I guess even Betfair feel now the money is so sparse it just isn't worth it anymore.

Liquidity is a joke on MLB in running. Was waiting on Nats for an accy for 5k and no liquidity to lay off for something decent. Went to 18 innings and of course they got beat 2-1. 4 play off games have gone to extra innings and I`ve been beat in all 4
 My mate who is a bookie says they level out. Well they don`t for me. As I said earlier in the thread, I NEVER win in extra innings, which imo is a bit of a Lottery. Years ago, there was some good Forum interchange on MLB games, now one ends up talking to oneself, which is the first sign of insanity  Where have all the knowledgeable good guys gone, particularly tai who knew his stuff? Even my learned friend Orioles has disappeared and his team has a big shot at the lot.  |

The host has done it in. Many early players made $250 K over the years here and are done. The biggest forum participants were those who saw $ for their efforts. Hard to make a go or tip a team on these markets. There was some good advertising(yesteryear) by regulars who got casuals to wager through forum banter. Maybe it was destined to die and the corporation is doing what it can to prosper. However make no mistake, things will never come back here like before.

With Kershaw on the mound against Miller and Gonzalez up against Vogelsong, one would think that Dodgers and Nationals were certainties. Just under 2/1 for the double. But as we all know, it just takes either Kershaw or Gonzalez to be OFF with their pitching and one is truly ******. Funny old game at times but this looks money for old rope.

TMM you would think but Kershaw got hammered last time out, throwing over 100 pitches in a stress filled outing. It was very out of character but maybe he is feeling the effects of a long season. Coming back here on short rest i cant see him going more than 6 innings then handing it over to the disasterous dodgers bullpen that keeps on giving. The Cards have a great post season pedigree and i think they have a great chance to win, can see them getting to Kershaw and then hammering the bullpen.. Miller is reasonably solid for the Cards but no surprise to see the Dodgers score runs either. 6.5 total runs seems very low given what i have said above.
Cards to win 1pt Over 6.5 runs 3pts |

Good logical post wallace. Small loss overall for you. Big loss for me. Good to see other good opinions on these games like the old days. Well done on the outright pick. You should post more often mate.
Kershaw pitched brilliantly but once again tried to do too much. Would have been more sensible going to the bull pen in the 7th, but like you said, they have been dodgy and Mattingly made a big mistake. If they had, they would have won 2-0 given the way Baez pitched. As I said earlier, a game of inches. Gordon misses catch by inch to his right, next one goes half an inch over the glove of Ramirez and then big "fatty" Adams hits a 3 run homer over the wall by an inch. It`s all down to luck at the end of the day. When ones luck is out, like mine has been all week, one has no chance. If I had bet Cardinals, there is no way Adams would have hit that 3 run shot. I`ve now switched to Giants. Why? Because I fancy the Nationals and my luck is out.  |

Incredible stuff, wild pitch on an intentional ball, Posey thrown out at home.

A lot of hugs, high fives & manly hand-shakes taking place on the field. |

KC are playing like a team possessed. Orioles have the long ball. St Louis know how to win. Giants are always dangerous. Roll up, roll up and take your pick.

Home advantage seems to be overrated by the oddsmakers, particularly in the Postseason. Often when home teams play in front of manic full houses in playoffs as opposed to half empty morgues during regular season I would imagine it can put more pressure on the home team and be a hindrance. With this in mind no reason why Shields cant beat Tillman.
In terms of overall winner very hard to call.. |
