No No-Hitters during the 2010 season +400

[IrishTim]

Interesting prop. Did anyone take him up on the offer?

[seaborneq]

I look at this as an investment. In any venture, if you can make four times the money you put in, most reasonable people would consider this a good investment. When you give a unit to your financial advisor and he/she gives you five units back, does it matter what sector/wager produced the profit? Didn't think so. Sometimes a unit is worth more than a days play. I could use the same unit to play a game tonight at a one to one ratio also. I think this is a good wager, and I can wait to see if it cashes or not. I could lose the unit today, tomorrow, or before labor day. If it wins, that is all that matters.

another one to sweat?

[superjeff24]

the thing is, based on past history you aren't going to cash that bet. For this to be correct odds, you'd need like 8-1 odds IMO. 8 of last 10 years is pretty strong. Anyways its your money, you can part with it if you like

Since this was bumped, I have a question:

Call me retarded. I am not buying Halladay changing leagues and doing better than he did with the Jays. He is older, has never played postseason baseball, and will have to bat now.

What does the playoffs have to do with this?

You're trying to rationalize a comment from a guy who thinks moving from the AL East to a top team in the NL doesn't benefit a pitcher.

No pressure packed situations to draw from, no pennant races heat of the battle moments to see what he is made of. Roger Clemens was the same exact thing until he became a Yank. Good regular season pitcher, nothing more nothing less.

Get them out of the way early.

I'll put down points Halladay is a 20+ game winner this season, barring injury.

Easy 20 game win season for Halladay, hell I'd give him a shot at 25+ on the Phillies. To the guy who said changing leagues won't matter get real buddy. Facing a pitcher 2-3 times a game makes it a lot easier and the NL hitters haven't seen much of Halladay. Barring an injury he's winning the NL Cy Young and having a career year in K's for sure.

[Mini19]

Roy halladay= cy young winner

[keyboarding]

Halladay will have the wins but Lincecum's numbers are already nasty. It'll be interesting to see if the committee is stupid like usual and goes with the guys with the most wins or if they go with the guy with the better numbers.

that has very little to do with this though, unless you think pitching a no hitter requires you to be battle-tested in the postseason.

This thread isn't about how Halladay will do in the playoffs.

[KingJIM]

I would pass on that for sure. GL to anyone who gives it a shot.

are you joking? Greinke had 16 wins last year, behind 6 players and tied with 3 others at 7th place. Cy Young Winner.

That's only because his numbers, like Lincecum's, were nasty. Explain Cliff Lee winning it the year before over Halladay.

burried

[EaglesPhan36]

Ubaldo = No No on 4.17.10.

[lakerboy]

you guys are too quick

[DrStale]

That didn't take very long.

[superjeff24]

And 4-1 odds by the books take in the square money

[keyboarding]

What were the odds for there to be a no hitter this year?

[poker_dummy101]

didn't even get to sweat thing one for long..on to next one though

[poker_dummy101]

disregard..misread

[stealthyburrito]

that prop didn't last long, kinda crazy considering before tonight we've already seen a few pitchers work a no-no into the 7th.

[smitch124]

Baldy was a good candidate for the 1st no-no, very underrated. Maybe not as much anymore.

[jayroy25]

If u bought this prop it suks for u

[TheBet]

And another one bites the bust,

[dynamite140]

what are the odds of no perfect game?

[Shortstop]

For those that wagered "YES" there will be at least one no-hitter, will they be paid tomorrow or have to wait until the season ends?

[superjeff24]

season ends. this is why I wouldn't bother to make the bet personally. why tie up funds for 6 months that you could potentially flip many many many times in the interim

[superjeff24]

what are the odds of no perfect game?

it has happened 16 times since 1900. 110 years/16= they will probably give you a line of -20000 to make it not worth your while. A book would likely take a bet of "perfect game this year" and could easily give 5-1 odds and be very profitable

[hoopster42]

wow, did not even make it 2 wks into the season

[Shortstop]

season ends. this is why I wouldn't bother to make the bet personally. why tie up funds for 6 months that you could potentially flip many many many times in the interim

This prop is a totally different animal than any other future though. This prop could have hit the very first game of the season.

I can understand the book waiting until the season ends for total team wins, most home runs, etc. but for this specific prop I'd at least call and ask for my pay out now instead of October, it can't hurt to ask...
