  1. I tried a system 3/6 bet in Proline today for the first time (NBA games). It was interesting. Got 4/6 right, which worked out to $20 into $28. Would have been a really nice day if one or two of the other games hit in the set. I'll probably be bolder when (if) baseball starts.
  2. Looking at Cantlay, Hovland, Matsuyama, Si Woo Kim, Ghim, Spaun
  3. That's exactly it though. Risk and reward. If you're making $350m, what does that extra $150m ACTUALLY mean to him? On the other hand, let's say he has an accident during the lockdown (or even long haul COVID) or a bad injury while playing and he's made next to nothing at this stage in his career. Heck, who knows how the next CBA will affect top earners. Is the risk of (maybe) $150m that he probably won't know what to do with anyway worth risking the financial security of setting himself and his family up for generations? IMO the risk/reward doesn't compute for turning down a solid offer like that. It would be entirely different if he had been lowballed.
  4. Those seem like pretty fair analysis
  5. Of course there is. Egos will take over brains.
  6. The Disney+ GOAT commercial was amusing.
  7. Lol, enjoyed that Dr. Evil GM commercial.
  8. How does a player not understand they can't do that?
  9. What would it actually cost clubs to pay the minor leaguers in ST? I mean, they're making next to nothing already.
  10. I'd be interested to see it more on a year-to-year basis, particularly the last 10 years. A lot of franchises got a massive boost from MLBAM, new stadiums, and new TV deals. I don't see additional revenue streams providing that kind of gain in the near future. With regards to what the owners actually put in their pockets, it's possible that almost the entire gain comes from increases in franchise valuations as opposed to underlying fundamentals and actual cash flow. Manfred's statement, while perhaps misleading, may not be entirely inaccurate right now. Of course if MLB was to open up the books, it could all be put to rest one way or the other.
  11. OLG has a signup bonus right now where they match deposit funds on new accounts (up to $500), just in case anyone is interested.
  12. I did. McCarthy crapping one out sucks though. You really need all the golfers getting through to have a solid chance at cashing.
  13. Doncic just put up 28 points with seven 3s in the 1st quarter
  14. PG Pascal?
  15. As if students don't have enough to worry about. This is the sort of situation where binding arbitration makes sense.
  16. I think I'm gonna put Kim in for Wise.
  17. A 6th in a future year or a waiver wire swap (Dinger is Ye Be Judged, right?). Either would be fine with me.
  18. Fine with me if it's fine with the commishes. If not, a 6th in another year would be fine too.
  19. Can someone move Eguy to my minors please? I also won't be using my final pick, so you can make it go poof.
  20. He won't be blacklisted by all teams. Someone (like the Rangers) will almost certainly be willing to run him out there if the price is right. There definitely WILL be teams who will cross him off the list though. This is going to cost him a fortune in future contracts, but he'll still be in the majors and pitching.
  21. I think I saw something about Fantrax being in the final stages of producing a new improved draft app. Hopefully all of those things will be addressed by it (but it wouldn't hurt to let them know they should be).
  22. I'm tentatively looking at Cantlay, Power, Henley, Gooch, McCarthy, and Wise. Definitely subject to change.
  23. Imagine if he replies to it!
  24. I wonder if the players would go back to that structure (ie, ALSO keeping the unlimited aspect of it). I feel like that's a rather important part as well. I suspect they probably wouldn't.
