    Anyone on the Pirates tonight at plus 120?

    I know the pirates historically dont hit cain but I think the Pirates are obviously the better team and are playing for alot more so I feel like I have to take the plus 120 and hope Locke has one good game in him tonight in a pitcher"s park. Anyone else on this? Im on the under as well.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
