Forums - General - So....you want a Wii for $10?

I'm just curious.

That would be a good deal for the owner of the Wii, they get like over double the value back.



So Chunk....you need $450 real quick, huh?



yep, ill pay it for 45 or 90 chances

No, it's not a good "Pot" bet. The pot is worth less then the overall investment.

huh, how is $250 before taxes worth less than $10?



I wouldent



I actually tried one of them betting things for ebay you send in 10 bucks and they put your name in for a draw you could win money, a ps3 or ps3 games, I ended up winning 20 bucks lol so I made 10 bucks instead of winning the ps3

Not in the eyes of a poker player.

When you don't have overwhelming odds the only time you should enter a bet is when your likely odds beat the invesment needed to win the "pot" and usually by a decent amount.


Since the "Pot" a Wii = 250... and it costs $10 for a 1 in 45 shot...

$450>$250 makes it a bad bet.

 



Superchunk has a plan to make some money, methinks.
