Win total over/under betting lines are out.

For all those that believe the O's will easily win more than 73 games, here is your chance to cash in.

Disclaimer: The O's have failed to reach the over for the last three years.

Man thats tough.

I can see how we'll make the over and I can also see how we'll make the under. Everything is going to have to go right for us to make the over, IMO...and we all know how that rarely happens.

Good thing I'm not a betting man.

The Orioles are on their way to a 86 win season. Bedard rocks, Cabrera comes through, & Loewen shows hes for real. The offense is good enough to win when the pitching is not so hot, and the bullpen becomes dominant.

Orioles pull a good trade at the deadline to bolster the offense some more.

I will even throw money on it. Thats how confident I am that this team will excel this year. I just have a good feeling about this team I havent had for a few years now.

MARK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd never wager through one of these services but I'll put $100 that we'll win more than 73 games.

I think we're easily an 80 win team. Don't get me wrong - there's are scenarios in which I can see us falling short, but they're the exception...

...if I were a betting man...

[Moose Milligan]

I think the thing that keeps me from thinking this team can win 80 or so games is that we've made it a habit to limp/crawl/struggle to the finish line in seemingly every season over the past 4-5 years.

Didn't we close the year out like 4-28 or something in 2004?

Thanks for the link. Might actually make me some money!

Yea, every year I think about betting the over but decide not to. This year I agree with you. 74 wins is definitely doable.

Can you believe that just as many people will take the under? Atleast that is what the line is set for.

73 does seem a bit low. I'd bet money on it, even though I'm not that confident in the Os this year. If the line was 77, then I'd be a bit more worried.

[EddieO's21]

I'd put 100$ that they win over 73 but 200$ that we win less than 82, just not there yet

I'll take your action up to a grand. I'm not sure how we would arrange the escrow, but I'm open to your suggestions.

PM me your contact info.

Betting the over is a good bet IMO. In order for the O's to win less than 73 games their winning percentage would have to be around 45%. To have that kind of a winning percentage their ERA would have to come in at about 5.5 runs/game and they would have to score about 4.5runs /game. I just see this team being a lot better than that.

Last year I started a similar thread when these #s came out. And I believe the total was 73 (or maybe 73.5?). And the general consensus was that we might not break .500 but we would definitely go over the 73. I think maybe only one or two people didn't think the over was a good bet.

Looks like we have a similar consensus this year. Hope we're not wrong again!

With all of the moves we've made this off season, we have to be better. Don't you think?

Yes, actually I do. But I'm just saying that most of us thought we would be better last year and we weren't.
