FCBBS World Series Game 5

We sit just one win away from yet another insanely profitable season for the Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System. Last night went according to plan once again as the hapless Cubs can't handle the pressure of playing World Series games in front of the home crowd. We are now up an incredible 5,998.5 units for the postseason.

Tonight is a tough match-up for us in that we don't have a 100% likelihood of winning the bet like we did last night. With the Indians about +210 and facing John Lester tonight, we think our chances are closer to 75% so we'll tone the bet size back a bit to keep some powder dry to fire away if the series gets back to Cleveland. We would like to be at full strength for a 100% play on Kulber in Game 7 if the Cubs were to pull something out of their asses the next two games.

However, at the moment the only thing coming out of Cub asses, and really Cub everywhere, is filthy, stinky excrement. The lineup is poopy, the bullpen is poopy, Jim Lackey was poopy (plus he's so old he probably wears adult diapers by now anyway).

When you look at the Cubs, there's not much to like right now. Every player in the lineup looks baffled at the plate, trying to do too much, which results in doing nothing. Like I've said since the beginning of the playoffs...this team is too young and too inexperienced to win the whole thing this year. They might be the better team on paper, but the Indians are by far the smarter team, and Tony Francona has managed circles around John Madden (like I said he would before Game 1). It's men versus boys out there and the boys in Cubbie blue are no match for the men in red face.

We like but don't love our spot here...only a 75% chance of winning by our estimates, but at +210 odds there is incredible value. Troy Brouwer is looking to avenge his Game 2 loss in the Cleve and what better way to do that than clinch the series at Wrigley for the Tribe.

We see the Indians burying the tomahawk in the Cubs' heart tonight.

Indians (Bauer) +210 (CRIS) risking 3000 units to win 6300 units

FCBBS World Series Game 4

You just have to love when a plan comes together. Last night each of my three points was fulfilled to perfection and we are now up a whopping 1,248.5 units for the postseason.

Tonight is the best bet I have ever seen in my entire life. When the Stardust opened Indians (Kluber) +121 last night I thought it either a misprint or Roxy Roxborough was on crack.  I can't confirm or deny the latter, but the former is not a misprint. Not surprisingly, the line has been bet down but we're still getting plus odds on the best pitcher in baseball against the Cubs washed up #4 Jim Lackey, who is still probably nursing a hangover from last Saturday.

I really don't know what to say to justify this bet other than that. The Cubs got shutout for the FOURTH time this postseason last night against some no-name guy Mike Tomlin. The bats are afraid, the pressure is too high and the implosion continues tonight....


....AND WE FIRE

Indians (Kluber) +114 (Golden Nugget) RISKING 5,000 units to win 5,700 units


People, this is where the Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System really hits its stride. Sometimes it can take a little while to get here, but if you ride it out the rewards are immeasurable.

FCBBS World Series Game 3

We took the L on Wednesday but are still up 298.5 units this postseason heading into Game 3 at Wrigley Field. Outside of the Cody Kulber starts, I can't think of a better spot than this one. All of the variables are lined up in our favor.

1. According to CBS this will be the first time the city of Chicago has hosted a World Series game since 1945! And according to ESPN the last time a team from Chicago won the World Series was 1908! Holy smokes!  With all this anticipation and excitement, you have to know that this young, inexperienced Cubs club is going to be amped up and try to do too much...be too anxious at the plate, too anxious to attack hitters and everyone on the team is going to be looking to deliver an early knock-out punch. This will backfire and the cool, calm and reserved Indians will take advantage in a big way.

2. Mike Tomlin is angry. Mike Tomlin is very angry. Tonight's starting pitcher for the Indians is angry because of the disrespect he's getting in the betting markets for tonight's game. The Cubs are listed as -200 favorites across the board and this is mostly because the Chicago public are high on their Cubbies. Those who can't spend $3k to go to the game will instead risk it at -200 tonight. Tomlin won't have any of that and when he gets upset, LOOK OUT.

3. The Cubs are 0-2 in Game 3s this postseason and there is no reason to expect this trend to stop any time soon.

The over-amped Cubs + an angry Tomlin + a long-standing trend =  Trouble in Chi-town tonight.

