Cubs vs Indians 2016 World Series Discussion

[Olerud363]

One last plain and simple answer. The raw data from past playoffs doesn't support giving the Cubs that kind of advantage. I believe that the numbers should be much closer to 12.5% and 50% so I took action on it.

 

You are again putting yourself in a paradigm where you are smarter than the system...

 

You claim you are logical person. If you are smarter than the system, and you are logical, you should be taking advantage of it, until they change the system.

 

If you are right, logically it makes sense for you to bet huge sums of money on every playoff game over a number of years you will get richer and richer, by the time they find out that someone is gaming them, you will have made multi-millions, eventually you will effect the system, they will change it,

I didn't catch the game so I saw the highlights... wow how was Lackey not ejected for barking at the umpire so much?

[Krylian]

What's worse?

 

The Steve Bartman play

 

The Bill Buckner play

The ump realized the game wasnt about him and just sucked it up.

Yeah while it was refreshing to see, I still think there is limits. You can't keep barking over and over again, that was embarrassing by Lackey lol

Buckner obviously

[Dr Negative]

Lackey is probably the least likable player in all of baseball.

Exactly..let Lackey embarras himself. No one would have faulted the ump for tossing him but he didnt need to.

You need to understand that betting lines are influenced more by betting patterns than the quality of the teams themselves. Anyone who makes an emotionless bet is saying that they are smarter than the other betters. That's what makes it fun.

I like your take on it lol

This is true. However (Obviously) betting patterns are influenced by the quality of the teams. lol

[Krylian]

Buckner obviously

 

Agreed. It was just a foul ball... And yet the vitriol he took was insane.

[Grant77]

This is true. However (Obviously) betting patterns are influenced by the quality of the teams. lol

 

Of course. I meant that as well if it wasn't clear.

[Atothe]

Jason Kipnis is very good, I very much enjoyed the cub fans' tears last night lol

[Mittens87]

The Cubs run differential in the series is worse than when we played them at the game 4 mark. Just goes to show we would of stomped the Cubs

[Stevecool]

Yup. I wish we had played Boston instead.

 

Cleveland was so underrated. Seems very had them picked as finalists with their injuries.

I thought Cleveland and Toronto were the two best teams in the A.L. Doesn't surprise me. What surprises me is the way the Cubs are playing

[dineke]

Boston were the best team in the AL. Having 3 bad games in the playoffs doesn't change that.

[Jonn]

Hopefully Cleveland wraps this up tonight. I don't really want to see the season go into November.

That's not how baseball works.

Yer dum

[Mittens87]

I know but the way the Cubs are playing I think toronto would of had a good shot against the Cubs at least going 6 or 7 games. Indians were better than us though so will never know

[Jonn]

Nah I'm done watching this Indians team.

[Mittens87]

Go Indians

[dineke]

Why would anyone cheer for the Indians at this point. I want to see a game 6 and especially a game 7.

I'm hoping the Indians win so we can get on with the offseason.

Eat s***

Don't you bet on the indians literally every year?

 

They must have had 25-1 or better odds to win at the start of the year
