I was sitting at the bar yesterday with an older gentleman, talking about the Yankees and Sox series (are sportsfans talking about anything else?) and he piqued my curiosity.

Anybody know what the odds in Vegas were on the Sox when they were down 0-3 going into the fourth game?

Is there a site that posts things like this after the fact? We just wanted to know how much some crazy drunk would have won throwing $1000 on the Sox the night before.

FWIW, one of the sports talk radio hosts here somehow knew it was posted at 13-1.
