World Baseball Classic picks
- Thread starter 1837
- Start date
Just before it went OTB i saw another great line on Venezuela and played: Venezuela +1.5 +105 (2 units) 
Tough day yesterday only winning Italy...
Today i will play only 1 game and at the looks of what is going on today (Panana-Cuba in OT), Canada leading 5-0 vs USA :scared It looks like it is another crazy day trying to handicap these games so i am playing one doggie:
Netherlands +6 -150 (1 unit)
Maybe Puerto Rico will be worn out by yesterday's game? :shrug: :mj07:
anyway i like Netherlands +6...

With Canada upsetting USA :mj07: :s2: we have a very STRONG probability to see a 3 team tie at the end of the series (If Mexico beats Canada but you can bet my moon1 that they will have the will to do so and i will pound them in the next game!)) and we will have to go to the tiebreaker to see who will be the 2 teams to go into the second round so... Mexico should run up the scores vs South Africa tonight who are quite out of good pitcher tonight after using most of them yesterday vs Canada. Tiebreaker rule and the win of Canada will push them hard to win BIG!!!
Mexico -7.5 -110 (2 units!)

Man the US better be saying their prayers. They are damn lucky they organized this contest and put themselves in a weak Pool. Aguably the US is the only top 8 team in the Pool and they are still playing poorly.
1837:
IF there is a three way tie, the US better smack around South Africa. I am assuming to break a tie the total run different will be the breaker?
No team jumps out with a big advantage in that yet. But assuming they don't get CRUSHED by Mexico, they look safe.

Here is the offical tiebreaker rule...:
Ties shall be broken in the following order of priority:
The team that defeated the other tied team head-to-head in a given Round shall be ranked higher in the pool standings for such Round.
The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings for that Round according to fewest runs allowed divided by the number of innings (including partial innings) played in defense in the games in that Round between the teams tied.
The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to fewest earned runs allowed divided by the number of innings (including partial innings) played in defense in the games in that Round between the teams tied.
The tied teams shall be ranked in the standings according to highest batting average in games in that Round between the teams tied.
Standings shall be determined by the drawing of lots, conducted by WBCI.

Recap: 1-1 (-1 unit) Mexico did run up the score but RSA put up 4!!!
Today... line came out very for late... :mj1: (just 2 minutes ago!) will have to shop somewhere else...
Mexico and Canada should be a dandy. Close game in the like of 4-3 or 5-4. The winner of the game is in. If Mexico wins and put 2 runs or less Canada will be in too but i doubt to see a score of 2-1...
Will play:
Mexico +105 (2 units)
Now, a blow out...
Venezuela -5.5 -200 (3 units!!!)
If Italy won 10-0 vs the Aussies, how come Venezuela wont win by the same margin? I'm surprise to even see a line here....

1-0 Venezuela in the 5th??? :banghead: :mj1: Totally illogical... :wtf:
We will get our Mexico game bet but Venezuela is playing with fire now...

Unbelievable....
Recap:1-1 but -4 units because of the Venezuela boys... Got my lessons today... no more laying big spread with these supposely "big" teams... I wish Aussies would have beat them... Venezuela 4 hits going to the 9th... :shrug: Man...

Not sure if it will carry into the next round (I doubt the spreads will be so big), but the dogs certainly had the best value so far! Coulda made a killing mostly taking teams handed a lot of points...
1837: Good luck in the second round

2 team parlay: USA-450 and Dominican -260
Laying 250$ to win 173$
Still thinking about Venez-Puerto Rico who should be a heck of a game...

Mr. Will have to play against you today buddy :tongue
Yesterday was dog day but today it looks like the favorites are winning BIG so..
Venezuela -125 (1 unit) Do or die game for them. I would have put much more but they have killed me 2 times in the tourney so i'll play it small...
