How to choose an honest online casino

If the player really wants to become a professional in gambling establishments, the first thing he should learn is not to believe in beautiful blinking advertising, but to look for honest casinos. If you follow this rule, then when you smile a fortune and you win a large sum – you will pay it. A large reliable casino will never be delayed with the payment of the won money. After all, an honest online casino is interested in ensuring that this client is satisfied and continues to play it in it.

Online casinos are created to earn their owners – it’s an axiom. Nobody will open and maintain an institution that is unprofitable. But, unfortunately, some websites are created only for the purpose of cheating and getting fast money, and many honest online casinos die out as such. Taking advantage of the fact that players are not always attentive and often in a hurry to start a game, these institutions simply take away players’ money, without giving them a chance to win.

From the very beginning, the player must refuse to believe the ads and reviews on the forums, however true they seem. You must learn how to choose an honest casino. As they say: “the salvation of drowning people is the work of the drowning themselves”.

The advertisement is engine of the trade:

The player should realize the following fact – for today to buy any comments and responses on forums and advertising platforms does not make any work. Moreover, these services are inexpensive. You can buy 100 reviews for $ 25, without any problems. And, it will be the placement of enthusiastic reviews about how they won in this institution and what exactly this casino is absolutely honest, with a crystal clear reputation.

In fact, people who are willing to post reviews on forums for 10 dollars, are unlikely to play gambling on the Internet. The novice player, after reading a large number of positive reviews about the honesty and decency of such an institution, will simply lose his money in a dummy institution. Gambling houses that offer such tempting bonuses are very rarely an honest casino.

To date, in the face of growing competition, it’s so difficult to find an honest casino and register in it without preliminary verification. Complexity arises from the abundance of offers from various platforms, gambling establishments and gaming clubs. There are so many of them that it’s sometimes difficult for an experienced player to determine which of the casinos are honest, and which ones will invent the reasons, just not to pay the money won. To begin with, at a minimum, the player needs to find a place where he is not deceived. And for this there are several proven ways:

Simple verification:

 

Type in the search engine the name of the casino you are considering for honesty, in conjunction with the words: deception, do not pay, robbed, thieves, scammers and look at the issuance of the first 10-30 pages. As a rule, if the game club is not clean at hand, then you will read about it. But if you want to play in Polish, Gametwist is one of the honest ones.

The Greatest Shortstops in Red Sox History

The Red Sox have had a rich history at the shortstop position. On this list are five Red Sox Hall of Famers and some worthy candidates in the honorable mention category. Placement of the players after the top couple was difficult, but one thing is for sure; I had no trouble finding five qualified candidates at this position.

Nomar Garciaparra

Nomah was the greatest shortstop to ever play at Fenway Pahk! Going to a Sox game in the late nineties and early 2000s one could hear “Nomaaahhhh” yelled all over the ballpark. The 12th overall pick in 1994, Nomar had no trouble climbing through the minors before debuting in 1996. He won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1997, then placed 2nd in the MVP vote in 1998. He proceeded to win the batting title in each of the next two seasons, batting .357 and .372. Nomar was getting better and better, spraying line drives all over the yard.  Nomar helped the Red Sox make the playoffs in 4 of his years with the club.  Currently, the Red Sox are +600 to win the World Series according to bonuskod maria casino and other reputable online casinos.  Right now would be a great time to make a wager and participate in online sports betting with the season about to begin.

Then Al Reyes happened. A Reyes pitch hit Nomar on the wrist and would later require surgery. When Nomar returned he was still a good player, but wasn’t the same. He popped the ball up more, hitting a few less line drives. Hard to complain with a .310 average, 24 home runs and 56 doubles in 2002 followed by 28 home runs in 2003 though. For his Red Sox career Nomar batted .323 with 178 home runs and a .923 OPS. He was something else in his prime and one of the top shortstops of all time ranked on freebets.org.

