eastern conference atlantic 1]pittsburgh penguins 34 2]new jersey devils 31 3]philadelphia flyers 27 4]new york rangers 27 5]new york islanders 25 the penguins, as expected, continue to be elite, but despite my projections in 06 for them to be in the stanley cup 3 years in a row, i don't think they're the top candidate this season. the devils are on the fall, but might squeeze in to the play-offs as some of the other competitors seem weaker. expect the rangers and flyers to get stronger as the season moves on...both teams are capable of going all the way. the islanders are better, but give em a couple years. northeast 1]ottawa senators 29 2]boston bruins 28 3]buffalo sabres 26 4]montreal canadiens 25 5]toronto maple leafs 17 the bruins should win this division, and the seantors should make the play-offs. the sabres, despite their early form, have fallen, and should fall some more. the canadiens are a better team, but suffer from injuries to key players. i have been making fun of the leafs for quite some time, but i must say, that they are, at this time, on the road to rebuilding...finally. they're getting rid of the old and going young...it'll take some years, but we finally have something positive to say about them. southeast 1]washington capitols 34 2]tampa bay lightening 25 3]atlanta thrashers 25 4]florida panthers 24 5]carolina hurricaine 15 no suprise here as far as washington is concerned. tampa bay is as young as a team can get. hedmans playing 28 minutes a game in his rookie season. tampa will suprise in the play-offs. atlanta is a really good team....bogosian looks like he'll be a dominant defender for years to come....i'll be suprised if they don't make the play-offs. florida, i'm not so sure about. carolina at the start of the season, for some reason, was placed as the 2nd favorite int his division. they are amongst the worst teams in the nhl western conference central 1]chicago blackhawks 34 2]nashville predators 29 3]columbus blue jackets 27 4]detroit red wings 26 5]st.louis blues 22 this is easily the best division in the west. the blackhawks, as i projected, have taken this division over. the blue jackets, with filatov sent down to russia, and mason playing less and less, look to be drafting this season, despite their already amazing team....look out for columbus next year as they may surpass chicago. nashville looks to fall after some early form. the blues are 2nd half of the season team, don't be suprised if they squeeze in to the play-offs again. the detroit red wings are in a tough position as their players are starting to use their sticks as canes. northwest 1]colorado avalanche 32 2]calgary flames 31 3]vancouver canucks 26 4]edmonton oilers 23 5]minesota wild 19 colorado is a suprise, but i don't think it will last. they may squeeze in to the play-offs as the west is becoming weaker as elite teams of the past look to rebuild. the flames as projected, should win this division, and seem to be, along with ottawa, the strongest canadian teams in the nhl. the canucks will not make the playoffs...you can quote me on that the canucks in my eyes, are the worst run franchise in the nhl the oilers have made the same kind of mistakes as the canucks, but they are younger. the wild are clearly rebuilding as they should. pacific 1]san jose sharks 36 2]la kings 30 3] dallas stars 29 4]phoinex coyotes 27 5]anaheim ducks 21 the sharks remain one the strongest teams in the nhl. not too many teams in the west will be able to beat them when it counts..they are a candidate for the stanley cup. no suprise in the kings as they hold some serious hockey players. the stars are as mediocre as ever. bryzgalov is one of the main reasons the coyotes have 27 points, but overall, they are well under par. the ducks, despite trading pronger, remain elite, but as mentioned at the start of the season, this is without doubt, a drafting year. |
not too many games this week in the nfl.
despite the giants loss in the mountains, lets make 4 bets for entertainment purposes. 1]buffalo bills vs miami dolphins[-3.5] 2]philadelphia eagles[-9.5] vs washington redskins 3]minnesota vikings[-10.5] vs chicago bears 4]baltimore ravens[-2.5] vs pittsburgh steelers 4 bets at $500 = $2000 123 124 134 234 3 wins = $3.500 4 wins = $14.000 |

It was an honest question. You had a great week the week before and this loss was so big the other way I was wondering whether you just thought the spread was off or if you had predicted a win. I guess it's a sensitive point for you.... but really, this behavious is totally inappropriate. You won't need to worry about my hurting your feelings any more, though -my tryng to follow your tips was more of a charitable thing than anything else. no skin off my nose.
But don't pm me again. |
When people start comments with 'oh dear' it could be mistaken for snarky....esp around here.
Maybe he didn't know that 'oh dear' was going to be followed by charitable feelings of good will. Kind of over kill to post a message instead of just asking him although I can see how shaken up you are. |
i guess no one here watched goodfellas.
don't take it personally monster. |
Yeah, W.HI.P. didn't mean anything by it. He'd tell his own brother to go fuck his mother.

