Fixed your thread title.

Although I can only imagine how one win must feel to Yankees fans worldwide after the worst collapse in the history of sport.

Well done.

I love it. Every year in the past Red Sox fans make the statements such as "We're ahead of the Yankees now" early on in the season. My Yankee fan friends (or just Red Sox protagonists) at such times would simply say "Just wait until the end of the season and see where everyone stands then."

Yep, they're bottom of the standings. With only 161 more games to go...

I don't remember the last time the Sox won on Opening Day. I'm not that concerned. Also, they have won 8 of their last 9 games. The Yankees have lost 4 out of their last 5. What do you have to say to that?

Poor salty. No team to root for in Oregon.

there is a minor league team in Portland, and I plan on going to a few games.


But, I have cable so I can watch a lot of games as well. SO basically I can root for the M's, Yankees, Nationals, Giants, Twins.... ah [censored] it, basically everyone. Baseball rules.

Open ChristinaB mouth, insert ChristinaB foot.

Yanks lose again, 3 games under .500, worse than even the Devil RAAAys.

Well, you seem to be pretty confident, so how about you give me 2 to 1? If they make it, you pay me $2 for every $1 that I bet. If they miss it, I pay you $1 for every $2 that you bet.

How about you both find some sports betting site and follow the odds the house sets?

Are any houses still offering odds even after the season started?

I brought it up to prove to jesuswhatever that his opinion on whether Los Jankees will make the playoffs is incorrect, not to make a fair gamble.

You're the one who thinks they won't make the playoffs. What odds would you offer?

WSEX has the odds of the Yankees winning the AL East at 1-4.

I'm not giving you 4 to 1. You sounded mighty confident that they wouldn't make it. So you've gotta do better than that.

Voltron87 04-16-2005 09:52 PM

Re: Red Sox = Bottom of the MLB Standings
 
So they're laying 3-1 on a bettors money? You want to offer me that bet?

Voltron87 04-16-2005 09:54 PM

Re: Red Sox = Bottom of the MLB Standings
 
You're screwing up the odds.

WSEX is probably laying 1-4 on the Yankees making the playoffs. That means for every 4$ you bet, 1$ profit stands to be made. If they are giving 1-4 odds, you are saying one in 4, which is obviously not the case. Betting semantics.

Well since every major sportsbook says you're wrong... what odds would you give me? Obviously not the same as a sportsbook, since you disagree with them.

He probably thinks that 11 games constitute a whole season.

Maybe he's forgotten that last year the Yankees had a .500 April. I remember it, because I watched every game. I watched Boston win 6 of 7 from us in April. They swept us at Yankee Stadium, and we lost 3 of 4 at Fenway. At least we tied them this time.

They then proceeded to win the AL East by a comfortable margin, and amass the second best record in baseball. 11 games is nothing.

I picked them to miss the playoffs before the season. I posted it here; you can look it up. What do you think the odds are that the Yanks miss the playoffs?

Voltron87 04-16-2005 10:08 PM

Re: Red Sox = Bottom of the MLB Standings
 
1 in 4.

You sound so confident, let's put some money on it, you name the odds. If you think the Yankees will miss they playoffs you would want to give even odds, especially with the Yankees' bad start.

Dead 04-16-2005 10:13 PM

Re: Red Sox = Bottom of the MLB Standings
 
It doesn't matter what I think the odds are.

I'll take an even money bet if you want.

Don't forget that WSEX odds are missing one thing. Those are the odds to win the AL East. It doesn't take the wild card into account. The Yanks could win the Wild Card and still get in the playoffs. Adjust accordingly.

Jack of Arcades 04-16-2005 10:20 PM

Re: Red Sox = Bottom of the MLB Standings
 
You should give him at least 6-1 because of the wild card.

Voltron87 04-16-2005 10:21 PM

Re: Red Sox = Bottom of the MLB Standings
 
sshhhhhhhhhh...

The real point is to get him to realize that saying the Yankees are not going to make the playoffs is genuinely retarded. Because I'm 90% sure he'll never put any money on it with me.
