    Default Baseball World Cup: Anyone wagering on it?

    There could be some easy money here. I am on Under-9.5 on Canada vs Cuba. -105.

    There are usually upsets at these tournaments.

    I feel their is money to be made here myself Baus. In fact I'm considering putting a little coin down on Thailand +15.5.

    Canada beat Thailand 18-0 yesterday. Keep in mind there is a 7 inning mercy rule in International tournaments.

    I'm on the Mexico vs South Africa Over 10.5 (-105) today.

    Bigboydan, Thailand lost 18-2.

    As predicted there were some upsets. Italy beat USA 6-2. I think Italy was something like +400.

    I bailed on that play at the last minute Baus.

    Glad to see you are profiting on these events.

    My pick of the day will be Canada +197 over Netherlands. Must win game for Canada. They will be starting Brooks McNiven who had a solid year in AA this year in the Giants system.

    Canada has more players with professional experience than Netherlands and their bullpen is well rested.

    I'm also on the runline: Canada +2.5

    Adds up fast too Mudcat.

    I would tail you on this play, but I don't want to jinx you at all.

    Good Luck with Canada today Baus.

    Canada beat Netherlands 7-1.

    I'm 4-0 so far on World Cup action. Now Pinnacle doesn't seem to be offering it anymore???

    I knew I should have followed you on that one Baus.

    Glad to see your doing so well on this event.

    Thanks Bigboydan. Never mind what I said earlier....there are no games scheduled today. I hope Pinnacle continues to offer this event.

    Pinnacle didn't post lines on this for a couple days, but now they are up again. My picks for today are:

    Japan +134 over Australia for $50. I have no idea how they can post Australia as the favorite, so this is an easy one.

    Korea +520 over USA for $25. I'm banking on Korea starting some left-handed thumber tossing up the 78 mph slop and baffling the US hitters.

    Looks like you got one hell of a price on Japan on this game Baus. I see it's currently +118 at Pinnacle.

    Japan over Australia 3-0. This puts me at 5-0 on World Cup wagers so far. $218 profit.

    If Korea can beat USA, this will have been a nice little experiment.

    I knew I should have started tailing you a few games ago.

    Congrats on your hot streak on these events Baus.

    I am on: Mexico +276 over Australia, Korea +202 over Taipei, and Japan +316 over Cuba.

    I figure 2 out of these 3 might win.

    Korea beat Taipei 3-0 for my only win. I lost the other 2 bets. I made $0.50 for my troubles.

    I am on Mexico +176, Japan -126, and Korea +250.

    I'm considering laying a little more on Korea.

    Cuba just went from -160 to -191 in about 2 minutes...they have won every World Cup since 1981...

    I see that streak ended Baus. The U.S. defeated Cuba.

    All 3 of these picks above cashed for me.

    I ended up shying away from Cuba. Couldn't lay that much chalk. If I could have gotten in at -160 I would have, but the line moved too fast.