being told to go fuck my mother is a non issue -my kids tell me that before breakfast, but a PM by definition is personal, just keep it public, mmmkay? Sky, you're deluded.

monster, what can i say...i'm an asshole, its just me.
take it or leave it. i didn't mean to hurt your feelings, although i assume that was your original goal. besides, some people are into incest....its a human thing. |
Don't tell me about your problems.
you who changed your stance while on your time out and fortified with beers you then came back to be rude to me twice don't make me your target for your bent up hostilities or whatever your problem is |
i'm not touching thursdays game this week as it is between two of the weakest teams in the game.
my bet of the week, is the giants, who at home, are taking 2.5 points from the weak cowboys. given the strong belief i have on this game, i'll be opening up the wallet this week and increase the money bet. we'll use the giants as a base, and combine it with, the dolphins, falcons, redskins, chiefs, bucs and jaguars. all teams are taking points, and other than the bucs, they're all at home. 1]new york giants vs dallas cowboys[-2.5] 2]miami dolphins vs new england patriots[-5.5] 3]atlanta falcons vs philadelphia eagles[-6.5] 4]washington redskins vs new orlean saints[-10.5] 5]kansas city chiefs vs denver broncos[-5.5] 6]carolina panthers[-6.5] vs tampa bay bucs 7]jacksonville jaguars vs houston texans[-1.5] 1 base with 6 games = 15 bets x $500 = $7.500 123 124 125 126 127 134 135 136 137 145 146 147 156 157 167 the base with... 2 wins = $3.500 3 wins = $10.500 4 wins = $21.000 5 wins = $35.000 6 wins = $52.500 this could end up being a very very good week. |
we'll be cashing in on $10.500
stay tuned for college bowl picks. our track record in the ncaaf bowls is remarkable. lets make some serious money |
so you won $3000? or you won your investment plus the $10,500? I assume the first, but just thought I'd ask to be sure.

one more win would have taken it to $13.500. thats why we bet in a defesive fashion. any other type of betting would give us a return of 0. i actually made a bit more than that as i had 21 bets rather than the 15 showing as i added the oakland win over the steelers. that game was not available when i posted the picks due to the question of wether or not the steelers qb would be starting. it finally opened up at 14.5, which in my eyes, was absurd. if you think about it, we lost 3 games, and made $3000. ..and thats what this thread is really about. not so much what to bet on, but how to bet. |
As you can probably tell, I have placed exactly zero bets in my life. I'm curious and I'm attempting to follow the logic. thanks.

Sunday December 20
1]New Orleans Bowl Southern Mississippi[-3.5] - Middle Tenn. St. Monday December 28 2]Independence Bowl Texas A&M - Georgia[-7.0] Tuesday December 29 3]Champs Sports Bowl Miami (FL)[-3.5] - Wisconsin 4]Sun Bowl Oklahoma[-9.5] - Stanford 5]Capital One Bowl Penn St.[-2.5] - LSU 6]Cotton Bowl Oklahoma St. - Mississippi[-3.0] Tuesday January 5 7]Orange Bowl Iowa - Georgia Tech[-4.0] Thursday January 7 8]BCS Championship Texas - Alabama[-5.5] 8 games combined make up 56 bets $100 a bet x 56 = $5.600 123 124 125 126 127 128 134 135 136 137 138 145 146 147 148 156 157 158 167 168 178 234 235 236 237 238 245 246 247 248 256 257 258 267 268 278 345 346 347 348 356 357 358 367 368 378 456 457 458 467 468 478 567 568 578 678 3 wins = $700 4 wins = $2.800 5 wins = $7.000 6 wins = $14.000 7 wins = $24.500 8 wins = $39.200 |
despite some good games, lets take it easy till the free money play-off games come.
1] atlanta falcons vs new orlean saints[-10.5] 2]minnesota vikings[-7.0] vs cincinnati bengals 3]dallas cowboys[-1.5] vs san diego chargers 4]new york giants vs philadelphia eagles[-1.5] 5]san fransisco 49ers vs arizona cardinals[-6.5] 10 bets x $300 = $3.000 123 124 125 134 135 145 234 235 245 345 3 wins = $2.100 4 wins = $8.400 5 wins = $21.000 the idea here is to get 4 wins if you can. 5 wins is not really expected, but may come for that big cash-out. hopefully if its a bad week, we get $2.100 back out of the $3.000 wagered. |
1] Green Bay [-3.0] vs Chicago

