Guys, remember we're using closing lines in scoresandodds, so you only have to post lines for prop bets.

[iKnowNothing]

Unfortunate that I'm playing a guy that's only logged in once ever with 1 post four days ago

[SkyBlues42]

If those scores are right, I think some of the "leads XXX" are a little off.

[iKnowNothing]

For Sunday 4/8:

Dodgers ML
Giants ML
Angels ML
Angels -1.5

That will leave me with 2 of any bets left.

[SkyBlues42]

this contest is two weeks per matchup, right?

[iKnowNothing]

19th is the last day to make plays

[JSpauny]

If we have a whole week left I'll be sitting out tomorrow. I'll bask in my rare 3-1 day for a few days.

Through Saturday:

Captain Cold leads STS [1 / -1]
SkyBlues42 [7 / +3.86] leads Wvutime5 [9 / +1.77]

JSpauny [14 / -1.92] leads illadelphia [6, -3.45]
ckiernan [4 / +1.58] leads mattrud

iKnowNothing [18 / +2.41] leads clopton175
DOP [6 / +1.91] leads Arzoman [4 / +1.40]


BetThemDogs [2 / -0.17] leads TheHandicaper [8 / -0.85]
The Monarch vs Chicago Cover

I am making a small change in the rules: Since matchup started on a weekday, there's no much sense to the wekend rule, so it changes to this:

3. During the last three days of a matchup (In this case Tue 17, Wed 18, Thu 19) you can't directly match or fade your opponents picks in any way. Not even Run line against ML, etc.


Also, if people in their matchups don't show up by tuesday (besides Mattrud who did say he wasn't going to be available the first week) I'll start to look for a solution. We already have someone with the desire to fill in, maybe move some thing around. We'll see.

Hey BetThem. Unlike the other contest, all plays here are risking one unit-

Angels are a -1.
Seattle closed -120 which is equivalent to a 1.83 in decimal odds. So you get +.83 for that play.

-1 +.83= -0.17.
