Okay.

SOOPOO loves Braves over Mets today. Montas was an abject failure in his injury rehab assignments. Braves pitcher was dismal UNTIL last few games.

I won a little over $5 on a DK free pool. I love free money.

Detroit Tigers tonight is free money.

Montas is the poster boy of everything wrong with baseball. He's got a 12+ ERA in the minors, but is making too much money to keep in the minors. In a decade of pitching, he's hit 150 innings once.

So….. I won last night as my parlays started with two wins…. but NOT because I actually ‘knew’ anything! Montas was GREAT for the Mets, but their bullpen just kept walking and hitting everyone. And in the other game, I expected Skubal to be his usual shut down self. He gave up 4 early runs but Detroit scored double figures.

So in case you missed it, I’m getting a kick out of betting the PGA because up till now the question “will the winner be Sheffler or the Field?” is in the air . it reminded me of when Tiger Woods was at his peak, some people asked the same thing. It probably wasn’t really a thing to bet on back then either, but I am having fun betting on it anyway. Nope, not +EV

This week it's the Rocket Classic. Morikawa is the most favored player, Scheffler is not playing. This makes the field look even better I guess.

What the hell, today I am betting the same amount on each of these to win, skipping Morikawa. [he is +1300 just for the record, as I write this]

So Morikawa or the Field? Some of the Field ha ha

Bradly +1900

Cantlay +1700

Griffin +2200

Matsuyama +3000

Hall +3500

KIm +3200

Young +2700

Clark +3700

Greyserman +3700

Clanton +3700

Mitchell +5000

Fitzpatrick +3700

Thompson +3700

Bhatia +4500

Lee +5000

Gotter +5500

The least paying, Cantlay at +1700, easily covers the rest bet. The rest of the field is paying better than +5000 but I am reluctant to add any

Good luck! Do I understand correctly….? You are betting, say $10, on each of the 16 golfers listed to win? So if Cantlay wins, you have risked $160, for a total win of $20? But if any of golfers 17-154, or the favorite, win you lose your entire $160?

It almost feels like you are betting 33 numbers on a roulette spin in which you are very likely to win but of course will get smoked in the long run.

For whatever it’s worth, I got boosted odds on Garrick Higgo top 10. I think it was around 10-1. He did win something already this year, and I won a lot on him in the past at long odds.
Edit. It was 16-1 boosted.
SOOPOO likes the Brewers (although it’s hard to get rich betting against Paul Skenes). And the Rockies getting 2.5 runs against the Dodgers.

correct evaluation. I really want Sheffler vs the Field to keep this up

I'll look at Higgo. I think I can also make a boosted bet and haven't done that yet

notice it isn't a consistent increase in payoff altho I took them one at a time in sequence. I think they started out as increasing payoff and that's how the lines moved for each, so keep an eye on Cantlay and Young too

Morikawa fired his caddie, hopefully this distraction is a good sign for taking some of the field

Most of the leaders not from your list.

Those who golf might appreciate this.
Aldrich Potgeiter had 8 ‘3’’s on his first 10 holes. That is flat out ridiculous. 2 par 3’s, 6 par 4’s, 2 par 5’s.
His two 4’s included a missed 11 foot eagle putt and a missed 12 foot birdie putt. He cooled off and ‘only’ shot 10 under par. Tied for the lead.

it's early

golf seems to be a sport where you have strong performers at the top and a huge field barking at their heels at all times... some rising some falling
