My American League Future Bets

LT Profits · 10-01-2007, 10:17 AM

All bets are at Matchbook, so I have the option of selling some pieces off later. (Payouts are after 2% commission)

AL Pennant
Boston +209 - 1 unit to win 2.04 units
Cleveland +410 - 0.5 units to win 2.01 units

If both of these teams win their first round series, Cleveland will be closer to +200 and I will sell off the entire future, locking in a free profit of about 1 unit. This has the same effect of getting +200 or so for a series bet vs. the Yankees.

If either of the two teams loses in the first round, I will let the remaining future wager ride.

I will post my National League futures after tonight's playoff game.
