I hate the Yanks, but I'll take this bet because I hate the A's even more. The A's just ain't got the horsies this year.

You choose the creative wager. I've got no shame.

I would be willing to bet someone a relatively large amount, a couple hundred, on this. I don't think I'll get any takers though.

pyhtag records, since a lot of you take them seriously:

.543 and .516, I'll let you guess which one is which.

How confident are you on the Yanks' playoff chances? I'd throw down a bet or so that they won't.

I'd bet less on this than on the A's-Yanks thing, but only because the As thing is a slam dunk for me and the yankees making the playoffs is just a good deal.

sure, a hundred bucks or so?

I think the Yanks having a better second half record than the Yanks is a much better deal than the Yanks making the playoffs. But yeah, I'll do $100 with you even money on the Yanks playoff chances. Should there be a third party involved?

probably. a moderator (dynasty?) would be best.

btw, if anybody wants to give me even money on the yankees making the playoffs i will take it.

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.
