this weak line-up, he will have no problems at all.

Bet on the LA Angels

W.HI.P 05-30-2008 10:32 PM

Huge pay-day!
The Boston Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons in game 6 winning the Eastern conference.
The Celtics will meet the Lakers in the finals.

Garnet takes Gasol out, and Pierce is probably the best guy in the game to mark Bryant.
Boston has the advantage.

Tampa Bay beat the White Sox maintaining 1st place in the MLB.

The Angels are tied with the Blue Jays in the 4th inning.

Stanley Cup game #4 tommorow night.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox
S.Kazmir vs J.Vasquez

Kazmir is clearly the best bet when the Rays are playing.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Toronto Blue Jays
J.Lackey vs S.Marcum

I'm not such a a big fan of Lackey, but Marcum isn't that good, and his numbers will rise as time passes.
The Angels are world series prone where the Blue Jays will only grab hold of fourth in their division because Roberts will be leaving the Orioles.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 06-01-2008 12:13 AM

Kazmir and the Rays, shut-out the White-sox!
They just keep winning!

The Angels beat the Jays!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

San Fransisco Giants vs San Diego Padres
T.Lincecum - R.Wolf

It does not get easier than this.
One of the most dominant pitchers in the game against a dead horse.

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Mets vs LA Dodgers
J.Santana - H.Kuroda

I'm not playing mister smart guy, I've bet against Johan in my life, more than I've bet on him.
I also like Kuroda....he's simply playing on a bad team.
Johan and Pedro, should the 2nd preform as expected, now as he returns, will be the greatest 1-2 in the game.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 06-02-2008 12:29 AM

Another perfect day as both the Giants and the Mets won!
To add to that, the Rays and the Angels also won!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Texas Rangers vs Clevland Indians
D.Mathis - A.Laffey

Laffey has really pitched beyond expectations so far.
The man holds a 1.59 ERA.
The Indians will get out of this slump, even with Hafner on the DL. They will make a challenge for this division.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

There's a lot of action on Tuesday.
We're talking Chamberlain's starting debut!
Pedro Martinez's return!
Saunders vs Bedard!
Francis vs Penny.
The Rays start their series with the Red Sox for the AL lead!
...........so save your money for then!

W.HI.P 06-03-2008 09:36 AM

The Indians won!
We're on a 3 day winning streak.

The Penguins forced a game 6 at the igloo.

Penny faces the Rockies, I will take that, but holod back on putting in the rec's till i see Penny back o his old self.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

NY Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays
J.Chamberlain - R.Halladay

Finally Joba gets to start for the Yankees.
He is clearly their best pitcher after their closer Rivera.
This guy is a great pitcher, this is not hype.

I wonder why people who don't watch the games hold such a strong opinion on the sport.
The Blue Jays suck.
Its not their record that sucks, its the team.
The locals would talk about the pitching staff.
One of the things you gotta look at when judging an ERA, is what teams that pitcher has faced.
If you take a closer look at the match-ups coming up, you'll see that the Jays schedule condemns their pitchers numbers.
The Yankees are the main threat to my Rays in the division.

The Jays will only be able to threaten the Orioles for 4th place this year.

Bet on the NY Yankees

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays
Masterson vs Garza

The Tampa Bay Rays are in first place in the American league.
The Angles are #2 forllowed by Boston.
That will not change after this game.
The Rays can seriously push away by winning this series.
This game pays well.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seattle Mariners vs LA Angels
Bedard - Saunders

The LA Angels have won their past 6 series, this should be #7.
They don't need to win this particular game for that to hapen.
Two amazing pitchers here makes the Under the best bet.

Bet on the Under


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Fransisco Giants vs NY Mets
B.Zito - P.Martinez

Pedro returns.
You can clearly expect him to be 100% ready for this.
His motivation is what seems to have been lacking in the recent past.
Based on the story of one of his late fathers last requests of wanting him to pitch again, should bring his motivation to its peak.
Reyes is on fire and Church is back!

Bet on the NY Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 06-04-2008 12:36 AM

Tampa Bay's lead is cut to 1/2 a game.
Chamberlain got beat up.
Saunders beat Bedard.
Pedro Martinez's return was a good one as the Mets won.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Boston Celtics(-2.5) vs LA Lakers
Series tied 0-0

I don't have to worry about this game as I've got money on both teams to take it all from early on in the season.
IMO, Bynum would have made this close.
Without him, the Lakers don't stand a chance.

Taking a step back though, I would not be suprised if this went to game 7... I mean, now that they've finally got people watching, it would be silly for them to cut it short.
Home teams should take the majority.

Bet on the Boston Celtics


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings
Red Wings lead series 3-2

I said that this'll go 7 games, and it should.
The perception left to anyone who watched game 5 is that the Wings will win, so a Peguins win is more than likely on money alone.
Game 7? 60-40 I suppose.
I look to make quite the profit should the underdog pull it off.

Bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Seattle Mariners vs LA Angels
C.Silva - Jered Weaver

Jered is the next Carpenter.

Bet on the LA Angels

Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays
Beckett - Jackson

Like it or not, Boston's season is over.
The Rays should withstand a late NYY charge should it come.
The Rays will hit Beckett.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays
Litsch - Mussina

Litsch's ERA will be over 5.00 at the end of this season.
Did I mention that the Blue Jays suck?
Yeah, well they do.

Texas Rangers vs Clevland Indians

Ponson - Lee

Ponson has shown some good stuff this year, but he is out-matched.
Lee holds an 8-1 record with a 1.88 ERA!
