The pool has just begun. Since it's a bet you should be drawing people in too. It would really suck to get the bet way up there and then you loose. ;) Yeah, but I can't decide which way to go. I could try to pull people in to bet that I can do it, and try to hedge my losses that way. Or, I could try to draw in a bunch of suckers people to bet against me, and thereby run up the pool to try and increase my winnings.
Decisions, decisions... ;)
All depends on how confident you are, of course on the other side you have to remember the rule on sucker bets. As Harry Anderson put it "if somebody comes up to you on the street and bets you that the queen of diamonds will jump out of this deck of cards and spit cider in your ear, and you take that bet, don't be surprised if you get a wet ear."
And remember I'm hoping to lose my $5. The entertainment value is worth $5 easy.
