The tear is unbelievable, the one-day sale every bit as great!

The Center of the Handicapping
Universe Godspicks.com goes 3-1 yesterday, highlighted by NL Game of the
Month on Atlanta! We also nailed a
Wise Guy on Minnesota. That makes
our latest run at 70-50, but with 33 winners that were 125 or more dogs which
converts to a “wallet equivalent” of 92-52.

We are 18-9 with Wise Guy plays, no chalk losers and six
dog winners of 170 or more!

Monday, we have our AL
Game of the Month among two Wise Guy plays and three Majors.

THE BIGGEST STORY OF ALL: Today only, if you buy the
monthly pass, it is extended to 47 days, which takes you until Sept 1, the last
day of the preseason NFL—every exhibition football game is inclusive.  THE SALE IS FOR MONDAY, JULY 17 ONLY!

The ENTIRE card  is just $17 at www.godspicks.com. 

Win $100 in free sportsbook money to MVP Sportsbook and
sports service premium plays in the famed trivia contest at JoeDuffy.net

MLB

PHILADELPHIA (HAMELS -105)
San Diego (Williams)

Philadelphia
is a sensational 16-5 the last 21 in the series including 8-0 in San
Diego. Virtual pick ‘em
games (line 125 or less either way) with a bullpen that averages 3 2/3 innings
per game and with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 7.50 last three starts is +92.2. 

Most importantly, the Phils
continue to be predictably unpredictable. They go in extended streaks and are
currently on a 4-1 run.  Going against
starting pitchers who give up two or fewer earned runs in each of his last two
starts to a pitcher whose ERA is 7.00 or higher over his last five is +82
units.

The Pads are on an 0-3 skid.

Go Against and With in the Second Half

Overvalued and Undervalued Second-Half Pitchers and Teams

Joe Duffy (JoeDuffy.net)

As we’ve said a gazillion times—and make it a gazillion
and one—we do not ever blindly bet any one system, theory et al, but we have
copious starting points.  A case in point
would be teams or pitchers we believe will be good value for sports bettors to
go against or with.

Here are some highlights of that list:

Undervalued:

Atlanta,
the Braves are already turning it up.  As
you know, we have had great success in handicapping the mental part of the
game.  Even with stars like Greg Maddux
and Tom Glavine long gone, the fact that Atlanta
has won 14 straight division titles gives them the feeling of invincibility. However
Tim Hudson could be an exception as trusted opinions tell me they think he
could be fighting an injury.

Jeff Weaver, Cardinals
starter. The sportsbooks have not taken into account his move back to the NL
puts him in a pitcher friendly park. 
Wise sports gamblers know that 90 percent of pitchers perform better
knowing they are likely to get run support. Pitching for the Redbirds accomplishes
just that.

Felix Hernandez,
Mariners starter. Here is a guy we faded when he was overvalued, now he has
actually pitched better than his numbers. 
Hitters are producing twice the number of ground balls as fly balls
against him, so look out.

Chris Young,
Padres starter.  Young actually has
middling numbers at home, but he’s much better than he has shown.  History proves that pitchers with (relatively
speaking) more impressive road numbers have much more of an upside. He is also
ranked much higher in WHIP than ERA, the single best precursor to a pitcher who
will raise the bar.

Dave Bush, Brewers
starter.  Though we must admit, he’s
better at home, Bush is another guy who ranks much higher in WHIP than ERA.

Overvalued:

Francisco Liriano,
Twins starter. How many times have we crushed the sportsbooks by fading Second
Comings who proved not to be?  Liriano no
longer is pitching under the radar. The burden of high expectations is new
territory for him.   

Detroit,
few argue they are far and away the surprise of the first half. Manager Jim
Leyland has always been his best in getting teams to play with emotion.  But as we are in the dog days, talent
overrides emotion.  It’s much more of a
case of everything going right for the Tigers than everyone being wrong about
how good this team is.

Houston, they have underachieved as much as
any team and have a great upside. 
Repeat, we are big believers in the mental aspect, so adding stopper
Roger Clemens can be a boost overall, not just when he’s on the hill.

The famed
scorephone Tailgate Party goes high tech this football season at JoeDuffy.net We start the
week out with advanced news and notes from Joe Duffy of Godspicks.com , top computer trends from forensic handicapper  Stevie Vincent of KnockoutPicks.com, live weather radar,

