30/1 for world series

10/1 for NLCS

 

according to Bodog which is pretty close to vegas

Ain't it weird that the link shows us with the same odds as the White Sox, even though we play in the weakest division, they have to fight Cleveland and Detroit, and they only won 72 games last year?

[pitchleague]

when I was in Laughlin (NV) on Friday, one of the books there had it as NL Pennant 7-1 and WS Champ at 15-1.

 

I didn't bother placing a bet.

I live in Vegas and could go check it out but I have no clue about sports gambling so I don't really know what to look for or where...I guess I could ask my degenerate friend.

The odds don't really reflect what they think will happen, they are set to try to get people to make bets. That probably explains the White Sox thing since they know Chicago fans are generally dellusional about their teams.

Yep

That's often the mistake non-gamblers make if the odds or point spread seem to high or low for a game or predicted season finish. All the odds makers are trying to do is get an even amount of money bet both ways, then the bookie/Vegas is safe and makes their money on the juice. The Packers/Seattle game was a good example of this. Packer fans have a strong following and they often will get more action than the team they are playing, particularly in years they are good. So the line starts off higher to get equal money put on the other team and the line started off at 9 points which i knew was to high and eventually would come down.

Anybody seen an over/under for wins?

 

My guess is 83.5.

Vegas odds always reflect not only what the oddsmakers think (opening lines), but what the public bets. That's why lines move up and down all week.

 

So, the Brewers could win the NL next year, blow out the Cubs by 20 games next year, and still be longer odds than the Cubbies because their delusional fans always put a boatload of money on them.

 

Example: The Packers went 8-8 last year. But since they have a huge fanbase around the country, their Super Bowl odds (in Vegas) were about 15-1 before the season started. The Brewers World Series odds were 22-1 on the Sept 7th, and they were winning the Central!! At the same time, the Cubs were 8-1.

Current Sportsbook.com World Series odds:

Brewers 30-1

A $100 bet on the Brewers at 9-5 odds would net $180.

 

[bullox]

Gross $180, net $80. Right?

[MelGroceryStocker]

No. If the odds are 9-5 and you put a $100 bet down, you will net $180 and walk away with $280.

[heresrobin]

OK Mel, then I think I'm looking at it wrong then. You're saying that on $100 bet:

 

10-11 odds like the Cubs have would get me: my initial $100 back + $91 (10/11=.91) or you could think of it as bet $11 to win/net $10

9-5 odds for the Brewers: my initial $100 back + $180 (9/5=1.8) or you could think of it as bet $5 to win/net $9

 

Is that right?

[MelGroceryStocker]

Correct. A $100 bet on the Cubs would net $90.91

[heresrobin]

Thanks Mel. I edited my post above to change the payouts.

 

I will probably put a little money on the Brewers to win the NL Pennant just for the heck of it.
