Red Sox - Yankees $100,000 bet
At the Foxwoods tables yesterday, there was a rumor that a guy put $100K down on the Red Sox in Vegas after Game 3 and bet that the Sox would win the World Series and got tremendous odds like 50-1. Any truth to this rumor?
Also, my tablemates said that the Sox winning the Series was foretold in the Back to the Future 2 movie on the cover of a newspaper. |

I'd imagine that odds would be greater than 50-1.

The odds of most online books was 17-1. I doubt Vegas was offering 50-1. Nice score either way.
The Back to the Future thing intrigues me. Any more details? |

17-1 after being down 3-0? I knew there was a reason why I don't bet baseball.

The Back to the Future 2 thing isn't true, the paper had the Cubs winning against "Miami" in 2015.

If so, they guy got ripped off. 50-1? That's a joke. How many times in baseball had teams been down 3-0 in a series? What about other professional sports? And how many comebacks have their been?

I saw exactly 50-to-1 at the Luxor sportsbook the morning after Game 3. |

Almost certainly false. Books don't let you put that kind of action on 50-to-1 lines without moving the line. You might get $1000 down, but then they'd insist on moving the line if you wanted to bet more. |

What does this have to do with the accuracy of Back to the Future?

Re: Red Sox - Yankees $100,000 bet
50-1 is way low down 0-3 for just the AL series but to win the world series is a rip. Seriously like 100-1 to win the whole thing, world series and all after being 0-3 is low but within the realm. So maybe he bet 1k and got 100k in return. Agreed most books don't let you have that kind of action of 50-1 to 100-1 odds.
