Degenerate Prop Betting

[user75032]

Billy "The Croc" Argyros' confidence is running high here in Sydney. So high, in fact, that he has laid out a prop bet for anyone who's looking for a little side action. The prop involves the World Series of Poker Main Event champion Peter Eastgate.

Argyros has declared that he will last longer in this tournament than Eastgate will, and he will accept all even-money bets up to AU$10,000 from anyone who wants to bet on Eastgate. The rules are quite simple. (1) Joe Hachem or Grant Levy will hold the money for both parties. (2) If Eastgate doesn't play, the bet is off. (3) If neither Eastgate nor Argyros makes the money in this tournament, the bet is off.

Argyros' stated rationale for the bet is not that he thinks he is more talented than Eastgate, but that Eastgate will be jet-lagged from flying into Sydney the night before the tournament. So far, Argyros has found only one taker, for AU$100.
