Futures are bets on who wins the whole thing, like the Super Bowl. They pay once, months from now, so the price you take is the whole game.
Pick the competition up here.
These prices come from a saved snapshot, and the time it was taken is always shown. Check the price at the book before you bet.
Each row is one team, with the best listed price from the books we cover, and the book offering it. Implied is the chance that price charges you for. It includes the book's cut, so it's not a fair chance.
Share of displayed is each team's implied chance divided by the total across the teams listed. It's a share, not a fair chance either.
You won't see a fair price or a book margin on this page. The list can be capped, and each best price can come from a different book. Field completeness tells you how many teams the saved list holds.
Shopping the best price is still the simplest thing you can do on a futures ticket. A few cents on a futures ticket compounds over months of tied-up money.
Futures is one of the tools in your WGT workspace.
