The South Point sports book in Las Vegas is offering up a prop bet on the Oakland Raiders. If you feel the Raiders will go winless this NFL season, the Las Vegas Sports Book is offering 10-1 odds (bet $10 to win $100). On the flip side, if you feel the Raiders will win at least one game, you get a very “chalky” 1/18 odds (bet $180 to win $10). Yuck.
The odds on the Raiders winning one game offers zero value. Unless some gangster walks into the South Point sports book and asks them to book $180,000 to win $10,000, there’s no risk to the sports book. They’re looking to get as many “yes Raiders go winless” bettors as possible and there will be folks taking the bet for sure.
That said, the Raiders still have a tough road ahead, with the Rams being the only team currently below .500 on the Silver and Black’s remaining schedule. Oakland still has Denver twice as well – the Raiders winning one game this season is definitely no lock but history says they will get at least one “W” before the NFL season concludes.
