I know how you feel, but I also had A LOT** on Philly and had the most exhilirating feeling.

Good point Arch. The Pirates are by far the worst run organization in MLB, maybe in all of sports the more I think about it.

I had the Pirates at +230 for a nice amount of cash. Going into the bottom of the 9th the Bucs led 7-3. I'm feeling good and then disaster strikes. Needless to say Matt Capps gives up 5 runs and the Pirates go down 8-7.

However, this is a perfect example why I love baseball so much. There is no clock. The game is never over until that final out is recorded or the winning run crosses the plate. Unfortunately, the Buccos couldn't get that final out on Saturday.

This is one of these bets that is good to place £5 or £10 in-live betting, and get up to 500 times of what you risk (depends on the book, I think Betfair is good for these live bets).

You risk £5 and get £2500 but most of the times it never happens.
This is what gambling is about.

I believe he means that, using live in-game betting, you'd be able to make a ton of money on these kinds of games where a team losing by 5+ runs late in the game eventually wins it.

Gotcha. The Pirates still should have won that game.
