You're excused. Now back to reality... (there's quite a few sites that are looking into this same thing, a google search isn't hard).
Didn't you quit fantasy since you couldn't compete on a statistical level? You might want to consider staying away from statistical discussions entirely if you honestly think 1:1MM is realistic. People have trouble grasping large numbers. Suffice to say you aren't close.Last edited by Ken; 12-05-2019, 05:16 PM.Comment

That seems high.
What are the odds of a 73-year-old man (with some cardiovascular issues but presumably the best medical care in the world) dying over the next 13 months? I found a site that quoted 3% chance for the typical 73yo male. I can't believe Trump has a 15% chance of being removed from office or resigning under the threat of such."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

Not sure if you are trolling here like you trolled us in the JDM thread, but if not, you should be betting your house on Trump finishing his term, since it is free money if the true odds are even 1/100th of the scale you think they are.

Betfair doesn't have to know, it's a market. People put up their own money betting on it, and the market drives the odds.
But you shouldn't have to care about any of that. If you truly think the true odds are 1:1MM, you should be rushing to the bank to pull out all your disposable money and put it on the line. After all, there's no reasonable risk of losing it.
Put another way, a professional athlete who has banked $100 million in his career should be so confident that he would be willing to put up half his career earnings for a return of $50. Think about how certain something has to be for someone to do that, and then think again about the odds.Comment
