    Buddah takes the emotion out of the wager as he states in his reply earlier to me and goes with his strategy.  He is good as he has won me money.  Lookingtowin is old school and I am from that school.  All this technology with iPads, laptops, etc.  Cool!  But for this I am going to bet what I see, I see Detroit.  They look to be the better team.  SF has grit, no doubt.  It should be great.  Numbers and stats can lie and technology will fail, sooner or later.  I remember Jack Morris and Sparky Anderson.  Long time ago for sure.  Denny McClain and Mickey Lolich and Al Kaline go even further back.  The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    ihavenopatience - I looked at the lines yesterday around this time and at donbest the opening line was 144 - and I just looked now and it's still 144.  Periodically the opening line does change but not often. you may have seen the series price at 155 - not sure.

Everyone is here to make that dollar and you are deterring everyone on the fence away from the Tigers for the wrong reasons. 


    Not betting a single game in this series because it is my favourite team in sports.  I have some series bets with some fellow employees for a good chunk of money because i am confident they will win the series.    Good luck with your bets.
