Friday 8/22 Play of the Day Thread
TSB MIKE (Administrator) 3 months ago // 59 responses // Subscribe TopSportsBets.com Play Of The Day Thread

Solid day yesterday. We went 2-0 on NFL plays, easily hitting both S.F. and the OVER. Preseason has been AMAZING thus far. Let’s start the weekend strong! Baseball, Football, and Golf dominate today and the rest of the weekend. Let’s all get that $$$$$$$

Also of note, we are having the FANTASY DRAFT this Sunday. Due to several of you requesting a time change, Scott and I have decided to move the draft to 2 PACIFIC TIME. Hopefully this change will allow everyone to participate in the draft. THIS WILL BE THE ONLY CHANGE!!!!

Let’s have a great day!

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Danny Boy

Good Morning Fellas,

My Homer pick of the Bears 1st Half lost because of a dropped ball in the endzone. Damn! Good Call Jizzle! Your NFL picks have been great.

Well, I was expecting the D to be good and the O to suck. I ended up seeing the complete opposite. Orton impressed me and the D was down right embarrasing. I think they only had one 3 and out the entire first half. The D looked old and slow to me. Not good. I’ll be staying away from taking the Bears D in fantasy this year.

Good nfl calls again guys. Back in a bit with my card

 
top dollar

Here is my card so far:

Cleveland +105 over Texas

Tampa +155 over Chi Sox

Pitt +1.5 RL Mil (+105)

Back later. GL

 
TSB Scott

LOTS of football action today. Should be a fantastic friday night!

Bears hung tough in the first half last night offensively though DB. I think in that weak division it will come down to the Bears or Minnesota.

 
Danny Boy

Fellas, I just noticed that www.pgatour.com has a new Shot Tracker that looks really cool. It kind of reminds me of MLB.com’s new 3D GameDay.

 
TSB Scott

That is pretty cool shit!

 
Danny Boy

Scott, you liking any of the 3-ball Matchups this afternoon?

 
TSB Scott

Although I watch a ton of golf and know it like the back of my hand, I can’t touch tsb mike in golf capping! Especially groups of 3. I can post some plays if you want to fade them. You got any afternoon plays that you are gonna post?

 
Danny Boy

I’m looking right now. I see some that I like. I’ll post them soon.

 
johnnyparlay

howdy boyz,

taking the day off today. I lost 220 on a fuckin wild pitch in the FLA game yesterday and had to lay down 710 on Webb just to win back 200 of it.

i’m all out of Pepto. I need a day of no sweating.

if i was playing however, The Kid is on the mound in SFG and he is solid, but the over in TEX is always a hot mistress.

 
BMILL

Whats up board. Today I got Cubs/Nats o 12runs. Yankees/Cubs parlay and under 7 Hou/Mets. GL in your plays today

 
johnnyparlay
why i like over in TEX:
  1. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
  2. Over is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings in Texas.
 
TSB Scott

Thanks for the golf plays today Danny. If anyone is looking, they are posted in the golf thread on the home page.

JP – sucks to lose a game like that! Hard to lay down that much to recover, but good job getting some back

REMINDER As Mike stated in the opener, the Fantasy draft has been moved to 2pm pacific time (5pm eastern) this Sunday due to several requests. So make a note of it, and be there!

 
TSB MIKE

Lot’s of research today guys.

Let’s get this day started. Anyone have the balls to take the Nats today??

 
johnnyparlay
the nats are a horrible play today, with all due respect:
  1. Nationals are 1-4 in their last 5 Friday games.
  2. Nationals are 0-4 in their last 4 vs. National League Central.
  3. Nationals are 0-4 in their last 4 during game 1 of a series.
  4. Nationals are 1-7 in Lannans last 8 road starts.
  5. Nationals are 1-7 in Lannans last 8 starts with 5 days of rest.
  6. Nationals are 0-4 in Lannans last 4 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
  7. Nationals are 0-5 in Lannans last 5 starts vs. National League Central.
  8. Nationals are 0-4 in Lannans last 4 starts during game 1 of a series.
  9. Nationals are 0-4 in Lannans last 4 starts following a team loss in their previous game.
  10. Cubs are 7-0 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter.
  11. Cubs are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.
  12. Cubs are 6-1 in their last 7 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.
  13. Cubs are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. National League East.
  14. Cubs are 10-2 in Marquis’ last 12 home starts vs. a team with a losing record.
  15. Cubs are 4-1 in Marquis’ last 5 Friday starts.
 