1] Green Bay [-3.0] vs Chicago
2]San Diego vs Dallas[-3] 3]NYJ -3 vs TB 4]new york giants vs philadelphia eagles[-1.5] 5]san fransisco 49ers vs arizona cardinals[-3.5] |
Whips got a great method of betting here its all about the base teams winning and if you can pick to winning spreads in a week which is really easy then your making money easy easy money !

i see you've done pretty well this week... 4 out of 4 Quote:
with a chance to make it $21.000 if arizona beats the spread...not bad , not bad at all. |
just so people get the true idea of what this sytem is, i'll go into further detail.
most people, make one straight bet on 3-6 games. this would require them to win 100 percent of their games to cash in. if we look at our accomplishments over the past 3 years in this thread, we will see that the majority of time, while picking 5 games, we get [3 out of 5] or [4 out of 5] correct. if we were to have wagered these weeks the way the majority of people gamble, we would have zero returns on these weeks. what this system provides is, instead of winning nothing on weeks where you go [3 out of 5] or [4 out of 5], you collect almost all of your money back while going [3 out of 5], and almost tripling your money while going [4 out of 5]. in a 3 week span, if you can achieve [4 out of 5] in 1 of those weeks, you will be in a positive $ net. the only negative aspect of this defencive system of wagering, is that should a week come around where you achieve [5 out of 5] your return is less than it would be than if you had bet the way most people bet. lets use xxxshowxxx's week for example. he's gone 4 out of 4 with 1 game left. what position would you rather be in. having wagered $3.000 would you rather have $8.400 already won and $21.000 sitting on arizona -3.5? or would you chose to be in a position where you've won nothing, but waiting on $60.000. greed would have us going after the larger sum, but thats where they get us. if you do the math, you'll see that [4 out of 5] comes a lot more often than [5 out of 5], and i'd like to cash in on that $8.400, so that its all good in the end no matter how that 5th game goes. look at the net of the year rather than the particular week you're in. |
hey guys well i guess luck was not with me completely last week end as arizona did not come threw but as whip was saying the method works for example if i were to of made the 5 team bet i would of lost as sure as i was on arizona winning they didnt. they had a terrible game and because of the defensive betting i stil won.Hopefully this week i can go 5 for 5 with these picks.
1] Ind -3 over Jack 2]GB +2 over Pit 3]NYG -3 over Was 4]Phi -8 over SF 5]Ks -1.5 over clev 10 bets x $300 = $3.000 123 124 125 134 135 145 234 235 245 345 And also for the remaining game: NO -7 over Dal Buf +7 over NE Ari -12 over Det Chi+11 over Bal Oak+14 over denver Seatle -6.5 over TB MIN -9 over Car |
That Philly pick scares me - although I'm a nobody and never bet anything.
Well actually I bet Radar once. . . sorta. I was right, but he'll never admit it. |
we'll be using saturday nights game as our base.
1]new orlean saints[-7.0] vs dallas cowboys i don't get the hype that this new orleans team is getting. this attack, is as good as it was last year. it was amazing last year, and it is amazing this year. what has improved a little bit, is their defence. does it make them more of a contender than last year? possibly. this bet is not about that, its about this weeks game against the desperate cowboys. with the saints motives under serious question in addition to the perception of the masses, we'll have to use this game as a base. 2]tennessee titans[-3.5] vs miami dolphins this dolphins team is what it is because of bill. no ronnie brown injury is gonna get rid of this team, which has introduced a revolution of the sport that is being used throughout the nfl and college football. the miami dolphins can win this division for the 2nd year in a row, but they're gonna have to beat the titans in tennessee to maintain their title. 3]seattle seahawks[-7.5] vs tampa bay bucs both teams motives are under question here, as both teams are looking to lose for draft purposes at this point. it is more than likely that the home team achieves this draft goal. huge 7.5 point cushion on ability alone. 4]pittsburgh steelers vs green bay packers[-1.5] i have to give some credit to ben here as he has taken a greater beating over the past 2 seasons than any qb in the league. he is an iron horse. the attack is a mess. the steelers are falling to the pit of the nfl. however, their aging defence, although on the way out, still has this time to play, and they will. watch this possible wild card packers attack to get banged up in these match-ups 5]carolina panthers vs minnesota vikings[-9.5]. its resting time. 6]washington redskins vs new york giants[-3.5] the redskins need to replace clinton portis, and they're aiming very very high in the draft. is the team capable? clearly they are, but they will not win this game. the chances of the giants winning by 3 points is a lot less probable than the chances of the giants winning by 4 or more, so given the odds, we're gonna have to go with the play-off team. 1 base combined with 5 games make up 10 bets. 10 bets x $300 = $3.000 123 124 125 126 134 135 136 145 146 156 the base with 2 wins = $2.100 3 wins = $6.300 4 wins = $12.600 5 wins = $21.000 |

