you don't EARN gambling money, you fucking WIN it

miami heat by 3! (spurs by 22)

fucking KC... Close game though, that's the way she goes sometimes. All good though because the Tigers were my largest bet of the night so I still wrangled in a modest amount of money.

Other sports fans feel free to post some picks too. I know theres usually a lot of general sports discussion, but not a whole lot concerning specific matchups.

Haha whaaat? That's crazy man, never heard of that before.

Verlanders been pretty shitty this year though

Detroit is beating a team missing 7 of their starters plus like 6 pitchers. Good gutsy pick!

I got the game at -135... Laying some juice for sure, but how could you not? Joe Saunders fucking sucks. I knew the Texas bats would torch him.

Detroit is now on a 6 game streak and 23-13 away.

Actually not a bad idea for a thread as long as we all acknowledge the thread starter is a fucking moron.

if Detroit wins against Martinez tonight it'll be an 8 game losing streak for Texas

Actually not a bad idea for a thread as long as we all acknowledge the thread starter is a fucking moron.

Hey man! that ain't cool... actually.... considering all of my shitty life choices and all of the mistakes I've made... Yeah, I guess morons an applicable term:dammit:;)

if Detroit wins against Martinez tonight it'll be an 8 game losing streak for Texas

Texas is shit right now. For some reason Vegas keeps giving them decent odds too. I wish I hit up the game last night. I don't like laying money on Porcello though, he's had a good year, but I'm just not that enthralled by his "stuff". I keep on expecting his wheels to fall off at some point.

Didn't have time to log on here today to post my picks, had a good day though: won some money on a Toronto/Cincinnati 2-team parlay.

I'll make sure I get some picks up here for tomorrow.

Are you a baseball fan Scotty? You seem to know your stuff.

Detroit is now on a 6 game streak and 23-13 away.

Detroits a damn good team. JD Martinez has been on FIRE for them. I can't believe the ASTRO's of all teams just let the guy go for nothing. Just brutal.

The Tigers really have to do something about that Bullpen though... Just fucking atrocious. I can't believe they signed Joe Nathan to be their closer for 20 million. The guys nearly 40 years old for crying out loud.

Hey guys, put some money down on these, and watch the game streaming online, makes for some solid entertainment, and it's hard-earned money that'll come your way. Fuzzman guaranteed.

Lay the juice with Oakland Athletics winning against the Miami Marlins at -148. It's a hefty price, But Oaklands just such a great team. They can pick apart the best pitchers in the game, Descalfini (the Marlins starting pitcher) is young and promising, but he's going to get picked apart. On the other side of the spectrum the Oakland A's have Jesse Chavez toeing the rubber... Sabermetric stats LOVE this guy, and it's why Billy Beane picked him up off of the scrap heap and gave him a chance, now he's excelling. Miami is a weak offensive team, and their bullpen is going to be tired. Register with 5dimes.com, lay some money on the A's and thank me later ;)

For any of the non-usa citizens out there I recommend you sign up with pinnaclesports.com

Way better, but they don't allow any Yankees on their site.

anybody watch last night's game? Detroit 6-0. Porcello shut out Texas with a three hitter. Cabrera had 4 hits! Detroit streak at 7 games.




Definitely a fun team to watch right now. I gotta get some tickets and get over to Detroit for a game before the summer's over.






edit because spelling and CAIC

Are you a baseball fan Scotty? You seem to know your stuff.

Not a hardcore fan. I occasionally follow the Tigers. I grew up going to games at the old Stadium. My parents and siblings are huge fans though. If I don't know what's going on with the Tigers there's not much to talk to them about.

I care a lot more about hockey. I have season tickets to the local AHL team.

Their -148 on the road? dayummm...you make a good case for the bet but I like similar angles on underdogs (of course).

The price has moved up even more: -162 for Oakland. If you guys want better value you should lay a runline bet... Meaning that Oakland wins by 2 or more. I don't think that'll be a problem, and I have some money on that as well.

If you're looking for a dog, consider taking the White Sox, the Blue Jays are shit against left-handed pitching and their line-up is fucking BRUTAL today. Dickeys good, and the White Sox kinda suck, but I think they pull this one out today.

Already mortgaged my house to lay down all my money on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl.

Kiss yer house goodbye!

FUZZTIP: "Miami Heat by 3! Game is fixed! Money in the bank!"

<img src="http://www.pageqsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Dwyane-wade-Sad.jpg">

Even the best of the business get er wrong now and again.

