Odds on bets on baseball season victory totals are usually 1:1 - i.e., the house returns the amount bet and pays $1 for each $1 bet. In my case, if the Mariners win 72 or more games, the casino will pay $1,000 ($500 return bet and $500 winnings). If the Mariners win 71 or less games, the house wins. Although I am not sure, I believe that the sports books stop taking bets on season total wins as soon as the first games are played. Otherwise they would be continually adjusting the odds for each win/loss. Most interesting prop bets on Mariners were: Felix number of season victories: 14.5 over/under point & Ichiro number of season hits: 190.5. Didn't bet either, figured the better bet on the M's team victory total.
