rank | Wed Oct 27 04:27:34 2010 can anyone actually understand this stuff? http://www.docsports.com/world-series-odds.html not interested in making complex bets on the spread or the final score, just interested in betting on who will win. if this mumbo jumbo boils down to the Giants having a 30% chance of victory, and i can make a 1-1 bet on their losing, and i can afford to lose the money, then i would consider that a solid bet. |

Dakyron
rank | Wed Oct 27 16:41:58 2010 Giants have home field advantage, which means alot in the world series. I wouldnt discount them. |

rank | Wed Nov 17 22:38:00 2010 texas vs. san fran and you make a gay joke... like it singles one out. :-/ |
licker
rank | Thu Nov 18 07:29:39 2010 Oh come on, everyone knows there are more closet gays in texas than in the rest of the world. |
Clitoral Hood
rank | Thu Nov 18 08:12:08 2010 obviously. which is why saying the winning team is gay doesn't help. |