Joe Cronin

Joe Cronin was an extremely influential person in both Red Sox history and Major League Baseball history. He not only played for the Red Sox, he managed them and later became the General Manager. After his term as General Manager ended, Cronin became the President of the American League in 1959, a position he held for 15 years.

Cronin was a Hall of Fame ballplayer, and could have put up even bigger numbers had he not been managing. By 1942 he was a little used utility player while managing, despite the fact he was coming off a season during which he batted .311 with 16 homers and 95 RBI. He’d bat over .300 each of the next two seasons as well in limited playing time. For his Red Sox career Cronin was a .300 hitter, hitting 119 home runs and 1168 base hits. He had a beautiful slash line of .394/.484/.878. All three of those numbers rank second among Red Sox shortstops. Cronin made five All-Star Games while with the Red Sox.

Johnny Pesky

I think a lot of people remember Pesky as the lovable old man always hanging around the Red Sox dugout and don’t realize just how good of a player he was. Pesky led the league in hits during each of his first three seasons in the majors. He batted .331 during his rookie season, placing 3rd in the MVP vote. Following that, Pesky went to fight in the war and missed the next three seasons. When he came back he batted .335 and placed 4th in the MVP vote. The following year he again led the league in hits and batted .324. He was a great hitter and would have over 600 hits likely added to his career total had the war not occurred.

He was one of many guys who lost stats due to this time period that the Hall of Fame doesn’t seem to have taken into consideration. Had the war not happened, Pesky would be a shortstop who hit well over .300 with somewhere over 2000 career hits. Laughably, as an illustration to New York bias, Phil Rizzuto is in the Hall of Fame. Rizzuto batted .273 with a .351/.355/.706 triple slash playing the same position and during the exact same era as Pesky. Pesky batted .307 with a .394/.386/.780 slash line. Focusing on just his Red Sox career, Pesky batted .313 with 1277 hits and a .401 on base percentage. He twice finished in the top five for MVP voting.

Rico Petrocelli

Rico gets the nod fourth thanks to his counting numbers. He leads all Red Sox shortstop with 210 home runs and 1352 base hits. Of course, he moved to third base in the seventies so as just a shortstop he doesn’t rank first. While playing short, Petrocelli batted .259 while hitting 127 of his home runs. Rico made his first All-Star Game during the “Impossible Dream” season of 1967. He really broke out in 1969 though when he made his 2nd all-star team. That season Rico batted .297 with 40 home runs and a .992 OPS! Those 40 home runs stood as an American League shortstop record until 1998, when it took some foreign substances to likely surpass it.

Rico’s newfound power extended into the early seventies, hitting 29 home runs in 1970 and 28 in 1971. That gave him a three-year total of 97 home runs. His 39.1 career WAR places him second out of guys on this list behind only Nomar. He was also a part of two Red Sox pennant winning teams.

John Valentin

John Valentin was an excellent and underrated player prior to knee injuries that hobbled him and shortened his career after he turned 30. Valentin hit 121 home runs and collected 1042 base hits as a member of the Red Sox. He was their shortstop from 1992-96 before Nomar arrived. After a brief move to second base, he became their third baseman after Tim Naehring’s injury and remained there for a few years. As just a shortstop, Valentin batted .292 with a .375/.470/.845 triple slash line. He had an 11.8 dWAR with the Sox, 2nd among the guys on this list.

In 1995 Valentin really busted out, batting .298 with 27 home runs, 102 RBI and 20 stolen bases. He led all American Leaguers in WAR that season. From 1994-97 he averaged a season of .303 with 17 home runs, 35 doubles and an .876 OPS. He still hit 23 home runs in 1998 but his average dropped as his knees started causing him discomfort. Despite a mediocre season in 1999, Valentin had a huge postseason. A clutch player, Valentin batted .347 with 5 home runs and a 1.046 OPS during his postseason career. He drove in 12 runners in the 5 game ALDS versus Cleveland in 1999 and was one of the few Red Sox players to hit in the ALCS that year. His clutch play is one reason he slots into the top five.

