How is Ken hustling if he offers to take either side of the offered bet? I don't get this. Also, Nick's desire and willingness to provide action is nothing short of outstanding.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but I would be willing to bet that if this prop bet were run between Nick and Ken 1000 times, Ken would win at least once.

Given the information at hand, I believe I will [censored] out, sir.

The logistics of this bet being different, ( you have to start at baseline, he could start near the net, etc...) I think there's a decent chance it's doable, but you wanted odds, etc ,and I don't have the time, resources, or proper personnel to find a decent line, which EVEN odds probably wouldn't be for me.

Also, if I didn't make it clear, I am not a good tennis player, so no, I won't be taking you on myself.

You wanna have a sing-off though, I'm down. Maybe even a trivia contest of some sort, (although I'd guess i have a strong chance of being a dog there), for 1k.
