Gambling on the Little League World Series

[Defying]

I was curious what you degenerate gamblers thought on betting on the Little League World Series....

I have seen very few things that you can bet on that has bothered me. The most recent was a prop bet when Obama first got elected on whether he would make it through his first term. (I am Assuming it was a bet on avoiding impeachment and assassination ) Thought that was a little messed up. Please no political discussion here....

But I remember last year I started to see that you could bet on the LLWS. I am originally from Williamsport, PA where the LLWS are held. I played in the "Original" Little League League. It is a very sacred event to me.

What happens if one of these kids fathers really is a sh8t hole of a parent and tries to get their kid to throw the game? Or maybe puts more pressure on him to win... Doesn't it cross a line being that they are kids....

However, as I was watching the regional games the past week, I was finding myself trying to handicap these teams... I dont think I would ever bet on it because how sacred I find it, but is crazy that you can, isn't it?

At most books you can't get action over a couple hundread bucks so whats the big deal?

I have trouble wagering on 12 year olds.
It just doesn't feel right, kind of dirty.
Another this is, how do you 'cap these games, you have no idea who is who, or what is what.
Lastly, there is that ridiclulous juice books charge.
I'd rather wager on Norwegian handball.

I really thought this would be a 50-50 split... i underestimated how many degenerates there really are =)

 

[earl]

the way the question is worded, its an easy yes. hell you can gamble on damn near anything you want this day and age.

 

[SayHeyKid]

Sure...why not?

I don't bet on it personally, but gambling itself is not wrong. What's wrong is when degenerates who essentially donate money to books and bookies complain and threaten and cuss out players/coaches/teams when they don't perform.

 

[letsgohoosiers]

I don't want anyone telling me what I can and cannot bet on.

Especially since I take the emotion out of gambling and bet solely based on numbers given out by certain books and line movements.

gambling on little league doesnt feel right for me personally, but after a losing streak and a few beers dont underestimate degens

If you knew how many of these Little Leauge Admins there were making 6 figures and how many hypocrites are invovled in it. How much politics and burecrats there are, and what a right wing organization Little leauge is.

I wonder how much these talking head morons like Orel Hershiser and Kyle Peterson make. How about Erin Andrews all touchy with the kids.

Hawaii got moved into the WEST so ESPN would never have another CA-HW final. They want an EAST-WEST ABC final.

Little Leauge is big buisness. They are pimping themselves off to ESPN, if its on tv its fair game. You think Danny Almonte gets drafted in the 7th round if he wasnt on espn? HELL NO.

President of little leauge is a major leauge ASSHOLE making close to a MIL a year.

You want winners? Take the Staten Island team in the LLWS.

All those kids are teenagers playing against 11-12 year olds.

They haven't lost yet. They should cruise through the LLWS.

Can anyone point me to a bracket for the LLWS?

[barman]

Thanks for the link, but I don't see updated brackets for the 16 teams that will be in WS

Wanted to see if my friend's team from Des Moines advanced on Saturday. Where could I see results from Saturday?

EDIT....I found it..thanks

His kid actually plays for "Urbandale" and they won their region on Saturday

If some fishy things happen with that team, I know who is behind it! :lol:

10-2 winner in game 1.

Back this team if you have no morals and want to bet on the LLWS.