Croker Hopes to Turn UConn’s Defense into One of the Best in the Country

The University of Connecticut football team went 3-9 last season, prompting the team to make some coaching changes. One of the changes the team made was bringing in Billy Crocker as their defensive coordinator. If you want to bet on the Huskies this fall, our sportsbook that offers odds for all UCONN’s games.

Croker came to UConn with a lot of experience, and spent the last 12 years coaching at Villanova. Last season, he led the Wildcats to the number one defense in the country as their defensive coordinator, and the Huskies are hoping he can do the same for them. In fact, if you’re interested in sports betting, you can use  your bet365 promo code to put a wager on the Huskies to win the conference this year.  Betting on college sports is always fun and UConn looks like a smart team to wager on this season.

Croker will be using his 3-3-5 defense, which means the Huskies are expected to be very aggressive defensively this season.

Huskies head coach Randy Edsall told reporters that when he was putting his coaching staff together, he was looking for coaches that would fit his philosophy and knew what he wanted to do. After doing some research, he determined that Crocker was the right fit for the Huskies. Edsall added that he was impressed by what he saw of Crocker’s 3-3-5 defense.

Edsall isn’t the only one singing Crocker’s praise. The players have also been impressed with what they have seen so far.

Junior Joseph, a senior linebacker said he could tell from his first meeting that Crocker was a very aggressive coach. Joseph said he has watched game tape from Crocker’s time in Villanova expects his new coach to call a lot of blitzes and to play in the multi lotto online lottery.

Last season, the Huskies used a 3-4 defense, but the switch to a 3-3-5 defense isn’t going to be too much of an adjustment because there’s going to be one less linebacker and one more defensive back. The formation is expected to provide challenges for opposing offenses.

According to Edsall, the biggest difference from the 3-4 to the 3-3-5 defense is where the defensive players line up. The new system will cause problems for offenses because even though they will be expecting a blitz, they won’t be sure where it is going to come from.

After watching their defense five up 28.1 points per game last year, confused offenses will be a welcome sight for UConn fans. The Huskies pass defense was the second worst in the AAC last season, allowing 264 passing yards per game. Opposing quarterbacks had a 141 pass efficiency rating against the Huskies as well.

The team’s pass rush was also inept, and UConn finished the year with 17 sacks and 7 interceptions, which were also second worst in the AAC last year.

In comparison, Crocker’s Wildcats allowed only 15 points per game last season, which was the best mark in the country. The team allowed 259.8 yards per game, which was also the best in the country, and led the nation with 32 sacks and 17 interceptions.

Luke Carrezola, a senior defensive lineman, said he thinks the new aggressive defense will lead to a lot of explosive plays that can help the team win some more games this season.

The Huskies are primed to have a good year defensively because their front seven are all seniors and have a lot of experience. With Crocker running things, they might be one of the best defensive units in the country by the time the season is over.

Week 2 NFL Highlights

Week 2 of the NFL is officially in the books. After a less than stellar opening weekend, the NFL fared much better in its second week. The games were more competitive and exciting with a few close finishes. Anyone who thought that the NFL had peaked and couldn’t put a good product on the field simply wasn’t patient enough. Teams are still in the process of figuring out who they are and what they do well. It’s what makes the games so unpredictable and why it’s a good idea to have help with your DraftKings Picks. With one game under their belts, several teams fared much better in Week 2 than they did in Week 1.

Here are some of the highlights from Week 2:

New England Patriots 36, New Orleans Saints 20

The king is not dead. The New England Patriots bounced back from an embarrassing loss on opening night and absolutely throttled the Saints on the road. Tom Brady had his best statistical 1st quarter ever in his illustrious career, putting the Patriots firmly in the lead and never looking back. For anyone hoping that the Pats would struggle in 2017, it’s time to think again. Tom Brady isn’t going anywhere.

