BMR BEST BET THREAD - August 16th, 2023

[Tanko]

Post your strongest bet of the day. You can use any sport you want, all types of straight wagers accepted, just make it clear.

1. You may play money lines, but only between -300 and +300
2. Scoring is as follows; -110 is risking 1.10 to win 1.00 and risking +110 is risking 1.00 to win 1.10
3. Post the following information:
   Date
   Your record and +/- units
   The play, line, the odds (Use American Odds, not Decimal)
   The book
4. For MLB wagers, both listed pitchers must start in order for your play to be valid unless stated "Action" for the game.
5. For Soccer and Tennis plays: List the date, time, the opponent and how draws and retirements are to be graded.
6. Please indicate if the wager is a 2-way or 3-way bet for sports that offer them (NHL, Soccer, etc...)
7. Plays must be posted before the official start time.
8. If the odds posted with a play appear to be in error (i.e. significantly differs from the line found on BMR odds), an average of the "big" 4 books (BM, Heritage, BOL, 5Dimes) will be used to determine the applicable
9. 
   
10. line to apply to the play.
11. No Parlays/Teasers/Live bets - Wagers on Quarters, Halfs, Periods are acceptable as long as they can be confirmed independently on BMR Odds page.
12. Do not edit your post or it will be graded as a -330 loss. If you omit something (e.g. the book), you may add a new post indicating that information as long as it is before the event starts. The play and the odds cannot be changed once posted. Contest participants must follow more stringent posting guidelines.

*NO FUTURE WAGERS ALLOWED - Plays must have final results on the day posted*
**NO RECORD, NO LINE, NO ODDS, NO BOOK = NO ACTION**.

I seem to have the worst luck in here. Yesterday I hit the Liberty ML at a massive +270 but I went with the Phillies ML as my "best bet." Today I hit the Tigers ML at +155 but of course I went with the Pirates because I put a full unit on that and naturally they get curb stomped by the Mets. Ugh just not my thing to isolate a "best bet" especially since for the most part I bet the same amount on every game.

You might be unlucky isolating one of your bets for this thread, but it is smart to bet the same amount on all your bets. Rarely would I increase the amount of a bet, it had to be a "sure" thing, like death or taxes! Good luck on all your wagers.
