MLB wagering anticipations have not been met by the Cubs since their epic upset loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers as prohibitive chalks with the Sports wagering lines in 2008. MLB wagering odds makers have long abandoned the Cubs after their complete fall of 2009 in which they went from NL Central winners to losers with the Sports lines.



The high drop from one of the high level teams in baseball at the sports book to an also ran playing out the string at last wore out current manager Lou Piniella, who will retire at the end of the season. There is wild speculation as to who will take the place of Piniella.

The job of getting the Cubs back into the playoffs won’t be an easy one regardless of who eventually gets the gig at Wrigley Field.

Cubs general manager Jim Hendry isn’t making any fake claims or making use of cheap sales gimmicks for prospective managers. He rather has decided to lower anticipations and come clean.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” Hendry said. “It’s certainly a tremendous challenge and a tremendous opportunity in a great, great place. But obviously, the weight of the world is on you as far as eventually having to win a world championship.” 1908 was the last time the Cubs won a world tournament. Piniella was believed to be the answer to the difficulty and he looked to have the Cubs positioned for a serious run in 2008 but the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers was like a nuclear bomb on his program as the North Siders have not been a powerful online sports wagering commodity ever since.

The Cubs weak history is actually one of the draws to the job as there are a lot of major league sized egos that would appreciate being identified as the manager that ended the drought of world championships for Chicago.

There is also the notion of the Cubs as lovable but losers with odds makers that wager the sports lines in online sports wagering as well as the beer drinking supporters that love to sit in the outfield of Wrigley. That will have to transform.

“The intrigue of wanting to be the manager that eventually won a world championship,” said Hendry of the appeal of the Cubs job. “That’s all part of the lure to everybody over the past 8-10 years that I’ve been hiring to manage.” This year the losing has only made that already unreliable value worse, even though the Cubs popularity usually makes them a weak Sports wagering value, even in good years.