Miami Dolphins 19, Los Angeles Chargers 17

The Chargers returned to their original home of Los Angeles for the first time in Week 2. After spending decades in San Diego, the Chargers just didn’t seem quite at home. This was most notable at the end of the game where after blowing a sizable lead, the Chargers had the opportunity to win the game on a last-second field goal. The attempt didn’t make it through the uprights and the homecoming celebration became quite the letdown.

Denver Broncos 42, Dallas Cowboys 17

This game was a complete smackdown from start to finish. Riding high off their win over the Giants, the Cowboys seemed poised to once again take the lead in the NFC East and perhaps even the entire conference. However, the Broncos had other plans for them that day. Perhaps the most telling moment was when cornerback Aqib Talib pick-sixed Dak Prescott, taking the interception from one end zone to the next and all but sealing the victory for Denver.

Atlanta Falcons 34, Green Bay Packers 23

It was a much anticipated rematch of the NFC Championship on Sunday Night when the Falcons hosted the Packers. Unfortunately for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, the game was very much a repeat of the title game. While the Falcons didn’t run out to a massive lead like they did in January, they walked away the victors nevertheless. It just goes to show that you can’t count out Atlanta. At 2-0 they’re bouncing back from their Super Bowl loss quite nicely.

The Patriots Stumble on Opening Night in Foxboro

The NFL season kicked off on Thursday night with a prime time matchup between the defending champion New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs.  The Patriots were highly-favored in this contest with a money line of -9 at many online betting sites like Netticasino-Suomi. After an off-season where the already strong Patriots stacked up at many important skill positions, it seemed like the team was destined to route Kansas City and many people wagered heavily on the game.

It was a much anticipated night in Foxboro, Mass for several reasons.  Many bettors had wagered heavily on this game.  The over/under for the matchup was set at 59 according to bonuskod maria casino and other online sports betting sites.  But sports betting wasn’t the only reason for fans to be excited. First and foremost, the night kicked off with the unveiling of the team’s fifth championship banner.  The Patriots constructed a new display area in Gillette Stadium with the specific purpose of showing off their championship banners.  When the stadium was originally under construction, the Patriots had never won a Super Bowl.  No one anticpated the team winning a single Lombardi Trophy, let alone five.  Now after all of their success over the past 16 season, the team needed to create room for all the banners.  The new area in the back of the endzone has room for at least three other banners, so the team should be all set there for at least the immediate future.  The second reason for anticipation was the return of Commissioner Roger Goodell to Foxboro for the first time since handing down a four-game suspension to Tom Brady for “Deflategate”.  The commissioner received a round of healthy boos from the Foxboro faithful, who were more than willing to let the commissioner know exactly how they felt about his authoritarian antics over the past two years.

Once the pregame ceremonies and booing were out of the way, the Patriots took the field and put on a lackluster performance against Kansas City.  After a strong start in which Tom Brady led the team on a touchdown drive, things quickly deteriorated for the Patriots.  They lead the game going into halftime and even into the 4th quarter before their defense truly gave way and let the Chiefs score three unanswered fourth quarter touchdowns.  The final score of 42-27 doesn’t tell the entire story as the game was close for the majority of the contest.  However, the fourth quarter was truly a disgrace for the Patriots.  Their defense had absolutely no answers for the Kansas City offense.  Making matters worse, Tom Brady was not able to muster any sort of momentum against the Chiefs’ defense.  With receiver Danny Amendola out with a concussion and Julian Edelman sidelined for the season with an ACL tear, the Patriots appeared absolutely anemic on offense.

It was a huge change from the monstrous 4th quarter that that Patriots used for their legendary Super Bowl comeback against the Atlanta Falcons.  I guess when everything’s said and done, you win some and you lose some.  Last Thursday night, was a losing effort all around for the Patriots.  There are many questions left unanswered regarding this team and time will tell if they’re able to bounce back with a strong effort in Week 2.  If they are, this game will only be a bump in the road to what many hope to be the team’s sixth Super Bowl season.

