Default Prop Bet: Bonds will not pass Aarons this season

I made a prop bet with my roommate of 10:1 that bond's will not pass aaron's in the hr record this season. I'm not a sports better but I thought this was a fun bet that I could rub in for a long time if i win.

Thoughts?

hmmm....10-1 seems a little low considering he has 2 1/2 months to hit 6 HR's. Everyone seems to be jumping on the Skip Bayless bandwagon that has Bonds not breaking the record. Its pretty rediculous in my opinion. SF will rest bonds for a little while and he will be fine.

he only needs 5 to break it

this could happen if pitchers just don't pitch to him at all when he gets close

so they're not the one who gave it up

Umm... I think 100-1 would be a fair price.

Agreed, the only way he won't get those few homers is an injury.

Maybe more than 10 to 1, but I definitely think less than 100 to 1. He's Barry Bonds--his leg could break in half any day. He just sat out 3 straight, and you never know when it could be more.

10-1 is bad, but not that bad. 15-1 is about right.
