Did anyone actually grab a series price on the Fish when it was 3-1 with Prior and Wood scheduled?

I almost did the opposite for the "free money", but eventually came to my senses.

Congrats to anyone that cashed in big.

Fla was +700 with these last 2 games to go

I'd hope a few hedgers got down.

Nope. I didnt think even the Cubs could blow that.

You can almost always get a better price by playing the investment + winnings on each game individually.

GreenDober kepy telling me that the Fish had a chance tonight. Should have listened to that guy.

yes lander,
the price i got was +790 after game 5, I was gonna hedge it, but decided against it after seeing the Fish all season eat up fastball pitchers and looking closer at the numbers between the two starters.
The icing on the cake was seeing Dusty bring in Farnsworth both games (strictly a fireballer) after Prior and Wood, two fireballers as well. Relief pitchers work well because they throw off batters timing, the Marlins timing was perfect all night.

I was biased being a Marlin fan, but saw good value in a publicly and big pitcher biased line as a handicapper.

BTW, I'd much rather play the Yanks than BoSox, because I think Wakefield will eat up the Marlins with his junk, and think Burkett's nibbling will give them trouble as well.
