Those of you who have read my posts in the Baseball Forum will remember how I mention that the Detroit Tigers have been a .250 team, meaning that they win 1 game in 4 this year. If a person betting against a .250 team took an average odds of -300 they would come out even.
Yet even recent odds have been as high as -150 and have been regularly under the -250 level for this team. That would seem to me to be an invitation to bet against them at these odds.
Are the books hesistant to put up odds at -300 on a regular basis, fearing that the public will not bet such odds?
