Wind is 3-0

This may be the only way I ever bet a Cubs game again

Ya I've been watching it for a couple years now, and can't recall ever losing a bet against the wind, which is ridiculous of course, but I always feel pretty comfortable, especially with that 21 MPH today, remember I am making 10 MPH the cutoff otherwise I feel it won't do enough to sway the results.

I actually put $200 on it today since I was getting even money, but for the purposes of proper tracking I am just playing to win 100, whatever the juice may be.

Playing the Wind YTD:

3-0   +300

Keep us posted, I played the under two days ago and lost it by the fourth inning, lol. I keep thinking the cubs can't hit but i forget their pitching staff is awful most days.

Wind is listed as blowing left to right at 18 MPH tomorrow.  I feel that is as good as blowing in as all balls hit to left will be held up.  I will double check in the morning before posting my bet.

thx again joker  , i bet on the over today due to yr system and it did help me to make some . It was 9.5 runs when i made the bet and i know it's 10 runs before. Dickey + 2 teams can't hit really hold me back but i believe in u ( and the wind ).

Keep us inform tomorrow & let's win some  together.....

20 mph? That's sounds like a over bet but i'll stick with my bud to bet under.

It is blowing across the field, I got it at 18 MPH but 20 is close enough.  The wind is blowing from left to right, which means any balls hit to left or center will be held up by the wind, that is why I took the under.

i actually didn't make the bet on today's gm bcoz it's 8.5 from my booker. I don't like the number so i took NYY over instead  

They said it's 20mph at NY......worth a try

Not sure if the wind helps at any other stadiums, but as I am showing it has a huge impact on cubs home games. 

Too bad you didn't get your bet in on time. 5-3 final today. Perfect on this homestand so far.

Nice hit again, put this small in a parlay, gotta say I was sweatin the 8th with the bases loaded and 1 out but Mets got out of it with two huge strikeouts to save the under.

The wind knows all.

No play today 9-5-10, wind is blowing in at just 7 MPH from right, doesn't met the requirements.

I've been to cub games when the wind is howling out. You have to see it to believe it. Saw a 23 to 21 game(long time ago), a 17-15 game, and a 13-12 game, and I don't go to many games. Routine fly balls take off like frisbees.  IF the pitchers are sharp the hitters don't get the chance, but average pitching gets absolutely crushed.

1987 I watch a lot of baseball, and have never noticed the wind affect like I do at wrigley.  Not sure why it seems to matter more there, but I won't be the wind at any other park except Wrigley. 

Maybe the green monster blocks some wind.. who knows.

They call Chicago the windy city for a reason. Not too bad when it gets really hot but spring and winter here have some days when the wind gets real irratating(excluding Cub overs of course)
