Was listening today to the new episode of Chad Millman’s Behind the Bet$ podcast for ESPN, a show I tend to enjoy despite not being a huge sports bettor.
The focus of this new one is the upcoming Major League Baseball seasons, and the conversation between Millman and his guests ranged over several topics although mostly had to do with futures bets, including those “over/under” bets on total games won as well as bets on a team winning their division, league, or World Series.
The conversation began with the Chicago Cubs, who Millman pointed out had opened at 10-to-1 to win the World Series this year and now had moved all of the way to a kind of ridiculous 4-to-1 (I’m not sure which sportsbook he’s using).
