    I saw the Cards 35 to 1 to win the World Series the other day….

    And didn’t even pull the trigger. Not even for some Pizza money. They are on fire. Meanwhile the Reds biggest choke job I have seen in a while. Haven’t won a 3 games series for at least a month. Had the easiest schedule down the stretch and can’t even beat my lowly Pirates.

    Been rooting against the Cards since 2012. Early September that year when they were fighting for a wild card I bet an 80-1 World Series Future STL vs. Det. (250 to win 20K). STL was up 3-1 against SF in the NLCS & I was already counting my money without even thinking about hedging after Det. already swept the Yanks to make the WS. Let's just say I should’ve hedged.

    very rarely is a baseball team so good that futures on other teams are worthless. like in the NBA

    but dodgers are so good and so much experience i cant even make any futures in MLB this year

    I think they will get past the wild card game. 35 to 1 could potentially provide some hedge options. Not sure they will win the World Series but 35 to 1? They were definitely worth a shot at that point. We have seen them do this before. Not going to be shocked at all if they win the NL pennant.

    Cards are my team as some of you may know. Something wrong with the line tonight. -175 with jack coming back playing the scrubs who have nothing to play for not to mention a 13 game winninh streak where 14 would tie franchise history..-175??? This should be -250 at least

    don’t they have an “f” rating with SBR? Not that I fully trust SBR ratings, I mean they have intertops as an “a” book ffs. I do steer clear of any book they give an “f” to though….

    they for some reason arent rated here. but they are a sister book to sbg global (D)

    again ratings dont mean much with these sites. id feel safe having 2-3k there

    They have some sticks in that line up, Arenado, Goldie, O’Neil is absolutely SHREDDED. That young kid I think Carlson is his name? Plus they have been playing fantastic defense.

    I took them at +4000 for 750 the other day. I still like white sox to win but I had a gut feeling the cards were a team that might mess it up so had to cover myself a little

    Cards are an easy team to root for, they've won more rings in the history of the sport not named NY Yankees.
    Midwest (I know, I'm a KC fan) and St. Louis fans, are some of the best in the business.

    Having said all that, I have no idea how they're doing it?
    On paper their record says St. Louis is double digit wins better than KC, Minn. or Cle, but the team Wins Above Replacement says they are equal to the aforementioned three.

    Pitching?
    (Which almost always wins, usually but not always) is sub par.

    They will be underdogs in the wildcard game

    Underdogs against any team in the LDS

    Underdogs against any team in the LCS

    Underdogs in the World Series

    Even if you generously price them at +130 for each leg (which means facing the Giants not the Dodgers, etc), true odds are 27:1

    no blues 2 years ago was better. they were 300-1 and were the worst team in the NHL at mid-season

    hopefully flaherty will be 100% for the wildcard game

    Cards are not folding easily after breaking the win streak. Still could be money betting on them going forward.
