Being someone who is 40 years old and having limited knowledge of the Royals when they were truly good, its suriel to see them as the favorates 6/5 to win the whole thing. Seems like Vegas feels very good about them, or at least that's where the money is going.

Just amazing, go Royals!!!

Pretty sure they opened the season at 30:1

I think being favored is mostly simply because the Royals are up 2-0. SF is up 1-0. The other two teams are obviously down 0-2 and 0-1.

Therefore, the Royals have the best chance of advancing to the WS, which of course is the first step in winning it.

Also, the casual fan's money probably is going to KC in somewhat of a bandwagon effect.

Holyshit 30 to 1. Wow. Reminds me of this friend of a friend i knew who put down 200 bucks at the beginning of the 08 season on KU to win it all. Kid won like 2k or something ridiculous

I bet back in March 15/1 to win the AL and 30/1 to win WS.Only $20 on each a buddy of mine sent a $50 bill with me and did the WS only.

I got them at 35/1 or 30/1 I believe for $50 back in June in Vegas. Better not lose that ticket. Wish me luck

Maybe, but this is Vegas. Real money being put down. They historically get it right down the middle. And they win. No BS. No fan spin. I'm sure they are factoring in more than X's and 0'S. The "hot" team in the playoffs has a proven track record of success. That has to be a part of Vegas's numbers.

The Royals deserve to be the #1 seed. The favorite. They earned it the old fashioned way.

Mail them in? If I know you, and I think I do, you'll be cashing those betting slips in person.

True, but I guarantee you the Royals will be favored straight up in a WS vs the Cardinals or Giants. Royals have a better record than SF and dismantled them in the regular season, and only one game worse than STL. Combine that with the fact that whenever the Royals get a home game w the DH they have even more if an advantage

Hell, even if I wasn't a Royals fan I'd be pulling for you on that! That'll pay for the next Vegas trip! At least the getting out there and some of the fun.

Problem is the tickets have to be cashed 120 days from event date and I'm not scheduled till March Madness as I've already been twice this year.

Don't count it out yet. The back end of the rain is already through Salina and heading KC's way. Give it another 3 hours and it should be near KC.
