Jimbo's Drinker Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) In Vegas the White Sox are 4-1 to win the pennant. This percentage dropped from 15-1 at the beginning of the offseason. strange in my opinion. Edited March 3, 2009 by Jimbo's Drinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Had to be for the AL Central. I could buy that, I guess. Must have mostly to do with the positive reports on Contreras and Colon. Nothing else has changed radically with our team in recent weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shago Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 From today's LVH sports book: 7:2 to win the AL Central (3rd btw) 15:1 to win the ALCS 22:1 to win the World Series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds that year at that time were 30:1. Then after the season ended, I couldn't find the damn ticket. Found it 2 years later when moving some furniture, after it had expired for reimbursement.

Y2HH Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 08:06 AM) I remember being in Vegas in Jan of 2005, and putting $20 on the Sox to win the WS. Odds that year at that time were 30:1. Then after the season ended, I couldn't find the damn ticket. Found it 2 years later when moving some furniture, after it had expired for reimbursement. I had done the same thing...but I didn't lose my ticket and got paid. I was just in Vegas a few weeks ago, the odds for the Sox are rediculous -- there is almost no point in betting on them as the return is minimal. Their odds are FAR better than I thought they would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, they do change week to week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was at the Mandalay Bay, and those were the odds. They don't have odds for the division out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Its seems like free money. Which is scary, because I have a high losing % for my "lock" wagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 So the over under for wins is 78.5, but their odds for winning the pennant is 4-1? Something is off there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back 50 years and couldn't find a single season where at least one team didn't finish with less than 69 wins. If you want your winning bet, find the teams like Pittsburgh and Washington that you know will suck next year and bet them under their win totals.

Just think, if you'd taken that $600, invested it in the stock market...well, the casino might have been able to recycle that slip of paper and reduce your carbon footprint.
