Default If I had a million dollars for gambling

Id be smart enough to put it all on NZ to BT Scotland in the Rugby Union at $1.01. No doubt they will get thrashed. But by how much. Handicap is set at -34.5 Im predicting the scoreline to exceed this by far bigger. However $1.01 interest sounds safe for me. I wonder if banks would let you borrow this much. hahaha

If you had a million dollars, you wouldn't need to bet.

No I wouldnt been keen to back cricket..Only game Id be willing to back at really short odds is union. Well ive just earned my 1% interest. nice dream. BTW if i did have a million lying around for sure Id have a bet,for the excitment of watching the game. But with a million its harder to walk away with a $1000 win, unlike if i had a starting bank of $10k

"Only game Id be willing to back at really short odds is union"

I actually agree with this. I just think it's one of those games where 'luck' isn't a factor in a highly mismatched game. I wouldn't agree with it in this case (nz vs scotland), but I'd definately back nz vs say the US, japan, georgia etc. There's just no way a top team is going to lose to one of these teams. In 100 matches, a team like the ABs will NEVER lose to a low team, there's just too much skill involved, and almost no luck. The things that can go wrong still won't stop a top team from running over a poor team.
