I keep buying the Houston Astros to win the World Series...

[The Giant]

I'm not exactly sure why, I think it's a sickness at this point.

Anyway, I keep putting some money on this every night it seems. The average odds are about +3300, which is pretty good considering they were +1000 to start the season.

They're in last place, but the season is young. Hopefully they can give me a sweat come September.

[TheMoneyShot]

Giant... buying Houston is like buying OKC to win the NBA title. It's dreamland.

Best of luck though.

[sweethook]

ok stop now ...dam it man

[PittsburghPlayer]

Good luck. I would stop buying, but that is me. Like you wrote, early in season.

[PorkChop]

Buy their AL Pennant. Lowest value you'll get again this season.

They're going to take off after Monday (after Aj's birthday).

They'll win the AL Pennant and lose to Cubs in World Series. That's a scripted fact.

Just watch their boom in the next 30 days

[Itsamazing777]

They have no pitching.

[Sledge187]

The bullpen is killing the Astros. They have the offensive talent but the bullpen keeps getting them losses. That said offensively, the latter part of their lineup is real shaky. On top of all that, their ace Kuechel has been awful this year. Alot of big ifs but if the bullpen can start getting outs and their ace can get his stuff back, they should contend in weak AL West race.

[daneblazer]

The Ken Giles trade may end up being the Smoltz for Doyle Alexander trade of our generation

[Smoke]

Don't do it the giant

[unde0087]

Even if they were in first place by 10 games they have no chance.

[PorkChop]

5 to 1 to start this season

13 to 1 now. Free money.

Watch them take off this month boys.

BOL

[Ra77er]

Dallas is the key.

[The Giant]

It's not necessarily about winning the World Series.

It's about buying a stock on the downside, and hoping to capitalize on it. All they have to do is make the playoffs and I'll make some money.

This team is a mess right now, but as Pork Chop said watch for them to take off in the next few days. I'll be buying more of them tonight if their odds continue to move down.

And you're right, Dane, that trade hasn't exactly panned out.

[Seaweed]

Giant is a real investor

SMRAT MAN!

[pavyracer]

I keep buying Braves futures. I'll be a millionaire if they win the World Series this year.

[ronald]

SQUARE

The play was to do what I did.

Houston UNDER 87.5 wins.

[The Giant]

Yeah, nothing square about locking up a 50/50 proposition for six months.

Ronald, you're flaming, bro.

Once the Astros realize Carlos Gomez is a worthless bum, this team is going to take off.

[ronald]

I can afford it.

You probably cannot.

Yet you do it anyway by betting on the WS. Same timeline, if not longer.

And your math skills are deplorable, M. Géant.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

in b4 that little kid throwing money from the window gif...

Apparently we can both afford it.

My math skills are razor-sharp.

Don't question me, Ronnie. I will inflict pain on your butthole is this continues.

I love that gif.

What is it with you and scripts? First heat now mlb is rigged? Jesus man.

[The Giant]

Don't forget the Stars.

Porkchop's brain could be frying in the desert heat.

[No coincidences]

WTF were their outfielders doing in the 7th inning today?

[The Giant]

WTF were their outfielders doing in the 7th inning today?

Carlos Gomez needs to be on the bench.

He's not even above the Mendoza line.

[Sledge187]

Carlos Gomez needs to be on the bench.

He's not even above the Mendoza line.

I was shocked they brought him back. He wasn't good last season.

[JArrieta49]

Astros are well below .500 over their last 170 games.

Overrated roster.

[jjgold]

I think they teased us last year but they are not is good as there roster

[packerd_00]

Never know mate,they could turn it around,gotta start taking advantage of the division matchups.

[The Giant]

I wanted to buy more this morning, but got busy.

Hopefully they'll put the same line up after the games are over, it was up to +3500.

I'll probably have a total of around $300 on this. Should get me back a little more than $10,000. I don't see how it loses.

[Smoke]

Dr Phil does not approve

[statnerds]

this reminds me of when i bought Pens to win Cups at +2700 a few months ago.

i'm going to get on board with this.

full disclosure, have cubs +395

One of the main reasons I took Houston was because the Cubs were in the opposite league.

Good luck on the Penguins!

[Ghenghis Kahn]

[jjgold]

They are terrible

Get off them

[The Giant]

They are a hot mess.

I've got about $200 on them, with average odds at about +3500. I've officially stopped buying them.

I'm looking for a new team.

Cardinals, Pirates, Indians all possibilities. Maybe even Tampa Bay. If Archer ever got right, they might be worth a flyer.
