[lunchbawks]

im taking the cubs ML.

I think you guys with an Under have a winning wager,,,,FYI,,,
Bumgarner 5 past ,,last 8 starts
2-2-1-10-1-0-1-2
6-9
1-0-2-2-1-0-0-1
game
3-2-3-12-2-0-1-3
__________________________
Dempster 5 past last 8 starts
2-2-2-0-,9-,,7-0-0
6-9 past
4-5-3-0-,5-,11-0-0
game
6-7-5-0-14-18-0-0

Dempster has shutout ball last 2 starts,,no way is this an over

[PocketChange]

Too much thinking involved here for me. The last time I saw one of these high total Cubs threads some poster was bashed for praising the generous under. It went under with something like 3-4 runs to spare. They proceeded to call him a square.

[partyfoul01]

I hope were right goaline. I don't think anyone will play the over. The only plays people make this game is cubs and the under.....I played under cause giants need this win badly,so I'd never bet against a team fighting every game.

[CollegePro]

i like giants tonight... gl guys... last time, everyone said over when total was high in wrigley. and under cashed. Today, lots of people like under with high total and over will be cash money.... but i like giants more than over.

[john49ers]

yeah seriously, i don't care if they're playing in a hurricane, ground balls are outs even with the wind

lolol mad funny

[smitch124]

The Giants tied the live ball era (after 1920) record for consecutive games giving up 3 or less runs (16) last night. With this total, that record looks to be over

[goallinebob]

you have to hit the ball for the over to prevail,,,,,,,I can not see it even if there is a hurricane,,,

[james4512]

I am not saying change your bet because of the wind, I agree with you that stats are pointing to an under. What I am saying, is anyone betting a total in Wrigley and refuses to ackowledge or consider wind is a fool.

I also think its foolish that you are taking your girlfriends word of "wind feels the same as it did yesterday" when weather reports clearly state:

Yesterdays Wind at 8:05pm for Wrigley Field: 7mph from East
Todays Wind at 7:05pm For Wrigley Field: 18mph from SSW

Those are drastically different winds.

great stat so what was the score last night 2-0? So we'll be generous and times that by 3 o wow your at 6 fukkin runs you still need 7 more for the over, no logic at all would talk me into playing that unless you got 9 barry bonds vs 9 sammy sosas 12 years ago with betty white pitching for each side

[vyomguy]

Lets see..

The last 2 games between these two teams have gone 1-0 and 2-0.....then today two good pitchers with era 3.27 and 3.5 are pitching. And now the total is set at 12.5....why would the books do this. The total should have been 8-9 even with the winds. Seeing such a big line clearly suggests books wants you to take under....and 80% of the public is on under....The right play is the OVER...or its a no play.

Actually in the game last night there were several fly balls that were on the warning track, if they were Homeruns like they should be tonight 12.5 is reachable...

You are correct. I'm an under player, just prefer unders but staying far away from this one. These games always end up 11-5 or so, experience has taught me that. Every Texas leaguer is going to be a 3-run homer, easy win for over bettors. Hell even the FF at 7 looks like stealing until the game starts, LOL.

Reachable? They will probably have 12 runs by the 4th inning tonight.

[Nismo]

Total is too high. Under only.

[vyomguy]

Late money is on the over.

[bonduforlife]

10-0 san fran WOW!!!!!

[smitch124]

Both of Uribes HRs go out easy against any wind...

[james4512]

well im an asshole, dempster pitched like an 8 year old against the yankees o well,

[smitch124]

I'm telling ya, this game is not over. Giants have 24 outs to go

[teaserpleaser]

dead in 2nd inning

It's 10-0 top of 2nd inning, my statement doesn't sound so ridiculous now does it? You try to help others using your experience but sometimes it pisses people off because you sound like a know-it-all. Truth is games like this they easily could have hung 14 or so but they know they will get under action at 12.5 or so from people that don't know any better, cappers that sit around and look at ERA's and wonder where all the scoring is going to come from. Wrigley is a unique field, you can't compare it to any other place in MLB, when they hang these "ridiculously high" totals look to play over or stay off the game. Anyway congrats to the over bettors, easy money for veterans of the business.

[yisman]

not smart to bet unders on high totals at wrigley

they're high because of stiff winds to the outfield.

[teaserpleaser]

sometimes the Cubs totals go to 14.. Don't try to be smart and go under here is all I can tell you.

[treece]

i love an easy winner.

[Vesuvius]

I think the 2nd inning solves the thread.

[pokernut9999]

Some people never learn.

[latinrus]

I"m glad I stayed away from this game! But I always remember what my friend said to me once, if the game is in Wrigley and the wind is helping, u have two choices, stay away or bet on the over. I remember once I saw the total at 12 and I ask him WTF 12? He start searching on the internet and then he said it'll be an over, I put a little on the over and at the end there were 14 runs but they did them in maybe 6-7 innings, todays is even ridiculous 10 runs in 2 innings? What is Dempster throwing? Batting practice?

[OMGRandyJackson]

SHOCKER!! not...

[fishmonger]

general rule over 10.5 in wrigley take over, easy money

[B1GER1C828]

to the people who took under

[troutsky]

Yeah, under looks blown this time.

But remember like 2 weeks ago when it was at 11.5 and game ended at 11? Not true that the high overs always win.

[rickbo528]

Any chance of the game getting rained out before 5 innings?

[seaborneq]

Lesson learned.

[Rixsaw]

holy crap....SF is cover the u/o all by themselves....

[fishmonger]

to the people who took under

Shit no runs after I posted that crap. I guess I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch.
