said that POWELL could have got a shot off in .01 seconds but
the bottom line is that they counted a basket after the WNBA
live feed posted the final 74-70. Would have been a nice winner
but the breaks didn't go our way and that cost us $850. It's funny
because you can go to the play by play and see for yourself at
WNBA.com that somehow this girl got off 2 shots in .5 seconds.
Even a miss and a put back takes longer than that. That's what
I mean by I hope the ball bounces your way!
I don't mind an occasional loss but I hate when I feel I had it
taken away. It almost seemed to me that since it wasn't going
to effect the outcome of the game that they just counted it. They'll
do anything to improve the league scoring average.
I want to take this time to straighten a few things out with everyone right
from the get go. In basketball I told you yesterday I hate
"5" and really if you talk to some of the researchers that I have,
they'll tell you that 4,5,and 6 are a garbage numbers in pro baskets.
So to clarify....
I posted to this Blog last night but the Blog does not get emailed
until about 10am eastern. By then the line was already -6 or -5.5.
A few emailers asked..."Should I just buy 1.5 and take it down to
-4.5 like on the original post" My answer was the same today
as it will be any time. "NO! You will be best served buying the
3 points and taking it as low as you can get it." So for future
reference if I recommend a point buy and the line shifts a few
points between my entry and you receiving it...ESPECIALLY
in a situation like today where it helped us get a better line but
unfortunately did not help us get the win... FYI always buy the
recommended amount of points.
Second order of biz. On days like yesterday where the line
is very different when you receive the email or feed than when
I made the post.....check back on the blog to see if I make an
update. The reason I say check back is because the email that
goes out is automated. I don't physically send it. I know what
time it goes out but if I update the blog, the computer will NOT
send you an email update. I don't know if that is different for those
who get the RSS feed or any other methods but for email...the
computer sends once per day. I'm not talking about checking
the blog all day up until game time or anything like that. Yesterday,
for example, I made an update about 8 hours prior to tip. That's
the type of thing I'm talking about. If the lines are off just email me
or check the blog sometime in the afternoon to see if I've made any
update to it.
Today's Play(s) - We do have one play today. With the Red Sox
blowing a 9 run lead there will be no better person than a pissed
off Beckett to have on the bump. In 4 of his last 5 he's given up
0 Earned Runs. If there was any chance of a let down in his
performance it was greatly reduced by the exploding bullpen
last night.
MLB - BOSTON RED SOX -145 [LISTED] Beckett / Bergesen 725 / 500
