Take the Nationals the first 10 games

[lakerboy]

Just do it- ask questions later. Teams who do shit in spring are good for the first ten games. Besides all you need are about 4 wins and your gold.

[Mikail]

You might have something here. Have they even won a game yet in spring season?

[Shortstop]

Have they even won a game yet in spring season?

No, they're 0-11 heading into Tuesday's game.

[Mikail]

Wow. and I was thinking they would be a better team this year. Only spring training though.

[dyeguy]

So you think it's a good thing that they are sucking in spring training?

[Mikail]

So you think it's a good thing that they are sucking in spring training?

spring record is basically useless. Games don't matter.

[NOLA42]

lb your a genius...I was going to do the same thing

[Bob Loblaw]

Teams who do shit in spring are good for the first ten games.

I'm not sure this applies to teams that are shit to begin with

[Pavv4]

So, let's win some money today!

[EXhoosier10]

Even though the first 10 games aren't going to be enough games to assure a winning strategy, if the Nationals come out and play "average", then they should win games. I like it LB

[KingJIM]

I don't think this will work. Phillies for 6 of ten games(they'll be lucky to win 1 of those). Mets on the road for three (who must get off to good start this year) and one versus Milwaukee.

[Terrapin Station]

I really think the Nationals will be much improved this season, and will surprise a lot of people. Playoffs mights be out of reach, but they are definitely moving in the right direction. Breakout year for John Lannan...

[THE HITMAN]

yup, about 4 will do it, for sure. Who do they open up with?

[TheLock]

I don't think this will work. Phillies for 6 of ten games(they'll be lucky to win 1 of those). Mets on the road for three (who must get off to good start this year) and one versus Milwaukee.

Do you understand how baseball odds work?


And LOL @ the Mets having to get off to a fast start. What a team has to do and what they actually do are two very different things.

If WAS wins 4 of first 10 you make money with this strategy

[whatsgood5]

Seems like a good strategy to me

[LiarGame]

Can't wait for the season to start and try this out.

[acarmelo1]

Dont like it at all

I have one POLICY
"Always Bet againts washington teams"

But in NHL they are good and that makes me angry

[TheLock]

acarmelo are you like 12 years old?

[makaveli66]

I agree with this. Very smart idea. Shitty teams seam to always start off the season very good. Back when Tamp Bay REALLY sucked they used to start off the season 3-0 or 4-0. I think Cicinatti was like that last year. I can definitely see Washington starting off the season very good through the first few games this year.

[TodaysAction]

When the regular season opens and anyone wants to do a challenge for the first ten games, let me know. You can have WA and I'll take whoever they're playing.

[Vesuvius]

Depends, will decide once the season gets closer.

[makaveli66]

I might do it, Action. But I'm thinking more like the first 5 games.

[lakerboy]

When the regular season opens and anyone wants to do a challenge for the first ten games, let me know. You can have WA and I'll take whoever they're playing.

Whats the challenge? Was will be +200 every game all they have to do is win 4 games and you lose. Do you like laying -300 on games- thats crazy

[TheLock]

I'm up for the challenge

A units challenge

[dcb11]

Just do it- ask questions later. Teams who do shit in spring are good for the first ten games. Besides all you need are about 4 wins and your gold.

my BUCCOS were like that a few years ago

[Rainman328]

sounds like a good gamble, which is the point, now, isn't it?

[Stealinhome]

LB you are a smart man this is a great idea. I started betting with MLB last year so this year will be my second go round. I cant wait.

[Rixsaw]

Nationals first 10 games:

WAS vs. Phil (3 games)
WAS vs. @NYM (3)
WAS vs. @Phil (3)
WAS vs. Mil (1)

I don't think WAS will win more than 3 games. But anything is possible.

[KingJIM]

If WAS wins 4 of first 10 you make money with this strategy

Yes I have bet baseball for 3 years. I don't see 4 wins. 2 or 3 at most and even if you get +200 for those 2 or 3 then your losing money. Let me know how this strategey works for you. I don't see this strategy making any money. To make predictions from a terrible spring training doesn't make sense.

[TodaysAction]

Whats the challenge? Was will be +200 every game all they have to do is win 4 games and you lose. Do you like laying -300 on games- thats crazy

I'm up for the challenge

A units challenge

* It will be a line-based unit challenge.
* I will post the line for WA and their opponent from whichever book(s) has/have the best line(s).
* Wagers will be risking and to win 1 unit.
* After ten games, the team that is further ahead unit wise will be declared the winner.
* A fair amount per point/further ahead will be 10 SBR points. If WAS is up 4.5 units and their opponents were up only 3.5 units, those on WAS would be paid 45 SBR points (4.5 * 10 = 45). If WAS was down 5 units and their opponents were up 4 units; those on their opponents would collect 40 SBR points (4 * 10 = 40). If but sides are in the red, all wagers are a push.

Does this work for you gentlemen?

[daneblazer]

One of my best bets for the year is the over in the National's wins. This will be a much, much better team.

I've had a few drinks tonight so forgive me but "wagers will be risking and to win 1 unit" means that if WAS is +200 we can risk 1 unit to win 2 units correct?

What I'm getting at is that if WAS is +150 I don't want to be limited to only winning 1 unit?

Capiche?

[Masu485]

i like the idea, but i don't think Wash will be +200 for most of their first 10 games. last season you saw them as favs where they should not have been many many times, and at +105 and +110 a lot also. and still lost all the time.

if the odds are around +200 though, i may follow

Capiche?

If WAS is the dog, you risk 1 unit. (1.00/1.60)
If WAS is the favorite, you play to win 1 unit. (1.30/1.00)

WAS +200, 1.00/2.00, yes
WAS +150, 1.00/1.50, yes

[TheLock]

I'll make a decision before Opening Day
