chw42 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:28 AM) Pretty sure Lester's brain would melt. And who knows if Chapman is rattled now or not. The fans and media really affect the mindset of the players IMO. Fans start panicking...players start panicking. There's a reason Cubs team of the past that played so well in the regular season have fallen on their faces in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Taking any mental aspect out of it, there's just no way I'd want to face the Cueto-Bum combo in game 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Need Nats to win today so Scherzer can go game 1 instead of game 5 of the NLDS if they end up playing the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I was thinking last night when I went to bed how tough that had to be on Cub fans. That game ended 1:45 a.m. I think. Let's say you live in suburbia and have to be at work at 8 downtown and take the train. You get up at 5:45 to do everything you need to do to catch a train right? That's a whopping 4 hours sleep and they lost. Lotta people in bad moods today? Edited October 11, 2016 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 11, 2016 -> 11:14 AM) What odds did you get at 3-0? That's some major stones to bet $2k at that point. Sure looked like they were dead and buried. Initial bet was $2,000 money line on the Giants, it was at -135 to start, so $2,000 to win $1481.84 When it was 3-0, the line was +1200 for the Giants. I was on tilt and bet another $2,000 because I just didn't believe they would go quietly. So that bet was $2,000 to win $24,000. All in all I made $29,481.84 edit: gotta subtract out the $4k investment so $25,481.84 Edited October 11, 2016 by pettie4sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it also helped that cubs were still threatening so they took it in to account that more runs were about to be scored.

pettie4sox Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I use bovada so they don't report anything, I wouldn't pay taxes on it anyway because I already paid taxes on my $50 to $100 I initially invested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone will ever know, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't work that way. My experience is you pay taxes on ALL income. Unless you already lost $30,000 this year.

So you can write off gambling losses against gambling winnings...so basically to prove you had no long-term gains. The Vegas casinos typically require you to sign tax forms for winnings of $10k or more, I believe. Is Bovada technically illegal still? If so, I'm not sure how much good it would do you to pay taxes on income related to an illegal act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly it is the tax evasion that they will hunt you down for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Unrelated to earlier posts but the line says this is a pick 'em........ If Matt Moore is on, I think the Giants can get to Lackey. Thus the final score will be 8-3 cubs. This game could be a blow out either way or a nail-biter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
