    They get burned all the time. The only reason they can keep their margin of profit is by stacking the odds in their favor with their rules. The point that can't be denied though, is that analysts are usually dead wrong. Every year they name a paper champion. Every year they fail miserably. Unless iortiz can provide me evidence to the contrary, i'll stick to my guns thank you very much. A700's opinion (opinion being the key word here) doesn't make him right.

    Vegas doesn't make its money because of the positive predictions of oddsmakers, as they are usually wrong, they make their money because the system is rigged in their favor.

    Texas yes, the Angels have the analysts' divided. Some say they are overrated, some say they are a top team in MLB. You are choosing scenario two because it suits your argument. Notice that i am arguing specifically the Angels, not other teams. Who's missing the point here?

    I'm just saying: "2011 World Series: Red Sox at Philies". Analysts got it right!

    Newsflash: Most analysts and bookies are idiots. Newsflash part 2: These are the same guys predicting Dice-K would be a super-ace in the states, and an ownership group spent near the same amount of money on him. Newsflash part 3: I have never said Texas is not better than the Sox, so that's a misinterpretation. What i have said is that LAA is terribly overrated and i stand by that. Please.

    How did Texas improve? They swapped out Wilson for Darvish, who has not thrown a pitch in the Majors. Unless you have a crystal ball, making that affirmation is baseless conjecture. The Angels added to their rotation and Pujols, but that team still has a bunch of question marks in the bullpen, health-wise and offense. Let's stay realistic here. No need to turn up the dial on other teams' rosters just to be defeatists. Just sayin'.

    Doubt it gets to the arbiter.

    This means what? The team you were hyping up to be better than the Sox was not the Rays, it was the Angels. But for the record, Tampa does have its fair share of question marks.

    Wha? It's been a recurrent theme in the 2012 Off-season thread. Nice "deductive" reasoning though. They'll settle at the midpoint btw.

    Darvish doesn't impact the Red Sox. At all. And he's unproven. Enjoy your Kool-Aid.

    Logic would dictate that he doesn't directly impact the Red Sox (our topic of discussion) in 2012. Logic gets to dictate this one. Also, if you think Darvish is going to come here and provide better production than Wilson out of the get-go, you're drinking the same Kool-Aid we drank with Dice-K. The adjustment takes time, and that ballpark will not help.

    The CBA directly contradicts what you say. It is wrong. After Ortiz accepted arbitration, he is effectively a member of the 2012 Red Sox unless the Red Sox can prove that he can no longer perform as a baseball player.

    Baseball analysts are usually wrong. Most analysts (and i bet those you mentioned were among them) wrote the Sox' and Phillies' tickets to the WS, with Cinci or Atlanta as the NL WC, writing off the Cards as soon as Wainwright got injured. And yes, i think the Angels are terribly overrated. Besides Pujols, that team cannot get on base, they have a legitimate superstar-in-the-making in Trout, but other than that, there are a lot of question marks on that offense, and on that BP too.

    The Angels are terribly overrated. And how did Texas upgrade their club "significantly"? They lost Wilson and replaced him with Darvish, who is an unknown, no matter how good he was in Japan, then moved Feliz to the rotation and replaced him with Nathan. It's pretty much the same club as it was in 2011.
