Odds to Win 2008 IFL Championship

Ladies and gentlemen, live from the strip in Las Vegas, inside his personal executive men's room stall in the penthouse of the most luxurious, over-the-top resort in the universe, the Tangiers Hotel and Casino, we bring you Sam "Ace" Rothstein's Odds to win the 2008 IFL Championship!!!

Wo------------------------- 6-1
Chris T--------------------- 8-1
RVG----------------------- 10-1
Whit----------------------- 12-1
Mike B--------------------- 13-1
B'busting Bob-------------- 15-1
Shu----------------------- Shu-1
John E--------------------- 16-1
Devo----------------------- 20-1
Tone $--------------------- 25-1
Meatball------------------- 33-1
Chaos---------------------- 44-1
Mike P---------------- 45,000-1
Holland---------------- 1,000,000,000,000-1 (one trillion-to-one)

Despite the long odds, save your money on Holland, invest in junk bonds or start lending money to high-risk borrowers or something. Mike P's 45K-1 looks enticing, but must I remind you again, there has never been a repeat champion, and not to mention, he is a dope and he will not win again. The odds on Wo-Man are a little ambitious, as he has his hands full with other things and I do not feel he is fully focused on football. Shu's odds look rather tasty, even though I am not sure what the payout would be. My best bet would be Tone Money at 25-1, as I feel he is on the cusp of greatness. Put your house on it. And if you lose your house, you can always stay at the Tangiers Hotel and Casino for a couple weeks.


Please give a warm welcome to Nevada State Gaming Commission director of alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and fantasy football, Mr. Lester Diamond, who will give us the particulars on the over/unders for IFL wins.

Holland--------- even $
Chaos----------- 4-1
Whit----------- 10-1
BB Bob--------- 18-1
Devo----------- 22-1
RVG---------- 140-1

(inside info: the Gut Contest will likely be fixed so that Snyder wins it, so expect his odds to decrease dramatically in the hours before the shirts come off)


Please fill out bet slips COMPLETELY before coming to the Tangiers Sportsbook window. Anyone caught cheating will have their hand pounded with a hammer, their balls stabbed with ice picks, their head squeezed in a vice, and will be pummeled with a Louisville Slugger by Frank Marino, and left to die in a shallow grave in the desert outside Las Vegas. Thanks for playing with us and make sure you tip your valet parking attendant!
