Default Re: OT: The Throwing vs Hitting Tennis Bet

Ok, just got back from the tennis court and will report my findings.

I tried playing as the catcher vs a good 6.0+ tennis player and was beating him with my bare hands. And I have never tried this before and have never played baseball in my life.

Then I tried with a glove and it was a joke, he could barely win a point.

I won't go into strategy here, but we were both amazed at how the thrower can take contol of the points.

So if Nick has done this before (which he has), he will have a huge edge against almost anyone outside very highly ranked players.

But in my original post on the topic I said I would play, so I am not backing out.

But I want to do it either for fun or for the minimum bet as I will forsure be the underdog, even with Nick using his barehands.

With a glove, Nick would be a HUGE favorite.

So Nick, I will play that Nov 4 weekend in Vegas but want to keep the stakes small and it will be even odds, you with no glove. And you will still be the favorite. Let me know.
