heres what i think category by category:

phelps best male athlete, no value
serena best female athlete, candace could win, thats all... +120 is good value
best team is a crapshoot, uconn at +900 has megavalue... i mean, they were the best "team" in their sport by far
matt ryan for breakthrough, little value
phelps lock for recordbreaker, no value at all
male college has to be tebow, right? I mean blake, no he lost, and bradford lost too
international I like bolt at +175, good value
baseball no value on pooholes
no way they give it to kobe over lebron, lebron -125 to the bank
best nfl all are deserving, something tells me AP wins at +175
nhl should be ovechkin but it'll be crosby, no value
shaun white?
racer i have no idea
boxing should be pacman, but who knows

ESPY Awards: Who will win the Best Team Award?

+1000 some spots. this team went undefeated and won every game by dbl digits. could be the sleeper. hell, they got my vote

xxdjstriderxx · 07-08-09, 08:57 AM

dude serena is a ****ing lock. she just won wimbledon over her sister venus. id put $100 on that no doubt.
100 on lebron is good for value also, but then again he doesnt have what..10 gold medals?

ryan sheckler has some value, so does ovchekin

Reload · 07-08-09, 09:06 AM

Phelps has to be way more of a lock than -525. Seems like the free-est money ever.

Guess your email worked!

stats13 · 07-16-09, 11:50 AM

yeah someone made the decision to pay out. beted is the most honest book i've ever dealt with. they really do work hard for hte customer, evne when they get things wrong, they aren't afraid to change.

Kakaruko · 07-16-09, 11:53 AM

nice..

SportsTerminator · 07-17-09, 06:47 PM

I would just load up on Nadal... that seems to be the easiest pick...

andywend · 07-18-09, 04:23 AM

ESPY Awards: Who will win the Best NFL Player Award?
Adrian Peterson (Vikings) +175 - -
James Harrison (Steelers) +175 - -
Kurt Warner (Cards) +200 - -
Larry Fitzgerald (Cards) +200 - -
Peyton Manning (Colts) +200 - -

5 possible choices, evenly matched and the highest price is +200.

BetED is certainly taking a healthy vig on these props.

Aren't they the site that stiffed that guy to the tune of over $6,000?

One would figure a site like that would take a smaller vig.

stats13 · 07-18-09, 06:13 AM

you guys see my post about the winners already being announced and the show already happening

shantystar · 10-26-09, 01:43 PM
