Dead,

I was just messing around, bro - lighten up.

I hate the Yankees with the burning passion of 1000 suns, but even I know that they're probably going to make the playoffs (as happy as it would make me to see them fail horribly).

This thread just got really really lame with you and jesus going at it, and never actually doing anything at all...

[/ QUOTE ]

Dead backed off. I said 8-1 that the Yanks miss the playoffs. Seems like a good deal for Dead since it's "obvious" they will get there.

Dude, this is a joke. You can't both think the Yankees will miss the playoffs and also ask for 8-1 odds on them missing. There's a huge gap there.

It's 1-4 that they win the AL East. The odds have to be worse (better?) than that that make the playoffs.

Ok, so you've at least admitted the odds are against the Yankees missing the playoffs?

No, the betting odds are against them missing the playoffs. The true odds can be anywhere in between. But if Jesus and Dead are going to do anything about it, Dead can't get a better deal than at a sportsbook (which charges juice AND doesn't account for WC), which is what he's doing when giving 4-1 or 5-1.

Totally weak.

I never saw you offer me 8-1, and I'm not taking it. I said 4-1, and that's what it will be if you want it. That's 4-1 to win the AL East. AL East only. Not counting the wildcard. I'm revising the offer.

I will pay you 4-1, if they don't win the AL East. That's correct. Same as Pinnacle's odds. Max wager of $10 for you. If the Yanks win the AL East, you owe me $10 max. If they don't, I owe you $40 max.

Respond to this if we have a deal, with the amount that you want to wager.
