As for "history" and "tradition," both were revised in game 5.
New records to beat were set.
Some of the pundits belittling and marginalizing the Astros are "revisiting" their assessments, and beginning to conclude the Astros are "for real" and can compete against the best the National League has to offer. When will you?
They were underdogs.

The bottomline, the Astros were a clear underdog. The money line and odds clearly established that. Not me.

From where does the "betting public" get their information on which they base their decision to bet on one team or the other?
From their individual "scouting" efforts during the season?
Like I posted: You didn't really post that did you?
From where did "Vegas" get 72% odds HillariousNoMore would win?
Let me answer: From the MAINSTREAM MEDIA~! POLLS!

I guess that’s how you operate. As far as sports betting, I use my knowledge of the teams by watching them play.
It has nothing to do with the MSM or marginalizing anything. Just who you think is going to win based on odds or the betting line.

No MSM, or marginalizing involved. A smart bookie wants equal money bet on both sides. He’s guaranteed a 10% profit. Just the way it is. Always has been. I’ll guess there’s heavy money on the Astros in Houston. Not because of the MSM. It’s because they’re betting on their team.

You are the one who proclaimed the betters set the odds. Not me!
Then WTF claims "Vegas" (who ever the fuck that is) sets them! And you chime in about trying to tell me that, but I have a hard head .... So I ask you where you posted that ... you get all belligerent and antagonistic about it .... (a failed defensive response to getting your ass caught in your bullshit!).
Based upon your REACTION I have good reason to believe I started "gambling" before you were born.

So WTF is full of shit according to you .... again ... not every Astros fan bets on the Astros and vice versa. So from where do they get their information about who is a good pitcher and who bats well in a given situation? From the "bookie"????
So that's how you "play" sports ... call the "bookie" and ask where to place your bet????
Or better yet: Call your "bookie" and ask him who is going to be pitching for the Dodgers, what their 7th game experience is, and what their 7th game record is .... at home with the Dodgers. Then ask your "bookie" what the batting averages are of the Astros hitters against the Dodgers' starter and "closers" for today's game! Who does your "bookie" say to bet on for game 7?
Go pretend with someone else. I'm not impressed (nor are my friends!)
(Did it really take you 4 hours to look your bullshit up on the internet? Man! You are slow!)

If you don't believe me ... look at their posts!!!!

We both said bookies want EVEN money bet on each side. By all means, refer to my posts. And for a good laugh, review yours. You continue your jihad to prove how fucking stupid you are.

Unfortunately for you you can't erase your bullshit, and your lameass effort of redirecting the conversation ... post-series... doesn't work any more than "post-election" diversions.

...you deflected from your "underdog" bullshit to gambling!!!
The mainstream media has been marginalizing the Astros from the ALS with the Yankees! It continued until Game 7 around the 7th. And you were chiming in like Pavlov's dog! As I pointed out above: YOU DREDGED UP THE "ALMANAC"!!!!
