Go Under at Citi

Brad Thompson takes on Fernando Nieve tonight as the Cardinals and Mets continue their series. Both pitchers are coming into their own right now. Last night the two teams combined for three runs, due in large part to a solid outing by Joel Pinero. Pinero allowed just two hits as he threw the complete game [...]


Sliding Phillies

I think this is a good time to bet against the Phillies, I usually like going against [...]


U.S. Open Preview

There is some rain in the forecast for this weekend’s U.S. Open from Bethpage Black. The course already plays long, soggy conditions make it that much longer. It’s time to back some long hitters. Here are some picks I like.
Dustin Johnson (120.0)
Kenny Perry (85.0)
Hunter Mahan (75.0)
(Odds are from Betfair)

Crowne Plaza Trading On Betfair

Heading into the playoff I was looking in great shape to make a solid profit.

Tim Clark was in a great position to win the tournament. I backed Clark thinking I was getting great value. When Clark missed a putt to win the tournament on the first playoff hole I had to lay. This caused [...]
