Hats off to the Eagles for their Super Bowl Win.    Back in October I suggested the Eagles as a good future play at 9-1.    If you got down then, you had significant leverage going into the title game.  (Full disclosure; I missed the boat on my own play, as they dropped to 6-1 and then Wentz got hurt).

I wrote about this before Christmas when Derby Futures came out.    I am a big proponent of taking a well considered position early (particularly if you can get a big return) to give yourself more leverage when the big event comes around.  You can do this with a season Win total and a big play to hedge against, or when you find a live long shot at a price.

With that in mind, I’ll be back tomorrow with some thoughts on the Derby Futures.
