    i believe it's A, odds wise, but it's more likely to go 1-0 then 9-0. so C in that case

          A) you have 9 teams 20-1 the odds of them all winning, even though on paper is probably about a 80% chance of winning, will more than likely spit out one loser.
          B) the odds are greater of hitting this than the 9 20-1 teams. Although, its pretty much a 75-25 shot at winning each. Having to have them both win your looking at a probability for every 100 times you do this winning about 60-70 times.
          C) This is 55-45 odds. Probability is pretty much a coin flip which is 50%.
          D) Steve nash is 90.4% career behind the strip...Shooting 6 of 6 at a 90% whip your looking at him hitting 6 of 6 every 3 times and missing one in the middle somewhere. This year he is 91.7%
          E) Shaq is a career 52.7% FT shooter, you might as well bet on letter C with better odds and better payoff.

          This is to back up my ANSWER as I was the first to answer
