February 16, 200422 yr Yankees are favorites to win 7/2 Red Sox follow but are favored to BEAT the Yanks in Division playoffs (huh?) National League favorites: Cubs, 6/1 As for us, the guy commented (on ESPNEWS) that the Tigers have gotten more 'action' than the Marlins...huh? Tigers are 130/1...where does that leave us?
February 16, 200422 yr to win NL pennant: 8:1 to win WS: 18:1 to win NL East: 7:1 Not bad, better than expected
February 16, 200422 yr What the guy meant was...the Tigers who are 130/1 are getting more people to bet on them than the Marlins, not that the Marlins are ranked worse than the Tigers.
February 16, 200422 yr What the guy meant was...the Tigers who are 130/1 are getting more people to bet on them than the Marlins, not that the Marlins are ranked worse than the Tigers. what are you trying to say. I am confused :blink:

I am confused :blink: What he means, and it makes a lot of sense, is that the Tigers are getting bet on more because at 130/1 a bet of $10 would pay-out $1300. The odds are so ridiculous that an insignificant amount of money can become huge. Marlins are favored more, but from a betting stand-point the odds aren't great enough to bet on them.

February 17, 200422 yr thank god baseball isn't a gambling game. Of course not. Just ask Pete Rose. He'll set you straight.
February 17, 200422 yr lets think about why the tigers are getting more bets....... people are hoping to 'strike it rich' not that difficult to figure out.

February 17, 200422 yr I bet on around 5-6 Marlins games last year. Never did too much with baseball as its so unpredictable. I only bet on outright wins so it wasn't too nasty. I came up 4 out of 5 times though. College hoops is what gets me in trouble..... :tissue
February 17, 200422 yr I totally bitched out when it came to the postseason. When the fish made it, I couldn't bet because I felt I was pushing my luck. I wasn't going to bet against them either.
