Game by game is so chancey, and there's so much luck involved, that with our ten-player league if you want to bet on an individual day before the pitching choices are posted the odds usually range from only about 8-1 to maybe 12-1.

If you wait until after the pitching choices are posted, then you can get a little bit better price.

Like the other day when JL took the Giants' Cain, he was probably about 15 or 18-1 to win the day against pitchers like Schilling and Mussina, or the day you had Chacin against Willis, Peavy, and Schilling.

Anyway, unless you're really confident with one of those "unpredictable" picks (like Chacin), there's probably too much luck involved and the odds too short for it to pay to bet on a day-by-day basis.