Will the Patriots turn to Jimmy Garoppolo this season?

The Kansas City Chiefs shocked the nation this past Thursday evening when they upset the defending champion New England Patriots. The Patriots were heavily favored going into the game, with the spread being -9 for New England at most online sports books like Bet365 Casino. The NFL’s opening night game is frequently won by the home team and the Patriots were 51-1 against AFC opponents at home since 2007. It seemed as if the Chiefs had no chance of winning, but Alex Smith and Andy Reid found a way to outfox Tom Brady and Bill Belichick at Foxboro.

Sometimes the unexpected occurs. For example, many people wagered on the Patriots using their betfair promo code during Super Bowl LI when the Patriots were down 28-3.  Those people won a ridiculous amount of money by making a smart sports wager. If we didn’t learn that lesson when the Patriots were down 28-3 against the Falcons in February, we certainly learned that lesson last Thursday night. When it comes to the unexpected, one can’t help but wonder how it pertains to the New England Patriots and backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. This rising star is now spending his fourth year on the Patriots bench behind Tom Brady. However, there are strong indications that Garoppolo is the heir apparent to Brady’s throne. For starters, Garoppolo played lights out last season in place of Tom Brady, when Brady was forced to server a four-game suspension for “Deflategate”. Garoppolo’s strong performance undoubtedly increased his trade value, so it was shocking when Bill Belichick failed to deal Garoppolo to a quarterback needy team before the draft. Rumor has it that the Patriots turned down a huge offer from the Cleveland Browns which included the #12 overall pick. For the Patriots to turn down that type of offer for a backup quarterback speaks volumes about what Bill Belichick must think about Garoppolo.

If the Patriots are truly that high on Garoppolo, they will only be able to let him ride the bench for so much longer. His contract is up after this season, and while they are able to place the franchise tag on him to retain his services, doing so would have the Patriots commiting an astronomical amount of their salary cap to the quarterback position, which is the complete opposite of how Bill Belichick typically builds out his roster. At some point, the Patriots will be forced to decide between their legendary quarterback Tom Brady and the youngster Jimmy Garoppolo. As a huge Brady supporter myself, I am uneasy about the situation as youth tends to win all arguments in these types of situation. Brady is 40 years old and not getting any younger. The Patriots’ future is likley in Garoppolo’s hands. The question is when New England turns the keys over to their young backup. If the unexpected happens and the Patriots continue to struggle this season, it’s possible that the torch could be passed from Brady to Garoppolo as soon as the 2017 season.

Manager John Farrell Hopes Zander Bogaerts Will Return from Weekend Fully Rested

Xander Bogaerts took a pitch to the hand in the last game in July before the All-Star break. That was when things changed him. He was hitting .308 at the time. He hasn’t had an at-bat since then and he took a 0-for-4 the last time the Red Sox threw him into the starting lineup.

What does that say about the sportsbook odds for the Red Sox games? Well, for now, nothing. Sure, he’s still fighting to recover and his injuries won’t stop nagging at him. But Manager John Farrell refused to lay the blame for some of the Red Sox’s problems at the feet of Xander Bogaerts.  A move like this shows strong leadership by Farrell and his managerial style plays a big role in the Red Sox’s potential success this year.  In fact, online sportsbooks like wetten-wm-2018.com currently have the Red Sox favored to win the AL East.  If you’re into sports betting, now may be a great time to place a bet on Boston.

According to Farrell, every single player surrounding Xander is struggling with a nagging ache or pain. And Farrell doesn’t expect his team to be free of those ailments anytime soon. But like the rest of the team, Farrell expects Xander to persevere through the injury.

He admitted that Xander was a pretty important component of the team. And the last couple of weeks have been a disappointment on his part. But Farrell isn’t ready to give up on him, which is why Xander has been given an entire weekend to focus on getting into the proper physical and mental shape.

