    Capping world cup

    USA- have to fade favorite; prima donnas
    Canada- civil war going on there
    World - Not sure they even have internet
    Europe- Only logical choice; hit n run nits. win by default

    Congrats Europe.

    Rudy, wasn't it you who asked why Canada wasn't having problems with filling slots? (a few days ago, when you were having trouble with the USA thread)

    turns out they have it worse.

    poker talent, I'd rank it USA-Canada-Europe-World

    USA, as you said, are prima donnas with big egos
    Canadians at each others throats. frizzelli trying to break off, ala Montreal.
    Team World lives in the wilderness and has intermittent Internet access.

    ^ Sorry, that should say Quebec, not Montreal.

    With this kind of capping - it is no wonder books make a ton.

    How about this. I'll agree to give you 6% of your losses back if you play me 200 hands heads up.

    A)It was a joke. I'm not betting it with the prices in the SBR book. Huge vig.

    B)Your offer of USA -115 was not close to fair value.

    roughly. I was thinking of offering "fair odds" to people, but decided against it.

    Obviously USA would be +, though. Four team competition in online poker, no team could possibly have over a 50% chance of winning. I agree with USA-Europe-Canada-World, although I'd give World more like a 12% chance.

    Yeah Yiser, give me the same deal and I'll take it too. My heart is with Canada but that team is a mess.

    That was fair odds, meaning no vig odds.

    Here's SBR Book odds:Team USA -165
    Team CAN +175
    Team EUR +250
    Team World +300





    I'll offer:

    USA +135
    Europe +250
    Canada +375
    World +525

    Max risk: 150 points

    that's still very low vig (adds up to roughly 108%, which you won't find at any book I've seen in a 4+ competition field), and I won't be starting a new thread advertising it because I don't want to get buried.

    12:15 Eastern is the deadline. You must post up here and tell me what your bet is.

    Ok Yiser, I want 100 on Europe at +250 and 50 at +510 on World. I've already bet on World in the book so I'll keep my stuff even.

    canada looks to be best value at yismans odds though. i don't think there is much difference in europe and canada.
