No one scores the first three runs in a row pays 16-1 Can this be right?

Can someone talk me out of putting a shit load on this bet? I found it on Bodog and it is for the Rays and Rangers game?

good luck. the total is high so that could be a big start for someone or they could trade punches.

don't you think that is pretty high odds?

You are looking at that prop wrong. They are asking WHO is going to be the first team to score 3 runs. If you take the 16/1 prop you are saying that neither team is going to score 3 runs.

They aren't asking "who is going to score the first 3 runs in a row" just who is going to score the first 3 runs.

I went to bodog and looked at the prop and that is what I'm thinking.

I don't believe the game is going to end 2-1.

It's your money to gamble with but there are going to be more than 3 runs scored by someone today. If the total was lower then you might have something but with the total around 10.5 or 11 it is extremely rare to have a game go 2-0 or 2-1.