Danny Boy

It’s raining right now hard, but the storm should be outta here within the hour. Also, the wind will be blowing out to Right Field at 15mph.

 
TSB Scott

The question is because it is the only day game today, not because we, or anyone on here are taking the nats. However, weirder things have happened to the lone day game favorites. Trends are definitely on the side of the Cubs, which is why there is so much juice. It certainly isn’t because of Marquis

 
Danny Boy

System Play….

Only day game… Heavy Favorite… Public on the Cubs Big…..

Marquis 5.70 Run Avg in his last 4 starts.

Lannan 2.42 Run Avg in his last 4 road starts.

WAS (RL +145)

Playing it small!

Good Luck!

 
TSB Scott

Thanks for the on-site weather update Danny! I am sure that will come in handy for home bear games in December! lol

 
TSB MIKE

all those trends are fine and all, and it doesn’t surprise me coming from a guy who plays LARGE FAVORITES.

Let’s not forget it is FRIDAY. IT’s A HUGE PUBLIC FAVORITE AT UNBELIEVABLE JUICE. And its the only day game.

No matter what anybody says, the bottom line is this board has seen what happens more often than not in this case. Let’s also not forget that the Nationals are 2-1 against the Cubs this year. Also of note, the Nats have arguably their best pitcher going today on a big BOUNCEBACK.

All i’m saying is lookout for all Cubs backers today, especially ones hitting the RL to lower the juice. Time and time again, bad things happen to people who eat the juice and follow the money in the Friday day game.

That being said, i have no play on this game. But i sure as hell aren’t following the Cubs. ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE WHATSOEVER in this game.

 
RT JACK

I love ten minute breaks. I agree on that play Danny and am playin it small with you!!!!!!!!!! I am also taking old man Maddux today at +112 in his first start for the blue crew. Good luck to everyone. Back later to tail some HOT CAPPERS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 
Danny Boy

“Coming from a guy who plays LARGE FAVORITES

I’m learning, lol.

 
Danny Boy

or were you talking about JP?

I’m not getting burned by the Cubbies today. If they win, hopefully it’s by only one run.

 
TSB MIKE

lol, i was referring to Johnny. Nothing against you whatsoever of course Johnny. I mean no offense at all.

I just know what you’ve posted on the board, and more often than not, it’s high juice.

Danny, you are solid man. Did you get drunk last night at the bar???

 
Danny Boy

Of Course! Choice of Beer = Heineken Light

Orton is our Savior!

 
TSB Scott

I can’t WAIT for fantasy football to start. We can all talk tons of shit to each other for fun! I have the Cubs to win by 6 runs today at +1300.

 
Danny Boy

Mike, have you checked out the Shot Tracker on www.pgatour.com ?

You can follow groups and the Layout of the Course looks awesome. You can also zoom in on the Greens.

 
TSB Scott

See you guys in a while. Off to sit in traffic for 5 hours. Enjoy the game!

 
johnnyparlay

I agree with you 100% TSBM. No way i’m taking Cubs or Nats in this game, its a friday trap, and i’ve said how i feel about big market teams, especially on Filthy Friday. There is no action in this game.

I find it funny that you all call expensive games high juice. I have always considered juice to be the delta between the two lines (ie- -220 and +200 = 20 juice). Semantics…

I do love heavy favorites, but not all of them. I play a few dogs when i see a glitch in the matrix, and I think COL was my only doggie this week. Not all heavies are justified (PHI last night), but some are (Webb, Halladay, Lee yesterday).

 
TSB MIKE

you don’t have to explain yourself buddy, we know you are money JP.

Fantasy draft SUNDAY. Should be fun.

 
johnnyparlay

Good luck today everyone…looks like my plans for a day off may be derailed by the over 11.5 in TEX

”...just when i think i’m out, they pull me right back in…”

 
Danny Boy

I noticed that there is still one spot open in your Fantasy League. If that final spot doesn’t get taken, will there still be a draft?

 
TSB MIKE

its getting filled this afternoon!

 
Danny Boy

Today I’m playing…..

Parlay…. SF (ML -235) and the (Under 7.0 -115) = +167

MIL (RL -145) POD

DET (RL -125)

WSox/TB (Under 9 +100)

MIN/LAA (Under 8.5 -110)

Good Luck!

