Is +130 going to be as good as it gets for a Cardinals series win?

[seaborneq]

I am looking for the best odds on the Cards. Post if you see better. Thanks

[pdubb86]

Yeah, are you kidding me?

[DoYouNotGetIT]

Yeah, are you kidding me?

Public will always favor AL, because every statistic for batting looks better in the AL with the DH and AL has more public teams. Cardinals are the better team. They have way better pitching and also have hotter (better) hitters than either AL team.

I would hate to wait for the cards to win game 1.

[pdubb86]

+125 here mate only expect it to drop at this point although I can appreciate your question, hence Cardinals if they lose first game, I can see Boston being up on series at some point and this having more value, but people should know including the books that its a well worth matchup.

[BMoreBird]

i took the red sox at 4.5 -1 before post season. i took cardinals for a smaller amount also somewhere in middle of post season at 3.5-1. so i win more if the red sox win the series, but im thinking of just betting the cards at +120 so its guaranteed the same amount either way it goes.

series bets are for suckers, play it game by game

Lose all 7 games of the series then who's the sucker? If it were that easy there would be no series prices. You try it your way and I'll try it mine. Bet all of the games Grand wizard.

I meant spot betting, not bet every game. Plus there isn't 7 games to lose if you're leaning toward one team.

here's why series bets are stupid

If your team wins game 1, you were better off just betting game 1 instead of having to sweat the rest of the series. If your team loses Game 1, you were better off waiting for the adjusted series price after the game 1 loss.

Take The Tigers-Sox Series for Example. People who bet Detroit game 1 instead of series won

People who bet Sox Series @+180 after game 1 instead of the -125 at the beginning won more money. And People who Spot bet the Sox Game 2 and Game 3 won even more than both of those series bets.

It's a lose-lose Prop, compared to spot betting.

The only exception would be if you like somebody that is something like +1000 for the series, and you won't get that price for an individual game.

I should have pounded the +130, the best I could do today was cards +117. Damn.

I took sox for the series and have -135. Winning game 1 has me feeling mighty nice though. I may take them SU tmrw. Wasn't to sure if they would actually win vs Wainwright. Wacha is a different monster, however, Sox bats tonight are very convincing. Wacha will be tested thats for sure!

[smarotta09]

I have STL +240 now

[pdubb86]

He was talking pre-series.
Likewise I put more at +195 just to hedge since series is now tied.

I've said this before and I'll say it again - this is horrid, horrid logic coming from someone who claims to be sharp.

A series bet is meant for when you think a team is better than the other and will prevail over the 5 or 7 games or whatever it is. You don't know if they'll win game 1 or any individual game for that matter, you just feel that in the end they'll come out on top. You aren't particularly sold on betting on game 1 but aren't either ready to take the risk that team wins 1 consequently losing the value.

To put it into perspective, your "logic" also insinuates full game bets in say, tennis are stupid. If you bet the match instead of the 1st set and your player wins the 1st set then loses, you were better off just betting the 1st set. If they lose the first set and go on to win, then you were better off waiting to live bet after the first set. Yeah, great logic.

[Seto]

The point is - betting game by game (spot betting) or betting the series are 2 different things that can both present advantages depending on your take on the series. Sometimes one has a feel for how the whole thing is going to go right awat. Sometimes one feels more comfortable reacting to individual games and spot betting a particular game later in the series.

This guy has not been the same since he lost all his guarantees on okc v miami in the 2012 finals. I used to think he was sharp too.

Wrong guy buddy. I went huge on the heat.

I was obviously talking about Bettingwizard. He is the only guy I'm bashing here. Have no problems with you.

My bad. Continue. Sweep the leg.

I pretty much made my point. Curious to see what he has to answer. I told him the exact same thing during the NBA playoffs and he vainshed from the thread.

Maybe there is something I'm not seeing here that he can teach me. However I doubt it. Just curious to see an answer.

[seaborneq]

Too much papi

[flyboy]

+340 at 5dimes I took it last night and hoping for a cards win tonight. If they win tonight I hedge tomorrow and win some easy money. Only way I can lose money is if the cards lose tonight.

[seaborneq]

Cards up 2-1 and then lose 3 straight. Damn
