What is a good line on anyone getting 18 bracelets before Tiger gets 18 majors?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would definitely say tiger is a favorite, like 2-1 or 2.5-1.


here's one I thought of today. find 5-10 random college level tests - not entrance exams, I'm talking like weekly chapter tests from a college textbook publisher or something of the sort. I take the tests vs some random person, whoever gets the most right answers wins.

what kind of odds would I need to lay to get action vs:
- random BS/BA grad
- random MS/MA grad
- random PhD grad
- random MD

also, split these out with any random school or ivy league to make it interesting.

the other person would have to be at least 2 or 3 years out of school so all this isn't fresh on their mind (I'm 28). randomly picking this person would be the tough part I assume. maybe we randomly approach people and offer them $$$ to help settle a bet?

fwiw i dropped out of a state college after 3 yrs.

I agree but I do not think either will happen.

if you dont believe tiger will get 18 majors you were born retarded and nothings changed.

if you believe its 2/1 that someone will win 18 bracelets before he gets to 18 see above.

With ~31480973741 new WSOP events on the Eurasia horizon, I think that this is close at 2:1.

Nate and I have a bet going about who would win in a 7 on 11 men v. women soccer match with college-level athletes. I took the women but he thinks I'm a sucker for it. Now if we could just figure out a way to arrange the action...

a couple of years back the best women team in sweden played a soccer game against boys 15 years old and lost with numbers like 1-8 or something, pretty brutal.

I'd have to say that 7 college-level men would win like 99% against 11 women.

When Notre Dame's women's soccer team won the national championship 10 yrs ago. (these girls made up a quarter of the olympic team) That year they played a local South Bend high school boys team and were crushed I believe 11-0 or 11-1.

I'm interested in the bet described - shirt on back from 0$-1k in 7 days but in LA.

How about a poker related bet?

Start with X$ at a Los Angeles Casino (hotel included) and you have to get it up to a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time. If you bust you fail.

[/ QUOTE ]

For the first, does the person get to use any means to get the $1k?

I live in L.A. so maybe I'd have an edge in doing this.

Also, for the poker one, do you have any rough idea as to starting $$ and ending $$?

[MEbenhoe]

Too many hypothetical prop bets that will not happen, not enough ridiculous challenges for $$$.
