    This thread is not about whether the Nats at -180 are a bad play [not to mention the dumb comments people have made about this play].

    Wouldn't you agree for -180, you should have a decided advantage and a BIG edge to feel confident about laying that? you do understand that -180 can be a bad play, while +165 for florida can also not be a good play?I don't see the correlation with one side being a terrible play making the other side a great play.. Mutually exclusive

    it was obviously an arb
    those rogue prices don't appear everywhere and don't last long

    which also makes those comments about it being a dumb bet irrelevant

    pls don't use terms you do not understand, mutually exclusive applies to two events that CANNOT happen at the same time. just b/c two events are not positively correlated as you contend do not mean they have -1 correlation.