 
Danny Boy

Marquis is starting to fall apart! Bases Loaded with none out for WAS.

 
johnnyparlay

Jinxd ass Cubs…right on cue

 
johnnyparlay

DB i like ur SF play

 
Danny Boy

JP, these lines are crazy for these favorites. I like the under alot in the SF game, and I also like them to win. But playing SF on the RL is too much. I see a 3-2 type game.

 
Danny Boy

Have a great weekend fellas!

See ya at 4pm CT for the Draft!

I’m taking Orton for my Starting QB, woo hoo.

Orton our Savior!

I’m outta here!

 
TSB MIKE

all plays will be sent out by 3:15 PACIFIC TIME

 
jizzle24

WAKE UP

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
johnnyparlay

the o/u in SF is schizo to say the least. They have been an ‘under team’ all year but this is not the same team. Very dynamic in that they have a bunch of kids who are trying to make a name for themselves. Results usualy in either a horrible day swinging at everything or they are hitting the ball everywhere. Very inconsistent. Whereas the veteran are over it, they are cashing checks and snapping panties with hookers, these kids are playing ball. But Lince vs the Madres in a pitchers park should be a solid play. He is great at home, loves a friday too. In Sf we call him the Franchise so he gets jacked to play at home. Not a “lock” but far from a bad play.

 
TSB Scott

Funny how those lone day games work. It doesn’t really matter that it is Friday, although it doesn’t help. Poor cubs have been stuck with so many lone day games this year, and the somehow manage to make vegas happy about 75% of the time. Amazing how that works!! The worst team, on the worst streak with all the trends pointing against them should be even money on weekday single day games…

We have a couple of long shots in good top 20 position with Kim & Curtis at the Barclays and Janzen just outside at #22. Hopefully one of them can have big days tomorrow on moving day!

Everyone ready for football friday??

 
TSB Scott

Anytime you have Tim on the mound for SF you have to like them. We were on him to start the year and he paid off well until more and more people jumped on board with him. I thought he should have started the all-star game personally. In pitching terms, he is no doubt the franchise.

 
Crotch

Hey guys, I think I will have to drop out of the football league. I will not be around for that draft. the 1st time was perfect but I have to be in Chicago to pick up my girl from the airport at 5 central leaving here at 4. When I get back I have another draft at 7:30 central. So I see there will be no more changes and I’d rather not compete with a predrafted team. My own league draft is on a Thursday 28th. So I’m not sure. Sorry, was looking forward to it.

 
TSB MIKE

all plays have been sent via EMAIL and PM. You guys know the drill.

 
Crotch

mike, pm’d ya back.

 
jizzle24

jizzle24

TSB MIKE

OK GUYS. QUICK QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU PARTICIPATING IN THIS WEEKENDD DRAFT:

Can you guys send me a PM stating whether or not you can do the draft at 10:00 AM Pacific Time this Sunday. I know the majority of you are on the east coast, so let me know asap. I need each and every one of you to send me a PM stating yes or no. Thanks guys.

I just want all of us to be apart of this live draft. Thanks

 
TSB MIKE

CUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Crotch

Sorry to fuck things up guys.

 
Crotch

Mike, just in case this time (10 pac.) works out you may just want to pull up yahoo and make sure the time slot is available, just so we all dont agree and all of a sudden its full. this sun may be a popular time….....just thinkin

 
TSB Scott

No biggi, hopefully we can all figure out a time that works so none of us miss the live draft.

 
TSB Scott

3-0 on the NFL pre-season plays tonight again. Not sure what to say. No joke here. 21-4 on pre-season football. I RARELY parlay anything. But I parlayed Houston +6, Houston/Tex over 43 and Philly +3 tonight +542.

BIG Saturday full of football guys. Jump on board while it is SMOKING HOT!!!!! Many of you are on these already, so congratulations on a HELL of a day going 4-1 overall (loss was the Dodgers)

JZ – where you at!!

 
TSB Scott

CUBE!!!

 
johnnyparlay

Jesus…won my TEX over by a filthy half point on Boggs homer in the BOTTOM of the 9th!! Bout time i win a close one after my pukers the last two nights!

I’ll be at any draft at any time i just NEED TO KNOW the time!

 
TSB MIKE

Good work JP. You deserve it.

The draft will be at 10:00 AM Pacific Time on Sunday. Looking forward to it buddy.
