Your best odds are blackjack and is memory serves your chance is like .49% today.  I am sure they had professional gamblers as dealers who got a take of the house winning so you'd be facing even longer odds back then.

I would say the odds of him recovering are less than 25%.

But bet on the hero in the westerns they usually win.

Andrew Bynum will be looking at a five year $100 million contract extension.

  Ever see any old Westerns where a guy in a casino puts a big pile of chips on a number on the roulette table, the owner gulps down a large shot of whiskey and shouts out "go ahead, spin the wheel!"? That's how I'd imagine deciding to offer a contract like that to Bynum would look.


Although in that scenario, the house (owner) usually wins at odds of 36 to 1.

In that scenario, we're the guy putting up the chips, with the odds severely stacked against us.

Huge risk that could set us back years.

  You must have watched different westerns than I did, the guy betting won at least a quarter of the time.

You're being conservative. I think in those Westerns, they defied the odds even more than that, probably like 90%. Maverick was the best.:)

Offense sells tickets, Defense wins games, Rebounds win championships.

  Funny, I was thinking same actor, different movie. "Support your local gunfighter".

Phoenix should get him instead. Who knows? Look at JO right now.
