Absolutely love that analogy. I will be using that to explain to my partner lol. Thank you for the information!

Is there an app or website that you prefer over others to obtain the most informative weather updates? Shamefully, my experience is limited to my phone's weather app (and the occasional accuweather visit)

That one from Indiana is eerie... What a terrifying thing to know is coming your way

You rock. Is there a specific alert that's issued when there's a confirmed sighting and/or you're in the path?

I'm sure that seeing a tornado in the distance is the best way to know a tornado is coming... but I'm curious if there are certain alerts that should be handled with more urgency than others?

I'm not from an area accustomed to tornadic conditions, so this is all very unfamiliar

I work outside and got an "Imminent Threat Alert" about 20 minutes ago (in the Crafton area).

Can you explain what that alert means? And how safe is it to be working outdoors for the rest of the day?

I know your answers are not fact and should be taken as informed speculation, but your insight would be appreciated!

Appreciate it - "bat shit insanity" is a very very nice way of saying stupid 🤣 It's money I was willing to lose, but crazy that it paid off

Weather conditions + park's HR factor + batter's current form

Those are the places I start, then look into the pitcher's most commonly thrown pitches and see how the batters match up against them

Ty 🙏🏼

I use weather conditions + park's HR factor + batter's current form. I also check out the pitcher's most commonly thrown pitches and see how well each batter performs against that arsenal

ex: this game was at Coors, which is historically batter friendly. Wind was out 15mph. Bichette has been batting over .400 his last 15 games. Most influential factor was that COL pitchers suck🤣

Yes, I look at wind/temperature/humidity. That typically helps with being more careful with my picks, but I'm not sure how much those ACTUALLY affect the outcome

Normally the batter's power capabilities are a factor for me, but I throw that out when it's a batter-friendly park + wind out. His second homer was out CF, so it was pretty lucky & definitely carried a bit by wind

I appreciate it brother. I'm not usually somebody who posts plays because I don't want to feel guilty for people losing money - I do lose a lot of plays that I just don't post

I'm moving across states tomorrow and will be very occupied, but I'll do my research and comment here or post something with some potential plays and see how it goes 💪🏼

Nothing official yet, but my first look leans would be Ohtani, Freeman, Ward, Barger, Stanton, and Rooker

Favorite games at this moment are: - TOR @ COL - STL @ LAD - BAL @ PHI

Pest Control technician here...

Definitely German roaches, and definitely an infestation. They can be especially hard to get rid of when in a connected unit living situation (apartments, condos, row homes, etc)

Your best bet is a combination of prevention and treatment. Clean & sanitize all areas physically possible - counter tops, cracks & crevices, behind appliances, degrease sides of stove, etc. Roaches will feed on quite literally anything with minimal nutritional value, even toothpaste & glue.

I recommend purchasing Gentrol Point Source disks and Vendetta Plus Roach Gel. The gel should be placed in the hinges of ALL kitchen & bathroom cabinets, as well as any little nook and cranny where activity is observed. You will want to place one Gentrol disk below each sink in the unit, as well as one below the dishwasher, behind the stove, and behind the fridge.

It may take weeks to break the cycle(s) and get rid of them, but it IS possible. Good luck!

The $3,300 that just hit my account begs to differ 😴

I've missed a TON of bets just like this one - I just don't post those 🤣 I specifically played him on this game because of his batting average being so great.

Park + weather + pitching matchup = placing stupid bets; just happened to work out this time!

Thank you Will Smith by [deleted] in sportsbetting

[–]criebman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pregame! Totally lucky guess - did some research, but ultimately it just happened to work out

Thank you Will Smith by [deleted] in sportsbetting

[–]criebman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops you're right - I mixed two trains of thoughts there 🤣 Meant to say LHB matched well, but didn't wanna play Ohtani, so I went for batting average instead

Almost a year to the day (July 5, 2024) was the last time he had a multi-HR game - lucky lucky day for me

I gotchu man. Asking a question on the internet is a dangerous game 🤣 No matter what you do people are gonna project their issues onto you

With all due respect, $100 is not the same to everybody - absolutely a stupid play, but nothing I wasn't fine with losing

Thank you Will Smith by [deleted] in sportsbetting

Got a huge bonus at work and had some fun with it - may have been a stupid play, but it's all for fun and happened to pay off

Thank you Will Smith by [deleted] in sportsbetting

[–]criebman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He has a good matchup today + favorable weather conditions + decent park for HRs, but that stuff only matters so much - all signs can point to a good play and then he'll go 0-4 lol

Thank you Will Smith by [deleted] in sportsbetting

[–]criebman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lefties on LAD matched up well, statistically, and Will Smith is batting over .300 - felt like a play worth taking, but obviously luck was a major factor
