New series price?

What price will the Tigers be available after this one? I am thinking I might bite...

kenny rogers game 3.

+540?

+510 i guess

Yanks don't scare me. Then again no one in the playoffs does. Tigers starting on the road is good, last thing an inexperienced playoff team needs is to start at home with all that pressure. I think after this fiasco of clutch hitting they will settle in and give them all they can handle.

That was a very sharp move if you did it.

I got +575 last night just before the game. Still a long way to go, but I definitely wasn't buying into the common wisdom that a team that loses just one game on the road was dead.

There is a long way to go, but you definately have the upper hand if you want to hedge it down the road. If Detroit wins game 3, you could buy some of the Yanks and lock in a nice profit. Best of luck!

yanks back down to -117 to win the pennant at wsex interactives...that loss def took a chunk out of their odds to win the pennant

hedge away boys

I bet an amount which makes little sense to hedge on. Maybe if they win game 3 I might hedge a bit, but it really was just a straight value bet saying the Tigers would win at least 20% of the time, nothing more.

These odds makers always over move the series odds and the books put them up anyway. Sometimes it's better to wait until after the series starts to bet a series price. Like the Padres for an example. If you like the Padres in the series but understand that they might lose the first game because of Carpenter then wait till after the first game and if they do lose the first game then the odds makers will over move the series line and now is the chance to bet the Padres.

Everyone knew that the Cards might win the first game and still lose the series. Then the Cards did win the first game and then the series price moving as far as it did was wrong! No way has the series changed in anyway and the odds makers reaction is a mystery. Why do they think the Cards should be a big favorite just because they won a game they had to win just to have a chance in the series. The odds makers always over react and don't think at all about what they are doing.

But they know what ever they do the players will find a way to lose. Odds making is the most overated part of this business. The odds makers have been horrible over the last 20 years and it hasn't appeared to hurt the book makers, But it does hurt them. They are just lucky enough to have most of their bettors be losers who couldn't win no matter what odds they had.

Don't be in awe of the odds makers. If they knew what they were doing they wouldn't be working for someone else. They would use their super knowledge and pick apart the books who wouldn't know what odds to use if these super odds makers kept the info to themselves to make money the easy way.

They don't know anymore than you and I.
