Anyone on the Pirates tonight at plus 120?

NicAtNight · 08-22-13, 07:44 PM

My thoughts exactly... I just haven't watched Cain as of late so need to study up on that

illisdre · 08-22-13, 07:56 PM

i am. i would take the -1.5 gladly.. but.. i think SF is a pitchers field .. so i won't

sometimes i like to take pirates when theyre down a few runs.. you know that they make great comebacks.

im in on ML though. can't see how over multiple games that would not win more than .500

When it looks to good to be true, it usually is.

Ugh I hate this saying. Seems like a saying people who can't cap use.

I'm on PITT. Sure it may lose, and I'm giving it a 50% chance. But that still makes it +EV.

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 08:44 PM

Yea Im not guaranteeing a win but the way I see it is Pittsburgh is definitely the much better regardless of where this game is being played or who the giants throw out there so at plus money its worth a shot any day of the week.

I like it but Locke got rocked last game. That worries me. Hoping he bounces back tonight

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 09:59 PM

Lets go pirates! It's early but looking good.

When a line is posted and it looks very good to the public, which the public is backing Pitt in this game, then it usually loses, atleast from my experience. and I try to just stay away from those games and not just throw my money away on a coin flip. Just my opinion. But as always we have trolls that just have to come up with some smart ass remark.

Canukc · 08-22-13, 10:25 PM

I should have read this an hour + a half ago. Now 3-0 for Pit.

hossa8110 · 08-22-13, 10:27 PM

wow giants suck....this is legalized stealing here with the buccos

stefan084 · 08-22-13, 10:34 PM

locke looks shaky to me. on the pirates buy not confident now

stefan084 · 08-22-13, 10:37 PM

4th straight lead off walk

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 10:37 PM

Yea I don't understand why this guy can't throw strikes.

stefan084 · 08-22-13, 10:44 PM

damn he sucks

MagicDiceFlow · 08-22-13, 10:44 PM

All you gotta do is wait this Locke guy out. He walks a ton load. Just wait for the 2-1 pitch and hammer that shit like Scootie did. Game tied.

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 10:47 PM

Locke getting hurt by walls yet again. Unbelievable.

hossa8110 · 08-22-13, 10:48 PM

this moscos guy sucks the buccos gonna poor it on

Gus Fring · 08-22-13, 10:49 PM

Pirates playing good, can bullpen hold

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 11:01 PM

There goes the under but I was on ml for more anyway so lets knock these other two in Pitt!

curtrambus · 08-22-13, 11:07 PM

Fking joke Cain gets hurt the Locke fade shoulda been money.

Demonata · 08-22-13, 11:09 PM

This game is bullshit. I cant watch this penetrating game anymore. Of course Cain gets hurt and this scrub hits the first guy with pitch then walks two and gives up tons of runs.

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 11:13 PM

Lets blow it open boys

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 11:14 PM

Come on fellas they were giving one of the best teams in baseball plus money against one of the worst I don't see how anyone could have backed the giants. I'm not the best capper but this was too good to pass up. Hopefully they hold on.

jessetk313 · 08-22-13, 11:19 PM

I hope some tailed and hopefully it cashes. Time for bed now.

Pirates are overrated your getting a stud pitcher against a guy who is terrible and gets lucky every outing except his last where reality set in and your getting the better pitcher at home. The Pirates have been a autofade lately to go along with everything else. If Cain stays in this result is a Pirates loss without a doubt.

stefan084 · 08-22-13, 11:33 PM

he gave up 3 hits in the 1st 4 batters didn't he? cain i mean

Come on dude seriously? You clearly don't understand odds/betting or you wouldn't say the things you say. Throw your money away on a coin flip? If I was flipping a coin and told you I would pay you 60 cents every time it landed on heads, but you had to pay me 50 cents every time it landed on tails, you wouldn't play? Really???? I think anyone that has had any math or knows how to bet would play that game everyday of their life, all day.

You say I'm a troll. I think a troll is someone who posts and they don't know what they are talking about, or someone says they will "pm" people his picks. And by the way, that's you.

Charlie103 · 08-22-13, 11:50 PM

Ok.

Charlie103 · 08-22-13, 11:55 PM

Keep going with that "know it all" attitude and see how far it gets you.. I'm done. G

Charlie103 · 08-22-13, 11:55 PM

Got work tomorrow, can't sit here and argue with people all day, actually have to work for a living

Actually I'm just careful about what I post, I don't post opinions as if they are facts. And when I correct something posted I make sure I can't be proved wrong.

I don't ever correct anyone by using my opinion. If I give an opinion I make sure it's clear I'm not trying to sound "right."

Have fun at work.

illisdre · 08-23-13, 02:56 AM

Very interesting conversation on this thread.

I don't know what side Im on. Bet the Pirates so glad they won.. sure wish I took the -1.5 though but thats just retrospective thinking.

I didn't watch the games... but hearing it sounds like an unusual game... thats unfortunate because it taints my handicapping record.

Locke is a shaky guy... I don't like seeing him and usually wish it was sumone else. his W L stats are ok.. but .. thats usually a red herring.. what did he earn?
