What’s the downside to risking $3,500 to win $1,000 on Padres ML?

Free money.............

i  took  rockies  money  line  large    when  they  were  up 6-1.  that  hit  batter  to  load  the  bases  made  my   heart  drop.  i   have  a shit  ton  of  money  on  the  rockies. 

   sorry to see this thread     hope next one goes better for ya     most here would say TOO MUCH RISK   hang in there bud    

well this post didnt end well.  Guess there was a downside.

am gonna share a tip an old bookie once told me 40 years ago.

ITS BETTER TO PASS ON A WINNER THEN BET A LOSER.

Those words fit this scenario perfectly.  Even if san diego did win, laying over 3-1 is not smart betting and long term it will ruin you.  Do you think books stay in business by bettors beating them with 3-1 favorites?  Nope

Money management… 

A story you can tell as you get older the day you bet padres big to beat the lowly Rockies they lose..theres library’s full of books about these stories

It’s like you asked and immediately got an answer. Funny how the world works. 

and all those beautiful buildings in vegas and around the world were built with gamblers money who posed that same very question

never bet that high juice in the long run you will lose.

now you need to win 4 straight bet to be up

 I agree, but then there's really BAD teams like the White Sox last year that were money makers, and the Rockies are WORSE.

With Bud Black being fired, let's see how this team reacts. Do they go on a run the rest of the season and win around 49 games? Or do they land around 30. 

Colorado experts are on Texas tonight.

@tvigilante2020

 yesterday was probably a fluke. rockies can hit but like 95% of their pitcherrs suck ass. and a coaching change probably wont improve their pitching..they just need to revamp that area of roster 

The rockies have a dopey owner, no nothing GM , they rarely develop players anymore.

They are the 2024 chisox.

Getting rid of black and bringing in hurdle the retread, is akin to putting 'lipstick on a pig'.

Be very selective in backing them.
