G Sizemore (to lose) -850

Thoughts?

odds are big any of the pariticpants lose, but how much you gonna bet on that?

[dwaechte]

The whole thing is such a crapshoot that I wouldn't take odds worse than -800 on any of them.

Yeah, it's anyones game....who's stroking them on this particular night is anyones guess. Like the the dog odds rather then bet on someone to lose.

These are fun bets...best enjoyed with alcohol.

I'm taking Hamilton to lose on MB; it's at -390 now but it seems he's the hot choice so I'll wait. I mean come on, it'll be his first year of the derby and look at his home/away AB/HR split:

28ABs/HR away
13ABs/HR home

I'll also probably take Morneau; he's @ +560 on MB.

I must be stupid but what's the field bet on MB?

[JBC77]

I asked myself the same question about the field bet, there was a little cash on it when I checked on MB. Not sure, I was under the impression they had all the entrants in the derby listed. Maybe a last minute replacement or something?

[BadBeatBodog]

There are now even better odds listed for the Field @ +600, and suddenly there is a 'to lose' bet for field @ -50000 with a max of $500 haha

[ryanXL977]

i really think morneau is good value. its a total crapshoot though!

I like Morneau a lot, I like Berkman too.

Make sure you bet it at CW. You can only lose $100 or win $11.17.



P.S. Haven't you learned anything from Ana?

CW isn't even offering those "to lose" odds. I was quoting a Matchbook line...

And, you can lay $850 at CW if you wanted..

[SBR Lou]

Just bought some of Ryan Braun at +1100.

[BeatTheJerk]

this might not be a sexy or pretty name ........ but Dan Uggla +850

Both of you guys are suckers, right handed guys are sucker bets

So I guess Hamilton is the 'best bet' in your eyes?

No home run derby is an average hitters game. Everyone has home run power. Not about hitting 450 footers. And Hamilton not a dead pull hitter like some other lefties. Berkman is the most likely to win
