Folks, when you're right 52% of the time you're wrong 48% of the time. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 24, 13:13 6

  - Your math is wrong. It's about 55%. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 24, 13:52 1
    - Unless you choose really crappy wagers like 10 team parlays with a huge house edge. - Strongbad Mar 24, 13:54

Words have meaning, Rece. Risk-free might be listed as an actual antonym of gambling on some services. - David Mar 24, 12:15 5
- If I bet it all and lose, I’m suing because they told me it was risk-free. -- nm - Tim Mar 24, 12:18 4
  - no no no, I said "risk free" the rise in the voice at the end forms it into a question rather than a statement -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Mar 24, 12:37 2
    - Works on contingency? No, money down! -- nm - Tim Mar 24, 12:38 1
      - heh. there is a radio commercial here that does the No money down and i always do that bit. every time :) -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Mar 24, 12:40
  - This really might be a thing. They may need to bench Rece for a month. -- nm - David Mar 24, 12:29
