Funny that this was brought up because I was having this same argument with my future brother in law this weekend. He's preparing to unload on Bird at the Belmont because "a little more distance and he wins for fun". Now he could easily win the race but I told him to maybe wait to see who enters the race before throwing any real money down.

you were a good in law and explained he's most likely incorrect, right?

Unfortunately I did tell him that he may want to save his money but now almost wish I didn't because maybe he'll keep talking him up to everyone else and there will be more money to be made...........although his $10 win bet probalby change the odds too much.

I don't care what the dealer has up. I will never hit 12 or more. You can't win if you are over 21

There are some striking similarities between poker and horseplaying, Jennifer Tilly maybe being the most interesting.

The Jennifer Tilly one. The other one needed a happy face to be funny. Without it, it was scarily clueless.
