Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I don't give financial advice but if I were doing so, this would be my advice. You can feed an African nation for 3 years on the money you can make off these assholes.

-Live bet them,
-wait til they get a lead and fade them
-you are getting a plus money bet most nights against the worst bullpen in baseball (and an offense that doesn't have the ability to come back often).

Nothing wins 100% but at plus money, you don't have to.
I can attest to this theory especially since mid May

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I won a bunch of bets a few years ago waiting for the White Sox to get a lead, then betting they would blow it. It seems like the Reds have a better offense (somehow) and a much worse bullpen. So that's what I'll be doing till CFB season.

Fuck Kriby Hocutt. We all know that if this guy were a 3rd string center, he'd be long gone. And maybe TT didn't fund the lawsuit, but your most powerful booster who controls the AD and the board sure as shit did. And while your President my not be doing this because he's Santa Ono and just wants to sniff football player musk, he's sure as shit is playing ball because if he shows any real independent action and integrity, that booster would run him out of west tejas on a rail.
Yep the statement earlier sounded like they were going to pull the old oh he didn't clear rehab and keep from playing but as as it's more and more of it comes out nope that was selectively cut out of a bigger thing to make it look a certain way

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Sound like Captain Obvious (even to me), so this weight thing seems to be constant throughout the season. Gotta be tough. Except for the HWT division, these competitors do look like 'slim, trim, fighting machines', with zero excess body fat. I'd probably want to be HWT, and look like a sumo wrestler. Couldn't do what these kids do....

Wrestlers are consistently the hardest working athletes I know, and some of the best people in general because of that.
They are also the most miserable to be around during the season :lol:

I know many C-Suites who will hire wrestlers (college at any level) over just about any candidate because the grind you mentioned teaches them self discipline and control like few other things can. How their availability impacts the team, the day to day practice grind, very little accolades, etc. all make for eventual business leaders.

They did nail the guy and the NCAA followed their own rules and suspended him. Then the oil guy bought a friendly local judge. If the legal system can keep on chugging along then I don't see how this is a line in the sand/referendum on the CFB system. How is the integrity of the game (whatever that means) affected?

CFB is innocent, the lawyers fucked them.

People can be mad at that but all the histrionics (not you-what I hear/see in the sports news world) is what's missing the point

At the end of the day, show me a CFB rule that hasn't been violated more than @Thump mom. It's more popular than ever. People on here are all getting older and were raving nut job fans at one point in their lives-maybe we are all just more and more disinterested because we're changing too.

I look and see the legal system continuing on. I see government thriving. So compared to those two institutions, I think something as mildly dysfunctional as CFB is going to be just fine.
What an incredibly bizarre position to take on this situation. "Hey, other people have broken the rules in the past. You should stop caring and let them do it unimpeded"

You are equating punishment of this guy to deterrence for others and I don't necessarily think that is a true statement.

If people are going to point shave, throw games in this day and age of legalized betting with all the ways they can catch you doing it then I would submit they are going to do it no matter what.

They have nailed guys in the NFL recently for legally gambling on non NFL games. They nailed the Cleveland pitchers. Pete Rose got a lifetime ban, all the other examples that have been thrown around and yet, this guy went and gambled on sports while being an athlete anyway. It seems as though he was not deterred by immediate punishment of other athletes and neither will the next guy be if they ended Sorsby's career yesterday.

The second part of "How can I ever bet on this sport again" is overly dramatic. If the only way you are comfortable placing a bet is on a sport that you think is safe from manipulation, you are better off not betting. Every major sport has had, and will continue to have, betting scandals. You cannot eliminate it so acting like this is some kind of breach of the public trust is a leap Evil Knievel would think twice about.

We are all a little salty at the TT oil baron for gaming the system.

The faux moral outrage over gambling/sports integrity and the like is just theatre.

You neglected to mention players who are deterred from gambling due to potential punishment, but that isn't as easily quantifiable. Maybe I'm missing your point, but I don't think because some people break the rules means they are inconsequential or unneeded. People break laws all the time. Should we just stop having them because they aren't enforced to perfection or have a 100% preventative effect?

And what makes it "faux" moral outrage? I don't understand why you are try to delegitimize people upset that those expected to uphold justice are failing at their duties. Seems like some form of edgy Gen-X apathy that we should all stop caring how corrupt the world is and not push back.

Acting like he’s on fucking methadone coming off of H is too fucking rich. :lol:

I’m not going to pretend gambling addiction isn’t real because I definitely know some people that have ruined their lives with it, but god damn…..let’s not pretend like they were plying you with naloxone when you were dying, bro.
Agreed. Boohoohoo I have a gambling addition. Fuck him and fuck TT.

Brown, meanwhile, was Ohio State's first pledge in the 2027 class, committing to the Buckeyes on Nov. 23, 2024. The 6-foot-1, 170-pound pass catcher also earned MaxPreps Junior All-American honors after leading Wayne High School (Huber Heights, Ohio) with 73 receptions for 1,009 yards and 12 total touchdowns. Like Jacobs, Brown participated in both the Under Armour All-America Game and Polynesian Bowl, recording a 23-yard reception in the latter.

Brown chose Ohio State over offers from programs such as Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State and Tennessee. He told Eleven Warriors on May 10 that he shut down his recruitment and will sign with the Buckeyes in December.
