Odds to win the 2011 World Series – Betting
Once the Super Bowl trophy is awarded on February 6th, sports bettors will be focused on the next big thing, March Madness and the start of Baseball season. Hockey and NBA Basketball will have their followers, but according to a ESPN study, baseball is the second most popular sport to follow for fans, next to the King of Sports “NFL Football”.
According to an ESPN’s survey, Football was first. Baseball second. Basketball was third followed by college football, college basketball, and then NASCAR, which had something like 2.2 percent of the population.
According to Offshore Sportsbooks, they believe it’s a 3-horse race between the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Here are the listed odds on those three teams winning the World Series this year vs. the rest of the teams in the league.

…If You Lived When Women Won Their Rights $3.46 There was a time that girls and women in the United States could not: wear pants; play sports on a team; ride a bicycle; or go to college. That all began to change in 1848, when American women (and some men) met in Seneca Falls, NY, at the first convention for women’s rights held anywhere in the world. In the familiar question-and-answer format, this installment in the acclaimed If You Lived… history series tells the exciting story of how women worked to get equal rights with men, culminating in the 19th amendment to the Constitution and giving women the right to vote. Readers find out what life was like for girls in those days and meet the pioneering figures in the movement, including Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and Alice Paul.Anne Kamma has written several books in the series including If You Lived When There Was Slavery in America and If You Lived with the Indians of the Northwest Coast, both illustrated by Pamela Johnson |
