Barry Greenstein Bet Agaisnt Eli Elezra Good or bad Odds?

[arcdog]

sc000t, you're talking about a bad bet there. If I bet on Ivey and take the 10:1 odds each and every year, all he has to do is win a single bracelet every ten years for me to make money. So, you see how taking the other side of that is a bad gamble?

Sure, you'd likely win the bet in a given year, but you are laying waaaaaay too much. Its not even close. I'd say about 2.5 to 1 is as far as you should be willing to go.
