Any lines on Lockout or No Lockout?

Bodog has "Lockout on March 4" at -300 and "No lockout on March 4" at +200.

They also, interestingly enough in my eyes, have "17-18 regular season games played in 2011" at +350.

Do you really think............?

That the Players' Union will really go for that proposed "18 game" schedule? I mean, I'm sure we, the fans, would love to see it, but I don't think it will ever really happen.

Do you?

From what it sounds like, the only way Goodell and the owners will play next season is if they get the 18-game schedule, so I'm inclined to think there's a better than 22.2% chance of that happening.

Cinquefoil, Thanks for the info.

the key issue is that most football players are not smart with their money, so they wont be a consensus for them to stand together and fight with the owners and goodell, i'll bet that the 18 game will pass, also the media will make a big deal about it, because they still have to pay the nfl tons of money even if they dont play a down next season. So expect some lockout-watch and favrewatch soon.

There won't be a lockout. With the average shelf life of NFL players being so low, most players can't afford a year without pay. The owners (no doubt they would still initially lose money) have more bargaining leverage. They are already rich and would eventually still profit if there is a year without football and the owners get the deal they want.

the odds for the 17-18 game schedule should be +200 a la 33%

I really hope there is no lock out. I cant imagine an 18 game season either. The tool a 16 game regular season even takes on it players is unreal, nevermind an 18 regular season.. In my eyes it would be so stupid to go for an 18 game year.

I like 17-18 game +300!

i cant find the 17-18 game schedule lines on bodog....is it still up?

borednaz · 02-10-11, 06:22 PM

Those lines might even be worth depositing on bodog.. Although the amount of showers I'd have to take afterwards might mitigate that.

lockout is easy money....there is no way they play all games this coming season.