So far my picks look good as gold again tonight. Oaklands up by 4 in the bottom of the 6th and Chicago is beating the Blue Jays 5-2 in the top of the 7th.

I hate to sound cocky, but I'm the real deal. I've been making some nice money from this shit. I'm only trying to help you guys out.

Eekk Oaklands now in some trouble. Up 4-1 with marlins on first and 3rd with noone out.

Come on A's!

sorry i don't really want to pick up an addiction, thanks

good luck with that btw

fucking A's.... I think I'm gonna be sick... Give up a 5 spot in an inning to the Marlins....

Nice to see Reddick tie it back up again with a 2 out triple though. Hopefully these fucks can pull thru for the Fuzz-man.

Jesus, everytime I post here, terrible things happen in the game. Netphorias a jinx!

i seriously never get tired of that dwayne wade pic

Well, Oakland ends up winning and by more than 2... So both of those predictions are bang on the money. And my underdog pick of the Chicago White Sox also paid off handsomely.

$$$ in the bank, boys.

new rule: fuzzy never gets to talk about sports gambling. ever. again.

I'll keep it to this thread, but you guys will see that I consistently hit well above 60 percent on a consistent basis. You guys should jump aboard the bandwagon and win some money with me.

i'm getting a silent1 vibe from this guy. anyone else?

silent1, famous for being the best at guitar hero on xbox live

we're missing out on this incredible opportunity to make money bro

i just want to say that the fact that you were so wrong about the heat is pretty sweet, the fact that it was my lifelong favorite team that beat the everloving shit out of them just makes it so much sweeter

well then, have you rode the Giants june swoon since Pagan went down? Until he and Belt come back and the GM gets a MLB caliber 2nd basemen for them, the G's are something of a sinking ship.

You know what's a sign that you're going overboard with gambling?

When you want to drag other people into it.
(Even worse, complete strangers on an unrelated messageboard.)

They will listen to you, you should jump aboard the bandwagon.

he hasn't asked for a dime , he states his case fairly well and if he can clip at 60% or anywhere near that, you'll do much better than walking into the timebomb of the current stock market, your 401k or pension plan.

the problem with people who gamble on sports is that their picks are actually worse than flipping a coin

except for the many low-key guys who make a living at it. there is a formula. its not for everyone certainly, but it can be had. part of the secret is committing to the aggregate and not chasing bad beats.

every degenerate gambler has a "formula"

so does every degenerate hedge fund manager.

the difference is the hedge fund manager is the house, not the gambler

Yeah I've won a few bets lately by betting against them. They're definitely struggling. And what the hell happened to Matt Cain? Guys seemingly lost it.

I actually have some money on the Reds today, so I hope the Giants woes continue.

Usually, these are usually the squares who pick the favorites all of the time. I don't have a problem with betting on faves in baseball or hockey, but if you that with NFL, NBA, NCAAB or NCAAF you'll get destroyed.

Yeah, that's ultimately the level that I wanna reach. I've been doing this for about 4 years, and I've lost a lot of money doing it, but I've gotten consistently better after putting in a lot of time and effort into it. I'm really now at a level where I've been earning some extra income very consistently.

the difference is the hedge fund manager is the house, not the gambler

I don't really consider it gambling when you know the leagues inside and out and can spot the "sure things'. Of course nothing is for sure, but you know theres always those games that come along where you light up with certainty and they usually hit about 8 or 9 times outta 10.

I consider gambling to be playing roulette or slot machines where you literally have no logical idea of the outcome.

the difference is the hedge fund manager is the house, not the gambler



and when the hedge fund is the Fed and the house money is the dollar which they force others to use at the point of a gun, then you have the biggest degenerates of them all.

I think Cain has been nursing some soreness for much of the season. There was the infamous knife-cutting while making a sandwich excuse to the D.L. earlier this year. I always smell a rat with those but I guess it was legit because he was seen with a bandaid on after all.


anyway, tonight he shows up. but the offense is nondescript without Pagan. Take a look at their record with and without him in the lineup from last year and now this season, its eye popping.

and Romo hangs a slider to Phillips in the 9th and its 2-1 Reds. there's the aggregate I was talking about (without Pagan). game aint over yet officially, but, G's are in big trouble and its more than just recently and tonight, its going forward too.

I don't really consider it gambling when you know the leagues inside and out

O RLY?

