White Sox odds to win World Series

Intresting. Don't put too much into theWorld Sports Exchange and the Palms casino odds. Pay more attention to the 12-1 offered at the Stardust. From what I have seen, that is the more likely odds you would get if you bet them in Vegas, right now. I believe Caesar's Palace has the Sox at 20-1 if you want some more value.

(I hope Phil Mickelson was the one who bet the Sox down to 12-1 at the Stardust...he was right on picking the Ravens to win the super bowl in 2001 at 25-1 and had the Patriots last year. (He also bet Mike Weir (a golfer) $20 dollars for 25-1 odds that Jim Furyk would hole out from a greenside bunker in a playoff...and Furyk holed it. $500 bucks in Phil's pocket). I digress...)

Notice how the Cubs are 14-1 to win the World Series. That just takes into account all the Chicago tourists/saps that just place $20 on the Cubs b/c it is there year. You're $2000 in the hole if you have been alive since 1903. :smile:

I mean, after all, that $20 you place on the White Sox to win it all is A LOT smarter bet...isn't it?

Not to be picky or anything, but the Flubbies won the series in 1907 and 1908.

The bottom line is that I wouldn't put any money on either the Sox or the Cubs to win the series this year. Whether the odds are 12-1, 20-1, or 50-1, neither of 'em are gonna be winning it this year.

Hey Ssang...you had the Angels at the beginning of last year, correct?

My point is simply that the chances of you blowing the $10, $100, or whatever are MUCH greater in actuality than 20-1, 12-1, or whatever. It's a bad bet cause the Sox and Cubs chances in reality are more like 500-1. Oh and it doesn't take Nostradamus to tell ya that Chicago teams ain't world series material.
