Gotta lean on the Yanks now. Esp with Schilling out for Game 5.

Only thing that scares me is that the Yanks don't do well vs. Wakefield and they have to play 3 in Boston.

wow, i think you may have missed your chance at betting the series. The time to do it was yesterday when it was at Yanks -140. Actually, once the Schilling news broke the line went to -140 to -165 in a matter of 10 minutes.

Although I do think they will win, -420 is a lil ridiculous of a price dontcha think.

You are better off betting the individual games since they must win those to win the series

Just my 2 cents.....GOOD LUCK!

I can't disagree with what you guys said, but with the Yanks up 2 games, wouldn't it be safe to throw a couple of bucks on them for the series?

Honestly, I thought the Sox would win this series with Schilling being able to go three games, but now it doesn't look like it... Have to figure the Yanks are a solid value to win the series.

Boy that makes a lot of sense..........LET ME KNOW WHICH OF THE 2 GAMES THEY ARE GOING TO WIN........IS IT GM 3 AND 4 OR GAME 4 AND 5 OR GAME 3 AND 7..ETC ETC ETC........


As you can see this makes absolutely no sense because even if you think the Yanks are going to win the series the only way this would work is if they lost the next 3 and then you could bet game 6 and 7. If a person really likes the Yankees to win the series, there is still no way of knowing which 2 of the next 5 they will win..........

hey mav if you were referring to me I really hope I don't have to explain it, but I will give you a hint the sox can't win the next 5 games can they? that would be -5 units give or take some change not -420

They only have to win 2 of the next 5 but which 2......you could bet every game and they could go 2-3......you lose $$$$

If you lay -420........you win

Again I dont see how you think betting each individual game will work.......of course it works if like they win the next 2 or the next 2 out of 3 etc........but who knows if that will happen....