<img src="https://espngrantland.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/wade-sad-2.gif">

AND NO, I WILL NEVER LET THAT GO

IS BECAUSE IT'S VERY NEARLY THE BEST THING EVER

THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE IF IT WAS KOBE

i mean the very best part is the fact that the spurs are up by 23 right there, the series is not exactly over, but he already quit on it, completely quit. like a piece of shit.

the piece of shit he was destined to be when his athleticism left him

in the next game, ginobili, five years wade's senior, dunked on bosh & basically the whole team

<img src="http://giant.gfycat.com/BlandRadiantAfricancivet.gif">

because dwayne wade is an overrated piece of shit who can't shoot so now he's fucked

like here the spurs are only up by 7 in the first half and at that moment I KNEW THE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS OURS

GINOBS JUST DUNKED ON YOU PIECES OF SHIT

that's exactly what a degenerate gambler would say.

I'm kinda with scotty on this one. Gambling is gambling. Your odds might be better than playing machines but it's still gambling.

How much money do you put in and what kind of profit do you make yearly? Without bullshitting.

You gotta a 401k or a pension lined up? Just wait till the real degenerates of the world Cypress/Greece your ass with those. You might wish you had taken up the statistical challenge betting on sports, at least you have some control.

obuma is taking all our money we have no choice but to gamble all of it on sports games thanks a lot obama obamacare

Last year I only raked in about a 1000 profit... Not so good, but this year I've already made about 3500. I usually just deposit a couple hundred at a time, but I haven't had to in quite awhile.

With that said, I also have another "Fuzzman winner" for you guys tonight.

Pick the Cleveland Indians over the LA Dodgers. Trust me on this one guys:love:

I should admit, that when I first started off with this shit I lost quite a bit of money, fucking sucked, But I feel like I've finally got good enough to start taking this shit seriously. I've been working hard at it for about 5 years.

make sure you bet with gold

I would be up around 5000 for the year, but I got hit fucking hard during the NBA playoffs, oh well, the way she goes.

make sure you bet with gold

Gold is a fantastic investment, especially when you consider the corrupt economy

but anyways, Pick the Indians tonight guys. Do yourselves a favor and earn yourselves some money.

are you starting to listen to alex jones too

I can dig Alex Jones. I used to listen to him while I was younger. Haven't really had the time to listen lately. I find the guy too exhausting.

I see Shallowed making fun of chem-trails. That shits 100 percent going on, You only have to study your skies to realize this. Normal contrails don't go on to spread into a hazy fog that "conveniently" covers the sun all day.

Anyways, gotta roll boys.

Hope you follow my lead on my play tonight.

okay bro

All investment comes with risk. 401k's are tied to the stock market and there isn't anybody that doesn't understand the NYSE et. al. isn't gambling, unless there an economic tard like yourself.

i got a system. I'm way ahead because of it. except when I lose shit tons of money. but I don't count that against myself. after all somebody's got to win.

the problem with degenerate gamblers is they're all flowers and sunshine when they're winning. but you don't hear shit from them when they owe their bookie $5k and their betting on credit

#degenerategambler

Well i noticed the mention of losing a lot the first few years...the question of course is have these losses been made up for?

:rolleyes:

Damn, another loss. I think I'm 4-2 with my picks here. Respectable. I realize that a loss is a loss anyway you crack it, but my 2 losing picks here both lost by only 1 run. It's no consolation, but it atleast shows me that I'm on the right track. If I make a wager and I get blown out then it's always a little disconcerting.

Making fun?

I don't know what you're talking about. Look at that pentagram shape, it's obviously the work of Satan.

I'm fully convinced that chemtrails are taking place... Atleast here in North America. But I'm not so cynical as to believe that the purpose behind them is to slowly kill us all. I think that the Governments spraying to reflect the sun back at itself in an attempt to stop global warming. Of course they couldn't just come out and outright admit this to the public because all of the fanatical religious people would be up in arms.

I'm typically against it anyways though, I just believe that you can't really know the repercussions that may result in doing this.

It's already a known fact in Germany that they are indeed manipulating the climate with chemtrails

i went to the casino for the first time in a long time last night to play blackjack. blew $100, took out $60 more then blew that. then decided i should take out $200 more and head to the high rollers table to make it back. Got down to $50 within a couple minutes than rebounded up to $375 then got the fuck out of there. never so happy to win $15 at the casino in my life. back in the day i could blow three or four hundred bucks at the casino and not give a shit, but these days i have a mortgage and shit, and really can't afford that nonsense. hopefully i don't end up back there in a long time.

wow. fuzzy and TOC get a room.

