Jul 27, 2010, Sports Betting Wrap Up
Before we get started, we had to go back and make some adjustments to our record because of some very small accounting errors, but I always want to be accurate. That's why you'll see quite a few July 27 dates throughout. If you have any questions, just let us know.
Not exactly a terrible night with our free baseball betting picks, but still a slightly losing one nonetheless. The Minnesota game just barely went over...oh yea, our free pick was the under. I personally would look for a lot less scoring in the game tonight...maybe we were one night off. Our totals were nice going 2-1, but overall we were 3-3, dropping .13 units. Here's the wrap up:
Houston +127 (Silva/Wright) LOSS -1.00 unit Cincinnati under 9 -125 (Arroyo/Wolf) WIN +1.00 unit Detroit +170 (Scherzer/Garza) LOSS -1.00 unit Minnesota under 7.5 -125 (Liriano/Greinke) LOSS -1.25 units Boston +112 (Buchholz/Haren) WIN +1.12 units Boston over 8 -110 (Buchholz/Haren) WIN +1.00 unit

If you haven't checked out our review of 5 Dimes Sportsbook, then you really are missing out on the best book for betting baseball. They offer 5 cent overnight lines on baseball and I can assure you won't find that anywhere else.
They are by far one of the best sportsbooks in the industry and are offering a number of promotions for new clients. Click on our review below, but, as I said, they are a must book for any baseball handicapper.
