Teams to bet on this year

Quoted from psgmariner

LA Angels way out to 14/1 and Rangers in to 5/1.

Astros are still best price 1/3 though so am considering taking the money now it seems to be a two horse race. How did you guarantee the profit? Back Houston?

I actually started the season by backing Houston at 33/1, I continued to back them until they were about 3/1 then started backing Texas from about 20/1 down to around 8.1 I think. Now I'm backing LAA from about 5/1, topped up at 12/1 today (you can better prices than that but not with firms that will take my bets). So whatever happens I'll win quite a bit relative to my initial stake. I did the same thing 3 years ago when Oakland won the league in 2012. They had to win the last three games away at Texas to get the pennant and they won them all to net me just under a grand! I think my initial bet in 2012 was about 3 quid or something but I just kept moving with the market.

If you started with Texas I'd wait a bit. I'll think they'll get closer, the rest of the season mainly sees the teams play one another. Definitely worth topping up on the American League or World Series bets. You can still make a profit even if they don't actually win them just by the odds dropping allowing you to place opposing bets,

Tom Tomsk won. If anyones looking for a different read to todays events

Thanks hag rid.made them part of a little Yankee which came up trumps.any reason for chancing upon Tomsk?

One goal away in the Gateshead/Lincoln game and obviously Town were dog eggs in front of goal on the 2/1 o3.5. That's why it's called gambling.

Texas down to 7/2 now. They are 1 game into a 4 game series at the Mariners who don't have anything much to play for. The Angels look like they have too much to do now they need to win 80% of their games I reckon to win the pennant. The Astros are definitely starting to wobble and Sonny Gray is pitching for Oakland tonight so they could drop another game which means Texas could catch them up if they win their game and their two games in hand. The bet is looking good! I've even topped up a bit on 7/2!

Yep being keeping a close eye on the Rangers and Astros via Twitter. I put £10 on Rangers at 16/1 and have enjoyed watching it shrink.

Rangers getting humped 5-0 tonight as they did last night. Betting was suspended this morning when I checked.

When Felix is pitching for the Mariners its tough to win.  Lots of inter division games coming up going to be a very interesting last three weeks or so.

So far this season, a good team to back are whoever are playing Brechin City,

They've lost every game so far!  

Jeremy Corbyn not to win has to be a no-brainer at the moment. A tenner will win you £135 after commision on Betfair at the moment. There have been no meaningful polls of those eligible to vote. Everyone is saying Corbyn will win, just as everyone "knew" it was going to be a hung parlianment (I looked at the data and backed a Tory majority in May). This time there is no data but we've had months of everyone saying Labour can't win the election with JC as leader. I think most people accept that and will vote likewise on the ballot paper. Don't forget JC will have to get over 50% of 1st choice votes to win in all likelehood as most other people will have put him 4th.
