Will books be dead if red Sox win ws?

If you have Boston 12-1 why would you not hedge when the other team is plus money? Dodgers win this. Better pitching and DH don’t matter when La can roll out so many lineups. Dodgers in 5. 6 at most

Yes, the books will be dead if the Sawx win the WS.

Unless all the betting on the games, props, in-game, parlays, etc., etc. related to the WS somehow saves them.  So against all odds, I'll show up at the Sportsbook here in a couple weeks - hoping that those poor bastards are still operating.

Thanks for the heads up.  

Buddy,

I get your drift....but the sportsbooks (I only speak of knowledge of the boys here in Vegas) never really worry about their liabilities - and sometimes, when they announce that they "Need the Dodgers"  (like they have been doing today) it's an open invitation to get the public to bet more.  And remember this.....the books are not unlike other businesses - you come in to bet the Red Sox....and thinking you have a sure thing, end up betting Baskets and footies too.  

These guys aren't bad with numbers....but they're World Class at human psychology when it comes to gambling.  My reply was a bit wry....but the books are companies - they don't just have one bet going.  The WS handle isn't bad....but it's just a piece of today's business along with soccer (VERY strong today), hoops, and prelim "tempter lines on foots.

Good luck in your bets!

 no way MLB has LA lose in back to back WS

Rangers lost b2b WS in '10 & '11, to teams that had already won multiple WS titles. Where was the mlb then to ensure Rangers fans tasted their long awaited for first-ever WS title? Why is LA's spot any different now to the Rangers situation when playing in the 2011 WS?
