Well, now that I have taken advantage of it....odds for the team winning MUST equal 1. Otherwise you just bet same amount on each team and will guarantee yourself money.

I know, most people don't realize it even after it's pointed out (it has been before) so I decided to let it go for this one though. Set both close enough to 1, so even if you do that the payout isn't anything special... best case scenario your 200 becomes 250, worst case 225).

I've won a bunch off of the other vBookies threads the same way (I don't bet on the ones I make)

Joe West working first base, which helps those looking for the ejection

Who'da thunk Gio Gonzalez would throw a fucking gem? (Obviously Sherm and Zombiekiller did)

I figured this pitching matchup would produce like a 9-7 shitwreck.
Their ERA's are decent, but they're both young and prone to imploding once in a while (hence their near .500 records).

There would be more runs if we didn't have people getting thrown out at first by the right fielder with 2 outs and the bases loaded.

No HR's in the game at all

Joe West didn't give anyone the boot
