Well, I can actually get better odds than 1:1 at an online sportsbook, so I might not do it for that reason. It's kind of (ridiculously) -EV.

No kidding?

Well can't say I'm surprised by this.

If you give me 4-1 I'll bet $100 the A's have a better record in the second half of the season than the Yankee's

4-1 is giving too much.

i thought you said it was a slamdunk? i think you're a chicken.

kyro · #35 07-06-2005, 04:49 PM

No, a chicken wouldn't offer up a very bad bet and then back down from it when someone agreed to it. Wait.

Voltron87 · #36 07-06-2005, 05:09 PM

i didnt chicken out, i just realized it would be an absolutely craptastic bet. slight difference.

Then at the very least you shouldn't be crowing about taking bets with anyone and how great of a deal it is. Just a thought.
