Of course it's possible.  I laid -135.

I look at the line movement as a gift.  Now I get +105 or so instead of the -120 I thought I was going to lay.  I'm not worried about it.  Hopefully no one who followed me last night on Washington will pump up their bet today.  I think this play is worth about half the investment of last night's gem (due to the fact that last night we were stealing with +169 and tonight we're betting at about even odds).

You know what?  I don't think they should be -140.  I think given this situation, the Rays should be no lower than -150.  But, they're not, because the oddsmakers know that there's no need to offer Boston backers that much.  They'll draw more than enough Boston action with +125 or +130.

Question for you... regarding the sox/rays game.. i'm curious as to whether the over might be a smarter play in this one.  You have 2 teams that we know can put up runs and 2 of their most inconsistent/prone to get smashed pitchers in a climate controlled environment.. doesn't that scream over regardless of who may win??

Hey they could be -300 and win tonight.  I'm just saying Price should not be that big a chalk over Boston.  No way.  And one thing you know about the Sox, Longoria gets one in the back tonight.

What?  If they were -300 I'd have to bet on Boston.  If they were -180 I'd have to bet on Boston.  If they were -150 I might not bet at all.  At -135 I'm on the Rays and I'm adding some +155 runline action as well.

Hmm.......hey, can I change my username to Lord Bator?  I'm too modest for KingofCovers but I'm not too modest for Lord Bator.

 

 

 

 

The smiley face is to help those who might otherwise jump to the conclusion that I consider myself the "King of Covers."  Thank you.

Keep it going Mr. B      That was a hell of a night you had yesterday. Washington was pure genious.
 
Had to use 2 sentences since so many  people on Covers don't like to hear Bator and Genious used in the same sentence

The Nationals.  And I'll be spending much of the next 40 minutes fighting the awful urge to take a big price with the disgusting Reds against the clownish Cubs.

I went to Green Valley Ranch earlier this afternoon to bet the Rays -135.  My intention was to first parlay them to under 9.5 +110, but by the time I got there the under was even money, so I skipped it.
