**raiders72001** · 10-28-05, 12:55 PM

Brick- I'll give you 2.5-1 to hit 58%

**Brick Tamland** · 10-28-05, 01:29 PM

You said no one could do it... So put it up. Ill send my $ as soon as RM's is over.

**bigboydan** · 10-28-05, 01:35 PM

**Brick Tamland** · 10-28-05, 01:35 PM

Mods

Can you make this its own thread?? I dont want to mess up RMs pick thread.

**Illusion** · 10-28-05, 02:00 PM

I'll start working on it BT

**rm18** · 10-28-05, 02:35 PM

You can start your own thread brick, the mods didn't create mine.

I'm not going to concede my contest, but if I get 44 losses I will stop.

I think 2/1 is fair, as Ganchrow pointed out at 2/1 54% winners is really the break even point since 100 games is a small sample size.

**raiders72001** · 10-28-05, 02:44 PM

2-1 is a fair price. Let's get it on.

**bigboydan** · 10-28-05, 02:47 PM

raiders, give'um 2.5 to 1

**tacomax** · 10-28-05, 03:12 PM

Since no-one on this board can hit 57%, I'm surprised that I'm not seeing odds of 5-1 offered.

**Max Levine** · 10-28-05, 03:48 PM

Very soon, SBR is gonna have to rate raidersbook.com.

Will wait for the thread "SBR visits Raiders' kitchen"

Then Raiders will be no where to be found.

**raiders72001** · 10-28-05, 07:05 PM

I'll take on anyone, even those no capping scalpers Sheva and Slash.

Here are the odds that I'll offer to anyone.

57% 2-1
58% 5-2
60% 3-1
65% 5-1

**bigboydan** · 10-28-05, 07:26 PM

raiders, why not 2.5 to 1 for 57% ?.. you afraid brick will beat you

**Brick Tamland** · 10-28-05, 11:53 PM

2.5 is what I'm looking for. If me and the current forum goers are too inept to have a shot at that then I think a litlle more bread on my side makes sense.

How bout it Gaidars?

**onlooker** · 10-29-05, 12:14 AM

So is it going to be 2.5 Raiders?

**Ganchrow** · 10-29-05, 01:33 AM

A couple of numbers in case anyone's interested:

One's long-term success rate would need to be greater than 54.341% to yield a positive expectation on raiders' 57% bet at 2/1 odds.

One's long-term success rate would need to be greater than 53.668% to yield a positive expectation on raiders' 57% bet at 5/2 odds.

**Brick Tamland** · 10-30-05, 11:19 PM

Gaidars?

How about it? You going to give me the pleasure of bitch slapping you here?

**raiders72001** · 10-30-05, 11:20 PM

No one can hit 57% here as I've said before. Give it your best shot if you want 2-1.

**Brick Tamland** · 10-30-05, 11:29 PM

Nice contradiction. You cant do it but I wont bet against you.

**raiders72001** · 10-31-05, 01:00 AM

I know you can't do it. Since I know this should I give you 100-1. That would be crazy. According to Ganch 2-1 is fair odds. Balls in your court.

**Brick Tamland** · 11-06-05, 03:00 AM

Im coming for you Gaidars.

**bigboydan** · 11-06-05, 03:06 AM

sounds like we might have another
