Should I be concerned about my $10,000 bet on the Cubs to win the World Series?

Question

The Brewers have won 7 straight games and are just one game back. They just acquired Sabbathia and he is pitching lights out.

Can the Cubs hang on and win the World Series or will the Brewers pull another '69 Mets?

Answer 1

I think Brewers are gonna take the division without a doubt. You gotta hope that the Cubs make Wild Card, but they will have to compete with the Cards for it. I dunno if the Cubs will make it to the playoffs.

Answer 2

If  I were you...I'd be filling out a passport right about now. You are going to have to change your identity and flee the country if you really did put down $10k on the Cubs. People are coming after you!

Answer 3

cubs are going to win the world series

Answer 4

yes you should cause the mets are gonna win anyway

Answer 5

Yes.  What a waste of money.

Even though I'm a diehard Brewers fan, that's still a really really dumb idea.  

I think the Cubs could make the Wild Card, but I don't think they'll finish first in the division, and I don't think they'll make it to the World Series.  Remember what happened when they made the playoffs last year?  I was at home upset that it wasn't the Brewers in the Cubs spot because we had beaten Arizona so many times over the '07 season!

Answer 6

It's not gonna happen!  Better luck next year!  Hopefully you'll get good enough odds for the next 30 or 40 years to make up whatever you loses are gonna be!  I'm rooting for you!  Cubs deserve to win again!

Answer 7

hmm....thats a very easy question.

Answer 8

I would get a second job ASAP

Answer 9

Uhh yes...

even though they might win the World Series, that is NOT a smart bet...

Answer 10

umm yea i see them getting in the playoffs but they seem to need another piece to go over the top kiss10k good bye!

Answer 11

Of course, there isn't a person here who actually believes you bet $10,000 on baseball. Anyone who can afford to throw away $10,000 like that, isn't spending all their time in yahoo answers asking biting questions like "What was Eddie Murphy's last good movie."

Answer 12

I wouldn't be as concerned about the Cubs winning as I would be about your gambling problem. Check out Gamblers Anonymous asap because you definitely have a problem if you bet on the Cubs!!!

Answer 13

Yes, because the Brew Crew and the Cards are right behind them and what if the Brew Crew and the Cards take the Cubbies out of the playoffs. Why would you bet that much money on a baseball team, better get a job reall fast. I hope they do win because it is the 100th anniversary of the team and what a site it would be to win the WS.

Answer 14

you should be worried you even bet 10000 dollars

the cubs won't hang on

the cardinals will win it all:O

Answer 15

Yes the cubs are always horrible in the playoffs and it'll not change. Get a second job or something cuz you're gonna owe a lot of bucks.

Answer 16

Yes.The Brewers are not going anywhere and their recent sweep of the cool Cards has them surging.

If the Cubs can get more Run production they have a good chance of holding on to the division.

I'm out peace.

Answer 17

I got two words for you

Pay up

Answer 18

nope, they wont. they dont have the bat endurance and they dont have the defensive endurance to last it out either

Answer 19

Baseball is a game of streaks.

Besides, both teams can still make the playoffs, where anything can happen (see 2006 Cardinals).

I wouldn't worry yet.

Answer 20

I would but then again, I wouldn't bet that much $$$. Cubs can win but I still say they don't but good luck dude
