We can debate this til the sun comes up... but some people CAN cap a game, win and not beat the closing line. And for the contest... all lines were from Pinnacle, and I would have to email wiper at the same time for all my plays everyday so it wasn't difficult for him. Many of my bets are made the night before and I'm usually ahead of the line moving. They weren't even close to the lines I was actually getting.... on both sides of the spectrum. I'm glad the contest is over so I can stop worrying about Pinnacles lines.
And yes... many of my winners were EASY winners.... Not just 3-4 runs, but I had numerous games where I hit the over by the 3rd-4th inning, and unders with the final score of 2-1 and 1-0. I got lucky and unlucky during my initial streak.... In the last week, its just been pure unlucky. There will be other weeks where I get lucky numerous times, and not get unlucky. I've been doing this long enough to know that the swings in sports betting can be crazy..... I've had 3 10K +/- streaks in the last 2 weeks...
