Default HA HA... just placed a bet on \"Grey Reymer\"!

Posted this on the other gambling forum, but thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Just placed a bet on Greg Raymer to finnish higher than Matt Dean at WSOP. pinnacle has "Grey Reymer" at -187$.
It says in Dean's bio that he has only been playing for one year. Hard not to like that price with 60% more chips and a huge disparity in experience and probably talent.
Hope I get paid when Greg Raymer wins [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] .

If you already have a bet on the Field at BoDogs at even money, you can bet on Dan Harrington at Pinnacle at +600 and be guaranteed to win no matter what.

I don't like Harrington's chances.

-187 would mean that you'd need to bet $187 to win $100. If you win, you'd receive $287 back from your bet.

+600 means you bet $100 to win $600, receiving $700 back from your bet.

This isn't counting the vig though. I think. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken...

Vig is included. You would only get +176$ if you liked the other side and assuming they got equal action on both sides the house would profit 11$.

I don't like having Dean right on Greg's left.
