$100 on the Cards over the Dodgers tomorrow (July 15th).

$150 on the Yankees to win the AL championship.

I think you should start betting on the MLB World Series.

No, at this point you'd need to bet on the championship.
Seriously? Come on, there's still around 80 games left.

Okay. I've added World Series Odds to the first post.

Still can't find the odds on this game.

If you bet on the Yankees, I would have to give you really terrible odds. It's ludicrous to predict brackets at the midway point.

You guys can do a straight bet, since there are no odds.

mean that betting on either team actually loses you about 2.9% of your bet if they win? (And of course you lose all if they lose)
100/103 means that if you win you get back your stake plus 100/103 of it. Which means you gain 97.1% of your bet.

This should have started before the World Cup. It would've been much better than Yanni's points thing on #worldcup that quickly got boring.

Completed N and NReality.

Third Place in BLUR 4 highscore.
Not highscoring anymore until v2.

Congratulations to flagmyidol for netting 84.03$ on top of his bet tonight.

And sadly, SlappyMcGee loses fifty for betting on the Mariners. Stupid Slappy.

Odds are going up for tomorrow's baseball right now.

First and foremost, Inspired loses a thousand dollars and maestro gains 1000.

And every team I chose lost, so I lost 350$ tonight. :(

Techno lost fifty bucks.

I'm not able to update the odds today, but if you post a bet here before a game is played, I'll get you the money.
