Odds for the BC Classic at TheGreek.com

[Dunbar]

TheGreek is one of the sharpest offshore sportsbooks. (fwiw, they are also on almost anyone's list of the top 3 reliable.) They now have fixed odds lines up for all the BC races, plus a lot of matchups on each race. I think this link will get you to the page: http://thegreek.com/sports/Horses/hselections.asp

Here are the current (fixed) odds for the Classic:

1101 Lawyer Ron +385
1102 Street Sense +485
1103 Any Given Saturday +395
1104 Curlin +445
1105 George Washington +1015
1106 Awesome Gem +2550
1107 Diamond Stripes +4050
1108 Hard Spun +825
1109 Tiago +1415

"+385" means you are getting 3.85 to 1. I like those odds on LR.

Surprisinongly little change as of this morning, although TheGreek has always been more reluctant to move lines than Pinnacle was. The only significant change is that George Washington is now down to 7-1. In fact, the only other change at all is that Street Sense is down to +470.

World Sports Exchange (http://www.wsex.com/line/HORSES.html) has some inter-race matchups that I find amusing. For example, you can bet on which horse will have the better finish, Hard Spun in the Classic or Idiot Proof in the Sprint: (note, "-115" means you risk $115 to win $100, or $11.50 to win $10.00)

I suspect several here would like Histericalady over Tiago.

HO 53 10/27 HARP SPUN (11TH RACE) VS IDIOT PROOF (7TH RACE) (MTH) (1:35 pm ET)
Outcome Lengths Money Line
HARP SPUN (11TH RACE) PICK -115
IDIOT PROOF (7TH RACE) PICK -115

HO 55 10/27 TASHAS MIRACLE (4TH RACE) VS WICKED STYLE (5TH RACE) (MTH) (11:30 am ET)
Outcome Lengths Money Line
TASHAS MIRACLE (4TH RACE) PICK -125
WICKED STYLE (5TH RACE) PICK -105

HO 57 10/27 TIAGO (11TH RACE) VS HYSTERICALADY (9TH RACE) (MTH) (3:05 pm ET)
Outcome Lengths Money Line
TIAGO (11TH RACE) PICK -125
HYSTERICALADY (9TH RACE) PICK -105

HO 59 10/27 OCTAVE (9TH RACE) VS AWESOME GEM (11TH RACE) (MTH) (3:05 pm ET)
Outcome Lengths Money Line
OCTAVE (9TH RACE) PICK -115
AWESOME GEM (11TH RACE) PICK -115

HO 61 10/27 STREET SENSE (11TH RACE) VS WAR PASS (5TH RACE) (MTH) (12:15 pm ET)

TheGreek's odds from Friday were pretty close to the final odds.

Here is each horse with TheGreek's odds followed by the closing betting odds (converted to moneyline format):

1101 Lawyer Ron +385 , +390
1102 Street Sense +485, +250
1103 Any Given Saturday +395, +390
1104 Curlin +445, +440
1105 George Washington +1015, +900
1106 Awesome Gem +2550, +2830
1107 Diamond Stripes +4050, +3880
1108 Hard Spun +825, +810
1109 Tiago +1415, +1280

The only big difference was on Street Sense, where TheGreek offered 4.85-1 compared to 2.5-1 in the pool. The only 2 horses to go off with higher odds in the pool than at TheGreek were Lawyer Ron (ever so slightly!) and Awesome Gem.
