Since we haven't received any other playoff lines, can we at least get the World Series line when the matchups are set?
Thx!

If i can find odds that aren't like 110 and stuff like that, for sure

Just to give you some time, now that teams are set can we get a line on this? Thanks

I didn't find a line that I could put into the way I have to enter odds for this forum yet.

I think you can convert the money line type odds to vBookie by dividing them by 100 and then put the result over 1 for the underdog and under 1 for the favored team.

Well for example the odds i saw stated that Colorado was 185 and Boston was 245. Having that be odds makes 0 sense to me. I know Boston is favored, so looking at your suggestion doesn't quite make sense. I'm going to keep looking throughout the day today though in hopes I can find something I can work with better.

I explained it backwards last night (vodka), my bad.
Those money line numbers are the odds. They're just spelled out simply enough that mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging degenerates spending their rent money at a bookie can still figure it out. By that point, they don't really look like odds anymore.
The Sox are -210 and the Rockies are +175. That means a winning $100 bet on the Rockies pays $175, and it takes a $210 bet on the Sox to win $100.
This is like saying the Sox are 210:100 or 2.1:1 favorites and the Rockies are a 100:175 or 1:1.75 longshot.
In vBookie, I'm not sure if it'll take decimal values. You might need to make the Sox 21:10 and the Rockies 4:7.

No it won't take decimals, from the ones I set up earlier.

The 21/10 and 4/7 are equivalent to the decimal odds. Just multiply both sides equally to get an integer from the decimal.
Kind of a pain, but I don't think there's any other way to do it.
I plan on upgrading the board and vBookie after we close this season. The new version might be better. I don't want to risk it until the current season is over though, in case I break something in the upgrade and lose peoples' stats/balances.
