    Lol @ your cheap ass. I spent over $500 for a pair of tickets 3x last year. And I have nowhere NEAR the resources that you do. What's the point of money if you don't enjoy your life?
    Truth. His casket is going to be the same size as yours and mine.
    I can't see the point of having money and not enjoying it or at least helping out people who are less fortunate with it.

    Fucking bastards. Probably would have marked it as a loss if he got a hit too

    Go to your site and log in. There should be a "rules" tab.

    Not trying to be arguementitive but 99% of sites that offer baseball props have a "must start" rule. I'd be surprised if this was ever going to be action. Now that said this just shows how close they pay attention when setting up these bets.... it's not a suprise they are exploitable.

    Wait, do you not have the 6 hour rule for Dodger tickets?

    The teams themselves set the time rules. Cubs are 6 hours, some teams are 90 minutes, some right up until game time.

    I think there are varying times that teams will allow ticket transfer on sites like stubhub...philly its pretty damn close to game time...got 10th row tickets to the phillies this summer for $17 like 60 minutes before first pitch...still think I overpaid...

    Got a bunch of PM's on the following. Here is the conclusion.

    long story short I got shut off. Bookie tells agent Sunday AM the account is terminated and that for final payout he needs my name, number and address and the book in cost Rica will mail me a check, or that was the story I was given.

    In conclusion the bookie is another local guy but the site is run out of CR. The site as a service to its bookie clients runs data queries and looks for winning players that bet more than 50% of $$ on props. Thankfully I'm in that criteria. The site calls the book and tells him "you do what you want, but this guy's a gooroo we would cut him if we were you". Now I'm being told by the agent that the site told the book that I'm likely already blacklisted at a bunch of other places and if he asks me for my address I'll probably freak out and not give up my info and he will be able to keep the last $$. I gave up my info but told him I don't want a check due to wife issues and by the way if my bank starts to ask questions I'll be forced to say where the $$ came from..... he agreed to fork over the cash.

    Now I meet with the agent today to collect.... cash in hand.... and now he's saying the book may want to take me back but may limit my props.

    Agent starts to play 20 questions with me says in 14 years he's never seen anyone been shut off before....and I can tell because I've been in this spot before 2 gets you 1 next time im in he wants to open up an account with a friend and split the proceeds.

    6 hour rule is dropped for the postseason, at least for the Dodgers.

    I can't go today, as I have a prior commitment.

    However, I really am strongly considering just going to the game tomorrow without a ticket, and then buying one with the Stubhub app right before game time.

    Both yesterday and today, prices fell big time in the final 90 minutes prior to game start. The seats I like to sit in (field level, first 8 rows, between bases) fell on both days from $5xx to $3xx.

    Right now I could get Row D Aisle 24 (1B side) for $360. That's no $108, but it's damn good for this series.

    Zero point zero chance I am buying anything in advance, though. That's just throwing away money in this series.

    I'm either buying at the last minute or not going.

    Indians are 2 hours. I hope they drop it for World Series, as I'll be around and trying to get in door for decent price. Dodgers would probably mean a much cheaper ticker as they don't travel from west coast like a Cubs fan will. Red Sox and Toronto have been worst case scenario for teams that always show up in Cleveland.

    Because you can get essentially the same tickets for half price by waiting til the last hour beforehand.

    This series seems to be showing that pattern.

    The NLDS oddly had prices bottom out at about 5 hours before game time, and then crept back up a little.

    Dodgers +150 or better tomorrow
    Eagles +2.5
    Steelers +7

    I hope my NFL picks are TMMLK approved.

    I have retired, however, the first 2 games I have no comment on, but would like to see you look into game 3. I don't make picks, but just a suggestion about the Steelers game is all I will say.

    94 degrees right now at 4:30pm, and Maeda is worn out.

    Could have had really good seats for $342 each, but that's as low as it got.

    Disappointing, because this was 4 hours ago, and there was no last-minute panic sell as there has been every other game this series, despite a lot of inventory. Weird.

    Actually could have snagged game 3 seats for cheaper in the final hour!

    Decided it wasn't worth the long drive in traffic, the $342, the parking cost, and sitting in the heat to watch Maeda pitch.

    Will be watching at home.

    Snake, those are funny bets. Will be hilarious if they blow out Lester and win something like 9-2, but yeah... it's gonna be an uphill battle just to win this one at all.