Fantasy Baseball

Leave a comment

By Chris Goudey
Contributing Writer
WagerWeb MLB Baseball Odds

If you are still in contention to win your fantasy baseball league title, the All-Star break was the time to determine your end-game strategy. We are now slightly more than halfway through the season, and you should know if you have a shot at winning. If you do still have a chance at the title, there are several things you can do to help your chances.
The first thing you need to take a look at is your current rank in each specific category, and how far you are from moving both up and down within that category. For instance, if you are in sixth place in wins but could move up to second with just 2-3 more, then that is something to target. Likewise, if you are barely ahead of three other teams in stolen bases, it is imperative that you focus on that and make sure you have enough speed so you don’t lose precious points in that category.
At this point in the season there isn’t going to be a ton of help available on your league’s waiver wire, so the best way to acquire the help you need is via trade. Let’s say most of your closers lost their job or were hurt early in the year, so you are last in saves. If you are really far behind the teams just in front of you, it would be wise to just punt the category altogether and trade whatever closers you have left for help elsewhere.
If you need help in the other pitching categories, a solid starter is going to help you much more than holding a closer. Good starting pitchers eat up innings, so they will help your ERA/WHIP much more than a closer will. Also, if your league counts strikeouts, then that’s a fourth category you can get help in. Trade those closers for help in other categories.
Likewise, if you are strong in steals and think you can maintain your rank while trading a steals source, target a good power hitter if you need help there. A team with a lot of power and good numbers in HR/RBI is probably lacking in steals, so a trade where both teams are getting what they need makes a lot of sense. Batting average and runs scored can be acquired from power hitters and speed guys, so there is no real advantage either way. Obviously if you are low in average, runs and steals, a player like Ichiro is perfect for you, as he will be among the league leaders in all three. A player like Albert Pujols will get you the help in every category except steals, but he will obviously be much harder to trade for.
One more thing you can do to find a trade target is to look a player’s career numbers for the second half. There are lots of players who are much better in the second half than the first historically, so you might find a diamond in the rough if you do your research. All of the major sports sites and MLB.com have this information. The other thing you can do is to read the daily player notes on many roto-based sites or in USA Today. These notes will give you updates on playing time and injuries that can be crucial as we get down the stretch.
Trading is a delicate thing, especially if you are in a league with friends. Obviously you want to get the best of the trade, but at the same time you don’t want to develop a reputation as someone who is difficult to deal with. The best trade is one that helps both teams, but you just a little bit more than your trading partner. You want to try to make sure the person is getting value, but you don’t want to hurt your bottom line, which is your chance to win the title. If you’re trading with someone who is above you in the standings, don’t give them what they need to beat you. Usually you’ll want to try to trade with someone who is below you in the standings so they don’t hurt you long-term. As a rule I try to put myself in the other team’s shoes when I offer a trade. I look at their standing within each category and try to make sure they’re getting something they need. There’s no point in offering a closer to a guy who already leads the league in saves. It’s just a waste of time and will get you a bad reputation.
The stretch run is about to begin, and while the real pennant races are beginning to heat up so is your fantasy race. Be smart about what you need to do to get yourself over the top, and hopefully both you and your favorite team will be holding the trophy at the end of the season

Poker Tip of the Week

Poker Tip of the Week: Bad Beats »
By Chris Goudey
WagerWeb Casino

“#$%(&%#(&$)@&!!!”, I said for what seemed like the 10th time. Yes, I just got sucked out again on the river by a 2-outer and have now lost my last four sit-and-go tournaments in the same way. The donkey across the table has pulled one of the two or three cards in the deck that they needed to beat me after the flop. Those are known as bad beats, and as any player who plays regularly can tell you it seems to happen all the time.
Bad beats happen to the best poker players, the worst poker players, and everyone in between. There really isn’t a definition of what a bad beat is, but I would say it’s any time that you have your money in the pot and have at least a 75 percent chance of winning the hand. There are plenty of times where you have a 50/50, 55/45 or 60/40 chance of winning and you lose, but those aren’t really bad beats. They’re just part of the game. The times when you are in a “race” with someone, meaning one of you has a pocket pair and the other has two cards larger than your pair, are really not much more than a 50-55 percent chance for the person holding the pair to win. Also, a situation similar to this, where you have one overcard and your opponent has two cards higher than your kicker, you are only a 60 percent favorite to win.
The bad beats I’m talking about are the ones where you dominate your opponent, either with a higher pocket pair than his, a pair with a higher kicker or some other situation where he is a huge underdog once all the money goes in. Those are the ones that make you feel like you’ve been punched in the gut when you lose, and your reaction to these bad beats can make or break you as a poker player.
There is actually some good news in a continued string of bad beats. Bad beats happen to good players more often than they do to bad ones because the good players realize they have the best of it and get all their money in with the best hand more often. While a long run of beats will hurt your bottom line, you can take solace in the fact that you are playing solid poker. In the long run, getting your money in with the best hand a large percentage of the time is going to make you a ton of money. It’s hard to remember that sometimes when you’ve just been rivered, but if you can control your emotions and not go on tilt, you’ll be much better off. The key is just to tell yourself you made the right play and get on with it.
One way to lessen the effect of a bad beat in a tournament is to try to stay away from going all-in as much as possible. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve suffered a stomach punch but still had enough chips to come back and do well. In fact, just the other day I was down to $40 in chips in a sit-and-go and came back to win. The saying “a chip and a chair” really does apply, so while you do want to maximize your profits when you have the best of it, you also want to try to insure that you don’t get yourself knocked out of a tournament if the fish catches what he’s looking for. You can be aggressive without over-betting.
As I said, bad beats happen to everyone who sits down at the table, but if you can remember that they are part of the game, don’t go on tilt when they do happen, leave yourself some wiggle room, and know that you are actually playing very well, you can live to fight another day.
