Baseball Season

[Longy]

Yankees to beat the Angels.... I rushed in thinking I was betting on the phillies not looking at anything and low and behold i've gone and lumped on the bloody yankees to beat the Angels.... any comfort in this horrible horrible msitake??

+1

Betting on the yankees is rarely a massive mistake, the Man Utd of baseball. Currently 2-1 up.

Know this is a bit after the Lord Mayors show BUT I cannot let this statement go without challenging it.  I ran one fo the bigger US facing sportsbooks for three years and in that period the yankees will have played 500+ games and I can count on one hand the number of times the book needed the Yankees to win.  They are easily the most overbet team in  USA professional sports and everyone that makes a line knows it and in many cases shades the line further than it should be.  They are up there with Man Utd, England and the lakers in terms of teams that, if I make them value on my own odds line I will look again to see what I have missed and even if i can;t see anything I would be reluctant to bet on.

Ha it was a bit a throw away statement, as encouragement not that I can remember making it.

Anyway I watched last nights game, really tense affair Rangers against the Giants must be massive odds against to be the World Series earlier in the year or one of the more unlikely pairing at the start of the playoffs

Yes Giants had a real good surge at the end of the season and had to win the last game of the regular season to clinch the division. Been underdogs vs each team so far and expect the same in the world-series. was tempted to head over for a game but I simply cannot afford it!

had to win last game of the season only because we'd blown the first two chances. We played division rivals padres over the last 3 games with a 3 game lead so could have easily sewn it up before last game. We were favourites against the braves, especially with home field advantage - yes we were underdogs against the phillys but i think we are slight favourites over the rangers with better starting pitching line-up and bullpen

bad start and took 4.6 on the giants, level now in the 3rd.

[Acidmouse]

I love baseball, yesterday the Giants created history coming from two games down in a best of five series to win. A grand slam by Buster Posey sealed the amazing comeback lets just hope the Yankee's get done tonight in the final game of their series.

SF Gaints back from the dead.

Another back to back wins and its all down to the final game tonight to see who goes to the World series.

Caine is ABEL!

Another remarkable comeback, sf giants in the World Series after needing to win 3 on the bounce.

2-0 up for SF Giants, peaking at the right time, 2 more wins pls.
