Baseball wagering argument

[PoundFoolish]

You think the Dodgers are going to win tonight but you feel as though the Astros offer the better value. Who do you wager on? or do you pass?

 

[LENBO]

I see value in Astros first five. Between the heat and no DH I want no part of the Astros bullpen and will take my chances with Keuchel giving a solid five. They hit lefties well also.

 

[HarryCaray]

I like Houston for the series. I'm considering laying off this game and hoping for a Dodgers win and +230ish or whatever.

Problem is I kick myself if Houston pulls the game 1 upset and I might never see + money again

You think Houston offers better value for the series? Or tonight?

If you're saying tonight, you're saying you think Houston wins this game >40% of the time.

I'm confused by you saying you think the Dodgers are going to win but you think Houston wins >40%

Pretty close margins there...

I also think the Dodgers are going to win tonight, so even if Houston is the better value, I want to be on the side I think will win. I also like the under in the math-up of the aces. So I am on LA and the under.

Visiting teams have had value but Home teams have taken the money

But they still had value

Depends what you want value or money

I don't get this argument. If the line was -400/+340 or something I could see the point. At -170/+150 there's not much of a value argument separate from who you think is more likely to win the game.

a friend asked me this morning if I was on the game tonight and I said no, but that if I had to be, I would go with the Dodgers....he replied that he thinks the Dodgers are going to win tonight but then says Keuchel vs Kershaw matched up 100 times, there is value in the +160 range. I said I kind of understood where he is coming from, but we're not talking about 100 games, we are talking about tonight....it's tough because wise guys would say to get the value, no?

Just pointing out visiting teams are 8 out of 31 this year

Now you have no DH

Best home team Dodgers

Best road team Astros/Indians

Some people really shouldn't be gambling with actual money

hoping for a Dodgers win and +230ish or whatever.

Game 1 Winner Dodgers/Series Outcome: Astros Prop is available right now at +400 (DSI). Astros 4 games to 3 is +550, 4-2 +600, 4-1 +700

probably more lucrative lineage available to many of you

Guys really shouldn't be Posting with Holier Than Though Delusion of Grandeur Insanely Sad Mean Streak PLAGUING THEM Cursing Them with that desire to bring other people DOWN to their own level of desperate pathetic Misery.

Not like I care or anything, it's all good either way but PoundFoolish = KingEleven right?

And you should take the team that you think is the value. That's the whole point.

 

[exploited17]

Eh.....just bet Dodgers to win the series

 

[michael777]

no runs in the first inning is the play

talking about me or my friend? well certainly neither of us is a pro.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Wrong then I guess. You remind me of him and you got the whole two word name.

Wasn't a diss or anything, he was a good poster but haven't seen him lately. But he would start threads similar to this a lot.

 

[ML Dog]

KingEleven was Good People.

 

[ML Dog]

Dodgers 4 games to 3 is +400.

4-2 +350, 4-1 +500 and 4-0 +900