WE FIRE

Indians (Tomlin) +190 (Cantor) 500 units to win 950 units

FCBBS World Series Game 2

If I had a dollar every time Harry Caray told a Cubs player to "grab some bench" last night, I'd be able to buy another yacht. Unfortunately, I don't get paid based off what Harry Caray says in the announcer's booth, but I do get paid fading Chicago baseball teams and after last night's windfall I could buy the Spanish Armada with the 998.5 units we're up this postseason.

Cody Kluber took the Cubs straight to pound town and delivered their THIRD shutout loss of the postseason. Kluber is penciled in to pitch games 4 and 7, which means the Indians just need to win one non-Kluber game to basically wrap this thing up.

Tonight, Cleveland throws Trevor Brauer against the Cubs' former ace Jack Arrieta. Arrieta has been Arrietic this postseason with a couple of less-than-impressive starts against the Giants and Dodgers. Brauer on the other hand (and this point he probably wishes he had an actual other hand) got his finger bombed off in a drone strike #ThanksObama. There was word that former hurler Antonio Alfonseca would lend one of his extra fingers to Brauer but the two parties couldn't come to terms. So, could be tough for Brauer tonight, but to his advantage, the Cubs are still in a figurative and literal hangover from Saturday night so he should have smooth sailing through their impotent lineup.

Jobu take fear from Indian bats and give to Cub bats.

WE FIRE

Indians (Bauer) +127 risking 700 units to win 889 units

FCBBS World Series Game 1

Tough one for us on Saturday night. Kershaw didn't have his best stuff and the Dodgers couldn't get anything going against Hendrickson so we drop to -6,351.5 units on the postseason. Some people might be miffed by that number but the (young and inexperienced) Cubs are now in uncharted waters. Not a single person alive today was alive the last time the Cubs played in the World Series so this is truly historic - and will also be a historic letdown for Chicago when Chief Yahoo and his tribe of savages led by Cody Kluber scalp the Cubs in 4, maybe 5 games. Needless to say, we LOVE our spot here and are prepared to FIRE.

Speaking of Cody Kluber, he'll be on the bump for the Indians tonight on double rest. This injury-ravaged club has overcome insurmountable odds to make it this far, and now with the opportunity to rest for weeks and scout the Cubs, they are ready to rock and roll.  In the meantime, the Cubs have been partying like they've already won the damn thing (guess what...they haven't). In the postgame interview, Cubs manager John Madden said he was looking forward to watching football this past weekend. Seriously, dude? I know you used to coach the Raiders but you sort of have another series to prep for. While Madden was watching football and the Cubs players were drinking and smoking their asses off, the Indians studied game film and practiced playing baseball, just further increasing their already intense focus for this series. Tony Francona is going manage circles around grass-smoking, football watching, dirty hippie John Madden. I expect a Cleveland clinic put forth in the dugout and on the playing field.

Tonight, the Cubs once again trot out the old miracle worker John Lester. Even I admit Lester has been pretty damn good this postseason, but like I've said before, he isn't getting any younger and eventually Father Time will start to kick-in. There are only so many times in a row you can have a good outing and Lester is way overdue for a bad one. The bad outing happens TONIGHT.

The Dodgers decided to not steal bases against Lester because that series was rigged for the Cubs to win (I have sources deep inside the media-industrial complex that confirm this fact). However, this series isn't rigged so they can drag out the curse for one more season, thus you can expect fair play. The key for Cleveland will be their ability to cause major porblems on the basepaths early on. If Hayes can focus on making contact instead of swinging for the fences, he'll be able to go first to third with no issues against David Russ. And if you're Lester and the Cubs, you do NOT want to face Cerrano with guys on base. Finally, if the Indians lead late, they will hand the ball to Vaughn, who is lights out when he can locate the terminator.

Great spot here tonight as we get plus-odds on the Indians. Our model has this about Indians -155.

Indians (Kluber) +105 (Cantor/South Point) Risking 7,000 units to win 7,350 units

FCBBS NLCS Game 6

Going into our biggest play of the postseason we are down a measly 1.5 units and I cannot express my excitement enough about tonight's play.

1. We have the best pitcher in baseball on the mound for the Dodgers tonight. Coltrane Kershaw has been unhittable this postseason and for the first time he is pitching on full rest. The Cubs are listed at +122 right now on Pinnacle, but I think that's closer to the fair odds of them just scoring in the game.

