Infinonymous: Step Right Up! Step Right Up! (Pay No Attention To The Development Behind The Schedule . . .)

Step Right Up! Step Right Up! (Pay No Attention To The Development Behind The Schedule . . .)

The Radical Middleman aptly observes that even obscenely subsidized development in InsolvenCity is a bad

bet (except for the List-Makers and other cream-skimmers).

Which makes dumping another $35 million in taxpayer funding into the politically toxic, operationally counterproductive cesspool that is Pittsburgh's Urban Redevelopment Authority the worst local news since the National League included the Pirates in this season's schedule.

PROPOSITIONS TERMS
****************
Wagers accepted while proposition posted (until removed); dds may be revised at any time without advance notice; no winner paid without ticket; all bets are action upon acceptance by management. 10% commission deducted from successful wagers
PROPOSITIONS POINTERS
The number expressed after a proposition identifies the line, or ratio by which wagers for that proposition would be paid upon occurrence of the proposed event. A line of 2-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $2 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $3). A line of 1-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $1 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $2). A line of 3-5 indicates that a successful $5 wager would generate a $3 winning (and aggregate payment of $8). The greater the ratio the first number bears to the second, the less likely the proposed event is expected to occur.)
Examples:
99-1 extreme odds; remote probability
15-2 high odds; low probability
1-1 even odds; 50-50 probability
2-15 low odds; high probability
1-99 extreme odds; overwhelming probability
