⭐⭐⭐BMR BEST BET THREAD - August 3rd, 2025

[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, Pinnacle) will be used to determine the applicable line to apply to the play.
9. No Parlays/Teasers/Live bets - Wagers on Quarters, Halfs, Periods are acceptable as long as they can be confirmed independently on BMR Odds page.
10. 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**.

Question for posters in this thread.
Rule 4 says "listed" pitchers only. I'll be honest, I don't check for this and only catch it if someone mentions it or it hits one of my plays. It doesn't come up often, at least I don't catch it often but if you would like to comment on if this is a rule to keep, let me know.

The majority of books, pre covid were auto set to listed, at least that's what I remember. Now there are a few who are automatically set to "Action" with no other options.

Comment on your thoughts on the topic.

A posted play is an entry. For a poster to come in after a pitching change is made and, ask to alter the play or line, shouldnt even be up for discussion. Note that each and everytime there is an " Issue " in this FRIENDLY competition , its the same poster involved.

P.S. Appreciate all your efforts here Tanko

I’d vote MLB plays have action unless you list pitchers.

Makes it way easier to grade for Tanko.

Tanko is a simple man. Let’s make grading this contest simple for my man Tanko.
