Bettors at sportsbooks in the United States and Canada rushed to bet on the Toronto Blue Jays to win the World Series on Friday afternoon when it was reported that Shohei Ohtani was on a private jet to Toronto.

On Friday, with rumors of Ohtani's interest in Toronto swirling, the Blue Jays' World Series odds improved from 15-1 to as short as 8-1.

Later Friday afternoon, it was revealed that Canadian entrepreneur Robert Herjavec of "Shark Tank" fame was on the private jet being tracked to Toronto, not Ohtani.

The next day, Ohtani announced on social media that he was signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
