Olympic Baseball Props

simpleton · May 18, 2003

I'm generally not the type that will pass on good plays when I see them, but I guess with Spring in the air, and the birds chirping outside, I can't resist helping out my fellow gamers.

There is a great prop offered in Olympic, but you better hurry and jump on it before the linemoves. Here is is.

Number of runs scored in American League will be a
853 Odd Number -115
854 Even Number -115

Obviously, the correct play is "ODD". Whenever there is a lot of day games in the AL, the total runs usually fall on odd. Not sure why, but it must have something to do with the ball carrying better in the daytime. Also, I note that Lilly is pitching for the A's, and I'm sure you all know that he's a total runs Odd pitcher, as 83% of his starts the last two years the AL total runs has landed on Odd.

No thanks are necessary. Im sure most of you picked up on this one already, but just in case there are a few stragglers out there, i decided to post it.

if six out of seven fall odd the total wiil be even.
two wrongs may not make a right but two odds make an even.
also any number of evens makes an even.
basicly what you are betting is that the number of odd games in the american league today won't be exactly 2 4 or 6.

a -115 on something that has a 50/50 chance is a ripoff
i owuldt put -115 on a baseball game let alone a worthless baseball prop

I probably won't be able to sleep with all teh anticipation waiting for these numbers to come up.

Love the book but these props are retarded.

Ninja · May 18, 2003

Just another worthless, mindless, flip-a-coin type prop that Oly has resorted to using. They used to be the King of Props, but now it's almost embarrassing to see the useless high-juice junk they throw out there.

It's kinda sad to see how far down they've gone in this area. I hope they turn it around soon.

FOUR ODDS AND 3 EVENS = EVEN IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE TODAY

Agree 100%

Keep playing into (some, certainly not all of) these 30c lines and you'll be broke before you can 'say proposition.'

These are just in place as a novelty and a courtesy to players.

soccerbob · May 18, 2003

Ninja- Well said. Embarassing is the right word to use for their props and the juice they put on them. Olympic as a book has slid quite a bit and their heavy juice on everything is a big reason why. A few weeks ago they had a soccer total at 2 1/2 over -250 and the under at +150 No, I'm not joking. That's a travesty.

DannyMay · May 18, 2003

Simpleton was joking.

docdekay · May 18, 2003

uhhh...ya think?

trytrytry · May 18, 2003

Olympic does have an amazing number of props that are just plain funny to look over due to the juice they have. but what is the big deal? It does not slow down their software, does not limit the number of decent wagers they have, and does no harm other than take a small amount of money from poor players who play that stuff (and that means more money in the Olympic "pool" to play people who are winners, sponsor contests, etc.). The only way to get paid from an off shore book is to have them make more than they lose. I say buyer beware. Now you might make an argument that Olympic is losing players and handle due to people tired of supporting a book that offers such trash to players. And that could be bad for business in the end, but I don’t see much evidence of that. As long as the sportsbook always honors the wagers it does confirm to the players (win or lose) and pays pretty fast most of us are good with that.
