About a month ago I had a large bet on the Dodgers when they played San Diego at Petco. As usual I placed my bet prior to the game and watched as the line shifted as bets came in. About 3 minutes prior to the game starting a gentleman in a dark suit and glasses approached the clerk which simultaneously coincided with the Dodgers going from being favored to being a dog. I approached the guy assuming he was the one who shifted the line and asked him, "you like the padres?", in which he responds, "I got Jansen in my back pocket" and then walked away. I really didn't think much of it as Dodgers dominated the majority of the game....till the 9th....when Jansen came in the game, blowing the game and getting the loss. Jansen didn't throw over 90 mph that night but hasn't blown a game since and has been in the high 90's ever since. For all I know the guy was full of crap but it makes me wonder, do you guys think alot of this goes on? I got to thinking in this individual case, A GUY Like Jansen.....he's probably supporting tons of family from his hometown so even his salary which is around a million I'm guessing might not go along way when you're supporting 15-20 people, as well as paying for ammenties that are all seemingly new expenses, which would make things like this not just probable but maybe even more frequent then one might expect...idk but it's bothered me since