Im actually gona switch the NE game pick and Put it NE -7 Over buffalo as i dont see buffalo matching NE offensively. i think this game will be a 10 pointer by the end. |

the steelers ol was outmatched last week against the browns dl, you could see that coming from a mile away.
any week is projected to be a bad week for the steelers protection, but i'm afraid the packers ol is completely outmatched against the steelers kinda pressure, which is overwhelmingly superior to the packers. i'm not sure how long you've been reading this thread, but nobody on this planet has been pointing at the steelers ol longer than i have. i'm aware of how weak it is, the difference in this particular game where both ol's are outmatched, is the qb's. rogers will not have time to use his weapons to their specific attributes. rogers is not quite as tough as ben is. maybe we should be giving the under |
I was actually feeling kind of optimistic about the cowboys chances in New Orleans.....then I read this thread, and WHiP is picking the boys.
I don't like it. I don't like it a little bit. I still think we take the Saints' perfect record away tonight. I'm even wearing my Romo jersey today. last time i wore it, the cowboys beat the iggles 20-16. what could possiblie go rong? |
thats the way to start a week.
its so much easier when you start sunday with your base already through. its very likely that we will be ending this week with a profit....lets see how much. Quote:
lets not forget, our bets for the ncaaf bowls start tonight with southern mississippi. Quote:
|
this week is another example of how our betting system works.
we won the base, and 4 wins, so we've already won $12.600. this is the position you'll want to be in having won 5 out of 5 with 1 game left.... already more than 4 times your money wagered our winnings for this week will go up to $21.000 with a giants win -3.5 tonight. this is how you cash in for sure on your good weeks. you don't want to be in a position most people find themselves in having all the winnings riding on the final game. you gotta take the money. |
wow, weeks like this don't come so often....[6 out of 6]
my actual net on this season in the nfl rises to +$33.000. with free money games in the play-offs, our objective is to add a zero to the end of that figure. since this thread is called betting tips, let me give a tip. when winning good money, people tend to up their stakes...this is a no-no. one might consider going the opposite way and decrease their wager. after all, you've achieved the objective of profit from gambling, now don't go giving it all back. the most logical thing to do, since your betting is working as you're in a positive net, is not to change anything...you bet $3.000 before you won, bet $3.000 again. to those who won some serious money this week, you're welcome. |
when betting in a week where there is an early thursday, or saturday night game... you need to ask yourself wether or not you're gonna use the game.
if the answer is yes, then one should use the early game as a base. if its a strong base, then go ahead and bet your usual. if the game is not suited to be a base, still use it as a base, but decrease the money wagered. the reason why one should use the game as a base, is if the game goes through, you won't want to be holding bets that do not contain this game. if it does not go through, you can simply treat the week as a new one we'll be using saturday nights game as a base for this week. 1] tennessee titans[-2.5] vs san diego chargers the difference in quality between these two teams is overwhelming on both sides of the ball. the only thing to worry about is wether or not the chargers are resting, cause otherwise, this is an easy double digit win. 2]miami dolphins[-3.0] vs houston texans if there is one thing you can count on, its that bill has his priorities straight. when you have to win, you try your best to win. when its time to lose, you gotta try your best to lose. the dolphins will finish out this