maggsmaggs Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Those lines have only moved because Sox and Cubs fans were putting money on the teams when they were 30/1 and 50/1, respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) Wouldn't high odds be bad? By highest, I mean 6th best chance of winning the WS. What I find most interesting is that the White Sox have better odds to win the World Series than the Tigers but worse odds to win the division. Bettors are implicating the White Sox make the playoffs as a wild card and then become very dangerous in a short series with a potential starting 4 of Sale, Shark, Q, and Rodon. Makes a lot of sense actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokpelts Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 1, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) Wouldn't high odds be bad? If you want to make money, then no. If you see the odds as a barometer for the season, then you want s smaller payout. The Phillies at 125/1 means you make $125 per dollar bet. BUT, those odds are there because no one really thinks the Phillies have a chance. The Cubs are the outlier, as people always bet on the Cubs, regardless of the previous season. "Next year is here" and Chicago locals making bets for people back home basically pay for the sportsbook's operations. The Cubs at 6/1 is because everyone is betting on them. In 2004, they had 3:1 odds during spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2004, they had 3:1 odds during spring training. I would cover up to about $300-350 worth of bets from anybody who wanted to bet the Cubs at 6/1.
