I'm not sure why you guys think this will be bought down so far. Who, exactly, is going to bet on Ortiz to drive the price down?

It MIGHT come down to 6-1.

I cant say who exactly my friend. But I can say what: HBO 24/7 SERIES.

That show is the master of spin. They will paint Ortiz as this likeable mexican monster.

Also, keep in mind that this isn't at an American book. He will likely not open at 8-1 on US friendly sites.
