Do you really think that was his sole reason for making the bet?

I thought you were an idiot before due to your "don't bet on bad teams" rule

I've now changed my mind. I KNOW you're an idiot

Betting against a red hot Jays (on fire, hence playing with fire), with a team that has NO pitching and a depleted lineup, just seemed odd, on top of the Braves bet season long. Twins I'll give, because even 2 weeks ago, I didn't think they were as bad as their record and still don't.

I have bet on every team at some point, so it isn't a RULE of mine, genius. Again, I don't discount anything when betting. All I am saying is these seemed like bad situations to bet teams in the cellar, and continuing to do so, like I said, just comes with too many headaches. No intent more than that. Not being critical, just advising. Is that ridiculous advice?

No, I don't think that was his sole reason for making his bet. That's why I asked for elaboration, duh? Vilify me if you want, but you have completely misinterpreted my comments. But since I am an idiot, guess you MUST be the wise one.

Anyway, my service says 75% of ML bets are on Toronto. ML $ is down to 53% in favor of Arizona. Probably will be in favor of Toronto come game time. But, this isn't a huge public play. Volume of bets is fairly low compared to other games. If you're looking to fade the public, look to Oakland. That game has a lot more action and 80% of both bets and money is on Houston right now!

Unrelated. As this is probably a no play for me, Stroman has phenomenal career numbers against the NL.

You use SI?
