Lulu | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:25 am  The first BB show had Vegas oddsmakers handicapping the hgs---and they picked Eddie as the favorite to win. Anyone know how they rated the others, esp. Josh and Curtis? |

Lulu | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:44 am  Great job, Azriel - thanks! |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 11:53 am  and remember what he said on the first day about curtis? that he wont win because of his lack of all-american-boy appeal? |
Wendy | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:05 pm  Also, remember what he said about George? Something about how he would be marked for banishment becuase the other hgs would get sick of his "father-figure" role. |
Azriel1104 | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:11 pm  Someone explain to me what 5-2 means. I don't understand why Eddie's is different. |
Dortega | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 12:13 pm  5-2 meaning he's got five in two chances of winning...since five is not divisible by two. |
Whatever | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 01:19 pm  The "fix" for Eddie to win was called early. More discussion: Eddie's Unfair Advantage: He's Censored Does BB have an agenda? Here's Why [insert winner's name here] Won Big Brother |
Biggerbrother | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 01:39 pm  5-2 = 2.5-1 |
Bad_Murtl | Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 02:02 pm  Any gamblers here? If 1-1 means even money, in other words, 50-50, or 1 out of 2 chances, then.... 5-2 means 2 out of 7 chances, or about about 29%. So bet $2, win $7, right? The other side of the bet would be 2-5, bet $5 win $7. If you bet both sides, you've spent $7 and won $7. But the house gets a cut, vigorish, eh?, so the take is a little less than $7. |
