The Yankees are gonna get Cliff Lee now?!?!

[Tilt360]

Yankee will repeat if they get Lee

[2daBank]

Does anyone think SEA would bump up Felix Hernandez to start tonight if Lee gets traded?

didnt even think of that, i suppose it is certainly possible but when your season is quickly going down the shitter (all the way if Lee is traded) then not sure if you bother putting in your ace on short rest........

[Pauulzcappin]

I like my Yankee future a lot more right now.

[xyzky]

Not feeling this move I made on the game now...I didnt realize once you made an action bet that the book has the right to change the bet (my bet at the price I wanted) to whatever price they deem necessary if there is a pitching change. What if they bring in some AAA guy and move NYY to -200. I dont want a large sum of money on that line with Hughes getting hit hard with his last go round against SEA...

[xyzky]

The last month I have really been betting baseball, but, before then I was mostly a Football and B-Ball bettor...

[2daBank]

im in same boat xyzky, hoping that no matter what line would re-open at ppl will still pound NYY and drive it up from the opener and i can still buy back......

[Jrod124]

this is from 5dimes I got my Yankees bet voided
"Action: All moneyline wagers have action. However, if there is a pitching change, the moneyline price will be computed with revised odds based on the new pitchers."

Not sure how other bookmakers do it, but dimes will give u a new price

[xyzky]

The casino I bet it at automatically gives you action unless you tell them otherwise. But, it seems everywhere else you give you listed pitchers. So, I guess I will have to drive over there and find out what there ruling is on the bet. If it’s bad then I will have to try and get it canceled.

If the Yanks dont land him today...What will Lee's mindset be like during the game if he thinks the deal will go through within a couple of days? Does he really want to beat the team he will be joining and then the Yanks miss the playoffs by 1 game...

Well, well, well. Yanks are going to the playoffs either way but I can appreciate your comment. It remains unclear how his status will impact his play tonight...he is solid.

I was hoping for a trade today (some books even pulled it off the board temporarily) . . . any word?

[Capybara]

Funny how I started this thread to bitch about the Yankees and it turned into a rather helpful and interesting discussion of "action" bets.

Not saying Yanks wont win the division by 10 games or something, just wondering what kind of mind set you might have as an MLB pitcher...

Good lesson for me, I usually check everything out in detail, but, I ran out of the office as quickly as possible to get the bet down

yea i jumped on it w/o checking into action bets sounded like a smart move theoretically anyway....honestly now that i know the rules i gotta wonder why the fuk anyone would place a action bet

[Dirty Sanchez]

On the Michael Kay show...he just said that trade most likely won't happen and has almost fallen apart for what Seattle is asking for now

[pokernut9999]

Lee deserves it after the Phils dealt him.

WFAN confirmed it too... must wonder if this has a positive or negative effect on Lee...

[Dirty Sanchez]

Buster Olney said Seattle was using the Yankees offer to get into a bidding war with someone else and the Yanks gave the finger.

[SparJMU]

Phukin Yankees haters can't even get their facts straight. Why don't you like at the 40 man roster? You'll see plenty of players that come up through the system. A few have left but and have come back but still Yankees nonetheless.

Jeter, Rivera, Posada, Pettitte, Thames, Cano, Robertson, Hughes, Chamberlain, Johnson and Pena. There are others who are homegrown that have played but are not currently on the 40 man roster as well.

Welcome the MLB. How many teams have players where you watch their entire careers anyway?

Thanks for playing along.

Now make a list of the overpaid, overrated, hired gun free agents or trade acquisitions the Yankees have made over the last 5 - 10 years simply because they go out every single year and buy whoever the flavor of the week is. Try to think of all the players who were all stars and big name players well before they joined the Yankees, and cashed on in previous performance and took big paychecks to sell out.

Personally I don't follow the Yankees because they are an embarrassment to professional sports, but I will get you started with some easy ones, you can fill in the rest for me.....

Lee wont be traded before the game. If i were seattle i would wait and let cliff lee completely stun the yankees and add a little more value to this trade

[hockeyman30304]

Hmm it seems that the yanks always go after the players texas wants......

[jayroy25]

I hope the yanks dont get him. Its so fukd up in the sports world that a team can just go out and buy whoever they want.then trash them couple years later. Fuk ny and fuk the yankees

[jayroy25]

Honestly i hope the yankees get knocked out first round. This would make my year

[cactuslv]

i think no

[LT Profits]

forget crying about it do what i just did and hammer NYY at -105 ACTION and hope Lee doesnt make the start and the line skyrockets leaving a sweet middle

That would not work because your price would get adjusted to the new opener.

[og4667]

looks like the trade talk are breaking down. I just want to know if Lee is pitching tonight.

[2daBank]

sadly i know this now LT.........

[qsilver335]

The yanks will have great value tonight if you can get an action bet on them before the trade is final.

[2daBank]

if he not traded why wouldnt he?

[LT Profits]

if your ticket says x price at that time, that is what you get. if the line goes nuts your ticket doesn't change. if you have the yanks -105 last night, action, that is what you get i don't care if yogi berra is pitching.

Wrong.

Action means you still have action, but at the new opening line,

Listed means you have no action.

It is a standard Vegas rule that has been around forever.

[gshock1]

if he not traded why wouldnt he?

He probably will pitch, the million dollar question is how will this impact his mindset?

[2daBank]

hopefully it fuks him up seeing as at this moment i got more than i would normally bet on NYY....but my guess is it doesnt effect him much as he is a real pro......

[LT Profits]

So, basically even though I put it a bet in with the Yankees @ -103 (which it states on my ticket) they can change my bet to lets say -150?

Did you bet Action? If you are not given a Listed or Action option, most books default to listed, meaning you would get a refund.

[gshock1]

Are you staying with this or buying out of it? I'm really on the fence here. Hughes is showing signs of breaking down, while Lee is getting stronger.

[2daBank]

more than likely buying out of it, at least quite a bit of it.......