2. This is Game 6 of the NLCS. Remember what happened last time the Cubs had a 3-2 NLCS lead? Bartman. Gonzalez. BERNIE MAC. This also happened THIRTEEN years ago and 13 is an unlucky number. I see NO REASON why something similar to that night won't happen this time around.

Let's recap that night, though, shall we? It was one of those times you'll never forget where you were, and one of those times I'll never forget how much money I made (a lot) on the 2003 rendition of the Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System.

It's the middle of the 7th and Bernie Mac sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." Instead of singing "root root root for the Cubbies" he sings "root root root for the champions." Big uh-oh right there.

Then in the top of the 8th with the Cubs up 3-0 and 1 out, I'll never forget Harry Caray's famous call...

"And Prior delivers to Castillo....he hits a duck snort down the line in shallow left...should be a can o' corn for Alou...he's under it and...A fan knocks it out of the air! DADGUMMIT!"

Castillo would walk and Juan Pierre, who advanced to third, would eventually score on a base hit by Ivan Rodriguez. Miguel Cabrera then came to the plate with runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, and created what SHOULD BE the play that is remembered by everyone. I'll let Harry take it again from here...

"Cabrera steps in...and the pitch from Prior...chopper two hopper to Gonzalez at short. Should be two..he bobbles it! Everybody is safe! YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPIN ME!"

When the damage was done, the Marlins scored 8 runs in the inning and delivered the death blow to the Cubs dreams in 2003.

Tonight, we deliver a death blow of our own - to your bookie. It's situations like this where the Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System just goes to another level.

Dodgers (Kershaw) -128 (Bovada) risking 6,350 units to win 5,000 units. Keep in mind one unit is $100 so you'll need about 10,000 different Bovada accounts to get the proper size down.



 

FCBBS NLCS Game 5

It turns out the rotting carcass known as the Chicago Cubs lineup still has a few breaths left in it. Very well. The Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System is more than happy to play hardball. One game with some lucky bounces (not to mention FOUR Dodger errors) is an aberration. These hitters are still hot garbage this postseason and there is no reason to expect that to not continue.

Tonight we have a tough one our hands as the Cubs throw John Lester and the Dodgers trot out Kent Madea. Lester has given the Cubs some solid outings but keep in mind he's not getting any younger so he can't keep doing this forever. Madea is a bit of a wild card but we love our plus-odds opportunity here.  Also, Colton Kershaw will be pitching in Game 6, which is a 100% chance of Dodger victory so if we lose tonight (which we don't expect to, of course), we will more than make up for it on Saturday. If we win tonight, we will fire like we've never fired before on a game on Saturday night. You do NOT want to miss out on what we have in store for that one.

For tonight: Dodgers (Maeda) +153 (South Point) 80 units

FCBBS NLCS Game 4

Another sad excuse of a performance by the Cubs last night and the FCBBS is now up a whopping 78.5 units on the postseason. The Cubs offense is so bad, it couldn't hit water if it fell out of a boat. If the Cubs can't hit soft-tossing Rick Hill, they stand no chance tonight against Jose Urias. Last season Hill played for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League. Now, I played baseball into my early 20s and the league I played in is about the equivalent of the Atlantic League. I'd have just a good of a chance of hitting Hill as Bryant and Baez and probably three times as good of a chance as Rizzo, Russell and the rest of the losers in that lineup. John Madden has my number and I'd be ready to join the roster except for the whole betting on baseball thing I do that the league sort of looks down upon.

The Cubs are so pathetic that I almost feel bad for them. I say almost because I am making such an obscene amount of money for myself and my clients by fading them this postseason (like all postseasons) and I implore you to get on board.  People have told me that the Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System is "remarkably stupid" and "completely idiotic" but the only stupid idiots are those who aren't following it.

Tonight, the noose tightens further around your bookie's neck

Dodgers (Urias) -103 Risking 103 units to win 100.

Enjoy the windfall, ladies.

FCBBS NLCS Game 3

We are back on track and back in the black for the postseason, now up 27 units after Carlton Kershaw shut the door on the Cubs in game 2, and likely shut the door on the entire Cubs season.

The series now shifts over to Los Angeles for the next three games, where the Dodgers are energized to be playing in front of the home town crowd. The atmosphere will be electric and extremely intimidating for this young Cubs club. Very few teams in any sport leave LA with a victory these days. As everyone knows, Los Angeles has the most rabid sports fans of any city in the country and possibly the world.

