My friend and i got into a heated discussion at work. I wanted to make a bet with him that the Indianapolis Colts would be in the super bowl this year. He said okay ill bet you 20 bucks, and i said "Hold up, you better give me some odds" his reply, "No FUC&^%&^'IN WAY"

So,,,, the question then is,,,, what are the odds of the colts being in the super bowl this year,,,, but more importantly,,,, how do you figure it out?

please help,,,,there's money on it

I would need 4 to 1 odds on colts winning. Now colts' being in? 2 to 1.

I really don't see a team beating them this year.

I lot of guys get rich refusing to give odds with excuses like "it's only a friendly bet," "there are never odds on the homecoming game," and "that would make it gambling."

Computing these odds would require a vast amount of data and analysis, the sort of thing people do to beat the sports book. The best you can do is look at posted odds. Scanning a few of these sites and adjusting for the spread, he should put up about $30 to your $20.