Farrell’s hope is that Xander will come back to the starting lineup in peak physical condition. In the meantime, the likes of Deven Marrero, Hector Velasquez, and Dustin Pedroia – who just came off the disabled list – will be expected to pick up the slack.

The Red Sox are expected to finish 20-for-140 in RISP situations against the Yankees. They had a RISP hit on the weekend courtesy of Sandy Leon’s 9th inning single. The Red Sox have nothing to complain about, especially with regards to runners in scoring position.

They have definitely been one of the better teams. But they haven’t completely eclipsed the Yankees who made many key pitches over the course of their 19 games.

David Price saw his first bullpen session mere days ago and he is set to throw a full bullpen in the coming hours. Farrell knows what Price can do and his hope is for the athlete to throw pitches a total of 30 to 35 when his chance at a bullpen session at Fenway comes.

Farrell will use that as an opportunity to see how soon Price can be thrown against some hitters. Price is still nursing an elbow injury. The Red Sox are not certain when he will be ready to get back into the game.

But he has shown promise. At the very least, his showing in the past week suggests that he is making quick gains.

The month of July was ugly for the Red Sox who saw Andrew Benintendi get held out of the lineup for a couple of days, though he made a splash of a comeback in August and became Rookie of the Month, the first Red Sox player to achieve the feat since 2013.

Everyone thinks Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger are leading the charge when it comes to rookies but Andrew Benintendi is quickly pulling away from them.

Sox Fall to Yanks to Even Up Series

The Sox came into Saturday’s game with all the confidence in the world, rallying to beat the Yankees on Friday and having Chris Sale on the mound.   Unfortunately, Sale was bit by the homer bug and CC Sabathia was getting the job done on his side of the rubber.   The Sox got within one run, but had no magic this time in the 9th.  Anyone who wagered on the Red Sox using their bet365 bonus code was likely disappointed.  However, all the Yankees fans who made a big bet on their team definitely went home happy.

The Yankees jumped out to an early lead when Austin hit a 3 run homer off of Sale in the 2nd inning.   Sox 0-3.  The score stayed the same until the 5th inning when the Sox bats finally got to CC Sabathia a little bit.  Sandy Leon hit an RBI sac grounder and then Jackie Bradley Jr. hit an RBI single to have the Sox within one run.   Sox 2-3.   Unfortunately Sale gave one of those runs right back to the Yankees in the top of the 6th when he gave up a solo home run to Frazier.  Sox 2-4.  Sale pitched through 7 innings and left the mound in line for the loss.  His pitching line was 117 pitches, 7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 BB and 9 Ks.  This came as a bit of a surprise, as the Sox were favored to win on betting sites like onlinecasinoreview.co.nz.

The Sox once again got within a run in the bottom of the 7th when Rafael Devers hit a solo home run.  Sox 3-4.  With Sale out of the game, Matt Barnes came in and pitched a scoreless 8th inning.  The Sox had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the 8th, but then Xander Bogaerts killed the rally when he struck out to end the inning.  Heath Hembree came out for the 9th inning and got himself into some trouble.   Hembree gave up a double and then the Yankees sacrificed him over to third with only one out.   Robby Scott came out in relief and was able to get a ground ball and then Ellsbury was thrown out trying to get home.   Joe Kelly came out for the final out and got Judge to strike out to end the inning.  The Yankees went with Dellin Betances since Chapman is no longer their closer due to his consistent struggles.   Betances got the job done for the Yankees as he got the three outs they need to quell any hopes of another Sox walk off.

Andrew Benintendi – Can He Fill the Void Left By David Ortiz for Boston Red Sox?

