Current Betting Odds Close on Homerun Hitters

One of the more exciting specialty Casino bets right now is on who will be the MLB homerun champion for this year.  There is only a month left in the season, and the race is very tight between at least three contenders: Andrew Jones, Derek Lee and Alex Rodriguez.  There are other players too who pose as possible winners, including Manny Ramirez and Adam Dunn; However, the current odds are best for Jones who was coming in at 5:9 at the leading online Casinobook, Casinobook.com.

What makes Jones so interesting is that at the start of the season, the odds of him taking home the slugger title were 100:1.  You can only imagine how good of a futures bet that would have been.  The payoffs are much less now on Jones, who many are expecting to hold out with his lead of four homeruns.  However, as can often be the case, all it takes is for any of the nearby contenders to go on a hitting streak and for Jones to lose his number one position.

According to an spokesperson for Odds Maker, two of the top three contenders were not even considered realistic contenders at the start of the season.  This season has been nothing short of surprising to all baseball fans - who are used to seeing sluggers like Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire walk away with the title as easy shoe-ins.  Now, players like Jones and Lee are giving bettors a run for their money.  And if you were one of the lucky bettors who wagered $100 on Jones at the start of the season, you would be looking at a $10,000 payout if he wins.
