Rabbitz being a huge Cubs Fan and having watched the sport for a few years now I can help you a little.

The pitchers are the main reason for score discrepencies every team has a 5 man Starting Pitcher rotation and because of the way the games are scheduled it doesn't always mean each teams #1 pitcher will go against eachother.

The other reason for the discrepencies could just simply go down to on and off days for the hitters. Alot of guys would get a hit 28-31% of there at bats which leaves alot of other occasions when they don't so that can be another reason.

Another one could have to do with the Relief Pitchers who would come in when the Starters get tired most teams would have 1 or 2 good relief guys and they don't want them to be worn out to early in the season they play 164 games so they have to be careful not to get there Bullpen burnt out early in the season. So with saying that they won't use there best Relief guys all the time.

Hope that helps you out a little.

This American isn't much of a baseball fan. I lean towards NFL and college football as my sport other than horseracing. I think the excellent answers already given here
explain the scenario. Plain old dumb luck determines the outcome of games sometimes also.

Glenn

Glen just out of interest who do you follow in the NFL I have been a Bears fan for about 14 years now haven't had alot to cheer about in that time but they look to be on the improve with a couple of strong drafts lately.

The NFL would be my favourite out of any sport and has been for quite awhile now lost in terest in most sports over here.

Another loser, Minnesota Vikings, is my favorite team. I pick football even worse than I pick horses. HA

Okay, well after having a look back at recent results, I think I see where I'm going wrong with System A and System C also needs a bit of work. System B however is working very well. A nice trifecta on Melbourne R8 saved the day for the multiples.

thanks for all the baseball info fellas
cheers
p.s. yesterday I backed new york yankees and had to wait till bottom 13th to collect,although the $2.25 was pretty good.

Sportznut - is the Unitab appraoch something you only do on weekdays?//Not on Saturdays?

IF you're able can you contact me directly on rdelforce@abare.gov.au as there was something about those selections that I wanted to suggest to you before putting it on the post for everyone? OTHER MEMBERS: just want to check one thing potentially very useful to ensure I'm right before building up false hopes = VERY well intentioned!! Bob

Thanks, Sportz.

Guys, sorry with the delay on the tips today. I had problems posting. For some reason, when you take longer than a certain amount of time to submit your post on this forum, everything you've written gets deleted. That's what happened to me today. I had all the tips and Unitab selections typed up, but I'd obviously taken too long doing it and they all got deleted. So then I had to go back and work them all out again. Unfortunately that meant that when I finally managed to submit my post, two of the Unitab selections had already won, one of them paying $9 !!!

Geez, was Lightning Command unlucky or what??? :roll:
