LDO!
Tyler this smells like a true lock. Might have to sell a kidney for money to put on Denver.

You don't know the Go Ahead Eagles? One of the more disappointing Dutch sides. Ajax is the only real team from that league that ever does anything exciting. I'd stay away from the Go Ahead Eagles. There's plenty of soft lines to be found in the Icelandic, Bulgarian, Finnish, and other leagues.

Are you saying

Score is combined 79
Line = U8, bet = Win
Line = U7.5, bet = Win

Score is combined 8
Line = U8, bet = Push
Line = U7.5 bet = Loss
Yes, that is what I'm saying. The line isn't an UNDER line, it is an over/under line. When the line is 7.5, everyone either wins or loses, there are no ties. When the line is 8 and the total is exactly 8, everyone who bets the o/u gets their money back. This sometimes creates +EV opportunities in low scoring sports like baseball, soccer and hockey because the books prefer half point lines and might resist moving to 8 (or 7) from 7.5 because they don't like to push. It's REALLY big on point spreads in the NFL, where moving from +2.5 to +3 has a lot of resistance and moving from +2.5 to +3.5 is considered the worst thing in the world. Some professional sharps live for middle opportunities around +3 and +7 and will absolutely hammer early lines that they think are wrong near key values.

Ajax is literally the only side from that league that I could name under threat of death.

I did not realize Yasiel Puig was sitting tonight when I bet the Dodgers. Damn.

Yay, took this one down for the win! The lines are definitely better for the lower ranked teams vs the higher ranked teams imo. I'm a fish though so maybe not.

Let my run to hunchcap immortality begin!
That slouch Lincecum took the vaseline he normally greases the ball with and instead lubed himself, loosened his belt in a non-traditional way, bent over, and was gaped by 2/3 of the Nationals lineup: six runs on six hits. Just exactly the way to start off this contest: bet against the Beast's favorite and bring it down!

If you're reading this, NJ, give yourself a cheery wave as your Giants fall 4 1/2 back of my Dodgers.

p.s. why did it take me this long to realize that "citanul" is "lunatic" backwards?

Correia is going to get hit, but I'm playing for a high-scoring Dodger win.

There's a lesson learned! I hate those -300 bets. You don't win much if you do win and I don't think they usually win anyway. (And that was strange Bronco scoring!)

From now on I'm betting on things that pay. (As an aside, according to PM, that women's volleyball game has been going on for a day and a half. I can only assuming that they are getting pretty tired.)

Yeah PM is bad about that on some of these events. I googled and had a tough time finding results, but think I found that one as a loss for you. I have it down on the spreadsheet as a loss. If it changes I will change it in the ss.

I was so close to betting PSV to win but I didn't have the ****ing balls. So its a loss for me.

Got this one going for tonight;

It's funny, the minus one on Greece seems like nothing, but the minus one on the Broncos really hurts.

so tbab got in contact with me about wanting to escrow and compete in hunchcap II. Obviously thats not happening, however El D and I came up with a way that he can still attempt to prove what a great hunchcapper he is, and in doing so possibly maybe get himself un perma banned from 2p2.

Tbab has created a PM account, that he will be using to compete along side our contest

https://www.pickmonitor.com/user/tbabbin

If he manages to finish first, he gets to be unbanned to compete in hunhcap III with no penalty.
If second hes unbanned to compete, but with a $50 penalty that goes into the prize pool of HCIII.
Third, same except its a $100 penalty.
Fourth or worse, same except the penalty will be decided by the hunchcap participants.
If he quits part way through and does not complete all the picks, he is perma-banned forever with no chance of coming back.

Just to be clear, he is competing along side this contest, hes not actually in it, so hes not eligible for any prizes nor paid anything and his finish doesn't effect the finish of anyone in this contest. Hes merely competing on his own for a chance to make it back into 2p2.

My suggestion for 4th or worst is a YouTube video of him singing Brittney Spears' Toxic.
