Those aren't necessarily the odds you could get in Vegas, but that's still the general idea. Never, never, never give crazy odds like 5000 to 1. Unless it's a bet something like "an asteroid will strike the earth in the next year and wipe out all human life". Because, if they're right, there's still no way they're getting paid!

Vegas isn't nearly as stupid. E.g. the Cleveland Browns epitomize hapless. And yet a quick search for payoffs for next year's superbowl shows them at 200 to 1. http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_futures_odds_super_bowl_li....
