Who wagers on the MVP race 12 games into the baseball season? These guys are betting it’s you

There are bettors. And then there are hard-core bettors. And then there are bettors who are perfectly comfortable placing a king-sized wager on a coin while it’s still fluttering in midair.

Speaking of: BetDSI Sportsbook (honest-to-goodness marketing slogan: “It’s only a game until you bet it”) on Monday released updated odds on the American League MVP race. For the uninitiated, the sportsbook, founded in 1998, is headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica and claims to have clients in 140 countries.

I say it’s even money that there’s a tax break involved that would make the Dodgers (2018 payroll: $225,553,087) look like third-degree skinflints.
