Sports betting chatter
Sites need the scrutiny, and the politicians are untouchable for their role. This thread doesn't need a Cassandra. She got ignored anyway you know.Quote: lilredroosterQuote: odiousgambitGoing to this thread and slamming us with that kind of article?
you seem to take it personally
it was an article about sports betting from CBS - a generally respected news outlet
was I suppose to worry that you might be offended by the article - ?
how could I predict that - ?
and remember when you posted this - ?Quote: odiousgambitReporting on that though is irresistible. And I did say that business deserves the scrutiny.
and this - ?Quote: odiousgambitAnother thing to remember is that the politicians spreading all this new gambling don't get the scrutiny. These various gambling outfits though, they better keep their noses clean or good ol' NYT will have their ass

I have already stated that I wasn't predicting anything for anybody here - that as far as I know everyone here gambles responsibly
but you continue with the name calling

Yes. In general, I think making drugs illegal just puts their use and distribution in the hands of bad people who do many bad things. It doesn’t stop the use of those drugs.
Individual responsibility.
You want to compare the cost to society of cigarettes and booze versus cocaine? Good luck with that.
In the same vein, I’m betting UNDER 17.5 outs for Cole tonight. The Yankees have clinched their exact playoff seeding. I think they take him out after 5 innings regardless of how he is pitching, game score, etc…
I’m fooling myself? into thinking it’s a markedly +EV bet.
Quote: SOOPOOBack to sports betting….. Yesterday nationally televised Fever-Lynx game. Clark versus Miles. Except Miles out with an ‘injury’ not known until some hours before the game. The Lynx coach then barely plays her starters in essentially a forfeit. I wonder if the coach’s cousin bet the unders for her ‘starters’? (I DO NOT believe there was a true gambling motivation).

That's charitable about the Lynx- I think that league is dirty as hell and where betting is concerned I do not recognize any difference between looking like you are throwing a game and throwing a game.
As far as Cole, remember he is coming off Tommy John for just a couple of months so is likely still building up his arm strength. I think if they wanted to rest him he wouldn't be pitching at all, so this will be just a normal start and he has no more starts left in the regular season, and an extra day's rest for the 3-game.

You were correct in your analysis, but I was lucky and won the bet. They let him pitch 105 pitches, but pulled him after 17 outs!
Today I got the ‘up 7 automatic win’ and always take the underdog. Falcons win at +220. My Penix over rushing yards looks like it will end up a loser. He hasn’t once even thought about running. I have a different bet on Love also over rushing. Same. He hasn’t considered a rush yet. Reminds me of why Josh Allen is light years better than Love/Penix/ most everyone.

Still betting cautiously. If they paid even money it would have been 'fair bet week', but lost 0.31 units
