First post here, but I wanted to offer something that worked for me when my team was in the post season in 2006. I don't know how many of you bet online, or have access to it, but I did at that time. I was so worried, sick in fact, that we would never win a game. To offset my worries, I placed fairly large bets on the opposing team, for a win win situation. Of course, no amount of money could replace my wanting to win the World Series, so I was not afraid to go as high as I could go without hurting the family finances. I would always take the series bet, and individual games. I had a pretty good system going, and I think you could too. With the Cubs the favorites, the odds for the opposing team will be good. They were for me in 2004 and 2005 also. (I did the same thing then) Now you may think betting against your team is a sin, but if your team is going to lose, shouldn't you at least be paid for your sorrow? I just KNEW that the baseball Gods did not want my team to win the world series, so I really went all out when we actually got to the World Series. I figured I would end up rich, or I would end up with my dream come true. In 2004, and 2005, I ended up pretty rich. In 2006, my dream came true. Yep, I am a girl Cardinal fan, and read these boards faithfully. I feel your pain, I really do. So why not be paid for it? Just a thought. Deb
