Anyone play some MLB futures at the start of the season that look like LOSERS?

[sherman]

I do.

I had the Red Sox to win the AL East.

 

[blueedwards]

i have the following:

royals to win the a.l. central +550

cardinals to win the n.l. central +450

cubs under 94 wins

devil rays not to finish last in a.l. east +1500

mariners to win the world series +1800

yankees total wins -6.5 over cubs

marlins to win the n.l. east +700

phillies to win the world series +1500

 

[sherman]

Dont be so quick to smile on the cubs under.

 

[blueedwards]

they have to go 32-13 the rest of the way for me to lose.

 

[sherman]

Ouch. Guess I was way off. Well in that case Blue, congrats!

 

[blueedwards]

thanks bro. i put more on the phillies bet than i should have. they are not totally out of it but, it looks pretty bad.

i should stick to futures though...the regular bases bets are killing me.

 

[IK]

I have a Blue Jays over 81' wins.....I wrote it off the 2nd week in May

 

[trytrytry]

i got Detroit Under 67 Amazed how many games they will win this year.

 

[winkyduck]

Dodgers UNDER either 82.5 or 84.5 wins. not sure - but it doesn't matter.

it does appear my Padres - OVER will cash, and my Padres 35-1 and 75-1 futures are VERY alive!

 

[sherman]

My MLB futures look like they will be 2-2

Red Sox to win AL East LOSER
Expos OVER WINNER
Royals OVER LOSER
Mariners UNDER WINNER

 

[sherman]

oops i meant Expos UNDER

Whatever book would offer that must have been out of their minds. There are too many other crappy teams in that division. If I recall correctly the Devil rays season win total was 70 and I even saw 72 under -200 somewhere.

So this could easily be scalped with the under 72 -200 and the +1500 not to finish in last place. If they win more than 72 you are assured they wont be in last place. The way it is they could both win.

Not last place +1500 - Geez.

 

[blueedwards]

jk, you will recall that, in the pre-season, the orioles and blue jays had very high expectations. both had season win totals around 82. the o's spent a bunch of money on tejada and lopez, etc. the jays had the young pitching guns, delgado, wells, etc.

also, the total wins on the d-rays was 68.5 or 69.

 

[ChuckSims]

Pirates Un 68

Dodgers Un 83½

Clev Un 74

 

[tkf18ny]

I have the padres at 100-1 to win it all
I got a 20 dollar bonus on a 40 doller dep at intertops so its essentially a 150-1 bet
Im not counting on it but I would have been quite happy if i knew that in mid august theyd have a legit playoff shot

Sorry Blue. Done, cooked, over, fin, final, finite, finished, end, fried, toast, smoked, obliterated, embarrassed, slaughtered, axed...

I am embarrassed to call them my home team right now.
