Okay, is the the way you want to interact? Because most people here understand that you're a mouthy punk who doesn't know much.

argumentum ad populum

argumentum ad verecundiam

argumentum ad nauseam

argumentum ad hominem

Did you just try to hit almost all of them all in one post? Impressive. In the sort of way that makes me want to start calling psychiatrists on your behalf.

He plays for the Sox. He's never won 15 games in his career. You've called him "Losing Pitcher" Quintana so you should feel like this is a One Post like wager for you.


"Losing Pitcher" is John Danks' nickname. I've called Quintana "The Great" Jose Quintana because he is the only "great" starting pitcher in history who has never had a 15 win season. The Sox are a middle of the road team. If Quintana ever won 15 games they'd be a good team. We have an example of an actual great pitcher who has pitched on the same teams and has a .600 winning percentage.


What type of odds do I get? I'm sure we can figure something out that makes sense for both of us. I'm thinking 9 to 1 odds that he finishes next year 8 games over .500 for his career. Considering how mediocre he's been I'm taking a huge leap of faith to take odds like that. I'm willing to risk $200.



Don't be ridiculous. If he pitches 16 years that's a half a game over .500 for each season. He's quite capable of achieving such a thing, though it hardly qualifies him as "great".

You're the guy saying he is great. Maybe you should be laying the odds.


Sorry, I misread what you wrote. Eight over after next year? He's probably capable of that too, but it doesn't make him great either. How about this- we bet $100 on an O/U of 5 games above .500 for next year and I'll take the under. If he's exactly five over it's a push.


You have a deal at 4 games over .500 for his career at the end of next season.


I'll go 5 over for his career or 4 over for next season, your choice.[/quote]

I'm still at 4 for his career at $100. I probably could do 5 over for his career if I get $125 for my $100.

Sox score 2, and he gives 2 (so far) right back.

Trade this guy and fill other holes on this roster
