have $1000 on the astros to win $52,500

NewMoney · Oct 15, 2005

to win WS. what would u guys do with it. i am thinking just let it ride all the way out.

WorldNumberOne · Oct 15, 2005

you have to hedge some of it .. be kinda dumb not too ..

snoopol · Oct 15, 2005

Agree with WNO. If u wanna let it ride u got pretty good chance but at least hedge to get your 1k back just in case they dont win.

They were 52-1? Lost Beltran, but still seems pretty high odds for a team that was in the Final 4 the previous year.

Yea, I got 5,000 to win 262,500

LOL

koidog · Oct 15, 2005

I'm calling bullshit too.

barman · Oct 15, 2005

Sounds fishy...but in mid May the Stros were in bottom quarter of MLB standings.

NewMoney · Oct 15, 2005

actually got them at the all-star break at that. the greek also included the reds and rockies. how nice. LOL

have no idea why anyone would bother making this up.

Buckpasser · Oct 15, 2005

If you are astute enough to bet a dime on the Astros at 52/1, you don't need anyone's advice as to what to do now. Please help me with this dilemma, RX posters. Sure.

NewMoney · Oct 15, 2005

lol,

you're right, kinda just wanted to brag.

i still think they probably will lose,(so have to brag now) but it will be a fun ride.

David1 from the Royal fiasco just emailed me

He wants to get in touch with you and possibly do a truth seminar around the U.S.

Start hedging now because the White Sox are the team to beat. I still think St. Louis will find a way.

wow now thats a big bet:smoker2:

brewers7 · Oct 16, 2005

That's an easy one...

Let it ride until they face an elimination game...

THEN you hedge and get AT LEAST your $1000 back...

GL...

REDEYE · Oct 16, 2005

I tell ya, you really didn't have to wager alot to get to 50K in the spring when this team was 15 games under 500. Alot of shops were offering a helluva alot better then 52 /1. I got 80/1 to just win the NL I've been hedging like crazy to even things out

royalfan · Oct 16, 2005

I got em to win NL at 25-1 but I waited until they got the wild card lead to do it so not as big a price.

REDEYE · Oct 16, 2005

wtts was offering 6/1 on wild card even after they caught up. made a nice haul on that :money8:

Great minds think alike brother.

Doug · Oct 16, 2005

Nice spot to be in ! It depends upon your individual circumstances, no advice from me, but multiple hedges exist, now !

Your goal would be need to be known. I guess if it was me I'd lock in some portion of it.

ChuckSims · Oct 16, 2005

I bet the Houston Astros at 100-1 to win the NL Pennant. Just got an e-mail from BCN...they voided my wager.
