2 Prop Bets

[Kevin]

As an Indy native and long-suffering Colts fan, I got into a debate with a co-worker last night. As much as I would like to hope otherwise, I think Peyton Manning has hit the peak and there is no upside to last season. He told me that I was crazy, that he only played about a total of 13.5 games last year, sitting out the Denver game as well as half of the Chicago, Detroit, and Houston games.

We made the following 2 wagers. $100 bucks straight up on the over/under of his TD's next year - set at 38 and I took the under. I also offered him 5-1 on a $100 bet for 50 TD's.

We had several pops, so I am wondering where you guys think I will finish on this

Lose the under 38 but win the under 50 for a push?
Lose both bets and be out $600?
Win both and win $200?

Do you think 5-1 was too good of a price to offer on the over 50?


Late in the game last night, after several pops, I offered my buddy $40 for his $50 action on the over at 9.5. Alou was on second with no outs in the 8th. He scored two batters later and I won $10. With no out and a man on second in a 7-2 all-star game, do you think that it was a safe bet? or since it would have cost me $100 ($40 for him plus $60 to pay off the bet), was it borderline ludicrous.

A lot of fun, but too many beers. I am on the line for $600 if PM has another out of this world season, but I guess if he does that well, the Colts will win a bunch of games and I will be all the happier.
