Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 4242988, member: 35"] Amen [!] to Nan's post. You often read about how much Vegas knows about the quality of teams. Basically not true. They make their considerable money by being very good at what teams will be bet on...what teams not. They often think that well-known teams will get bet on not because they are better but because of their fame. e.g. Yankees/GreenBay/Dallas/UConn. They also have a constant Plan B...too much comes in on somebody...the odds go down. Too little and the bettor will get more favorable odds. What I do not know...Nan, do you? If I bet on a race horse to win at 8-1 odds early in the day and suddenly a lot of money is bet on the same horse to win and the odds go down to 3-1. If he wins, do I get paid at 8-1 or 3-1? My impression in other sports...right or wrong? If I bet on a bad baseball team to win the World Series in March at 200-1 and somehow in early September that team is doing great and the odds for a September bet are now 10-1, I think I would get a payoff at 'my' odds of 200-1...should they win the WS. True or not? [/QUOTE]