season without another win. 4]clevland browns[-3.5] vs oakland raiders another case where both teams want to lose for draft purposes. its very common that the home team achieves this draft goal. 3]pittsburgh steelers[-2.5] vs baltimore ravens ben had an amazing game last week against the under par packers defence. sunday will prove to be a different story. the man may be an iron horse, but he's up against some of the toughest men in the sport. i doubt ben will finish out the game. 1 base, combined with 3 games make up 3 bets. 3 bets x $1.000 = $3.000 123 124 134 the base with 2 wins = $7.000 the base with 3 wins = $21.000 |
this is how our college football bowl games bets are looking so far...
1 southern mississippi lost but 2 georgia won and 3 wisconsin won these are the remaining games 4]Sun Bowl Oklahoma[-9.5] - Stanford 5]Capital One Bowl Penn St.[-2.5] - LSU 6]Cotton Bowl Oklahoma St. - Mississippi[-3.0] Tuesday January 5 7]Orange Bowl Iowa - Georgia Tech[-4.0] Thursday January 7 8]BCS Championship Texas - Alabama[-5.5] these are the bets that are still riding. in green, the games already won 234 235 236 237 238 245 246 247 248 256 257 258 267 268 278 345 346 347 348 356 357 358 367 368 378 456 457 458 467 468 478 567 568 578 678 this is what we're looking to make out of the college bowl game bets 3 wins = $700 4 wins = $2.800 5 wins = $7.000 6 wins = $14.000 7 wins = $24.500 |
even though week 17 has alwasy been good to us, due to the inbalance of betting that takes place on teams that need to win, we'll be saving our serious money for the free money play-off games.
we'll be using the cowboys as a base. 1] dallas cowboys[-2.5] vs philadelphia eagles and i'm an eagles fan. 2]minnesota vikings[-8.5] vs new york giants 3]houston texans[-8.5] vs new england patriots 4]tampa bay bucs vs atlanta falcons[-3.5] 5]arizona cardinals[-3.5] vs green bay packers 6]denver broncos[-13.5] vs kansas city chiefs 1 base with with 5 games = 10 bets 10 bets x $300 = $3.000 123 124 125 126 134 135 136 145 146 156 the base with 2 wins = $2.100 3 wins = $6.300 4 wins = $12.600 5 wins = $21.000 |
2 georgia won
3 wisconsin won 4 stanford won 6 mississippi won 234 236 246 346 we're already cashing in on $2.800 with our 4 wins so far. 2 more games left....... Tuesday January 5 7]Orange Bowl Iowa - Georgia Tech[-4.0] Thursday January 7 8]BCS Championship Texas - Alabama[-5.5] here are the rest of our bets still running, in green, the games already won 237 238 247 248 267 268 278 347 348 367 368 378 467 468 478 678 1 win in the last 2 games will bring us to 5 wins = $7.000 if we win both games, we'll get the maximum of 6 wins = $14.000 |
Quote:
another good week, we've got the base, and 3 wins, so we'll be cashing in on $6.300 this week. bringing our profits for this nfl season back up to +$33.300 the best is yet to come |
we can expand our wallets just a little bit for this week, but lets still save the serious money for the following weeks.
we'll be using the eagles as a base 1] dallas cowboys[-4.0] vs philadelphia eagles perceptions are far from reality. the superior team will win. 2]cincinnati bengals[-2.5] vs new york jets another game where perceptions were falsely altered. i don't think everyone bought this one. the superior team should win this. 3]arizona cardinals[-2.5] vs green bay packers aaron rogers should shine in this game as he has evolved into a dominant qb. i don't trust the packers defence, but i can't say that the cardinals is any better. 4]new england patriots[-3.5] vs baltimore ravens if you wanna send your team out full force week 17 to win a game you don't need to win, you're gonna pay for it. bad managment from the patriots leads to the wes welker injury. brady's line remains above par, but where does he throw the ball to when moss is covered. the ravens defence will look pretty good facing this crippled attack. 1 base combined with 3 games = 3 bets 3 bets x $2.500 = $7.500 123 124 134 the base with 2 wins = $17.500 3 wins = $52.500 |

