    My biggest wager of my gambling life;  

     

    Dodgers to win the World Series -160  

     

    Simply put, nobody is beating this team.  They have purchased every good player in the league, and with that comes winning.      

     

    $48,000 to win $30,000    

     

    See you guys when they're hoisting the trophy, and I'm walking to the cage to collect.

    The Dodgers are now +200 to win the World Series. I guess you were right, that Dodgers -200 was absolutely comical!

    $40,000 to win $20,000.      

     

     

    TOTAL combined wagers now is:  $88,000 to win $50,000

     

    Is it still a SURE winner?

    If the Dodgers win game one, then history is on their side with a higher than 65% series win %. But don't tell us this is a sure thing when some of us have been doing this for more than 20 years.

    There's a reason the house always wins in the long run.
