It's funny you pull up Bwin. I was about to post up on the other thread that I wouldn't be surprised if they became the Yamaha title sponsor. Spain is one of, if not, the biggest markets they have.

Nevertheless, I quite agree with those odds, except the the pedrobot, Rossi order.

Maybe I don't understand how the numbers work, but with those odds, can't you put equal money down on Lorenzo, Rossi and Stoner and if any of them win (other than Lorenzo), you're ahead?  If Lorenzo wins, you're even.

until he figures out that whole 1st 6-8 laps grip thing, it ain't likely gonna be an easy thing...I'll take that bet against him winning 2 races...

done

The math looks like that'll work, but I can't imagine they'd let that go.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Rossi doesn't finish better than 3... Bet is 2 Cohiba Esplendidos. Takers?

Why must you tempt me into another loss due to my love and affection for the legend.

If I bet then they will both be injured in Qatar.

I'm thinking Stoner to win is easy money.

Word on the street (pits?) is that the Yamaha R&D budget is significantly lower this year but Honda is still plugging away at it...

And by "easy" I mean I'll use the bwin odds to craft a liquor exchange that's to my advantage if there are any takers

What you thinking?

I'm open to suggestions.

I realize that.

I just wanted to see if you wanted to be foolish in his stead.
