As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I typically don’t like wagering on baseball on Mondays and Thursdays, when there are fewer games from which to choose.NHL Playoff Observations -- Wednesday

- Sometimes it just doesn't pay to try, try again. Like dumping the puck up the wall to escape the defensive zone. I'm talking to you, Rangers. It didn't work in the first or the second. So why keep doing it in the third?
- Ilya Kovalchuk's release is absolutely sick. Unfreakingly insane.
Betting - I'm Backkkkkk!
Lets keep this roll going. My man ringison has some good info as well so hopefully one or both of us can win some coin for the Rotowire crowd. I have a small slate of games today. Today's games.....
Wednesday's child is full of woe... not!
It couldn’t have gone any better or been any easier yesterday, cashing in on both my wagers and improving my season record to 8-3, +$516.NHL Playoff Observations -- Tuesday

- Men vs. boys. Do I need to say anything else? Only this -- no eight seed has ever won the Cup.
- It appears Brian Burke is right -- big, strong and talented centers make a team go round. Darryl Sutter has a raft of them. Dave Tippett does not.
If it's Tuesday, it must be...

- Irritable bowel disease, fibromyalgia and center-line goals -- everything has a support group these days. Don't worry, Jonathan Quick -- Tommy Salo or Dan Cloutier will text with the time and date of the next meeting.
- I was wrong -- T.J. Oshie is just the baby honey badger. The original nastya$$ honey badger? Dale Hunter. He really don't give a @#$%. He ripped the head off that cobra named Alexander Ovechkin. Crazy $%&!. Then what did honey badger Hunter do? Quit ... on his own terms to head back to the farm. Honey badger might be a bada$$, but honey badger sure is smart. Besides, honey badger needs to get his soybeans into the ground.

Betting - Where is Everyone?
Funny, I have a solid $284 winning day and yet I hear nothing. No rips like "it is about time" or "every dog has its day" ... etc. Well, I am pretty sure starting on Wed I will turn this nice one day streak into more! Like my man rikigison now knows ... it is a different monster when posting your picks my boy!

NFBC Week #6 FAAB Results
Submitted without commentary this week due to time constraints, but more closer madness bidding in the results:Betting - Papa Needs a New Wallet
I would first like to wish all of the mothers a Happy Mother's Day! Now on the the gloom that was yesterday....Brutal day yesterday as I was done in by the likes of Brian Matusz, Phil Hughes, Feliz Doubront, etc. That will not happen again for a long time....I hope. I have to say I prefer to lose to the big guns as losing to the group above leaves a real bad taste. One of my all-time favorites Andy Pettitte returns for the Yankees today, but at -190 I will pass. Lets get on with today's games as we are riding the favs today. Today's games...
Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better (or at least try to)
Given my success, albeit limited, wagering on MLB last week (6-1, +$499), compounded by the troubles of my fellow blogger Tom Vara (7-14, -$1,091), I thought I would buck the odds and offer up a few selections I like today.Read all of Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better (or at least try to)
Staff Keeper League Notes: Week 6
Recap of the free agent auction and standings from Week 6.Betting - Taking the Mariners Again?
We gambled on King Felix and lost last night as the King left the building early. Kuroda pitched a fine game, but this bet was relying on King Felix to come through. The Mets blew a lead in the 9th for a tough loss. The Dodgers rolled the Rockies to keep the losses at a minimum. Can you believe that Chris Capuano and Ted Lilly are two of the best pitchers in baseball right now? I will continue to ride the both of them until proven wrong. It looks like CJ Wilson after pitching 1/3 of an inning before the rain last night may pitch tonight. I have no faith in Matt Harrison so I tend to shy away from games when he is pitching. Some big wagers today folks. Here are today's games....

- Exhaustion is almost guaranteed with a new baby. Braden Holtby became a first-time dad on Thursday. Wonder how that's going to affect his game.
- Score first and win. It seems to work in the Rangers-Capitals series. Can't wait for Saturday night ...
Betting - The King has Arrived!
Finally, a pretty easy night last as we went 2-1 +200. How long can we ride the Twins as dogs? Does anyone have the nuts to bet the Under in a Texas game? I am losing faith in the Phillies who now seem vulnerable comapred to years past. Lets grill some steaks, drink a few beers, and win some money! Today's games.....

Betting - Strasburg Equals Value Today
We took a hit last night as the Mets continue to win, closers are driving me nuts, and every game seems to be close which is causing more hair loss. Lets get right to it! Today's Games.....

Betting - Finding Value with the Astros?
Last night was a classic case of how two large wagers own the night. We risked -350 on Ana and -370 on Det. I forgot the Angels offense is still a work in progress and Haren still has too many games as an elite pitcher where he doesn't show up. On the flip side we suffered through all 9 innings of a Tigers win which on paper didn't look close considering Millwood was opposing Verlander. Millwood did what we assumed in pitching poorly, but Verlander did not pitch as well thus relying on the scary to watch Valverde close the door with the bases loaded. Nailing the Mets at +180 always leaves a good taste. Here is what I like today....
Betting - Ride the Winning Streak!
The play of the day which should have been the play of the year hit easily as the Angels took out the Twins 8-3. Everything lined up perfect from Weaver owning the Twins to Liriano stinking to Willingham being out with the flu. Easy win at -163. The Twins are quickly becoming the team to bet against each time out.
I am going to start a new tracking system in regards to my bets. I will show how much I would bet and then the next day the results so the readers have a feel for how I am doing. Today's Games.......

- Fashion advice for Joel Ward -- nothing goes well with goat horns. Nothing.
- Conn Smith? I really don't think it's too early to anoint Mike Smith a serious front-runner for the Conn Smythe.
