As the 2015 season approaches, more money has been bet on the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series than any other team at two of Nevada's largest sportsbooks.

The Cubs are 6-1 to win the World Series at the MGM. Only the Washington Nationals, at 5-1, have better odds.

The number of bets on the Cubs more than doubles any other team in the MGM's World Series futures pool.

In October, William Hill opened the Cubs at 40-1 and promptly took a $1,000 bet. The Cubs are now 10-1 at William Hill, where 10 percent of the total amount wagered on the World Series odds is on Chicago.
