Not sure,why don't you email support and ask them,there are better books in my opinion than that to begin with for American sport such as Pinnacle,5Dimes,BetJamaica and The Greek.Sportingbet rating at SBR is D+,no way i would use anyone with that kind of rating to begin with.
This is a top situational play in my book. Some might think fading the Rangers right now would be like standing in front of a running train, but I beg to differ. The Rangers have posted two wins in last night's double-header, including that 30-3 win in the early game. Look for them to come down from cloud nine tonight. We don't have to worry about people jumping all over Jeff Weaver on the road, laying chalk, and going against a team that has scored almost 40 runs in last 18 innings of play. The only problem is, their offense is nowhere nearly as good to keep a high octane hitting performance consistently.
We also don't have to worry about trend bettors jumping on this one. Seattle are 13-31 in Arlington since 2003, and have only 1 win there in 5 attempts, including a 4 game sweep in Texas last month, all Rangers wins by 1 run.
So why on Earth should we take Seattle? First of all, they're still on a mission, and that's to either overtake the Angels or to stay well in front of the Tigers/Yanks combo for the wild card.
In order to stay in the hunt they'll need wins, and the way they've been playing, I am counting on them to outplay the Rangers in every aspect of the game. They have the better offense (not to mention Seattle is averaging 6.2 RPG this month, second only to NYY), defense, better pen, and will send out a guy who has improved immensely since a disastrous start into the season (Weaver has lowered his ERA fro 14+ to 5.57. Loe is somewhere in that range as well, and he has improved his stats as well as Weaver. The only difference being, this is his 2nd start coming off the DL, he handled the Twins rather well, but Seattle is something different.
I expect a big letdown for Texas bats after a tiring doubleheader, not only a physical letdown but also an emotional one, that was the game they'll tell stories to their grandkids about, despite the fact they were 56-70 at that point of the season, that was magic. Somewhere around that time the Mariners practically knew they were going to lose after Batista fell apart in the 1st inning, they were behind 0-7 after first inning and it was pretty much done. Meanwhile, Rangers' magic has brought their fans probably the brightest day of the season...
Seattle doesn't need magic, they need wins. And I think they get one right here.
Seattle ML (1.79) 8 units
The Cards are playing very well and are looking to be back to .500 after tonight. This is basically a fade of Vanden Hurk on the road against a hot lineup and a team playing very good baseball.
The Fish have some hot hitters in there as well but I like how Reyes has looked in the past few starts, with some exceptions of course. He is still at home and even though he hasn't been a winning machine this year (2-11) this play is beyond that. Cards roll.
St Louis (RL) (2.27) 7 units
Mista here, or just his copying countryman ? :idea: ;)
Top writeups Satyr. Tailing you on both plays !
After a very long thinking (bad run lately) decided to go against today's two top favourites - took CWS -1.5@4.12 for 3 units and Florida Marlins -1.5@3.60 for 4 units. I feel like it can be an upset for one of the favourite and I think Florida just have to finally stop their losing streak in next few days, why not today against Reyes who is 3-12 this season. Maybe it's a long shot but I have to try it.

No need for such an attitude at all!
I just happened to see Mista's choice and asked whether it's him under a
different nick posting here. :idea:
BTW it's OK to share (and I'm sharing MY views with pleasure...), but then there's a
policy to name the Author or source, as otherways it can lead to problems...
(check the thread on copying BA's tipsters in another forum :idea: )
Concerning my work here, it's usually concentrated in the Slovenian football
thread (you're invited to check it there ;) ), but also elsewhere when I see
good value and I don't want to "smartass" anyone, just wanting to be of good
use,
but I guess you'll have to learn about that, as you're fresh here ;)
Anyway GL and welcome, but please maybe read the rules first and follow them!
..... Florida Marlins -1.5@3.60 for 4 units. I feel like it can be an upset for one of the favourite and I think Florida just have to finally stop their losing streak in next few days, why not today against Reyes who is 3-12 this season. Maybe it's a long shot but I have to try it.
Great Florida Marlins move which was one of the things why I decided to stake on them - they put De Aza right there he belong - at the end of the rotation just below Vender Hurk. This way the second batter was Uggla and it helped Florida to build a momentum while hitting singles in third inning which resulted in gran slam. I think coach saw it too and we will have the same line-up in some other games.
BTW, great to see Boston having doubleheader today, so I still with CWS -1.5@4.12
