Halladay is -400 Friday!

[syy211]

-400 is insane

[SolidDala]

I may be crazy, and backing Halladay at this price is a losing bet heck even at -160 its bad to back him this season, BUT against Marquis I believe its a value bet at least FF on PHI. Some bets is +EV at -400, that doesn't mean I play it.. Over 4 or 4.5 FF is the best value bet in this game imo and that will be my bet...

[SolidDala]

Sorry, it is not possible to make a great bet and lose.

wrong

[curious]

Nationals RRL is the play

Nationals RRL -1 1/2 is the play here. Probably be +500 or more

[oiler]

Hm... I hope no one takes PHillies ML, you CAN'T lay -400 in such an unpredictable game like baseball.

tell me about it.that line is too damn high no matter who is pitching

[fury]

Gonna take a chance on the Nats ML.

[SolidDala]

This line is based on the FF innings, since Marquis is pulled after 4-5 innings, after that its a different game..

[Fasttrack]

Nats ML is worth a shot at those odds.

[netinfo]

Huge amount of chalk on the Phillies. No play for me.

Before I read this thread, I made a play on this game. I figured it was worth a shot on a small wager, and agree with Curious here, the play is NATS -1.5 @ +680

If your objective behind placing a wager is to win, a bet can only be great if it cashes. I don't care if you can get Secretariat at odds of 10,000-to-1, if you don't cash that ticket, there's nothing great about it. Perhaps you are talking about value, which is a different discussion entirely.

[landers781]

How do you not take the nats here based solely on value. I do believe the pirates beat halladay this year and even cashed the RRL. 4-1 odds in a baseball game is just insane

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Way to much chalk no play for me.

[kidk]

hahaha, wow...

Taking the runline here for sure, very confident with this also.

fyi the game halladay has been fav in over 300 hes struggled and have always went over

[Lion4Life]

Small play on the Nats for me.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Small play on the Nats for me.

Not even worth it.

[Dexter]

gotta take the nats +1.5 and ML here. phils about to lose 2 straight.

yeah, -1.5/-170 is not a sharp play at all.

this game has 3-2 phils written all over it.

[phillybadboy]

halladay sucks

[Dexter]

halladay sucks

phillybadboy - you're a genius

[soxwin]

at -400 you are saying that Philly wins this game 80% of the time. That is just to break even. To make a bet on Philly worth the juice, you have to be pretty sure you will win this game 90% of the time....

if you can say that they will win 90%, then why mess with the RL unless you are going all in and the $$$ you get back makes you reach a goal. Unless you are getting + $$$ w/RL, you are playing the RL b/c you just aren't sure that they will win and you are trying to limit your losses.

a -400 bet is never worth it in baseball for just 1 game. For value sake, it is nats or no play. Marquis right now offers no value even at +350. He has yet to show he can get major league hitters out. If he was pitching like he can, then this would be a steal.

[fsfalcons]

marquis throws a no hitter

[soxwin]

marquis throws a no hitter

you spelled Halladay wrong it looks like Marquis

You are right sir. And yes I were just referring to value - if a great player or team manage to lose one game that doesn't mean they stop being great. But for that specific game they would not. So we are both right just two different angles on it.. should have evolved my short answer a bit

[SolidDala]

3-2 game .. Marquis gives that up in the first 3 innings alone..

[Sawyer]

What if Halladay gets injuried in 2nd inning?
What if Halladay is on a bad day? These are human you know not machines..
What if bullpen ruins the game?

Don't lay -400 or -350, Never. We all know Marquis' realistic ERA is somewhere between 4.50-4.90, not 14.33, LoL!