Yeah dude, stay away from the Casino. I've had some bad moments there. If I do go there to see a show or something, I'll bring a certain amount of money for drinks or whatever, and a little bit to gamble with while leaving my credit/debit cards at home. That way I can have some fun, and if I lose the money I'm comfortable with losing, I can leave without having urges to "make it back"

Anyways I have some plays for you guys today

TB RAYS

CIN REDS

BAL ORIOLES

wow. fuzzy and TOC get a room.

TOC's a smart guy, Very educated. I think you guys just get annoyed with him because he's always beating his drum loud and passionately while you guys just don't care to hear it.

I mean, I understand it, we're all just here for some mild entertainment and whatnot, so It makes sense that people aren't all that interested in discussing the fundamental issues amongst the world all of the time.

I don't get casinos or why people go to them.

Once i was at a casino with a friend (i didnt play anything) to go pick up someone there. And he decided to just have a go at one machine for like 10 minutes. Put like 5 bucks in. I convinced him that as soon as he's won anything, he should quit. He did, he made 12 bucks. If everyone did that, casinos would be out of business. You'll almost ALWAYS win at first, but casinos know that real gamblers will want to go for more and then they'll lose it all. Don't be that guy. Get out ahead, screw them over. I'd say at least as soon as you made 50% of what you put in, get out. and if nothing else, ALWAYS have a set amount you'll spend in mind, at least.

Just losing 10 bucks to me is a tragedy. I lost a 20 some time late last year that i had just taken out and i couldn't get over it for hours. Not gonna get into the time i lost a 1000 cash.......like lost lost (who fucking does thaT? this guy right here..) That took more like a month to get over.

No see that is NOT the issue...........


there's talking about REAL FUNDAMENTAL political issues and pulling shit out of your ass (or having other people pull them out of their asses and then latch on to them)

Yeah dude, stay away from the Casino. I've had some bad moments there.

And THAT makes you 100% a gambler. The fact that you CANT be in a casino and trust yourself NOT to gamble AT ALL. Normal people don't have that problem.

Its like and idiot circle jerk in here

And THAT makes you 100% a gambler. The fact that you CANT be in a casino and trust yourself NOT to gamble AT ALL. Normal people don't have that problem.

Yeah, no doubt, you have a point. But, I stay away from the stupid shit now. I only wager on what I have a great idea about, and It's been paying off for a couple of years now. I went 2-1 again today, on games that paid off nicely. Theres an art to it. I think once you know the league and games so well that it's pretty hard not to make a profit. But hey, Vegas makes it's money off squares. Gotta love the squares, keeps these sites in business in order for me to profit from them.

Its like and idiot circle jerk in here

Yeah Scotty, and you're the cherry on the pie

That's a great point. But when people go to Casinos, they usually have to make a trip down there, and they wanna have some fun for awhile. Going in and making like 10 bucks and just heading home 5 minutes later would be a pain in the ass. To your credit: less of a pain in the ass than losing a bunch of money. I guess it's just the thrill of it all that people enjoy.

No

if everybody went into a casino and spent 5 minutes playing a slot and stopped, the casino would make as much money as they always make. Because the machine is rigged to take in more than it pays out. One person wins $10, three others lose $10. you don't "always win at first".

do they put cherries on pies in fucking canadia or what, that idiom doesn't exist what the fuck fuzzy

it's a cherry on top

Well I have to claim lack of experience but one of my mom's shit ex bf was a gambler thst was recovering for a while and he said that at some point almost always he was ahead. Maybe by 2$ maybe by 10$. Maybe by 50$. But he claimed there was rarely a night gambling on machines he wasn't after a while at some point ahead, or at least back to where he started, but it was never ahead enough. He didn't want to go home with ten bucks more than he had when he came in. It had to be worth it. tht's what he said anyway...

He was a liar. Other than counting cards there's no way lessen the houses advantage. Especially when gambling on a slot machine.

Do you do this dance every day on the Dow?

O.K. sure, but there's no fundamental difference between that and hedge fund assholes and their bogus collateral driving housing bubbles worldwide. Oh wait, the difference is the banksters are way way way fucking worse and degenerate.

