    Me vs. Vance Worley

    OK, as some of you may know from the baseball forum, this dork owns my ass. I've bet against Goggles nine times this year and faded him in the last seven starts, and I'm down nearly 30 units on those plays alone as he's put together the most team wins in consecutive starts since like 1905. The worst was when he got torched in LA, only to see Philly come back and win 9-8. That was a 10U bet for me. He's been let off the hook recently more times than I care to remember.

    So on Tuesday, Atlanta is +114 against ol' Vance and the Phils. I'll make a bet on this game -- nothing big, but I am taking Atlanta. Probably 2-3U. Here's the deal, though: we'll see if I can rid myself of this hex or not with a friendly points wager.

    If Atlanta wins on Tuesday, I will donate 500 of my points to charity. Can a Mod set this up? I want the satisfaction of seeing this son of a bitch finally go down, and will gladly ship 500 points to the charity of a Mod's choice.

    To show I'm not a horrible sport, too, I'll even donate 100 if Philly wins in honor of Vance whittling my bankroll down all season long.

    Not sure if this can be done, as I'm not a pro.

    I'd think a Mod could make the transaction, though.

    Vance is the real deal. He is very underrated IMO. Anyone fading this guy is clueless.
    Sorry No Coin about your luck, pal.

    I've faded him big in day games, which seem to be his kryptonite, but Philly always bails him out.

    Judging by his night/home stats, this is probably not a good spot to do it.

    Or is it?

    A) Wasn't chasing.
    B) I'm not a "kid" anymore, unfortunately.

    Don't fade Vance. The Braves offense has been slacking it. Phillies offense will back up Worley again.

    Son of a bitch does it to me again in vintage Houdini fashion.

    Unreal. Phils have now won 16 straight starts of his. Atlanta has 1st and 2nd with no outs, 1st and 2nd with no outs and bases loaded with no outs and scores one run total from those three innings.

    =

    Mods, please take 100 of my points and donate to the charity of your choice. Wish it'd been 500.

    You know Worley just had the inning ending strike 3 stolen from him right? Next pitch knocks in the go ahead run.
