Anyone bet on or against same team every game?

MysteryMan · Oct 6, 2009

Has anyone ever bet on or against the same team every game for a season? For example, bet on the Yankees to win every game since they win 100+ or bet against the Nationals every game because they lose 100+? Just wondering if anyone has done this and if so how sucessful was it?

dude i was wondering the same thing. i was gonna do something like this with the lakers this nba season.
some expert knowledge would be useful

The problem lies in that the Yanks are most always large faves.

The juice on those games they lose when they are 2-1 or more is why it won't work.

I would assume the same applies to the Nats opponents.

Yeah, I thought about the juice factor as well. I would probably break even if lucky. The Lakers idea is good though. They will lose maybe 20 games this year.

someone posted an article from usatoday.com in the offshore forum a couple months ago. they broke it down to how much you would have won on each team if you had bet them to win every game.....interesting article

If you didn't start betting the Yankees until after their slow start then it would have been even better.
