I sure dislike betting on shitty teams. And the Cubs are a shitty team.
BTW-Hook, did you by chance take a look at the 2nd bet on Boston if they lose the 1st game. If betting 100.00, you would have had to lay over a dime to get back the original 100.00. Holy S. I had the 1st game -2.90.
You bring up two great points:
Careful with teams that have high juice. It can sure make for an expensive chase if it goes to the last game of the series. You can do one of three things here: (1) play -1 to lessen the juice, but you are susceptible to the push, or (2) play a less amount than usual, or (3) skip the series and not chance it.
Also, it's hard chasing crappy teams. If you don't feel comfortable, then just skip these as well.
Essentially, it's not a bad idea to use some discretion in making these plays.
