The 5-4 loss by Houston was totally unexpected with our ace getting rocked by a player barely old enough to get into a bar. At least it was a great game. Verlander vs. Strausburg tonight looks to be just as good. Hopefully Kate Upton is Verlanders good luck charm! College and pro football with the World Series is a great time to be a sports fan...looking forward to seeing some predictions from our fine UIC faithful!

I took the Nats to win the series yesterday at +170. Was a bit disappointed with that price as I'd heard +190. Probably would've added had the Nats lost with increased odds. Also have a flyer on Strausbourg and Kendrick to win MVP.

Verlander is not winning the ‘big’ games. Too bad.

Not going well in H-Town. Verlander is snake bitten for sure! We'll see who handles the pressure tonight. Bats come alive?

I added to my Nats position on Monday at that 550 number and am now hedged somewhat. Think the Strasburg MVP speculation could hit if the Nats pull this out, although Soto and now maybe Rendon would be candidates, as well. Been an interesting and strange (historic) series with the road team winning every game so far. Last MLB baseball for many months.

Greinke vs Scherzer, the starting pitchers for the 7th game of a World Series.
Can it be better, regardless of who you are rooting for?

Appears Gam might be flush with some Breeders Cup cash.

Nice ROI but not really a "crush" with the small sums I played. Now if "Mattress Mack" McIgnvale had followed my lead as opposed to backing the Stros, he would've crushed it big.

GAM - he had a liability of about 20 million for a "free if the Astros win the WS" promotion he ran this year at his stores. Made a lot of headlines with the bets, but really was just a big hedge.

Thanks Mr. Hendry. I had an Otis Special wager with an UIC member (no names) that you could not resist chiming in and would make a rare visit to the Basement to comment! Congrats to those who cashed on the Nats. Great series in my opinion and I hope we can put the majority of the team together for a run next season. I have no interest in the NBA until the playoffs. College and pro football with some golf and horse racing mixed in will be the Cooler's focus now!

I was aware of the promotion but didn’t know his exposure was that large. Heck. How much furniture did he sell for that promo?
