to get someone to take it you would have to offer better than 1 to 1 odds. the results are weighted more in your favor to not make it an even bet


Hahaha, this shite isn't roulette or poker. There isn't a clear set of "odds." It's like betting on football. You don't have 1 to 1 odds of winning. Sure, you are either going to win or lose, but that doesn't imply equity in the odds.

when betting in football if two teams are greatly mismatched you can't just bet that one team will win straight up and you double your money, that is why there is a spread. if you bet a straight up win the odds are not even and you do not double your money with a win. same thing applies here the mismatch is in his favor when you factor in trade possibilities and lottery outcomes. it is not a fair straight up bet
