My Top MLB Bets Today (8/21) - 21-10 (+5.63u), all graded in post history

Rough two days, all graded in my last posts. Hoping to get back on track today.
Three bets plus a parlay today.

  1. Eduardo Rodriguez under 5.5 Ks (-130 DK). We project 4.3 and make this ~73 percent. He has stayed under this number in 9 of his last 10, and the arsenal is why, 6.4 Ks per 9 on the season means even a deep start projects around 4. Fair warning: Cincinnati whiffs more than any lineup in baseball the last 30 days, that is the one real path to 6.
  2. Freddy Peralta under 5.5 Ks (-142 FD). We project 4.8 and make this ~71 percent. Under in 7 of his last 10 because Tampa just does not let him work deep, he is averaging about four and a half innings a start. The risk: Baltimore whiffs 6th-most in the league and he did stretch to 6 innings once this month, so a sharp night gets there.
  3. Daylen Lile under 1.5 hits (-259 DK). We project 1.0 and make this ~74 percent. Under in all 5 of his last 5 and 7 of his last 10. Heavier than we like on the price, the number is just good.

Parlay of the day (-113): Henry Davis under 0.5 runs + Ildemaro Vargas under 1.5 hits. Davis is a bottom-of-the-order catcher staring at Yamamoto tonight and has scored in 1 of his last 10. Vargas has been under his number in 10 straight. Pays a bit less than even, two heavy unders on one ticket.

Graded tomorrow like always. Stay thirsty my fellow degenerates.

-$500 Reds ML 😭

Bet on the Reds at +410 when it was 0-4. They came back and made it 5-4, and my bet was looking good to profit $2000 on a $500 wager, but in the top of the 9th where the Cardinals had men on 2nd and 3rd, a routine fly ball wasn’t caught to finish the game, and the error resulted in the Cardinals leading the game 6-5. They went on to score 4 more runs that inning, and won the game 10-9.

A little different scenario with this bet. It could potentially produce a positive cash out given how high of a price this is comparatively speaking, but that’s not solely why I played it. I genuinely love this guy. Yes, he is a defender, but one who loves to shoot. Next best price I could find was +900 so at +2000 it’s a no brainer for me. I intended to ride it out however I may cash out closer to game time once odds have adjusted. We will see in a couple days.

What's the hardest betting habit you had to break?

Mine was feeling like I needed action.

Not chasing losses exactly. More the feeling that after researching games, I should find something worth betting.

Learning to close the book without placing a wager was harder than learning most handicapping techniques.

What was yours?

The best fairy tail that will never happen again

First time in New Orleans and I’m staying at Caesar’s. Go for a walk around town then come back and see the Sportsbook and I say I’m going to make a bet. No rhyme or reason I named off ML bets to the Sportsbook team. I also made a $5 “tip” bet to the Sportsbook team. I tell the lady before I leave “all we can do now is hope and pray”

I tell my girlfriend “I’m not checking this ticket until tomorrow” well we went to dinner and I sat down at a blackjack table and I’m seeing all the highlights of the day and I say…wow a lot of these games I won on.

Come to find out my last game I’m waiting on is the Sox vs Cubs bottom 8th inning in a rain delay. I try to cash my bet early but nobody would let me do it so I had to ride the storm. The game ended up resuming at about 11pm. I look up and the cubs scored in the bottom of the 9th.

To make this full circle, the batter who got the RBI went to LSU.

Ladies and gentleman I won $39,000 after taxes and the tip I gave the Sportsbook team was $9890 after taxes.

This will never be recreated more than likely and I’m thinking I’m going to purchase a home.

Just wanted to show you guys this is possible but very unlikely. I still can’t believe I won, felt like a bomb going off in my head when it happened.

edit to clarify I told the Sportsbook team to make themselves a ticket and I would pay $5 on it. Kinda like tipping a blackjack dealer on a hand. They took the ticket and put it in their tip jar where it sat overnight until i cashed my own ticket. They will take the taxes but I had to sign for it.

Who could have guessed I would actually got it correct lol
