Florida Marlins are the Surprise in Sports Betting at SBG Global

Sports betting experts gave the Florida Marlins absolutely no chance of having any type of success in the online sports betting realm this year.

If anyone would have suggested to sports betting odds makers that the Marlins would be leading the NL East at any point this season they would have laughed you out of the room. However, after nearly a month into the regular season sports betting schedule, the improbable Florida Marlins lead the NL East and are the toast of the online sports betting world.

Online sports betting fans love nothing more than to see the underdog defeat the favored teams. And no team in sports betting makes a better David to the Goliaths of MLB than the Florida Marlins. A tiny team with a tiny payroll and a roster full of no-names beating the sports betting odds and holding onto the division’s top spot is something that no online sports betting fans could have envisioned a month ago. And in the world of MLB with its uber-disparity there could not be a better sports betting environment for the underdog to achieve such a feat.

Of course, most sports betting experts do not expect the immediate sports betting success of the Marlins to last, not with big spending teams like the New York Mets and the Phillies in the same division, but for the moment the Marlins are enjoying their Cinderella moment in the world of online sports betting. What makes the Marlin’s rise to the top so satisfying for many sports betting fans is the fact that in the age of huge spending payrolls for most online sports betting franchises the Marlins spend relative peanuts, and are still able to beat out teams like the Mets with one of the highest payrolls in sports betting.

To put things in perspective the entire payroll of the Marlins is less than A-Rod makes in a year. In fact the Yankees, the richest team in sports betting, has seven players on its roster that make more than the entire Marlins roster combined. Yet some how, improbably, the Marlins lead their sports betting division and look as though they’ve no thoughts of relinquishing that position any time soon.
