I have taken some abuse, here and in other forums , for my blind backing of Johan Santana ( or Twins) in 2nd half games ( post All-Star break). My skin is *****, so I am unconcerned, but want to try again to point out that which is good , free, and easy, much like our favorite girls of today and yesterday.
He is 40-4 since 2003 ( after the break), but that of course is not the team record. And of course, it is far better at home than away.
Most are run off by the exorbitant prices you have to pay to back him, as this is no longer a secret. But can you really get rich going the other way, for that occasional hit when the bully fails, or the offense slumbers, or worse, he is off?
At 40-4, if all the games were Santana -1000, you would be close enough to even. But they are usually between 135 and 350, and averaging around 230, if I were to guess conservatively, on the high end. You need not be a MIT math wizard to deduce that betting JS every time would produce positive units ( read: profits), though each loss would hurt more than a typical one.
Bottom line is:
I bet JS at -250 in the first game out of the chute ( AS Break) and am 1-0 +1 Unit.
Today he is -190, and I again will lay the -190 to get a chance at the green. Some will balk entirely, some will lay the RL to save Juice ( and get burned occasionally) and some will get aboard.
The price will only rise as the season rolls on, so I offer that there is FREE MONEY to be made, by BLINDLY backing Santana, especially at home, for the rest of the season.
I will track it here, and climb aboard whenever you aren't scared
Minn -190 1 Unit