mlb
al east new york yankees its not really the line-up that puts this team into contention this year. its the starting pitchers. to add to cc.sabathia, they picked vazquez, who's coming off an outstanding season. chamberlain makes up a perfect number 3, or even 2 for the future. i don't think burnett fits this team or ball park. what is pettite still doing around tampa bay rays this is a very serious team that will be dominating this sport throughout this decade. the line-up is pure insanity crawford upton longoria pena burrell bartlett zorbist they picked up one of the best batting catchers in the game kelly shoppach to back up navarro perez price will end up this teams number 1 starter. shields, garza, davis and niemann will win a lot of games with this team. this rays bullpen is even stronger this season with the addition of rafael soriano. baltimore orioles this team is seriously improved, and you could see it coming as this franchise, unlike the jays, made the proper moves and now hold a team that can be competitive. the line-up is truly elite, the only true questions that arise, are regarding the starting pitchers, who may just end up suprising us. no doubt the bullpen is in tact with the additions. i can see them finishing in 3rd place in this division boston red sox all 3 teams above have superior line-ups to the boston red-sox this season. beckett is getting worse as he grows old. i never liked lackey, even as an angel, another starter on the decline. lester, matsuzaka, bucholz and wakefield are all under par. the one and only thing that remains solid in this red-sox team, is the bullpen. you can completely forget about this team competiting for any pennant anytime soon. toronto blue jays wtf is wrong with this team. i'm willing to wager with anyone, that this blue jays team will finish in last place in this division. its a non-existant team...its a disgrace to the game. shame shame. and to be in this division other than lind, and maybe hill, there is nothing worth mentioning there is not a division in baseball that would see this team anywhere but in last place. this team is clearly, the worst team in baseball. . i have to work tommorow, so i'll pick up on the other divisions at a later time. also, be prepared to wager your serious money on this weekend nfl games..... very high stakes this week. |
the majority of my money this week is on the chargers straight up win.
i also hold the majority of my long term bet money on the chargers winning the afc and superbowl. this is the week to go all out....green light to all of your winnings from this season and all other money saved for these playoffs. i'm also putting two internet sites on the line on this chargers vs jets game. in fact, if the chargers are not in the afc final, i will not post in this thread ever again we'll be using the chargers as a base in the pointspread system as well. 1] san diego chargers[-7.5] vs new york jets the chargers were better than the steelers last season, and they were better than the giants the year before. no team in the nfl can even begin to be compared to this chargers team. i stake my reputation on this game. 2]minnesota vikings[-1.5] vs dallas cowboys this is such a miss-match its not funny. the vikings defence is one of the greatest against the run...its been like that for quite some years. their main weakness is against the pass. because of this weakness, their defence, while playing against the pass, is forced to go all out on the pass rush. tony romo's number 1 quality is his fast release, so, you can see how this game is a huge miss-match in that aspect. keep in mind, there is a possibility that the nfc final takes place in this cowboys stadium....in fact, given the quality of the stadium, and the money invested, it is very likely that the nfc final will be held in such a place. 3] new orlean saints[-6.5] vs arizona cardinals as i've pointed out before this season, this saints team is not that much better than last years saints. i feel kinda silly betting on a team like the cardinals, as they are clearly inferior to the saints. i pointed out last week how weak the cardinals defence is, however, it is not as weak as the saints. three factors make me wager on the cardinals in this game. 1]perception 2]the spread 3]the possibility of the nfc final being held in dallas. 4]indianapolis colts[-6.5] vs baltimore ravens in last weeks game, i pointed out how good this ravens defence will look against the crippled patriots attack, so yeah, ease down on the ravens defence, its weaker than it was last year... and peyton is going to pick it apart. also, the ravens running game should work against the colts almost as well as it worked against the patriots. in my books, peyton manning is the greatest qb in the history of the game. also in my books, brady does not rank in the top 30. the truth about this game is that i could argue on either side of the spread. i would love to see the chargers vs the ravens in the afc final, but i'm afraid its not going to happen. there are 3 main factors of me picking the colts in this game. 1]percpetion in regards to the ravens defence after last weeks game. 2]peyton manning 3]when i came home today, the nfl network was showing an in depth play by play ravens sideline show of last weeks game against the patriots..... it was very convincing, and is clearly meant to alter perception. 1 base with 3 games = 3 bets. 3 bets x $25.000 = $75.000 123 124 134 the base with 2 wins = $175.000 3 wins = $525.000 all out here |

