Why?Why won&#x27;t there be a repeat winner?How is Vegas controlling this Derby?

neverlayoff · Answer

Updates---roof closed for first 2 rounds to stop the desert heat, reopened for finals, so wind wont play a factor until then---@starwink, most of public smashes favourites, and homerun leaders and all star vote leaders, Bautista aint winning

dude give us something you just made a bunch of reasons up to support your opinion.

I personally think Ortiz and fielder can go deep because of their size and can muscle balls out more than the smaller stature guys (Kemp, Cano, Weeks). I'm also wondering why no one has mentioned gonzalez, he may not have the swing but when everyone is hot and tired its the big bodies that usually win-go look at winners past 15 years, most of them are big boned, wide bodied build players. Just my 2 cents

You may end up being right, but after reading your posts again I&#x27;m sorry to say you must loose a lot of money with a minset like that.  If im wrong I mean no offense, If I&#x27;m right then do some research.

dude shut the f up, im capping a homerun derby and ur taking it serious as if the homerun derby is where ur moneys made lolquit cryin and take my info and or opinion for what its worth

Saigon187 · Answer

I don&#x27;t think Cano has a chance-but your going to fade him because his dad&#x27;s pitching?&#xD;&#xA;Just think about that.&#xD;&#xA;Yea I love betting on the derby but I don&#x27;t bet to have a good time.  Covers is to give/get information about bets.  Your just throwing out all these crazy hypothesis.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;PS anyone who thinks "vegas" controls outcomes of any game is fucking retarded.  Basically they know more than all of us-that&#x27;s all it is.  They spend 24/7 handicapping.  Most people spend 15 minutes.

dude are you dumb, pitchers play a big role in this, Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks have chosen someone they are very familar with. This guy was the one who threw to Prince when he won in STL.
Canos dad will be more nervous etc

it does play a role

Saigon187 · Answer

ok and 50% is a waste.  Not trying to beef with you man but when you see vegas won&#x27;t let Bautista win I start to doubt your intelligence.

You guys are laughing at him, but he was right about lefties as seen from Gonzo and Robby&#x27;s performance thus far. Good info neverlayoff
