July 28, 200521 yr As per Bodog, Where is AJ Burnett going to be pitching after the trade deadline New York Yankees - 6/1 Boston Red Sox - 7/2 Baltimore Orioles - 3/1 Florida Marlins - 6/1 Chicago White Sox - 3/1 Other - 9/2 To me I think we're getting good odds....Where would you put your mythical money?
July 28, 200521 yr Orioles are the smart money but since this is mythical money, I'll put it all on teal
July 28, 200521 yr he's not going anywhere folks not unless someone gets desperate and grossly overpays. i dont think we'll be seeing an equal value trade. he stays in teal $1,000 :mischief
July 28, 200521 yr I will put 1,000 for 3/1 odds for the ChiSox. I think they will find a way to take on lowell's contract for us. Then the Marlins will spin McCarthy for Vasquez or another top player they wanted but didnt want the salary for.
July 28, 200521 yr Im actually starting to think the Os deal minus our prospect would have been a decent trade for us, but right now I dont see the Red Sox or White Sox doing a deal, but the White Sox are pretty much the only team left in contention. My moneys on the fish. Next season, its on the Os.
July 28, 200521 yr I seriously doubt AJ is going anywhere and neither is Lowell. He'll stay and go back to his old self next season.. ...i hope :confused .
July 28, 200521 yr That Red Sox number seems too low. Must have been some large mythical money bets placed by cubangm and Rdsxmbnt.
July 28, 200521 yr Half of my mythical money is going to the Marlins at 6:1 and the other half is going to The Dark Horse team at 9:2 Le Tigres are gonna get in on the action. I have a feeling its going to be a trade that is more beneficial to the club that gets him in regards to the other clubs that don't get him. Example going to the tigers so the Sox don't get him. The team that gets him is gonna over-pay in my opinion.
July 28, 200521 yr I didn't check closely enough at first. Nothing mythical about this. Real money can be bet. Too bad, I would have taken 6/1 earlier on the Fish, with a small back-up on the Yankees just in case George goes extra nuts. Now it's 5/2 on the Fins.

They are based on what they believe the public will bet so that all sides get bet equally and the bookmaker is guaranteed a win no matter what the outcome. This situation was probably influenced by the amount of "dream and hope money" that they felt would come from the big market cities. But based on the line movement, it looks like they got caught by the "smart money" who know AJ is going nowhere since he has no intention of siging a contract with anybody.
