How are the Dodgers a home 'dog to the Cubs tonight???
Is it me, or at +110 is that a Five-Star Grade A ML pick right there?!

Cubs definitely get the win tonight. Lose the series probably, but get the win tonight with Harden on the mound.

Everyone believes that the LAD cannot sweep the cubbies. My vote is for the sweep so I took them at +115 today. As a side note, I thought I bet the white sox in game one but apparently I took them for the series (doesn't matter since they lost game one), so now I am cheering for a Chicago team to win 3 straight and save me a bet. LOL

Ha ha, you are a glutton for punishment, TSoprano!!!
You are NOT on the Cubs again, are you? Kuroda dominated them twice, Harden has been wild plus his pitch speed has slowed recently, all the pressure is on the Cubs, the Dodgers are dialed in right now ---- what more could point toward them tonight?!
If you go Cubs tonight and lose, I want you to guarantee a new avatar for tomorrow!!

The hardest win is the last. That's why Dodgers are a dog.

I think the thinking is that, its tough for any team to sweep a series against a pretty darn good team like the cubbies..... prob more of a "cubs are due" kinda line... and a reflection on harden's reputation... problem is, dude rarely goes more then 6 innings...
will be interesting to see how cubs react to having their backs up against the wall here

Looks like a trap, and a pretty good-looking one at that.

the reason the cubs are fav tonight, is same reason why lakers were fav over celtics in series, and in almost every game.. the line is not based on what the real line is, but it is based on demand.. the oddsmakers know that the CUBS, like the lakers, are a public team.. they know that especially tonight, every square bettor and 90% of baseball bettors will think CUBS. .they will think NO WAY this team gets swept.. they are just too good. lots of cubbie fans out there. no one wants to cheer dodger blue tonight, everyone wants to cheer for cubbies..
not saying cubs will lose, but that line is based on what the books think public will bet. IF real line was CUBS +110, then why make it +110, when they can make it -115, and they know people will still bet CUBS..
that's why books make a ton of money off all the squares and why squares all go broke at the end. cause guys like venditto or richie, don't really know what a real accurate line is.. these squares will bet CUBS -285 with Zambano at home, at any price too, when the CUBS real line is probably CUBS -255.. how is the square supposed to know what the real line is? he just wants cubs, just like tonight..

Tsop, I'd be happy to do the 50 with you, I'm very confident in the Dodgers. But I don't know how it would work. Do you mean just honor system, loser mails the winner a check? That's it?
Anyway, I'm down for it and I'm honest, so just let me know how it works.
(Although for the record, I like rooting FOR my fellow SBFers, not goin' against them! )

Can be paid with a check/money order, paypal, western union, moneygram, etc.
If the cubs win, I get $50, if the dodgers win, you get $65.

Okay, wanna do paypal? I have an account there. And not to shortchange myself, but why would I get $65? That would be for a +130 bet, right? Dodgers are +115 in most places.

Put $65 to make it extremely fair so no odds can be disputed. Its like an extra few dollars, doesnt matter. Consider it a Tsoprano gift
Paypal should be ok if I lose, not 100% though. But the other methods are 100% good to go for me to pay with.

I can take paypal payments without a problem. If I lose its not 100% I can get funds in there to send. I only use it for ebay purchases here and there. The other methods I posted are definite ways I can send it out.
