Las Vegas?

[DuluthFan]

So there is still a possibility.

[DaveW]

Las Vegas?

Yes.

 

 

And yes, I did bet $20 to win $50,000. Because I am an idiot.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

Yes.

I'd actually bet $50,000 to win 20 bucks. Of course by the time you cash your bet you've actually lost money. But hey, comped lunch!

[Platoon]

2500-1? Seems a little optimistic to me!

[Ncgo4]

I'm chartering a flight to Vegas tomorrow so my friends and I can get in on this free money! Go Twins!

Should be higher.  Like 1,000,000,000:1

"Next time, give me half the money you were going to bet, I'll take ya outside, kick ya in the balls and we'll call it a day!"

[BobAzar]

Hey, Leicester City had worse odds!

[ashbury]

Should be higher.  Like 1,000,000,000:1

For that I'd invest my dollar. Not for 2500 - trying to find a way to short that.

I was going to say that too.  I'm surprised that the odds are that good.

[jimmer]

Before the season started they did.  Not almost halfway through the season :-)

If it were 2500:1 on next year, I'd throw $20 at it. Maybe even $50. There is a lot of time for moves to be made to improve this terrible team next year where we may have a glimmer of hope. And we may have a new GM to make it happen. Maybe. We'll see.

 

But for this year? No, no. That $20 would be better off putting it on a hand of blackjack, and just letting it ride for 11 straight wins and walking away with $41K.

[Mike Sixel]

No way, I'd rather put that money on the lottery at this point.....which I realize is irrational, btw.

[Otto von Ballpark]

FWIW, Fangraphs has us at 0.0% across the board for playoff odds.

Except, somehow, in "coin flip mode", we do managed 0.1% in playoff/division/ALDS odds.  I guess because no one has ran away with our division yet (although we have pretty much run away in the opposite direction).

 

Looks like we were still at 0.5% playoff odds two weeks ago, and 0.2% a week ago.  Now I guess it is 0.049% or less...

Can you lend me $10.00  so I can make a bet?

[Jerr]

Then WHY isn't there a "magic number thread" somewhere on Twins Daily? Come on!

 

[DaveW]

2-0 since the bet was placed.

Your welcome.

 

 

[DaveW]

Yes.

[snepp]

Sooooooo close to paying off.

[glunn]

It is still at least theoretically possible for the Twins to make the postseason, but only in the event of some cataclysm on the order of 11 plane crashes of other teams' airplanes and a willingness of MLB to continue the postseason after such an unthinkable loss.

You mean I gave up too soon?  I hate it when I do that.  Go Twins!

[Jerr]

Soooo, is there a team with longer odds???? I hope the Twins are the longest shot!

[HitInAPinch]

Take the under next year.....

Probably best he didn't win. Would've just spent it all on liquor and whores.

Just another Tuesday basically.

Oh come on! He'd gamble some of it away too.
