MLB World Series odds

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

first off, there's only 3 casinos with hold em, the Bellagio being far and away the best.

 

second, I saw these odds several days of jager shots and hallucinogenic drugs ago, so I may make some mistakes

[Mik 0]

Worst bet on the list is the Mets.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Tigers 15-1?

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

The Phillies are a good investment at 25-1.

[the max 0]

Nationals should be at least 1000-1.

[NYU 0]

Worst bet on the list is the Mets.

Shall I try to guess who you feel should have gotten the best odds in the NL East?

 

I'm a little surprised the Rangers are so high at 35-1. And the Nationals at 150-1 is absurd.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

I'm surprised the Astros are 25-1. With their offense lacking a leadoff hitter unless Willy Taveras steps up and no protection for Bagwell the offense doesn't look too great. I guess they figure our pitching staff can get us a lot of 2-1 and 3-2 wins.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Jason Lane is primed to step up, and the Astros still have Lance Berkman.

[Guest Shadow]

do the reds not exist to the oddsmakers?

[Mik 0]

You can guess all you want, but I would think the Braves should have gotten the best odds.

 

Pussy.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

the Reds do exist, but I don't remember thier odds. The're the fucking Reds for god sake.

Sure.

 

And try to keep the flaming away from the Sports folder. Show some civility Mik, please.

 

Taking a second glance through the list, even more odds just look so questionable. Tigers at 15-1? Indians at 20-1? Seems off to me.

It is important to remember that odds are set to minimize risk, not necessarily to produce the best projections.

I know you take every opportunity to look cool at my expense, but if you ACTUALLY go back and read all of my posts and not just the glaring ones that stick out, you'd see that I'm not a blind Marlins apologist. I'm a fan who is excited about the team for 2005, not some clueless putz who will espouse the greatness of whatever is there at the time.

 

And thanks for asking to keep the flames away from the sports folder, even though you were obviously flame baiting.

 

I'll be dealing with this all season, I'm guessing.

Mik, come on. We're trying to have baseball discussion here.

[Mik 0]

You're pathetic.

[Bored 0]

M's 10-1

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

They're kidding, right?

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

I've never heard of there being an actual favourite for a world championship. I thought everyone, seeing as how the actual odds are about one in thirty, start off as a "You get more money than you bet".

 

I think I'm gonna plunk down a bill on the Jays.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Jason Lane is primed to step up, and the Astros still have Lance Berkman.

Well Berkman won't be there until probably May, and Lane's had a good spring, but I'll take a wait-and-see if he can do it for a full year.

[KingPK 0]

You're pathetic.

All right, we're not going to have this little sniping all season long. Everyone, stop needling Mik and Mik, stop egging them on by needling them back.

 

Seriously, it's pathetic all around.

Well, he did say he saw them during a Jager and shroom haze, so it's quite possible he just imagined the whole thing.

 

That said, I got $5 on the Twins.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

technically I saw them before the jager and shrooms.

Cubs 3-1

Just proves how dumb the general public is.

Ya NYU...disagreeing with Mik = flame baiting.

Three? I saw over a dozen when I was there last month, and that was just the ones I actually went to.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

I don't know where you cut and pasted those from, but I think I'll go there next time. Fuck you and your shitty buffet Tropicana.

Go back and read what I wrote you fat little shut in, I didn't even mention the Marlins until someone brought it up.

[NYU 0]

Mik, stop trying to flamebait Mascot. This thread is about World Series odds, so let's keep it that way.

 

And the odds iggy posted up seem much more accurate. Even I wouldn't have put the Mets at 8/1. 15/1 is more reasonable. There are still some questionable calls on there -- Astros at 18/1? -- but it looks to be more sensible overall.
