Beginning tomorrow, I will be blindly betting the Astros for every game going forward for the rest of the season, approximately 54 games unless a rain out occurs. I'll track it here in this thread and every bet will be for $200 bucks (if a underdog $200 to win whatever and if a favorite enough wagered to win $200). This team right now is playing 32.40% baseball and while I'm not expecting awesome results, I do expect to get anywhere from +1.60-+2.00 on road games and small underdog prices at home, let's see what happens.

Oscar that is very ballsy brother. I can't see Houston doing much from here on out. With Pence and now Bourne being traded I believe one of the only bats they have is Carlos Lee? Top that off with a sketchy pitching staff and you never know what team shoes up. Cinncy seems to have caught a much needed boost in taking the San Fran series so I'm thinking they come hungry to Houston. I hope the system works for you. Good luck brother!

Thanks tnizzle, you have to remember that this team will be getting ridiculous prices every night. I'm doing this just to see if you can make a profit late in the year on shitty teams. I normally don't handicap baseball in September anyway so it gives me a automatic play every day, let's see what happens.

You may also consider just lighting 2 $100 bills on fire every day and cut out the middle man!

I've already lit a lot of bills this year betting the Astros, what are a few more?

Hats off to you Oscar as I got my ass kicked playing the Reds. All I can say is WOW!

Sorry to hear about the loss tnizzle but you will get it back. Remember this is just an experiment and I think if the Astros play about 40% down this stretch, I will make money but we will have to see what happens.

The Astros Experiment 1-0 +$226

A tough blown save loss last night, I'm committed to this and maybe after this experiment I will have to be committed!

Another tough loss last night as the Stros lost 1-0 in the bottom of the 10th inning. It's unbelievable that when I started this they were playing 32% baseball and yet after 11 games they are at 27%, WTF!
