I wish I was patient enough to bet that, but unless I'm gonna put a grand I can't afford to lose on it I don't wanna tie up money now and have to wait AGES to cash in on this SURE THING NL CENTRAL LOCK OF THE MILLENIUM

You do realize that this had nothing to do with my original post. I could agree with you on this point and yet my original post still be a valid profitable piece of information.

"Well played" my friend.

Yes...you pointed out the difference. I get it. There's value there.

I wasn't trying to sell the Cubs just pointing out a substantial difference in odds if you buy shares on trade sports.

I don't know why you think asking 'what are the odds against the cubs to win the division' should require such a defensive response. I didn't think you were trying to sell anyone on the cubs and I didn't think beantown was either.

I do think that you got really defensive really fast for some reason.

I think asking what the odds on the cubs not winning the division (thereby implying that he might be more interested in one of those bets) hardly is a rude question. It's the same question I had as well.

I agree with you. Further against the Cubs and for the Cubs are relatively close to a profitable opposite bet. I should never have discouraged that question.

On the other hand...

HOU and STL should make this close to a 3-horse race again.
CIN and PIT could be reasonably competitive as well.

1st, regardless of odds you want to Fade the Cubs.

2nd You like Pittsburgh.

Here is a bet I'd offer you.

If either one or both the Pirates or Astros win more games than the Cubs in 2005 you win the bet. If nether team wins more I win.

The bet doesn't have to be money it could be a posting or avatar type bet. Nothing that would get us in trouble with Mat though.

This is in the spirit of good fun and I am sorry if I were a bit defensive.

[MicroBob]

i think the Pirates COULD be reasonable. I hardly think they are considered a favorite....but if things bonuce their way they could stay in the race for a little while conceiveably. i don't really like them THAT much.



I agree with you though that CHI is likely to win more games than HOU or PIT. So...if I had to choose a side in this particular bet it would be on the side of the Cubbies.
