The Blue Jays were terrific in the AL East in 2015. Toronto won the AL East last season with a 93-64 record. The Blue Jays lost to Kansas City in the ALCS. Should online bookies pay attention to the Blue Jays to repeat as AL East champs this year?

Bookies who are looking to get ready before the NFL season begins will want to know about PayPerHead.com’s NFL offer. For as little as $3 per head bookies can test their premium industry-leading platform which has all of the features bookies will need for the NFL season.

Toronto Making a Run

The Blue Jays, just like last season, are making a run in 2016. The Baltimore Orioles are still the favorites to win the AL East at +170. Toronto is a co-second choice with the Boston Red Sox to win the AL East at +175 while the New York Yankees are the cellar-dwellers at +2200.

For Toronto fans, another AL East division championship is a distinct possibility. The Blue Jays are currently at 59-46, a half a game behind the Orioles in the AL East. At much better odds than Baltimore, Toronto could entice players to bet on them to win the AL East in pay per head books.

Blue Jays’ True Chances of Winning the AL East

From a sports bettors’ point of view, the Blue Jays are an overlay at +175, meaning that sports bettors are going to love those odds. From a per head online bookies’ point of view, the +175 odds represent danger since Toronto is the defending champion.

Here’s the thing, per head agents and per head bookies don’t need to worry about their players’ point of view regarding Toronto. One of the reasons that bookies should be working with a PPH company is because of the per head tools that PPH companies offer. Instead of worrying, per head bookies should:

  1. Mitigate possible losses on Toronto winning the AL East by setting max betting limits

Those max betting limits could be anything from $100 to $200 to up to $300 depending on a bookie’s risk threshold. Online bookies shouldn’t stop there. Setting per head max betting limits on every team in the AL East makes sense.

      2. Mitigate overall risk by lowering odds on the Blue Jays to win the AL East.

The odds on the Blue Jays to win the AL East aren’t correct at +175. The Blue Jays have a much better chance than that. Check on the PPH site to determine the odds on Toronto. If they’re still at +175, lower those odds so that they are in line with what the odds are on Baltimore to win the AL East.

By using pay per head agent tools in order to mitigate losses and risk, online bookies can rest assured that they are offering the fairest to their players. They’re also protecting their own interests.  

PayPerHead.com is offering a NFL deal that every bookie needs to know about. For a limited time only, bookies can test PayPerHead.com’s premium industry-leading platform for as little as $3 per head. Get ready for NFL season with premium features and more.
