So Someone explain why Houston is -260's Tonight ??

[Betallsports]

Don't get me wrong, I know the Reds are crap ... but should Houston really be -260 / -270 ??

 

[C.P.]

don't know, but if..

toothpick Dusty (scammer) was still there...

then yes...lay it...

I'll look more into this one...

I hate laying that much wood but sometimes it fit's the situation...ie

I'm on the Cubs...w/ Jake A...-255/100

IMO NO.

Houston should never ever be anywhere even close to -260

I rarely bet either team though save for TT Overs of Cincy opponents, Game Overs w/ Cincy.

Houston I can't even imagine betting a game involving them...they may as well not even exist as far as my betting mlb is concerned because I would never ever bet on them.

I did do well a few weeks back with TT Unders on them a few times but thats all, they scored well 2 games in a row IIRC or 2 of 3 games so I ran away.

Impossible for me to get far enough away from the Houston Astros or, for that matter, other AL Teams as well.

KC until they need to actually Play....comes to mind so...post all star break.

Cleveland Indians another team I would not bet even with your money. TB Rays that too.....My Win % with certain AL Teams is abysmal.

Betting ON or AGAINST them. Texas Rangers too. I hate the Texas rangers with every ounce of my being and feel that to a lesser degree for the entire American League pretty much. With the exception of the 1 or 2 teams that actually perform.

Red Sox.

Thus far.

Red Sox the only AL Team I bet without feeling like I just threw money down the toilet which when I bet on or against any AL Team proves to be the case about 66% of the time so the AL is near useless to me.

I saw that this AM...considered a Reds play but ultimately passed on it. Does seem out of whack a bit.

You don't think the Rangers perform? that would be crazy to say. All they do is hit and grind. They came back from 5-0 to beat the A's few games ago. A's suck, but still. I love that they get zero respect from Vegas. #nevereverquit :uzi:

 

[Bourn]

The Rangera are one of the few teams I feel good about when down by 2-3 runs and going into late innings. They play hard every game. No shit.

 

[Betallsports]

Yeah, just doesn't seem right at that price.
Not that I'm going to bet on cincy.
But might throw them in a chalky parlay for shit and giggles

 

[Bourn]

Lamb sucks balls. Houston won 8 of last 9 at home. Hou better pitcher and Cinci just lost 2 vs Atlanta. Hence the line

I WILL mess with AL Teams on the chalky parlay, yes or even unchalky but those are just entertainment plays of course so don't really count. Thats how I know my Success rate betting on or against the AL remains so abysmal.

Odd that Bourn says Lamb sucks cuz I thought that too so used The Lamb Fade twice in meaningless parlay and got beat both times, one of those times Lamb Fade the only play I lost on a 6 teamer

I recall this all so vividly because Lamb looks like such an Albino Freak and, having watched those games I used The Lamb Fade, the image of me losing to such an unusual looking guy (especially among MLB PItchers....now and EVER) seared my losses to him in my mind.

Lamb Involved?

No Play for me. Twice Bitten...

Trust completely that I feel you wholeheartedly and sheer numbers-wise there is no way I should feel as I do about Texas but its just the most Freakish thing that I can not get on the right side of this team to save my life.

42-25 Record, 326 Runs For, 278 against (or thereabouts) how the fuck do I manage to lose? Mind you many of those Losses we re FADING THEM which I did at the time for what I felt were good reasons...

I'm sure if I made them a "focus" I could get on the money train we've seen wit them this far but I do best focusing on 6 Core Teams, 10 teams total the latter 4 "outsiders trying to get in" to the core 6 I play on or against.

I totally grasp that my failure wagering on games involving Texas Rangers is due to my own malfunction and not theirs.

It sounds ridiculous I know but I am straight up Snakebit by TX Teams. Across the board.

And Yeah....to clarify: "They don't perform" I appreciate that is a completely ignorant fucking statement but made bcuz on several occasions I backed them they just straight out FAILED miserably which hurt especially bad bcuz I gave them a chance, knowing the Texas Curse I live with Daily...where betting is concerned.

So I should have typed "they have failed to perform when I needed them to" rather than the general dumb statement I chose.

Lol. It's all good.

 

[ML Dog]

Lol. It's all good.

We are the same person lol when it comes to the seriousness with which we take our losses.

We both don't generally make a play without damn good reasons to do that so when we lose we go off

I've actually gotten less intense about it...losing plays......if you can imagine that lol....cuz L3 years NFL has beat me into Submission.

Hard to believe I got less intense though, from some of these posts.

That was a really good play BAS. Great job dude.

I was explaining the line, but should have added that had all the makings for a Cinci win. Ultimately, you were right when you said Hou has no business as a -260 fav against anyone. Great job!

Thanks

Just couldn't believe that line for a team like that.
Don't get me wrong, Houston is a better team than Cincy ... But why should they be at that price !

 

[powerz]

Houston and Tampa Bay - Lines have been snakey for the last month - weird odds, strange line movement etc...I took the bait yesterday and played em -2 but have already sworn off Tampa may have to with Houston as well.

Last weekend when Houston was in Tampa the Dog won all games - Houston was favored twice in Tampa?

 

[5teamparlay]

ODD STAT-- Reds are 24-9 in the last 33 meetings in Houston. CMON NOW

Yeah that's a good one. I played Hou once this year with keuchel on mound and lost. That dude sure did go south.
