voodoochylde Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Original Story Here The oddsmakers have rendered their verdict and they don't think much of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' chances to win this year's Grey Cup. The website www.bodog.ca issued their Grey Cup odds this morning and oddsmakers assigned the Bombers the longest shot on the board at 10-1. Bombers head coach Tim Burke said that sounded like an opportunity to him. "Maybe I will slip down to the U.S and lay a bet," Burke laughed during his daily media availability following practice at Investors Group Field on Friday. The bodog website proclaimed the B.C. Lions the favourite to win this year's Grey Cup at 7-2, followed by the Calgary Stampeders at 4-1, the Montreal Alouettes at 9-2, the Toronto Argonauts at 11-2, the Saskatchewan Roughriders at 13-2, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at 7-1 and the Edmonton Eskimos at 9-1.

DR. CFL Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 These people are experts and calculate odds purely based on stats. To expect and believe otherwise is the things fans and homers rely on. As do teams that try and sell tickets. The most important marketing tool in the sports industry is hope. Ultimately there has to be a winner and a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