Not only do the Cubs have to survive playing three straight in the snake pit known as Dodgers Park, they also have to somehow win one! A team with no offense and no bullpen will not accomplish this impossible feat and no reasonable person can argue otherwise.

Harry Caray would say the rest of this series for the Dodgers is "a can o' corn."

We continue to apply pressure to your bookie like an anaconda does to a feral pig

Dodgers (Hill) +103 50 units.

FCBBS NLCS Game 2

In San Francisco we got Romoed. Last night we got Blantoned. These bullpens are KILLING US. However, tonight we have the greatest pitcher in the game of baseball on the mound for the Dodgers: COLTON KERSHAW. The Cubs have already proven that they can't hang with a team's ace this postseason, since their one loss was against Madinson Bumgartner in the NLDS. Tonight they get Kershaw and the Dodgers are out for revenge and angry after last night's 8th inning embarrassment. ADditionally, a little bird informed me that basically the entire middle of the Cubs lineup was out late doing shot-skis at Trader Todd's Adventure Bar on Sheffield last night in between their karaoke performances of Laura Brannigan's "Gloria" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer." YIKES. HOw can you not like the DOdgers in this spot?

This is my most confident play of the entire postseason and we are going BIG.

Dodgers (Kershaw) -125 risking 62.5 units to win 50 units.

FCBBS NLCS Game 1

tough one for us in the nlds. The Giants pen imploded in the top of the 9th and let the Cubs steal the win. no matter. The real money is made in the NLCS anyway and we FIrE on game 1 tonight. The last time the Cubs played the Dodgers in the playoffs, the Dodgers swept them 3-0 and I see something similar happening this time too. Cubs are fresh off about 5 days straight of partying and will be rusty. Jon Lester won't give you the performance he gave last time plus he's super rusty.

Meanwhile the Dodgers are riding high after a huge game 5 win in Washington. They are laser focused and ready to rock with Kenya Mazda on the hill tonight. This is a great place to fire a 10 dime bet and we do it here

Dodgers (maeda) +188 risk $1000

Roger Dodger!

FCBBS Game 4

A huge winner for us last night. As predicted, the Giants won an absolute laugher in 13 innings, which now takes us to +7 units on the 2016 Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System.

We have more to come tonight as the Cubs are in FREE FALL MODE after choking away a three-run lead in San Francisco last night. One too many hash pipes were passed in the Cubs dugout in celebration of ARrieta's massive dong. Now the Cubs and their fans are reeling. This is all too familiar now. In 1984, the Cubs blew a 2-0 playoff lead to another West Coast team - the San Diego Padres. This year will be the same San choke, but Francisco instead of Diego.. Also keep in mind it's the Giants in an even-numbered year. Also keep in mind that Giants manager Bob Botchy is 10-0 in elimination games. Everything is coming up Giant, not the least of which is our bet size...tonight I unleash my TWENTY UNIT CUBS CHOKER HEIMLICH HEBREW (Happy Yom Kippur!) HAMMER on your bookie.

Giants (Moore) +111 risk $2000 to win $2220.

FCBBS GAme 3

This is going to be the biggest winner of the year. I'm surprised the Cubs even decided to play the game instead of take an L and rest everyone for Game 4. From the Cubs perspective, there really is no reason to even bother with this one. Madison Bumgartner is pitching for the Giants. In October, he is completely unhittable.What are the Cubs thinking? Who knows....but it's a good thing they aren't because we are going to make such an ungodly amount of money tonight. Not only is the game being played, Pinnacle has the Giants at -104!!!!!! INSANE.  My models have the Giants at about -3500 so we have an enormous edge on this one.

What's happening here is the eternal optimist Cubs public is moving these lines way out of whack. As we all know, the public is usually wrong, and this time will be no exception.

Not only do the Cubs face Bumgartner tonight, but they've also been in San Francisco for a few days now. A young man can get himself into a lot of trouble in this city. A few springs ago I myself was walking around the Haight/AShbury area with some friends of mine. My friends wanted to score some bubonic chronic  (I don't do the whole mary jane thing - MESS YOU UP - i dont need that you know?) from the fine hippies sleeping on sidewalks. One of my friends is an experienced dumpster diver and he scavenged an unopened chocolate advent calendar from the previous year, which he used to barter with the hippies in order to find the dankest of the combustable herbage. What he purchased instead was some filthy shwag and a side order shrooms which later caused hallucinations of yellow flashes skiing unoccupied backcountry at Mammoth Mountain.

