You're down by about 220 points, so you're certainly an underdog.
And 220 points in this game is 220 points - no projections, games in hand, or any of that stuff to muddy the waters.
But 4-1 is fair odds, I think.
If you don't think so, make me a counter offer.
I mean, if I said I was giving you 50-1 or 100-1 (which I won't, of course) I'm sure you'd take it.
here 'ya go....
You just shaved a load of points off my lead, and I'll still give you 4-1 odds.
Don't tell me that in a game of skill you don't have enough confidence in your chances of catching me that you think that your chances are worse than 1 out of 4.
Or, let's reverse it.
You give me 4-1 odds, and I'll bet that I beat you by more than our current difference over the rest of the season.
Don't tell me that that in a game of skill you don't have enough confidence in your chances of beating me with a lead of 180 points or so that you think that your chances are worse than 1 out of 4.
Or take both bets.
Tell 'ya what.....
I'm so confident that I'll take 3-1 odds instead of the 4-1 that I'm offering you.
