Well... when you gave your reason as being that "you don't bet", and now it's been established that you do/will bet, it made your comment moot. Plus, it's gematria, so it's a sure thing.
It's not like we haven't had previous years of the Tiger. In their existence, the Tigers have never won a WS in the year of the tiger. They've won 4 titles...1935, 1968, 1945, and 1984. None of those were years of the tiger. Why would it start happening now, aside from the fact their WS wins are really about how their teams were composed and performed, and completely unrelated and independent of the Chinese lunar year?
Well... my suggestion is do not place a $2500K bet on the Tigers, unless you're 100% confident you'll win because the entity you place the bet with will interpret $2500K as $2,500,000.
We all know how much Jewish mysticism is tied to Chinese Astrology. Why do you think Jewish people eat Chinese food on Christmas..