Boston Red Sox fans are gaining an excitement that comes in several forms and shapes this new season. The excitement comes with optimistic and hopeful anticipation for the unknown the real picture, the Red Sox team is in solid shape and Andrew Benintendi is scratching the surface, as other team members such as Hanley Ramirez is expected to maintain his cleanup spot. But the Sox are heading into this season without David Ortiz, and we don’t know how the team will look like without him. Whether Mookie Betts, Chris Sale, David Price, Dustin Pedroia, or Robinson Cano will seal the picture for the Sox without David Ortiz will depend on who can fill his shoes.

Will the widely considered as the best prospect in all of MLB, the left fielder, Andrew Benintendi is expected to fill the gap left by the retirement of David Ortiz last year. Andrew Benintendi’s bat as started to heat up, and with his power and talent that he receives from the fan base, however, with the absence of David Ortiz the Boston Red Sox will have to undergo an era of change concerning the face of the franchise. Andrew Benintendi appears hot in the pursuit to the honor of the Rookie of the Year.

However, you can’t substitute the super utility of a player like Ortiz and Benintendi is better placed to connect with all players on the roster. Ortiz had a room-dominating personality and could bring the team together based on his ability to speak multiple languages. However, the Ohio native, Benintendi appears to understand things differently even if he doesn’t speak a particular language that enables him to bridge the gaps in understanding the players in the manner Ortiz did. Benintendi’s gregarious personality comes naturally that will allow him to create a relationship conducive to enhancing trust with teammates.

The scouting community is in great admiration for Benintendi, and the ZIPS Projections Systems from Dan Szymborski’s Model gives him a hitting of .278/.341/.446 in addition to 31 doubles, 12 home runs, 13 steals, and 62 runs. Considering his strong defensive ability to perform in big leagues and projection of 2.2 WAR in last year’s season, Benintendi is expected to have more OPS+ of 109 as compared to the likes of Hanley Ramirez’s 107, Jackie Bradley’s 105, Dustin Pedroia’s 103, and Xander Bogaerts’s 106. You can book your Red Sox game tickets in advance and make sure that you are not going to miss the best moments of their live actions.

Benintendi is the team’s left fielder and in a lineup that needs the search for the person to fill caused by the retirement of David Ortiz, and the rookie left fielder, however, suffers from the proverbial sophomore slump will continue to dance to take the team to win this season. Benintendi will solidify the problems in the left field and is well on track to become a fantastic player. Boston Red Sox have been pretty good and in a solid shape and Benintendi is not a bust but a beacon of hope, and therefore Andrew Benintendi can he fill the void left by David Ortiz

for Boston Red Sox.

Carpenter Hits a Rare Walk-off Grand Slam

Everybody loves the dramatic moment that comes with a walk-off home run. What could be better? A walk-off grand slam. In extra innings.

That’s what Matt Carpenter did for the St. Louis Cardinals in the first game of their doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. If you had happened to make a bet on the Cardinals using bonus code ladbrokes, you would have walked away a big winner.  It’s amazing moments like these that makes sports and wagering on sports so exciting.  Here’s what happened: Kolten Wong tied the game up in the 11th inning with a run-scoring triple before Toronto opted to walk the bases loaded for Carpenter.  That hit alone created a frenzy in the live sports betting lines.

Then, he did this.

One can only assume that after they were done celebrating, everyone jogged down the right-field line so they could sit down and eat their prepared sandwiches before getting ready for Game 2. Isn’t that how doubleheaders work?

Just in case you were wondering, walk-off grand slams don’t happen all that often. For the Cardinals, it hadn’t happened in nearly 10 years before Carpenter launched that pitch into the seats.

Walk-off grand slams are even more rare in extra innings, though. It hadn’t happened this century before Thursday.

That’s one way to keep the momentum flowing in the right direction — especially since April hasn’t gone how the Cardinals would’ve liked.

As recently as April 19th, St. Louis was just 3-9, living in the basement of the National League Central and were 4.5 games off the pace. However, they’ve won 7 of 9 since and have a chance of getting back to .500 if they can sweep this doubleheader from the Blue Jays.

That seemed like a crazy thought about two weeks ago, but that’s baseball for ya.
