Baseball World Cup: Anyone wagering on it?

I feel their is money to be made here myself Baus. In fact I'm considering putting a little coin down on Thailand +15.5.

BAUS · 11-08-07, 07:54 PM

Canada beat Thailand 18-0 yesterday. Keep in mind there is a 7 inning mercy rule in International tournaments.

Profited a cool $25 on this one. Cuba 6-3 over Canada.

I'm on the Mexico vs South Africa Over 10.5 (-105) today.

Bigboydan, Thailand lost 18-2.

As predicted there were some upsets. Italy beat USA 6-2. I think Italy was something like +400.

I bailed on that play at the last minute Baus.

Glad to see you are profiting on these events.

I see this one cashed for you too Baus.

Mexico beat South Africa 13-3

BAUS · 11-10-07, 02:16 PM

Yes sir! Another $25 profit...my next pick World Cup will be released shortly.

My pick of the day will be Canada +197 over Netherlands. Must win game for Canada. They will be starting Brooks McNiven who had a solid year in AA this year in the Giants system.

Canada has more players with professional experience than Netherlands and their bullpen is well rested.

I'm also on the runline: Canada +2.5

BAUS is burying the books 25 clams at a time.

Go Canada!

bigboydan · 11-10-07, 03:52 PM

Adds up fast too Mudcat.

I would tail you on this play, but I don't want to jinx you at all.

Good Luck with Canada today Baus.

BAUS · 11-11-07, 05:13 PM

Canada beat Netherlands 7-1.

I'm 4-0 so far on World Cup action. Now Pinnacle doesn't seem to be offering it anymore???

BAUS

bigboydan · 11-11-07, 05:28 PM

I knew I should have followed you on that one Baus.

Glad to see your doing so well on this event.

BAUS · 11-11-07, 05:30 PM

Thanks Bigboydan. Never mind what I said earlier....there are no games scheduled today. I hope Pinnacle continues to offer this event.

BAUS

BAUS · 11-15-07, 05:10 PM

Pinnacle didn't post lines on this for a couple days, but now they are up again. My picks for today are:

Japan +134 over Australia for $50. I have no idea how they can post Australia as the favorite, so this is an easy one.

Korea +520 over USA for $25. I'm banking on Korea starting some left-handed thumber tossing up the 78 mph slop and baffling the US hitters.

BAUS

bigboydan · 11-15-07, 07:36 PM

Looks like you got one hell of a price on Japan on this game Baus. I see it's currently +118 at Pinnacle.

BAUS · 11-16-07, 04:49 AM

Japan over Australia 3-0. This puts me at 5-0 on World Cup wagers so far. $218 profit.

If Korea can beat USA, this will have been a nice little experiment.

BAUS

bigboydan · 11-16-07, 12:47 PM

I knew I should have started tailing you a few games ago.

Congrats on your hot streak on these events Baus.

BAUS · 11-16-07, 03:08 PM

USA beat Korea 3-1. Oh well, it's not too late BBD. My next picks will be released soon.

BAUS

BAUS · 11-16-07, 07:59 PM

I am on: Mexico +276 over Australia, Korea +202 over Taipei, and Japan +316 over Cuba.

I figure 2 out of these 3 might win.

BAUS

BAUS · 11-17-07, 02:26 PM

Korea beat Taipei 3-0 for my only win. I lost the other 2 bets. I made $0.50 for my troubles.

At least you turned a profit Baus.

BAUS · 11-17-07, 05:01 PM

I am on Mexico +176, Japan -126, and Korea +250.

I'm considering laying a little more on Korea.

Cuba just went from -160 to -191 in about 2 minutes...they have won every World Cup since 1981...

It's now sitting at -204 right now Baus.

bigboydan · 11-18-07, 05:03 PM

I see that streak ended Baus. The U.S. defeated Cuba.

All 3 of these picks above cashed for me.

I ended up shying away from Cuba. Couldn't lay that much chalk. If I could have gotten in at -160 I would have, but the line moved too fast.
