Cubs tonight against the Astros

BiffTFinancial · 07-19-10, 04:35 PM

tend to agree. i'm already on the under, so will probably avoid the sides, but BOL with the Cubs. 3-0 Cubs sounds great for both of us.

TR88 · 07-19-10, 04:37 PM

Astros here. I agree with the under tho

TheScoreGuru · 07-19-10, 04:37 PM

3-0 would be fine. if i wasn't on the cubs i'd take the under as well. but the momentum tells me a bet on the Cubs would be safer.
GL!

Guru, i think you gotta be slightly crazy to pay that juice to back the cubs, regardless of who they playing......gl tonight

Unchained · 07-19-10, 04:48 PM

Like Silva at home. GL

Capri Sports Free Play is on the Cubs... the juice is pretty high though.

Bostongambler · 07-19-10, 04:55 PM

i'm tempted to play Marlins, if only because Rockies are #1 public play of the day. will probably stay away. hoping to find third play that i like (on Cubs under, A's) but having trouble fixing on anything. oh, let's be honest: i'll just wait until TA announces his picks and make the one i like the best my 3rd play. there are far worse strategies...

TheScoreGuru · 07-19-10, 05:09 PM

yep, marlins are tempting just b'cause everyone is on the rockies. like yesterday.. anyone was on phillies / halladay.. we know the result. i don't expect it to go the same way in terms of produced runs, but there's just no way for me to back the rockies tonight.

like the A's too, tonight, but won't play against the redsox.

//btw: your picture looks like a girl i met in italy. had a strage dejavu..

sweethook · 07-19-10, 05:27 PM

i like cubs tonight they may be on a roll , but no i cant lay it so i like under GL.

TheScoreGuru · 07-19-10, 05:42 PM

i will parlay it. cubs and under 9 makes +152

TheScoreGuru · 07-19-10, 05:57 PM

additional picks: brewers + tigers in a parlay.

/edit: and in single bets.

All over Houston tonight bro...let's see.

BiffTFinancial · 07-19-10, 06:06 PM

for the record, settled on Cards for my 3rd play. BOL. c'mon, 3-0 Cubs.

smarmy · 07-19-10, 06:12 PM

daniell · 07-19-10, 06:13 PM

The first thing I learned about MLB is that betting the Cubs is never a good idea. They don't work on momentum, it seems no one can figure them out. They have made the books a TON of money this year (mine included).

BiffTFinancial · 07-19-10, 07:30 PM

whoa, Silva is shitastic tonight. Stros went 7-9 batting in the first. i hope Zambrano gave him a pile driver on the way in the dug out. oh well, baseball's a long game, and with 40+ pitches already, Silva can't pitch much more of it.

TheScoreGuru · 07-19-10, 07:40 PM

well porky pig, you're always wiser afterwards. that's easy and lame. you wouldn't post if it was 5-0 cubs and not 5-0 astros. so come on. it's silvas fault, period.

BiffTFinancial · 07-19-10, 07:41 PM

well, at least Silva's out. Atkins didn't have nearly as much trouble containing that murderer's row....

a mountain to climb now.. may the jouney begin.

no worries. where are you from?

TheScoreGuru · 07-19-10, 07:51 PM

from germany.

now 8-0 astros after top 3rd.. i think the last chances are gone. all i need now is: tigers + brewers. marlins in addition would be nice..

BiffTFinancial · 07-19-10, 07:57 PM

yeah, no sense watching the under too closely now. at least Cards have come back after falling behind 3-0. if Cards hang on and A's win, that can more than offset the under, plus had positive day in soccer. i swear, seems like the strangest things happen when i play Cubs games, oh well.
