My heaviest to win World Series position...

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

St. Louis Cardinals 9.60-1. Some 8-1. Some in between. Cubs just played their last game against the Cards, for the season. 10 games out, this early favorite has a lot of action, so real deal Cards decent value. Reds a threat, sure. Stats catching up with those losers. Cards very high% of having best record in NL. Other divisions looking like 3 and 4 teams down to the wire. Cards bats and surprising pitching keeps them rolling along. Beginning to distance themselves from field. I am not saying it is them vs. Yanx, but their is value there. Best Wsihes...OF

Probably some value at that number. I'd figure them somewhere between +600 and +700 come playoff time. So if you figure a 100% chance of mkaing the playoffs then there's some value, certainly at 9.6-1.

And if you could get half your number just for NL Pennant that'd be a better bet as they're likely a road dog in the WS, but not before.

Braves at 32 to 1 looks like a bargain.

Obviously Spiro ahead of the game. There are some 8-1's out there still. Best Wishes...OF

Look at the Cubs? Wow. That early action might not make playoffs. Exchanges already up to 14-1 on Cubs. Braves won divsion, 12 straight? Good price for a hedge for sure, but I see no run on it now...

Best I see out there is 7.5-1

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

I made it that way Pancho. Should I buy it and then post or visa-versa. Hate to have to race sharps like you for my own positions. Best

I have no 8 left either, even at old no use ponds.

So essentially this information is useless, you say there is value at 9.6 thru 8 to 1 but none is available anywhere. WTF.

Yes wil, I also got your Atl but at 33-1. Hard to say 7.5-1 vs. 8-1 is useless. To be honest, I posted St. Louis earlier, on this board at 9-1. And after pressing today, I thought my 8-1, only 1/2 limit, would not move it 7.5. Another place took it down. The other 8-1 I got was also dropped bad. When I posted I thought there were some more out there. I was wrong. I knew it when Sancho posted. Oops! Alternative, I go back to posting nothing. Best Wishes...OF

Do what ever you want, but fwiw: I would check around before making this kind of post and mention that maybe the number you played (8-1) is no longer available anywhere. Then advise what would be the lowest number the play is good at. By doing this you make it clear that the play is either still worth a bet or now a lost number. Example: say you play the Bengals +4 opening day, are they still a bet at +3.5?

I didn't bet it, I hate tying up money for a long time.

Go easy on my pal froggy Wil.

Hell, I've got the Cards at 4-1 just to win the Central Division. Made the play in late June.
