Bet The 2006 World Baseball Classic at TheGreek.com
Team USA Favorite to Win Title
MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (May 12, 2005) ? After two years of planning, the 2006 World Baseball Classic is on. Although details won't be announced until July, it is expected that the 16-team tournament will be played during a three-week period in March, and will be the first full-scale event involving major-league players representing their home countries. The only big question mark is Cuba, whose participation must first be cleared by the U.S. State Department and is then subject to approval by Cuban President Fidel Castro.
As one of the Internet's largest sports betting site, TheGreek.com has calculated odds on which of the sixteen nations will capture the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Team USA has been established as the early favorite to win the tournament at +130 (i.e., win $130 for every $100 bet). The Dominican Republic has the second best odds to win the tournament with +250. According to TheGreek.com , Venezuela (+800), Puerto Rico (+1000), and Japan (+1000) could also figure into the mix. Cuba, the team, which has dominated international competition for many years, is currently +1500 at TheGreek.com . In addition to offering odds on which nation will capture the title, TheGreek.com will be offering lines on the four early rounds, which are tentatively scheduled to be played in Japan, Puerto Rico and the United States.
?This will be the first championship of this caliber in baseball ? Even better than the Olympics, since it will include a roster of professional players which is not always a given in the Olympics. Fans will be able to watch the best of the best compete against each other for the first time,? said Salma Crump of TheGreek.com. ?Plus with March Madness going on at the same time? It?s a bettors dream come true.?
