    The Astros are pure parlay fodder - just tuck their opponent into one and two team combos with other games and get paid all day and half the night. Here are a few of mine from today's action:

    I still CANNOT FUKKING believe that - about once a week - some sh1t stain writes up a post about what a great "value" the Astros are at +250.

    So, let's bet $100 to make $250. Easy, right???

    Oh wait, the Astros actually have to win. Which they don't, of course.

    Vegas has to be pissing themselves silly at these wanna-be sharps and their "value plays."

    I said it before and I'll say it again: Where's the value in a loss...?

    But keep doing it your way.

    I swear to fukking god - Vegas must make more profits off wanna-be sharps than the squares.

    If someone didn't figure this out earlier (that Astros sucks) should seriously quit betting... It's bad we even have to open one of these threads.

    for any of you guys looking for more creative ways to fade the stros i also like betting their tt u3 (hilarious it 3 every damn day), saves some juice in many cases (although it still been -140 this cards series, still cheaper than cards ml)...i wouldnt suggest it today cause this one going over (prob more of cards doing but like hou to score 3 at least) ...but just check out their runs scored last month or so and id imagine you would see they dont top 3 all that often... far as today goes think the plus money on the over 8.5 is nice and might as well play stl-2.5....

    Couldn't agree more. I guess the "even a blind squirrel finds a nut" seems to be the thought of the day for picking the Stros.

    If you MUST play the Astros, at least give yourself a fighting chance and take the RL. Or at least wait till they play the Cubs, Rocks, Pads at home

    I've been fading the Astros every game since Aug. 10th and chased the losses. I managed to start when they won 2 in a row vs the Brewers, but got it all back the 3rd game. ML prices are getting up there against them now. Looks like the Cardinals are -308 when I just checked this morning. Oh well, I'll pay it because I don't expect the Astros to win more than 2-3 games in a row the rest of the season. Plenty of BR to chase the rare losses.

    Great win on those parlays but man I bet you were getting nervous halfway through that game. I know its the Stros so they will find ways to lose but that's a sh*t ton of bets tied up in 1 outcome.

    So who took the Stros today? They must have seen the public service announcement and got pissed off! I took the game ov 8.5 and Cards ov5 worried the red birds are gonna fukk me on the tt. There offense is so up and down (mostly the latter) but I really felt they were due for a breakout day.

    I pick my spots and take the other team on the RL.

    In my earlier post, I did not advocate blindly fading the Stros. I do find it comical and somewhat sad that so many wanna-be sharps have turned off the most important filter of all - COMMON FUKKING SENSE.

    If the Stros should win tonight, it won't surprise me at all if these Stro-suckers come in here and gloat with their +250 (or whatever the line is) win. This will feed their notion that only chumps eat chalk and they'll go in again with their +250 wager. And eventually, they'll be in the same boat as the people who only take huge chalk.

    Give me short faves, small dogs, and in between. I'll hit my upper 50 percentile and, with disciplined money management, end every month in the black.

    I kind of feel bad for the Stros. Every time they have a sizable lead leading to a win they blow it either mid or end game.

    Its funny reading all the "sharp" threads on how they have good value at -130 on a +2.5 RL and I'd be damn if they don't even cover that.

    STOP taking the mother fukin ASTROS, those of you who think you know baseball....bet on other games!

    Jesus christ, stop giving your hard earned cash to your bookies on this shit team. Either no bet or bet against them.
