I might actually have to hedge this stupid bet....
If anyone remembers, Bodog was offering an insane line in order to rope amateur bettors into their site. They had a line
"Wild Card team does not win WS" at (-120). Now, I'm an amateur (re: terrible) bettor, but even I can see how great of a line this is. Thing is, looks like Astros are going to get further than I thought. I had put $100 on this bet, and at the time I wasn't too concerned. I really thought the Astros had no chance to get to the WS and I figured if the Red Sox did, well then hell, I just paid $100 to see them win again. But $100 is a lot to me. So as long as the Astros are bigger dogs than +120 in the series, I most likely will put some money down to ensure I get paid something...or at the very least lose nothing. So I ask you, if the Astros don't choke and make it to the WS. What do you see the line being set at? |

I don't see them being much worse than +120. If $100 is really that much to you, then worst case you should be able to cut your losses down to a few dollars.

Chicago are already around -115 and that factors in the chance that they might face STL.

You can get Houston +153 to win the WS right now on Pinny [/ QUOTE ] Looks like good value with their pitching. I don't expect a whole lot of runs in a White Sox/Astros series. |

I looked on Pinny the other day and didn't see anything but I guess it's time to cut my losses now and just take $10 or whatever it is I can make. *Edit* It's down now [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
