Maybe there was a lot of money on the 'Stros at long odds? When a long term bet pays out (say a bet placed in March on the World Series champ) does it register at the point it was placed or the point it was paid?
If it's at the point of pay out then all the other team bets closed in October as those teams were eliminated, pumping up the House, except the Dodgers, leaving the one November payout to show an artificial "loss."

It undoubtedly has to do with the payoff of futures bets in November instead of October, but is probably due more to bets made in October than season long futures bets. The Cubs and Dodgers were pretty heavy favorites when we got down to the conference championship games in October.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

As one who rooted hard for the Red Sox' comeback over the Yankees knowing even then the price of victory would be the unrelenting, keening, mewling whine from the most irritating fanbase from the worst city with the most pathetic population in North America, it gives me perfect serenity to know that the symbol, the memory, and the legacy of that team will be, forever, this man.Cornell University