There was a tipping point a few years back when the ruling class money changers saw the likes of Pokerstars.net and other sites essentially running de-facto banks and were reaping the lifestyle of bankers all the while many people were making a living playing poker and able to stash their money in the websites. There was no problem with access to cash for anyone until the Feds stepped in and shut it all down.

Some excuse about not having enough in deposits to pay out should a run occur. Rather cheeky of big guv to move in like that considering the Trillions we're in debt because of these ruling elite money changers.


but go ahead, just view the guy at the card house as the degenerate if that suits your morality. I'm guessing you don't want to look at the real degenerate gamblers of the world since they have you and your 401k by the balls.

poker is actually very different than what we're talking about here

there's no "World Series of Slots"
"World Series of Roulette"
"World Series of Blackjack" (maybe?)

Wonder if there's a "World Series of Craps" though, because that one you can, like poker, play strategy on the odds and make consistent bank

Yeah poker is not REALLY gambling. Well ok, it is if you're an amateur, the average person when playing poker is just gambling, because they only rely on the luck of the cards because they don't know how to bluff how to read cards and all that.

And erm...nobody brought up the government into this anyway.

I don't know how it works in the states but here in Quebec all gambling is run by the government anyway. Casinos, slots in bars, all lottery/scratch tickets whatever, it's all run by the state. As well it should. Well I think there's the natives casinos which aren't run by the state.

it's still a risk of course, but it's like any game. a good strategy and practice and knowledge can go along way to make you actually consistently good at it and even a professional

Pagan had a setback in his rehab and is in Arizona seeing a back specialist. buzz is he may need surgery that will end his year (and the Giants too unless they can replace him). In the meantime, if you're the betting type, load up against the Giants for now (5-15 the last 3 weeks).

atm, Cards 2-0 over the Giants and their two hits through six innings.

I don't get casinos or why people go to them.

to have that thing you never have, fun

give me some nba tips, can't trust fuzz because of the following

to have that thing you never have, fun

come on...losing money is fun?


that's like the opposite of fun right there.


I'll agree I don't find enough things fun (my gf says I'm anhedonic but clearly that's pushing it) but I don't think Casinos should be something anyone is expected to find fun.

TOC's a smart guy, Very educated. I think you guys just get annoyed with him because he's always beating his drum loud and passionately while you guys just don't care to hear it.


TOC's incessant ranting has an accuracy rate on par with your gambling predictions. I personally don't have time to read things that are comprised of over 50% delusional bullshit

Unfortunately it seems I do.

Though the novelty has already worn off.

i mean it's basically the same as anything else when you get down to it

you lost money going to a concert
you lost money going to a sportsball match

i mean what's the difference if you lost money/won money at a casino? you don't have to gamble your entire savings to have a good time.

casinos are an amusement park for drunks.

True I guess.

Note that I also don't go to concerts or sports events.


but i still feel they're less a waste of money.


Of course between going to a casino and going to a bar to get wasted... not sure what is the biggest money sink.


Probably deep down I feel the only real justified way of using money is to eat, pay rent and electricity. Not because they're fun, just cause they're a necessity (well eating can be fun) Everytime I spend money on anything else I pretty much feel guilt. Or if I spend too much on food I don't really need.

i'm pretty proud of "casinos are an amusement park for drunks" bit tbh

It's the truth, if you go out for the evening, have a blast at a Casino on a Friday night, enjoy the entertainment, have some drinks, it's not that bad if you go away losing like 80 bucks because you had a good time for the night.

It can be a slippery slope sometimes though

Anyways, as record stands now I'm at 6-3 with my baseball picks.

I have a play tonight for everyone. It's Pittsburgh Pirates RL (meaning they'll win by 2 or more runs) Will pay off nicely.

outlaw baseball!

why don't you bet on these retarded champions league qualifiers? i bet the team from gibraltar will lose to the fucking team from iceland

I don't know jack-shit about soccer. Although I won a nice chunk of change betting blindly on Columbia to beat Japan in the world cup. Just figured that the Columbians had to be better at soccer than the Japanese.

i fucking hate baseball so much

if i bet on baseball that would mean i'd have to follow it and that is something i will not do



If I were to bet on it it'd be the Giants and since that's my team (as well as the A's) there's just no way. But I've been following them since childhood and I can pretty much guess how things go with them.


so fuzzy, in the aggregate, so long as Pagan is out, they're not even playing .400 baseball without him over a large sample size.


