Baseball's Best Bet of the Decade: Your Los Angeles Angels
The biggest bankroll builders and busters of the decade
Only seven baseball teams produced a profit this decade. The Angels were by far the best bet.
A $100 player who bet on the Angels every game the past 10 seasons made $10,888.
Their most profitable season was this year, when they finished at +$3,734.
The only other teams to report a profit this decade were: Florida (+$3,411), Minnesota (+$4,550) Oakland (+6,635), San Francisco (+2,466), St. Louis (+$7,423) and Texas (+$447).

I thought I'd seen enough new and interesting stats...
..but I was wrong again. Genius!
What's better?
A decade of winning?
OR
More than one World Series ring?
The mind boggles.
Who goofed? I've got to know.
Am I reading this right?
If you be $162,000 ($100 dollars X 162 games X 10 years) you would’ve won $172,888? A 6.7% return over 10 years. I guess that’s a great argument for not betting on baseball.
Captain, there are doubt's...
My buddy rode the Angels through this past July and made a killing
I for one, don’t bet on my teams, or on sports in general.
#34, never forget.
Do their calculations include the vig?
Had I owned the Pittsburgh Pirates, I could have saved America.
yes, I am assuming they do. It reduces your winnings and is included in all posted lines.
Play Wood already. Willits sucks.