So now imagine you are a young man with actual financial resources wandering around this area. If a rotted out 15 month old chocolate advent calendar can get you that messed up, what could cash do? This is where the Cubs need to be careful. Unfortunately for them, the team is too inexperienced and over-confident. You can't just roll into AT&T Park against Bumgartner a few hours after hitting some spliffies and expect to win the game. Jack Arrieta is a great pitcher and all, but he's no Bumgartner and toking a few doobers ain't gonna turn him into one. Also, just imagine John Madden stoned...it wouldn't surprise me if we saw Dexter Fowler pitching, Tommy LaStella behind the plate and Kyle Schwarber pinch-running.

The Cubs dugout will have the giggles all night, but the only ones laughing at the end of the game will be the Giants and those who bet on the Giants. I was going to make this a ten-dime play, but with the ridiculous price we have now, this is going to be a

QUINDECUPLE DIME BOOKIE SMOKER SPECIAL.

Giants -104 Risking $1560 to win $1500

FCBBS - Game 2 Edition

A tough one for us last night as the Giants couldn't really get anything going. However, nobody said this was going to be easy. But by the time it's over it will be profitable so just hang on for the ride.

Tonight, the Giants have Jeff Samrardjiza on the mound. Jeff is looking to exact revenge on his old team tonight so he will be extra motivated to pitch at a high level. Meanwhile, the Cubs throw (more like softly toss in this case) Kyle Hendrick - he of the 80 mile per hour fastball. While Hendrick does have the lowest ERA, the rule of thumb in baseball is guys who throw 80 get battered, so to speak. Tonight Kyle gets is come-uppance. Expect a lot of runs and the Giants to win, probably 12-5. We're firing a QUINTUPLE DIME bet on this one and it will be an easy win. We will be up money heading to San Francisco and Bumhunter in Game 3, where WE WILL FIRE LARGE.

Giants (Samardizja) +168 5x

Cheers

The Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System - 2016 Postseason Edition

Welcome back to the Fade Chicago Baseball Betting System (FCBBS)! We have been laying low for nearly an entire year waiting for the perfect time to pounce on your bookie.

By sitting and watching during the Cubs' 103-win regular season, we kept the gunpowder dry, but tonight and this entire month (well, at least the next three games) there is too much value so WE FIRE!!!!

I was originally going to release this play as a rare Game 1 double-dime bet, but I am so confident with this play and even more confident in my methodology, that this will be an UNHEARD OF GAME ONE TRIPLE-DIME PLAY!!!

Tonight we are on the Giants (Cueto) +155 (5Dimes) at Cubs (Lester) Risking $300

People, this is the ONLY betting system that has turned a profit EVERY. SINGLE. SEASON. Last season we put your bookie on life support after blowing him away four-straight on the Mets in the NLCS.  The only difference this postseason is that you will make even MORE money. Here's why...

1. The Giants in even-numbered years are unbeatable in the postseason. The Giants winning in even-numbered years is basically as reliable as the sun coming up tomorrow.

2. An extension of this is Madison Bumhunter is is unhittable. The Cubs only have to face him once, but you can pencil in a Giants W in game three. Not sure why they'll even play the game.

3. This Cubs team, as good as they were in the regular season, have basically just been partying for the last month. Eventually that catches up to you. They're still too young and too inexperienced, and when you booze it up and smoke grass and whatever else every day like you've won the damn World Series in August, it will come back to haunt you. I think it's pretty safe to assume the Cubs aren't taking the Giants seriously and they - and your bookie - are in for a rude awakening.

For tonight's game, Giants manager Bob Botchy has his #2 man Joey Cueto on the hill. Cueto has struggled in the second half but he is ready to progress to the mean. Tonight he does it. Meanwhile, Cubs skipper John Madden has his namesake John Lester on the mound. Lester has been solid this year but when the Giants get a man on base, he essentially has a free pass to third because Lester has the yips. How come I don't get paid $150 million to play baseball? I have a better pick-off move than this schmo (I also make way more than that fading the Cubs in the playoffs).

In the words of the late great Cubs announcer, Harry Carrey: "Sit back, relax and strap it down!"

Enjoy the game, and enjoy the free money.
