Default Barry Bonds Props on Bodog

Currently there are a handful of Barry Bond HR 756th props on Bodog. I'm not terribly great at handicapping these things, but I wanted to at least start a thread to discuss these. One that looks particularly interesting:

Barry Bonds 756th HR Props - What will his total time around the bases be? (Clock start when bat makes contact with the ball.)

Over 27.5 seconds -130
Under 27.5 seconds -110

When Bonds broke Babe Ruth's record (#715), it took him about 32 seconds (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qMmlzBaTsTc). Is there any chance he really goes faster than this when he breaks the record? I guess it's possible, but I wanted to see what others thought about it. Personally, I like the over a lot.

Edit: When he tied Babe Ruth (#714), it took him about 29 seconds (http://youtube.com/watch?v=a4m0H0VKrk8).

And a more recent one, #746, was ~33 seconds (http://youtube.com/watch?v=G1A7cP_8bc4).

Bonds should spider crawl around the bases for shiats and giggles.

The one I looked at before betting was when he broke McGwire's single season record. It looked like 27.5 seconds exactly, so I thought maybe that's what they based the line off of, but he got a pretty clean trip around the bases on that one and didn't spend much time admiring the shot, so I assumed he'd be more likely to lose a second than gain one, particularly with those balky knees. Admittedly, I bet this one mostly for fun, but I thought I was on the right side.

HR #71 of '01 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KzHrSDaisY

I'm definitely glad to hear that he's already hitting the over on his normal HRs. Confidence is now high!

Yeah, it's another good point that he's older and more broken down than he was back then. That has to be worth at least 1-2 seconds in base running time.

With his shin splints, prednisone shots and compression socks this is starting to look like free monies.

It took about 32.5 seconds. This bet is a winner for sure.
