I agree that it's tougher to find value in futures, at least in my brief experience looking at lines. Getting the Colts at 6/1 is looking good right, now that the line is at 1/1. Hard to comprehend how the books can have Indy as a virtual coinflip against the rest of the NFL.
Another aspect is that it ties up funds for such an extended period. I put a few more micro bets down at Matchbook, just for fun, but I'd absolutely hate to have any significant money tied up betting a future for an entire season.
Another interesting prop over at Matchbook that I saw: "Will T.O. play again in 2005". I put a buck down that he will not. This seems more of a legal question. Seems like a sports lawyer could find easy value in that bet.
