My biggest wager of my gambling life;  

 

Dodgers to win the World Series -160  

 

Simply put, nobody is beating this team.  They have purchased every good player in the league, and with that comes winning.      

 

$48,000 to win $30,000    

 

See you guys when they're hoisting the trophy, and I'm walking to the cage to collect.

Reading this two weeks later, I chuckle at my own snarky sarcasm.

The Dodgers are now +200 to win the World Series. I guess you were right, that Dodgers -200 was absolutely comical!

Adding:  

 

Dodgers to win the World Series

$40,000 to win $20,000.      

 

 

TOTAL combined wagers now is:  $88,000 to win $50,000

 

Is it still a SURE winner?

So much unintentional comedy packed into just three sentences!

"Knowing" and the outcome happening are 2 different things. If it was that easy, everyone would be millionaires over and over. I'm not young, so I'm not going big. I make enough each month to make the cost of living more bearable.

If the Dodgers win game one, then history is on their side with a higher than 65% series win %. But don't tell us this is a sure thing when some of us have been doing this for more than 20 years.

There's a reason the house always wins in the long run.

 

I found someone in this thread making a lot of sense.   peace_5

Well I got Toronto pre-series at +185 and the Dodgers are now +198 to win and favored in game 6.

So a unit on each at this points nets out at either .85 or .98.

Running sportsbetting like a small business and take the gamble out wherever possible is the way to go.
