    seems like cubs are always a good team to fade away against

    yanks/sox might score 25 runs today

    everyone likes texas but i wont bet against verlander...under 9 would be my play there but juice is 25 cents right now

    i agree on cubs but the best side IMO is doc halladay -150 and for value vogelsong +100

    agree... tigers could be worth a 2 game chase, dont see them losing both games at home of the double header...


    like phillies today... might try to hit something before that ... since its a 9:05 start

    If you can predict the future then everything is easy.

    Look at Detroit/Nashville. 3-1 Series -700 or less odds 8.7% chance a team comes back from 3-1 out of a 229 sample.
    You could say wait for next game to get better odds but they lost and series is over with.

    I'm actually a Penguins fan realistically it is very hard to win four in a row in the NHL because there's so much luck unlike the NBA.
    I would not be stressing until Flyers lose Game 6 if I had this bet, I'm stressing my Pens 50-1 futures stay alive which makes the Flyers even a bigger favorite.

    Good question on the number of sweeps after 3-0, not sure the answer to that.

    Only 15 out of 170 teams have even made it to a Game 6 after trailing 3-0.

    Doesn't matter IMO. My point remains that he worked for a month to build up a bankroll and you suggested he lay it all on an all in low reward payout.

    And like I said he would absolutely be sweating bullets right now if he'd played it. He's already acknowledged that's true. Not worth it IMO.

    Ill admit that my comment about waiting til game 4 was semi smart ass without knowing the stats.

    I guess we have different definitions of sweating bullets. Mine would be Game 7 OT.
    This series is over with, there's a reason why so few teams comeback from 3-0.


    But I understand risking a whole BR that you've worked for a while to achieve. If you had a much larger one and it was only 10% of it on the bet it probably be a better idea.

    Great stock traders work all year for a 10% return. I think this was a lot easier, JMO.
