Seriously, go to the MVP thread to talk about it.

(But glad you missed the point, previous seasons mean nothing for this season. You don't see anyone else saying that Acuna hitting 40 home runs in a previous season should factor in to this year)

These two along with Soto may become the Mantle/Mays/Snider of our generation. It is great for the game.

If you don't understand that reference because baseball just started in 2018 for you, they all played CF for NY at the same time.

Now, take your Mookie talk to the MVP or Mookie Betts thread

Last comment? You have made two posts since your last comment. Maybe you don't understand that either.

And do people realize that sports betting isn't available everywhere.

That said, had the sportsbook nearest to me not been shut down the entire season, I would have money on it. But the odds were never favorable enough to make a 3+ hour each way trip to the next closest book

Imagine telling someone to put their money where their mouth is when his odds are -2500. A $100 bet would you win $4. You'd probably make more just doing the Topps Buyback program.

Anyways, congrats to Acuna. In 2020 I thought he would be as good or better than Trout. He's well on his way.

A 10k or more lock seems to be worth a 6 hour drive, but your time must be more valuable than that.

Sports betting is available everywhere. You just have to know how to do it.

You are wrong on so many levels. Stop talking

boston12 · 09-22-2023, 06:57 PM

Wait. I love me some Mookie. But people are trying to argue Mookie for MVP? Ummm ok

PLB9eight · 09-22-2023, 06:57 PM

Boom!

A $10K bet at -2500 would pay out $400 in winnings... so, no, it would not be worth a 6-hour drive.

What planet are you on?

You're either:
(a) a Mookie homer
(b) put money on Mookie already
(c) bought tons of 2023 chrome Mookie
(d) just trolling at this point

I am not arguing Mookie for MVP. I am saying there is an argument, rather than it is already decided. Acuna in the last 2 weeks has made it shift that direction but there are still some games to go and 4 of those are in Colorado for Betts.

prodigylush · 09-22-2023, 07:02 PM

I came for Acuna card porn. Why are we discussing Mookie Betts?

It's not close anymore, there's nothing to discuss. I love Mookie and I'm not even being a biased hardcore Braves/Acuna fan lol there's no debate now.

You obviously do NOT know how to do it

I bought in Acuna MVP at +650 and again at +550

MVP is treated like a prop bet. Limits are much less than a regular game bet.

Guy thinks he's making some kind of point and apparently thinks everyone has tens of thousands of dollars just laying around.

Onepocketj · 09-22-2023, 07:04 PM

Everyone please just ignore him

PLAYED4NOTHING · 09-22-2023, 07:04 PM

Unbelievable season a real 40/40 + player that’s got his whole career ahead of him. Historic

I didn't say placing 10k. I said winning 10k.

a - Not a Mookie homer. Hate the Dodgers.
b - I will put a small bet on Mookie. I think Acuna wins, but the odds are too good to pass up.
c - I do not own much Mookie unfortunately, but I have a lot of Acuna RCs Including a beautiful PSA 10 1/1 from the Brooklyn Collection.
d - I just hate foolish comments and couldn't leave it alone. to a degree, I wish I had.

I also believe Seager has a claim at AL MVP. What Ohtani did was unreal, but his team didn't sniff the playoffs. Seager is a huge reason the Rangers are still there.

What I am wondering is when your last comment on this is?

Rabs · 09-22-2023, 07:07 PM

So all Nats games are blacked on on MLB TV where I live in Virginia.

Thankfully I was at a bar and they had the game on and I saw the laser Ronnie hit for #40. Plus another leadoff HR to boot.

Couldn't be happier as a fan and for him. Loved seeing how excited he was rounding the bases.

Congrats Ronnie! This is a season for the ages.

I'm interested in this as well, especially in a case where it was more a "when" than "if" the last few days so they've had time to prep the card appearance for the image. I'd like to get something for the occasion but I assume bots are all over it.

I wish I was like you and had $250K just lying around to place on a bet that would win a whopping $10K...
