Am I Nuts?

I just put a dime on the Astros to win the whole damn thing! Am I losing my mind?

$1,000 = $6400!! Do I have a prayer? Opinions, please![img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

First of all, where did you find 6.4-1?

Secondly, I think they have a HUGE shot win win the NL.

+6400 @ Carib

You're not nuts for betting the Stros.

But you're not doing a good job of line shopping if you only got +640.

Plenty of places in the +700 to +800 range.

Oly is at a more then fair +850.

P6, what is the best you see on there on them to win the NL?

I understand Picksix, but I'm currently only alive at one shop, so I just took what they had to offer.

I wish I could but, I've had two units on the same bet. ( @1000 ) End of August I had wished that I didn't make the bet.. Now
I can't stop smiling. I bet it in the spring. ( no football action ) GL , it could happen.[img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

I saw +900 yesterday, but +850 at Oly looks good right now.

Good Luck jackyl...Bet you wish they had home field advantage !

What is it now? 18 in a row. That is impressive

They really were hotter than any of the other playoff teams down the stretch, and with their offense, and Lidge closing up shop, I like their chances. I bet they're glad they didn't trade Beltran, huh?
