Jesus, Brewers are at 80-1. I should go make a bet or something, no way I get hurt. $5 turns into 400, and if I lose, it's just $5.

 

wow.

[goonys evil twin]

The Cubs are always overpriced, because so many fans want to bet on them the year it finally happens.

Done and done. My parents happen to be in Vegas this week. I just put a Benny on the Brewers.

I was one of those hapless Cub fans that put money on them to win the World Series. It was my first time in Vegas and I figured I had to take advantage.

The Mets are 4-1 odds. :lol:

 

Oakland's at 15-1 and Cleveland's 12-1. Hmmmmmmmmm...

Yeah, I saw that as well. Wouldn't hurt to put a $5 on the Royals. I mean, anything can happen. *shrug*

 

$5 turns into $1,500. And if you lose, well, it's still only $5.

I think the best bet here would be the Reds. Drop a 5 spot on them and see if you can't add two more zeros to that.

 

Plus, I think the Reds have a better chance than the Brew Crew.

Bump (kind of),

 

My dad went to the the sports book at the Riveria and the Brew crew were 60-1. I had him put $50 dollars down. Not 80-1 but a nice return on investment anyway

circa early October 1990, my brother and I at a Reno sportsbook:

 

Me: look at that, Reds 4000-1 to sweep the world series. we should put five bucks on it.

 

brother: nah, never gonna happen. just put an extra five on the Bears to beat Denver.

 

Me: duuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooookay

How can that be? 4000-1? I'm assuming since you were betting on football too, this occured before the World Series. I'm not discrediting what you said, but that seems really strange to have 4000-1 odds to sweep a World Series.

The White Sox are that far down? On paper, they are an improved team. I know it is tough to repeat, but I think they deserve more respect than that.

According to that list, the White Sox are the 3rd favorite at 9-2.
