What a weird sport


Imagine tom Brady losing 4 of 5 games against a horrible team

[Chi_archie]

it's baseball with more random variance

you can't impose your will with physicality in a skill sport like you can in football or basketball

[pavyracer]

They only play them a few games each year so they don't know how to hit their pitchers.

I think most of the players have seen Jose Quintana quite a bit

They were avging like 6 runs a game coming into this series and and have scored I think 8 runs in 2 games

Pirates pitching staff is fukking terrible

I didn't bet on any of their games but it's still shocking

[thetrinity]

They r running the bases like mentally challenged so far, at least this game. Quintana is going to get lit up at any time. Hopefully the pirates can get him to the trade deadline and deal him

Pitt seems to be peaking right now. Came off their last series with hot bats and it's carried over this Dodger series.

Dodgers about to be swept!

[thetrinity]

Pirates hadn’t beaten the dodgers since 2018 before this season, so you could say they were due.

[thetrinity]

I needed Castillo to get that hit to win a sgp thought it was gonna fall

[thetrinity]

Just said dodgers haven’t been swept at home since august of 18

[Kermit]

Had the game over 9 to finish off a 3 game parlay. Thank God the Pirates showed up today.

[thetrinity]

Wonder what pirates were to sweep the series like 50/1

This is the worst post I’ve ever read here.

Imagine Brady playing almost 200 games a year too ever thought about that???? 200 football games in a year??? Who could do that until they’re 50 years old oh my god!!

Imagine Tom Brady is the creator of unicorns. And unicorns make AAALLLLLL the rainbows. Hey I’m EGrecu and I’m posting on a gambling site and I’m made out of rainbows!!!!

[thetrinity]

Some dodger fans getting yu changs autograph, I’d wipe my ass with it, what would you want that for?

I had the over too, just straight, should have never been close really. Dodgers running into outs and not getting runs that were being conceded.

Moneyball

Pitt hired Jonah Hill

[jjgold]

It proves again nobody knows anything

[QUOTE=thetrinity;30896796]Wonder what pirates were to sweep the series like 50/1[/QUOTE

Given that they were roughly +300 each game, probably 27/1.

[JMobile]

I got buried in this series

I got buried in this series

I took a hit in game 2 of the series. Not happy

Everyone is missing the obvious. Duck the Fodgers!

It's MLB baseball where the schedule is played out in 162 games.

There are thirty teams.

Even though nothing in sports is guaranteed or automatic, it's almost certain that in the course of that aforementioned 162 game schedule that each and every one of the thirty teams will a) win sixty or more games and b) lose sixty or more games.

Each and every season, since, well, since the 162 game schedule was implemented every season (with a few exceptions) the worst team was 60 and 102 or better, and the best team was 102 and 60 or worse.

Exceptions come to mind, the expansion loveable loser Mets lost like 120, that stacked Mariners team won like 117 or so, and some of those Yankee teams as well.

My favorite example, the 1984 Tigers, steamrolled their way to a championship that year.
Started off 35 and 5, 1/4 of the season played, Tigers are on pace to win 140 games, right?
They won 104 games. 35-5 first 40 games, 69 and 53 the last 3/4 of the season.

The last 75 percent of the season (122 games) they were a 90 and 72 team, barely good enough for a wild card.
Which is it, a 140 game winner? Or a 72 game loser?

Neither, one of those teams that'll win 100, 0r lose 60 teams, and conversely one of all the teams that'll win 60 and lose 100.

If anybody bets chalk on a regular basis you're almost guaranteed to go bankrupt.

Last season's Dodgers.

106 and 56.
Say that again, 106 and 56.

Dodgers won two out of every three games played.
They won twice as many games as they lost.

How much money, if you bet LA 100 dollars a game (flat bet every game for the 162 games on the money line) do you think you would have made last season?

The correct answer would be you did not make any money at all.
Matter of fact, you list money.

How is that possible?
How can one possibly lose money betting on a team that won twice as many games than they lost?

How can a team that wins 106 times and loses 56 times be a loser?

Easy.
When a team (like the Dodgers) were favored to win 161 out of 162 times...

106 wins = 10.600 dollars taken in (106 x 100 dollars)

56 losses usually would = 5,600 dollars paid out (if bet at even money)

Factor in that the 56 times the Dodgers lost, the average price on the run line for the 56 games was -216

56 losses at -216 a loss = 12, 096 dollars

You win 10,600 dollars winning 106 times.
You lose 12,096 dollars losing only 56 times.

This is how you lose almost 1500 dollars betting on a team that wins twice as much as it loses.

I can tell you how that if you bet on a team last season every game that won 70 times and lost 92 times made over 2400 dollars.

Rarely, if ever, do you bet heavy chalk in baseball.

Hey Nash u ever gonna post a bases play this year ???

[stevenash]

Hey Nash u ever gonna post a bases play this year ???

Yep.
If I place a bet it's usually posted in the "Fly Me" thread.

If I spend an hour a day on a thread I create, so help me moderators and everybody else in this place that if it gets spammed and trolled again like it did in 2018, and 2019, let's just say you'll see the ugliest side of me you haven't seen yet.

Guaranteed.
And nobody wants that, right?

That's why I'm reluctant to start a thread.
If one wants to read what I post/write in detail on a regular basis, it's not on this site, or any other site, but my personal site.

I'm thinking about creating a thread by the end of this upcoming weekend.
Maybe, probably.

It's not that I think I'm too good for this place, I AM NOT.
It's just the fact time and effort gets wasted by a handful of dopes.

I hear ya Nash

Bun ya trolls on here these days

Hope u doing well in ur sport ...

The Dodgers are the gayest team in sports worldwide. They play in LA and are entitled spoiled individuals like the populous that surrounds them. They thought they would just show up and win. They are f*gs and there is not a more irritating collection of players/coaches anywhere in the country. Would LOVE if their team plane went down and there were no survivors.
