The Logic Of Futures

RealFun · Apr 4, 2006

Just wondering....need some explaination
Exemple: CIN Reds
Odds to win the WS 100/1
Odds to win teh NL Pennant 28/1
Odds to win the Central Div NL 50/1

except the fact they move on money....should they keep them in line proportionally.
Did I miss a point here?

I've frequently seen the same odds to win pennant or series.

I know you could have gotten at least 100/1 on pennant and 200/1 on WSW with Reds. Still can I'm sure.

you can get Pittsburgh to win the series at 200-1.

They are 1-0.

What's wrong with those odds? They look fine to me. :icon_conf

I think the poster is not sure why they are 50-1 to win the division and only 28-1 to win the nl pennant. That is because no one thinks they will beat St. Louis for the division but they can still make the playoffs as wildcard and if they made the playoffs they wouldn't face St. Louis until the NL championship.

Just as kenny was explaining. The odds of them beating out the best team in the NL over the marathon season is less then Cinci sneaking in as a wild card then winning a couple 7 game series.

Thanx guys...Kenny get a point...tought it will be logical the Reds Division price to be lower than the pennant....and the Pennant to be little less than half the WS price...some like WS=100....NL= 45.....NCD= 30
