August 29, 200620 yr the Marlins are listed under "field" at sportsbook.com to win the NL Wildcard field is at 100:1 thank me later :mischief
August 30, 200620 yr Not a betting man so this is a stupid question. That means for every $1 you put down IF they win the wildcard you win $100?
August 30, 200620 yr Not a betting man so this is a stupid question. That means for every $1 you put down IF they win the wildcard you win $100? that is correct sir they probably have a minimum wager ($5 or so)
August 30, 200620 yr Author it was taken down.... there was alot of money coming in on the Fish :thumbup to anyone who jumped in and got it on time
August 30, 200620 yr If only Bodog was as dumb. true But I still got 110-1 back in March for Marlins to win the NLCS I went $20 to win $2,220.00 and 250-1 for Marlins to win WS I went $5 to win $1,250.00 Both on Bodog
August 30, 200620 yr Not a betting man so this is a stupid question. That means for every $1 you put down IF they win the wildcard you win $100? that is correct sir A bet on the fish is a bet that will get you money
August 30, 200620 yr I missed it since I had to register. Thanks anyway. Hope all ya'll who got a bet down win lotsa money. :ramp
August 30, 200620 yr I got 33/1 on the Marlins winning the wild card just last Saturday on WSEX.com. I'm in for $30. It was 100/1 last month. I didn't bet it. Now it's down to 9/1. . . . The neat thing about the wsex.com wager is it's interactive, 2-way play, odds change every day. Right now I could sell $10 of my wager and get back $9 per dollar or $90. I'd then already be up $60 no matter what and have $20 of house money on the Marlins at 33/1.
August 30, 200620 yr If only Bodog was as dumb. Back on June 18th (just as The Marlins were finishing off their sweep of Toronto), BoDog was giving them 800-1 to win the World Series. Somebody :whistle jumped on that pretty quick and the odds plummeted.
August 30, 200620 yr If only Bodog was as dumb. I'm gonna say that keeping all your $ in one place is pretty dumb.

Somebody :whistle jumped on that pretty quick and the odds plummeted. :lol Maybe thats when I saw them drop to 15-1 to win the NLCS...........I was wondering why that happened. Someone probably went relatively big on the 800-1.

Someone probably went relatively big on the 800-1. I've heard from a reliable source that the Vegas casinos have a relatively big exposure if the Marlins win the World Series. Around $250,000, which is huge for the sportsbooks on these future bets.

And my earlier comment was the exposure of just 1 casino....not all of them. Overall, it's much higher.

I stand to win $3,500.00 if the Marlins win. :santa Im one person in a very big world of sportsbettors.
August 30, 200620 yr Even today, you can still get 33/1 on the Marlins to win the NLCS. To me that's a better bet than 100/1 at the beginning of the season.
August 30, 200620 yr The day after we reached 36-41 I made my first and only bet ever on sports.. $100 @ 55-1 to win the NL pennant.

And your $30 bet is no small potatoes. Even in Las Vegas any futures bet that means a payout of over $10000 normally need to be approved by the manager. Your $3300 is not that far off.
August 30, 200620 yr What site currently has the best bet out there for the marlins to win the wild card and/or NLCS?
August 30, 200620 yr What site currently has the best bet out there for the marlins to win the wild card and/or NLCS? As far as I know it's WSEX.com. Wild Card 9/1 NLCS 33/1

How does one produce a screenshot of something that hasn't existed since June 18th?