al east new york yankees tampa bay rays baltimore orioles boston red sox toronto blue jays al central chicago white sox minnesota twins detroit tigers kansas city royals clevland indians al west la angels oakland a's seattle mariners texas rangers nl east philadelphia phillies this team is in serious contention. only injury could hold them back. the trio of utley, howard and rollins in the infield is truly amazing. to top that, they hold hamels, halladay and happ, who clearly make up the greatest first 3 starters in the majors. huge weakness remains the non-existant bullpen. new york mets this team has failed in recent years, despite the amazing team they've held. last year can be blamed on injury. this year see's the team a tad weaker as far as names go, but with health, they may just string along in this division enough to possibly compete. atlanta braves the line-up is looking kinda weak here, but the starting pitching makes up for it. i hold much respect for this braves pitching staff. i'm interested to see what wagner and saito have left..... they will determine the strength of this bullpen. florida marlins boy do i like this line-up....this team will put up some serious runs this year. i also kinda like the bullpen, despite its lack of huge names. what ruins this teams chances this season is the starting pitching. this team cannot be in a pennant race with these guys starting for them. washington nationals i'd love to say something positive about this team, but there's not much there to speak about. nl central st.louis cardinals chris carpenter and albert pujols on the same team. arguably the greatest starting pitcher in the game alongside arguably the greatest bat in the game. strengh of this team is its pitching, both the starters, but even more so the bullpen. huge weakness, despite the 3-4 double wammy of pujols and holliday, the line-up completely sucks. cincinnati reds the problem with me, is i see to far into the future. when i see the right moves being made, i point them out, however that usually translates into reality 1-2 years later. now the reds hold some serious pieces...joey votto, brandon phillips and jay bruce to add to the speedsters in the outfield. they've got cordero closing, with masset and rhodes setting him up...thats one serious bullpen. the starters are just gonna get better each year that passes. volquez, cueto and bailey can seriously throw, while arroyo and harang have proven they can win. this is well run team, that will end up competing for this division houston astros if oswalt can prove to be a worthy number 1 for the astros, than this line-up can win some games. if this team is around come trading time, this team has been known to make a big move. it won't take much for a team like this to go over the top in this division. chicago cubs i have a lot of questions regarding the condition and health of this line-up. to add on to that, the pitching staff also seems kinda weak..i'm not crazy for the bulllpen either. in the end, to be honest, i'd be suprised if this team was still around at the end of the season. pittsburgh pirates i like what they're doing with this team...slowly but surely, its just a matter of time. this team will crawl out of the gutter before long milwakee brewers other than the huge 3/4 fielder/braun, this is a very very weak line-up. who could possibly expect this team to compete with this kind of rotation. i like the bullpen, but its not gonna work ....you gotta rebuild here...trade one of the big guys in exchange for the future..its the only way to do it. nl west la dodgers this is a good team all around ......amazing bullpen, seriously, just out of this world. a little bit of a weakness with the starters, not that their numbers will show it in this kinda ball park, but still. colorado rockies another well rounded team, with a little bit of everything. betancourt for the eighth and street for the ninth, make this bullpen seem as solid as oak. i like their starters, jimenez, cook, francis, hammel and the hard throwing de la rosa. they've even got a few bats. i would not be suprised in the least if this team won this division san fransisco giants lincecum and cain easily make up the best 1-2 in baseball. the one thing thats holding this team back is its line-up, which is without doubt, the weakest in the game arizona cardinals these bats are weaker than their numbers show, and this rotation is much stronger than the number show. they'll need to find some form early on to keep up with the dodgers and the rockies...in the end, i don't think they'll be there. san diego padres the padres are still in the building stages....don't judge, adrian gonzalez will most likely not stay here, so as you can understand, the draft would be the main focus for this team Quote:

That pick must have been based on a conspiracy theory. What will we do with the thread now? We could lock it down for posterity or post puppy pictures.

we took in 300 grand in this thread the season the giants won the superbowl. that was a 100 percent in the playoffs year. then the rays....you know, that was pretty big....long term bet at 67/1. its been profitable. the chargers costed me more than my wagered money on the week and the season, it also costed me one of my 5 jobs. worse than that...that job provided me 40 percent of my anual income. this little thread here was kinda like an extension of that work....a free window.... and that is why i decided to stop posting in this thread. |

Monster, you're the first person i've ever heard that is proud of their incestial conquests.
but, what are you going on about 8 year olds, and sex with underage children. it is common though, that molested children end molesting children when they grow up. just cause you were a victum to your mother, it does not mean that your children have to suffer the same as you. seek help! |
