    Cardinal rule do not bet against the Yankees. I don't care how strong you feel either yanks or no play. There's a reason why they've won 27 championships.

    I always factor in what happened decades ago, long before any of the current players were born.

    It makes such a difference.

      Don't bet against Verlander this season. More important rule.

        Why would anyone bet against Babe Ruth, Joe D, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Lou Gehrig, and the Yanks??? Because the 27 championships and these guys are a thing of the past. They have won 7 ws titles in the last 49 yrs.

              Wow. That settles it! The Yanks are the best, even better advice than the OP. I'll never bet against them again.

              Thanks!

                Likewise, never bet against the Boston Celtics or Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs... look at all those championships!

                      Do you know how many games Yankees lost in the playoffs? Hundreds!

                        Ok, you guys don't get the point. Obviously the yanks championships date back almost 100 yrs, however precedent has shown us that they are the most successful breed in sports history. So today you laugh with saying don't bet against babe Ruth, Mickey mantle, Joe d, etc...in 30 yrs we will make the same comparisons to jeter, Tex, granderson, mo, cc,a rod, etc... Point of the matter is this, you bet for an edge for something that statistically or fundamentally gives you a higher percentage then 50/50 to win. What I'm saying is that over the course of history betting against the yanks in the playoffs is no +ev bet.
