June 28, 200620 yr On April 6th I placed a futures wager for the Marlins to win the NLCS: $20 to win $2,200.00 Thats 110 to 1 The Marlins today on Bodog to win the NLCS? 25 to 1. :o Also on April 6th I placed a 5$ futures wager on the Fish to win the World Series. $5 to win $1,250.00 Thats 250 to 1. The Marlins today on Bodog to win the Series? 40 to 1. Do you think Vegas/online books have taken notice of the Marlins play of late? You bet your azz.
June 28, 200620 yr I took the same WS odds (250:1) and put 7 dollars down. I stand to win 1,750 dollars. But Im a fan first...so while the money is great, I just want to see them win!
June 28, 200620 yr Author Oh yeah totally. I did it for a "just in case" situation cause I knew Id kick myself for not placing it and they turned out to be a great team. I did well in 2003 too. Small wager went VERY far.
June 28, 200620 yr Well there is definitely a thread I had about this several months ago that will be unearthed (yet again) later in the season if we do make a run. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like to be shown up and I just don't forgive and forget.