32-54 in 2013

4-12 this year.


that aggregate is here and now. (p.s. this is also why WAR is a meaningless stat)

i am from central texas. i will never, ever, root for anything from houston or dallas. it's why i'm a NY giants fan. it's why i'm rabid about LOS SPURS (GO SPURS) and it's why IDGAF about baseball

well other reason IDGAF about baseball is because it's FUCKING BORING and it's FOR OLD PEOPLE and it COASTS ON NOSTALGIA and it SUCKS and every fucking TWO YEARS there's a NEW PITCHER that everyone's talking about how GREAT he is and then he blows his arm out or fucks up or whatever and he's on the scrap heap like all the other Josh Beckett pitchers that have been fucking ruined over the past 15 years. Shit, like Lincenum? what the fuck happened to that stoner? Why can't any of these guys be good for more than two years??? what kind of idiot sport is this?

i mean seriously these guys get hurt so fucking bad in a non contact sport. what is the fucking point of it

i mean am i wrong? i feel the turnover rate these days for "stars" in baseball is like 2-3 years at most

Lincecum is just a freak, good or bad. That's part of the reason they got Tim Hudson, to mentor him a bit on how to pitch. Timmay went from 96-97 mph fastballs to 90-92 and is still trying to figure it out. Even though his ERA has skyrocketed the last two years, his K's to innings pitch stayed just about the same. He still has swing and miss stuff.

He's always healthy though, doesn't miss starts and he just followed up his no-hitter with 8 shutout innings against the Cards. Longest runless streak of his career, which is kind of a head scratcher, but that's him.

i mean am i wrong? i feel the turnover rate these days for "stars" in baseball is like 2-3 years at most

well, if the standard is beyond that amount of time, there's still enough stars to be had, but I get the general thought of the turnover rate. Maybe that's a condition of the constant hype machine put on prospects these days, that wasn't around before.


guys like Cabrera and Tulowitski have been pretty good for awhile now... But yeah, I don't know how many Derek Jeter's there's gonna be anymore.

You gotta check out this kid Mike Trout on the LA Angels. The kids an absolute beast, 5-tool player. Best player in the game and he's only 22. I think he's going to have a long career.

You have a point about the starting pitchers though. Any of these new phenoms that throw in the upper 90's are all throwing their arms out. It's a big problem. But theres still a tremendous amount of good pitchers who haven't gone under the knife yet, guys like Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Yu Darvish etc.

The injury thing doesn't apply to position players though. Sure they'll get injured and what not, but not at the serious extent that pitchers do.

Baseballs a great game, it's a shame you don't like it. You should bet like 10 dollars a game, just to simply get you into the outcome and you'll probably find that you really enjoy watching it. Each at-bat is a total chess match and theres so many fundamentals going on with every play and pitch. It's a heckuva game.

Heh didn't realize A-rod was so close either. It explains a lot as to why he's so desperate to keep trucking on for another year when he's already amassed an INSANE amount of money. Guy just wants to reach the elusive 3000 mark.

mike trout will be left for dead by the time he's 30

remember that dude poo holes

fuck baseball go spurs

Shit, like Lincenum? what the fuck happened to that stoner?

fuzzy? you taking my advice and loading up against the G's right?


today:

Padres 2 Giants 0. grand total of 4 hits. Cain the unlucky starter today.

has anyone won any money?

yes, on a bi weekly basis as a result of a foolproof system i devised and have nicknamed "working".

You dont win money you earn it

you don't EARN gambling money, you fucking WIN it

nah dude

edit: not nah to you, trots. gambling is all about WINNING

i don't gamble

Therefore you dont win money

I don't. ;_; but gamblers do on occasion.

Pujols was great, but he came from the *******an and his birth-certificate claims that he's actually 3-4 years younger than he actually is. You can never trust birth-certificates from that region o the World.

That's why I love baseball. It's the only sport where a total fat-ass can succeed in athletics.

I think total fatasses should not be able to succeed in anything. There has to be consequences to their lack of self control. Gluttony is a sin after all.

I hear ya, I have little empathy with people who are decidedly, grossly unhealthy, but you have to appreciate the overall opportunity.

I mean, baseball has all kinds of different nationalities, different weight classes. You see all kinds of folk. Not like Football and Ice-hockey and shit.

american football has a lot of variety

best sports for short people are baseball and soccer

I don't think short people should get to succeed at anything. They lost at genetic lottery. there has to be consequences for that.

with Belt back and Pence now leading off, it seems the Gmen have stemmed the tide of .350 baseball for now. 4 gamer against the A's starting tomorrow, 2 in each park. series is 50-46 in favor of Oakland. they often split series. This is probably the most important one they've ever had though.

