    Cubs have won 15 games, 11 of those games where 2+ runs. So they are 11-4 when they do win. You would have a 73% chance of covering that bet.

    If the cubs are tied in the 8th I don't feel like losing when they will win by a run

    The Ricketts family just optioned the Cubs franchise down to triple-A.

    You didnt have anything to say while the Cubs trailed 90% of the game.

    Take your money, and dont act like its your first win ever.

    Took a late rally to avoid getting sweeped by one of the worst teams in the league. Nothing to be proud of here, nothing to warrant laying -200. If you didn't learn what was wrong with taking the Cubs today feel free to continue making plays like this and you'll learn soon enough.

    I'll take my 105 units of profit and run, however I had this handicapped to a tee even with the RL morons giving me crap for not wasting money on the RL. I knew the cubs would not get humiliated at home. Late rally or not it was an easy win I knew would hit.

    I guess you consider people who are more successful than you at everything ''stupid''. If you had half a brain you would have tailed my lock and instead you have to deal with another losing day.

    1: I didn't play this game.
    2: I did play the Pirates yesterday, so I'm up more money than you.
    3: I really hope you're just putting on an act.
    4: You're right. If I had half a brain I would have tailed your lock. Luckily, I have a whole brain.

    you are not up more than me, you had your lunch money bet on the pirates yesterday but were not nearly as confident as I was today. You can tell by the laundry list of excuses you decided to draw up.

    The more money you won on today's game, the stronger the sign is that you will soon go bankrupt.

    Read up on the Kelly Criterion if your mind understands math (although, this doesn't actually apply to bets which have negative expected value).

    I understand this bet didn't have value on PAPER, however I knew they would get the job done and you don't have to be jealous you didn't have over 10 grand risked on them.

    Haha. If it didn't have value on paper then it didn't have value. What other kind of value is there?

    Given your level of intelligence, I think it's safe to assume that you make about 30k a year. So, your bankroll is probably at or below 20k. Risking 50% of your bankroll on one play won't suit you well for very long. Best of luck to you though.

    Who cares about value when it's a sure winner? Once again you fail to make any sense as to how I'm ''unintelligent'' other than I'm a bigger winner than you that can actually post a lock you feel confident in and go balls out with a great write-up. You don't have the guts nor capping ability to do so.

    You'd be out of your mind to think the pirates win again
    Cappinpicks,

    Grats on pulling off this win.

    My to the Cubbies for coming back in this game, not only to win the game, but to avoid the embarrassing sweep at home.
