It’s time to set some over-unders
Posted on August 15th, 2007 – 2:52 PMBy Michael Rand
It’s no secret: we love to gamble. We love poker, we love blackjack, we love little slips of paper with numbers on them. Now: we don’t do it very frequently. We’ve always thought gambling was something we could easily get hooked on, and therefore we restrict it to lush, lovely binges every once in a while. Also: We do not claim to be skilled in the ways of oddsmaking. That said, we’d like to set some local over-under odds of interest for the next few months and see what everyone thinks:
Twins victories: 82. Over or under?
Vikings victories: 5.5. Over or under?
MP109 victories: 27. Over or under?
Wild points: 96. Over or under?
Jason Tyner home runs: 1.5. Over or under?
Johan Santana victories: 16.5. Over or under?
Gophers football victories: 6.5. Over or under?
Gratuitous fantasy football references by the proprietor, per week: 3.5. Over or under?
Average length of the RandBall Tuesday morning fantasy football report: 700 words. Over or under?
Michael Vick’s prison service: 10 months. Over or under?
Raging Violet’s ppg in Boston: 22. Over or under?
Combined ppg of the 5 players coming to MP109: 42. Over or under?
Average age of the Twins’ off-season free agent signings: 35. Over or under?