Perhaps worth betting the dog each game with juice money if you got it, but I wouldn't blame a guy for riding the A's and hope they take at least 3. too bad Samardzija and Lincecum won't sqare off (they each pitched well today).

Shark was a beast, watched that game, made some money on it. I think Athletics go all of the way this year. They're just such a gritty, solid team

Whatta ya think about San Frans chances tomorrow TOC? I personally don't have much respect for Vogalsongs "stuff". The A's should be able to pick him apart. But the A's are at -150 right now and Chavez has seemingly come back down to earth and his been roughed up during his last 2 starts... I'm considering laying some money on the A's.

without reading this thread, because i don't want to - has any money been won here?

That's why I mentioned going with the Dog each game. I would think the G's would still be favored at home once they get there (1st two in Oakland).


Vogie and Lincecum have turned it around recently. Vogelsong always battles, but I can see a pen dominated game because of how the A's take AB's (emphasis on raising pitch counts).

at that point, it tilts to the A's. G's pen has been shaky recently (Romo demoted from Closer role) after being the best pen going first 2 months.

sorry so late, 5 min. before game time.


with that run differential, everyone has woken up to the A's this year. thing about the Giants is that this team resembles the two teams that won it all recently. They either play near-perfect ball and look like world beaters, or they can't do shit and lose a 9 1/2 game lead in 3 weeks.

I'm kinda wondering which G's team shows up tonight. I'd bet on the former because of the rivalry, but that doesn't mean they get over on them. I'm guessing 5-4 A's tonight.


but the betting route I would take would be the Dogs with 'house money', or roll with the A's each game. thats a little dangerous because the I think the Giants bottomed out a few games ago and this series may be what they need to play well again.

5-0 A's


I'd forgotten one of our beloved fatties Pablo Sandoval has been out the last two games. Basically nullifies Belt's return as the G's have a weak hitting bench. Vogie pitched well, but the A's did plug away at the relievers.

with Pablo out, the play is A's this series. Even if he comes back, the Pagan factor still in effect.

and fuzzy, one of the clues to the G's playing well this series is defense and specifically Brandon Crawford. He can play brilliantly for stretches and then...two bad throwing errors tonight, trying to do too much. not a good sign. He often lifts the team with great D, so when its going the other way...blah.

Got a sure thing winner tonight!

As it stands now, the games at even money... Hilarious.

I've been studying a lot of sabremetric analysis lately and the advanced metrics point to an easy Cleveland win.

Cheers

i've been studying a lot of sybramotic hypocallipethic analysis lately and you're a retard. cheers.

Quit trolling my threads all of the time. And for the matter, cut it out with the disgusting rep comments... I don't wanna look at that shit

Sabermetrics are a form of advanced statistics in baseball. They're the statistics that the movie "Moneyball" was based off of.

Believe it or not, that data and analysis is still very largely ignored by the majority of baseball fans and bettors.

No it's not, you bumbling fool.

Sure is. Billy Beane and those Oakland teams are were the pioneers of using advanced statistics to their benefit

He judged his players on a sabermetric level as opposed to the traditional stats that everyone was consumed with.

He has to be trolling, it just can't be real. I mean for fucks sake he is actually getting dumber and more illogical.

Sure is. Billy Beane and those Oakland teams are were the pioneers of using advanced statistics to their benefit

Bill James was using the same stats in Boston in the 1980s. Oakland isn't even using the newest statistical approaches now.

A lot of the new stats are too slanted in a vacuum, viewing the players as single entities in a team game. Not to say they can't be useful, but WAR in particular is overrated.

The good teams have organizational philosophies that they teach players from Rookie ball to the Majors. The A's have led the trend of hitters running deep counts to raise pitch counts and thus get to the bullpens earlier in games. That's where the aggregate totals in numbers like their video-gamish run differential come from.

Stats are always an outgrowth of something else, not the leading indicator of what a player can do necessarily. Billy Brad Beane Pitt combines the statistical number on a player who can be coached up. Many of his castoff pickups work because he understands how to get guys who have nothing to lose and are willing to listen to their philosophy, with the bonus that in the numbers he does look for hitters that already fit. They just get plugged in to their way of going about it and presto, a shitload of wins year over year on a budget.
