    Would you accept this bet?

    A guy has proposed this wager to me
    I have till Saturday to accept or not.


    He would need the Tampa Bay Rays to beat
    both the Yankees and Red Sox in the Al East

    I would need both the Yankees and Red Sox
    to beat the Devil Rays.

    If Tampa ends up somewhere between them
    its a push..bet would be for $2000


    They are currently up 4.5 on the Yankees
    and 6 on the Red Sox.

    Do you accept the bet?

    Im leaning towards No play.

    I'd say that roughly equates to about:

    44% - win
    38% - push
    18% - lose

    The season is super early and the Yankees and Red Sox have loaded rosters. I'd definitely take it.

    Look at it this way 140 some games left if you think the yankees are not going to win six more games than tampa and the sox aren't going to win 7 more than tampa for the rest of the season than I would say no bet. but in reality they both sholud and i said should beat them by 10 or more games in the loss column. GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes - great bet - but, this guy? Is the money good? I would not do it unless you both put the money in an envelope and somebody holds it you can both trust.
