I mentioned I'd be betting against them today but forgot to add the amount.

4/4 bet: Detroit -1.5 (-110)

@seymourbukz good luck with the under, if you bet it. I think you'll probably need a scoreless 8th and 9th.

Still a small sample size, but it appears that the Sox might actually STINK. 

Looks like I should have bet against them tonight after all. Down 6-1 in the 8th. 

Time to resume betting against them when they go on the road to play in Detroit on Friday.

Ok, that's more like it. Twins win 8-3.

I'm going to lay off today because the weather is bad here in Chicago.

Early thoughts for future bets:

If the White Sox starting pitching is actually legit, the approach of betting against them every game might not be correct but there might be an opportunity for: 1) NRFI bets OR 2) live betting once the White Sox get a lead because their relievers appear to be trash. But, we don't actually know how good their pitching will hold up against good teams, or if there might be an important home/away differential to factor in here. So, the goal is to learn as I go, adjusting strategy so that I end the season with at least $1,000 more than I started based on better against this poverty franchise.

You were sure right about that, NoNeed.

Four games into the season, and the White Sox have a league-leading 0.76 ERA, outscoring opponents 19-5.

But I'm not buying into this poverty franchise. The Twins will show a little pride to win their first game of the season.

This is my thread for White Sox bets. I did well betting against them every game last year. I'm going to be a little more selective this year--but not much. 

I skipped the opening series against the Angels because that team is also trash. So the fun starts tomorrow.

Well it's probably because their "ace" Crochet is pitching tomorrow. Except he hasn't won a game since 6/7, and hasn't pitched more than 4 innings in a game since 6/30. The Sox are going to lose #107 tomorrow.
