again another huge win for the Indians and just like game 1 it sets up
for a great opportunity to bet the cubs game 4.

I can see this going back and forth. I think if you play cubs game 4
and if they lose double it game 5. Like an arb bet. I don't see them losing
4-1 and losing all 3 at home.

Yeah it was a huge win for the Indians and not only did they win huge but so did Vegas. The Cubs were odds were coming in right up to the start of the game so a lot of money was waged on the Cubs last night. They were too short for me at the money line and that's why I went with the -1.5 point spread. Even though I lost I'm well in front in the series so far as I won on the first 2 games and I also have either team to win the World Series. The Cubs are at much better odds for tonight's game around the $1.80 mark, I'm still deciding on who to put my money on. It should be noted that Game 4 is where the "Curse of the Billygoat" began for the Cubs in 1945, 71-years ago. Can they win tonight a break the curse?

I might just sit this one out and see what happens.

I think the Chicago Cubs win tonight however I don't like the odds for the money line so I am going to take a risk and take a bet on -1.5 runs. The Cubs would want to win their 1st home game of the World Series and take a 2-1 lead in the series. So far in the 2 games both teams have blown out the opposition so I'm hoping the Cubs do it again.

I thought I would take the cubs to tie it up 1-1 but wow the line
was ridiculous. Even if the cubs win I still couldn't justify laying that
much odds on the road vs a solid team.

I know what you mean but $1.73 were pretty good odds for me and I'm glad I did take them as the Cubs won easily and never really looked like loosing. This will make the series interesting now that they are both locked at 1-1 and the next 3 games are played in Chicago so either the Cubs wrapped it up at home or Cleveland get a road win and take it back to Cleveland. Could will see a 7 game series like I am expecting?

Re game 1. I did not expect Kluber to do very well for the Indians in the first game. But the Chicago Cubs' hitter also looked like there was a certain meekness with them. They were not aggressive enough and kept waiting for the right moment. They should have tried to score runs when it was 0 - 2 and risked being striked out.

Game 2 is much better.

In game 2 tonight I like the Cubs and so I decided to put a bet on them at the money line $1.73 I think they can bounce back from last night's blow up and square up the series 1-1 heading into game 3 on the Cubs home field.

Good luck to everyone who has a bet on the game.

Cleveland won easy tonight 6-0 and they finally scored 3 home runs after the 7th inning which they haven't been able to do this post season. It was a nice hit for me as I got them on @2.10 ML and by the time the game started Cleveland were the favorites so some big money must of come late for them at the ML.

Well tonight is the 1st game of the World Series like we all know already and I decided to put a bet on Cleveland money line @2.10 and lucky I did as they are almost equal favorites now with the Cubs so this tells me that nothing really separates the two teams and that I think it will be a close game. I'm liking Cleveland even more now that they have come in from 2.20 to 1.95 depending on which sportsbook but most have them under 2.00 now.

As I said I'm expecting it to go to game 7 and I did also put a bet on the Cubs to win 4-3

The World Series finally starts today and I feel that the Chicago Cubs should be a decent favorite to win it against the Cleveland Indians. The Cubs were the best team in the regular season and proved that they are the team to beat in the postseason. While the Indians have also done well to make it this far, they have not played a superior team yet, and for that reason, I think the Cubs will win the World Series in 5 games, which will be their first World Series Championship in 108 years!

@Rubberduckie. -220 for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series? Yes I agree that is a little high and with a implied probability of around 69%, it would make sense to bet on the Cubs every game if the odds permit. The 1st game has the Chicago Cubs at -112 in nitrogensports.eu.

I am very excited for this series to start tonight.

I'm expecting this series to go to game 7 only because I think both teams are evenly matched and it will come down to home field advantage so for the 1st game I am liking Cleveland even though they are the underdogs in this game and also I like the odds on offer for Cleveland @2.10

I also like the Cubs to win the series 4 - 3 @4.60 as I'm expecting a 7 game series. But either way I win as I already have both teams to win.

I can't believe the cubs are -220

seems like the odds are way to high and I will have to take the
Indians. Also Indians have 4 vs 3 home games. On the other side I
wouldnt mind cubs finally winning afer being bartman jinxed for years.

@vella85. It was truly a disappointing result. I was always rooting for the Dodgers to win it all this year. Considering everything, I am happy to see the Cubs have the chance to win the World Series. How long has it been since they have won it? Has it been decades long? That is a very long time for a team like them. Kinda like when the Celtics were the dominant force in the NBA a very long time ago. Thing thing that you would only read in the history books.

Yeah it was, the Dodgers were blown out in the last 3 games which was disappointing. I believe it has been 108 years since the Chicago Cubs won the World Series which is a very long time for a team not to win anything.

The Chicago Cubs win and are now into the World Series to face the Cleveland Indians. I think that it would be a great World Series to watch and if I had to pick a winner I think the Cubs will win and break there World Series drought. But either way I don't really care as I have both teams to win anyway so I win money no matter what. I would prefer Cleveland to win as I'll win a lot more but I'm not really fussed.

man I want to take the dodgers tonight but worried the dodgers continue to disappoint
in the playoffs with Kershaw. Plus cubs will be fired up. Almost want to take the cubs as a
dog.

I know how you feel mate and to be honest the Cubs are paying good odds to win the game playing on their home field and I also think the Cubs will be fired up for this game as they know they can clinch the series win tonight. But something is telling me the Dodgers will win.

@vella85. Well that was unexpected. The next game will be at the Dodgers' stadium, correct? I also believe that Clayton Kershaw will be pitching in that game unless I got the wrong information. If Kershaw is pitching then I will be confident that the Dodgers will go thru and play in the world series. But there is also a chance for the Cubs because it is a must win for them. If it was at the home stadium of the Cubs it might be good to bet on them.

Yeah it was, The next game will be at Wrigley Field Chicago and now with the Cubs winning last night they go in with a 3-2 lead and play on their home field where they have been hard to beat. I still give the LA Dodgers a slight chance as they did beat the Cubs in game 2 on the Cubs home field. However the Dodgers have been blown out in their past 2 games with the Cubs winning 10-2 and yesterday 8-4 so they need to turn it around if they have any chance at making the World Series and need to win 2 road games in a row which will be very tough but anything can happen in sports.

By the way Kershaw will be pitching from what I read and currently the Dodgers are favorites to win @1.70 and the Cubs @2.15
