It's clearly not a "generous wager", Gander. And it's simple to prove it's a bad bet. You can do better by betting futures at BetGameday.com:

09/09/2006
17:00 Bernadini 12 to 5
Max bet to win $3000
09/09/2006
17:00 Invasor 13 to 2
Max bet to win $3000
09/09/2006
17:00 Lava Man 7 to 1
Max bet to win $3000

From those odds, you can construct a bet that will be better than giving 3-2 to Randall. I'll give an example in a few minutes.
