    No, I’m not going to bet even money on something I can win more on.

    Again, you made the offer. So don’t try and flip it around now.

    And no, that’s not the premise. You made the offer with Stroud as the favorite, you don’t get to change it after you were called on it.
    You’re talking about two top 3 picks, one still in college where an injury can happen. It’s essentially a futures bet, which always has odds.
    You know this

    Where specifically was an offer made that Stroud is a favorite?

    I said I’d bet money with anyone that Stroud has a better career in the NFL than Maye.

    Both players have played ZERO downs, Maye is a BETTER prospect according to you. Unless you really don’t think that to be true.

    When you claim Stroud is your guy, as an offer against a guy in the league. He’s the favorite.
    You’re claiming he’s going to have a better career, meaning he’s the better prospect in your mind. You’re the book at that point, so you offer odds or not.
    He’s your favorite, why would anyone bet even money against a favorite?

    Don’t try and change it now.

    Can’t y’all just say, barring injuries within the next year, (an injury could happen to either of them) assuming Maye gets drafted early then you bet on an even line for their career? Each of you thinks your guy is the better prospect. I don’t understand how there are odds. Cmoak you have literally been pushing for us to skip a QB altogether this draft and go for Maye next year, how is that thinking Maye will be better. Back the money down to $100 so y’all can both swallow it and just make the simple bet..

    or take each others numbers and continue it there. But it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

    You’re too stupid to understand concepts. Stay out of conversations you can’t possibly understand

    The response below your post is ALL you need to know about all the talk since April. Begging for favorable odds is a tacit admission that Stroud is the better prospect. that an insult was thrown out rather than a calm, rational explanation of why betting on a player touted as a generational talent and an OBVIOUSLY superior prospect would necessitate favorable odds only enforces that fact.

    First, know what you’re talking about. HLM brought a conversation/argument from another forum.
    Second, stop being a little sissy. Or just say you know nothing about gambling.
    I did not make the initial offer, there isn’t a book on earth that would give even odds on a current NFL QB vs a future prospect.

    You jackasses are the ones claiming Stroud is an elite prospect yet aren’t prepared to bet him as the favorite.

    As a prospect, Maye is superior. This isn’t debatable. We aren’t talking about their prospects, we’re talking about a QB already drafted and in the league vs a Sophmore. One should be the heavy favorite regardless of prospect potential

    Dawg. How about this?

    If Maye gets drafted top 3/5, the even money bet becomes live?

    Giving him flexibility for the draft.

    We were arguing in another thread. Either way I don’t care, he’s a piece of ****

    He doesn't sign, jumps in the chopper with the Evil Agent, and is flown to a whites only party hosted by Drake and Mattress Mac.
