Posted June 14, 201312 yr comment_4552 Original Story Here The oddsmakers have rendered their verdict and they don't think much of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' chances to win this year's Grey Cup.

As do teams that try and sell tickets. The most important marketing tool in the sports industry is hope. Ultimately there has to be a winner and a loser.
