All I have to do is state facts where you need to make them up.
How is that bet working out? You find anyone offering it?  :)

At the right odds, someone will take virtually any bet. Would you take it (one point margin of victory) if I were to offer it to you at 1000:1 odds? No, I’m not offering it to you at those odds...

I can ask you to do the same. None of us said even odds. None of us said Vegas directly offers the bet. You just said no one would make it at the right odds. I disagree. There always is the right price.

If they were stupid enough to offer this it would have to be at such bad odds no one would take it. Please keep shooting your mouth off showing your ignorance!!!  :)
You need reading comprehension 101.

You can definitely create a strangle like strategy at a Vegas casino if you have half of a brain. And even if you couldn’t, I never said you could -
None of us said Vegas directly offers the bet.
Open mouth insert foot!!!

That’s true. At a simple level, combine a spread with a line bet and it resembles a strangle, but isn’t as customizable as you’d want. I never said you could replicate a bet that the margin of victory would exceed one.

Ah, you were confused at the word “Make.” I apologize for using words outside of your vocabulary. And for my point going completely above your head. Vegas is a market, even if it isn’t efficient and has significant transaction costs. Do you disagree with this? Do you disagree that there is a price to most bets (barring impossible ones, perhaps)?

I see English is not your first language. 🤔
They can only offer this bet at terrible odds. No one would take it at terrible odds. Book bets for ten plus years then get back to me.

I don't know what's frustrating me more. The cavs horrible perimeter defense, sloppy passing, or your fundamental misunderstanding to how betting or investing works. But humor me: When you say "terrible" odds, what do you mean?

Sure!  :P
When fair odds would be 10:1 and they make it 5:1. Those would be terrible odds and any n00b could see that.

You assume they will offer the other side and you would be wrong. You just don't understand.

If they want people to take the bet, sure they will. Vegas makes money from the juice and sets lines to encourage as many people as possible to bet at relatively fair levels. And even if they don’t, which is hypothetical, you could construct your own with what they do offer (transaction costs aside)

LAS was 500:1 to win the SC. There was no other side of the bet.
