Our road might be the most difficult on the field. Geez.

 

You may be right. Virginia coming in angry that they aren't hosting.

 

Three 40-win teams and a 36-win team in our regional

 

Ouch.

 

Can someone explain betting odds to me? I always get them confused.

The bet was: "Gary's Shirtless Revenge said he'd go $20 and that he'd give one person 2/1 odds."

I thought having 2/1 odds meant I had to put down $20 and would have won $40 if I won the bet, but would only be out $20 if I lost the bet.

Did I interpret this backwards?

 

You're totally right, I did give you odds, I just forgot. You wagered $20 with the opportunity to win $40 back. I only had a 1/1 ratio.

So $40 it is... See my PM.

 

What was the bet?

 

maniac request for the $40 to be all in 1's and make it rain in Rick's on Saturday night!!!!!!!

 

FIFY

 

GSR thought Texas was going to be so bad this year he bet that they wouldn't make a regional. Moose had stated that they had better talent than GSR was giving them credit for, and Maniac stepped up to the plate and accepted the open offer with 2/1 odds on $20.

 

Gracias. I remember that conversation now.

 

I always knew Maniac was a closet Longhorn fan. He hides it well, but it's pretty clear if you pay attention.

 

Technically he should be getting $60 total. On 2/1 odds, his original bet gets returned on top of double what he bet (hence the 2/1 odds).

So his original $20 + ($20 x 2) = $60. At least that's how it works at the track

 

Haha. I was openly a huge fan myself, much more so than TCU until 2003 when I enrolled. I was Ut kinda until 2007 then not at all. Half my family went there including both parents. Now I love to watch them lose against TCU and suffer in general. That said I still root for them OOTO kinda.
