Las Vegas taking big cash on Cubs

heading into the opening week of baseball season, more money has been bet on the Cubs to win the World Series than any other team at two of Nevada's largest sportsbooks.

In October, William Hill opened the Cubs at 40-1 and promptly took a $1,000 bet. The Cubs are now 10-1 at William Hill, where 10 percent of the total amount wagered on the World Series odds is on Chicago.

Every year they bet the Cubs. I could be their ace and you could be their No. 2 starter and they'd still bet them.

It is true that money talks. I believe it told the Vegas books that it liked its new home

Looks like Ricketts isn't the only one who is going to build a hotel by taking advantage of Cubbie Nation.

Money comes in on the Cubs every year. They are a public team, like the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, and Notre Dame.

All this means is a ton of people are throwing money away.

If you are betting the Cubs at 10-1 to win the WS, you should get your head examined.

Similarly I was going to say those hotels/casinos didn't build themselves.
