Survivor Betting: Two Remain
MartinBlank, RogueScholar.
Going into today, the odds on each contender taking home the title were as follows: MartinBlank -540, RogueScholar +690. It doesn't take Billy Walters to discern who the oddsmakers feel the overwhelming favorite is at this stage.
MartinBlank is a seasoned contest player that has had some incredible runs in the 128 Man Handicapping Contest, including a Final Four showing. We can only expect his best performance tonight, and why should we expect any less? At the time of this writing, MartinBlank is most likely camped in front of his computer monitors, studying SBR Odds like he was prepping for his local states bar exam. The bottom line is, this guy knows how to win, and RogueScholar most certainly has his hands full.
There is something to be said for the underdog. The underdog is someone often not given enough credit, not only with respect to odds, but the public perceptions of others. Well, here is a little newsflash for those of us who might foresee a straight set victory for MartinBlank: the Giants won the SuperBowl. There is no reason RogueScholar cannot usurp MartinBlank, if he keeps his eye on the prize. An underdog peaking at the right time has been historically strong in that last game- just ask the New England Patriots.
Will MartinBlank win with ease?
Will RogueScholar go down without putting up a fight?
Which man will emerge on top?
Only the Handicapping Contests subforum has that answer. Stop on by.
