We are stupid

A post below by Maverick made us reevaluate our odds line. The math was way off. Go figure, we were government majors.

Mathematically if you have a 10% chance to win your odds are 9/1. The basic formula is as follows. (100/Percent chance)-1= x/1. or 9-1 (see George Allen). Or(100/Percent)/Percent=X/1 Same thing. If you don't understand that, email your 8th grade pre-algebra teacher.

The line has been adjusted accordingly. And the description has been changed to reflect our newfound mathematical accuracy. We've also added a field bet, coming in at 8% or 25/2. The field represents anybody besides the listed candidates.

You learned something today readers. Off to Vegas!

Thanks to Mav for pointing out our mistake.

    The Cooler line is an exclusive creation of Caucus Cooler and will be updated as the political environment changes.
    It is an unscientific assessment of the Iowa Caucus (not the Presidential race as a whole) from an insiders view at the given time. The line IS NOW mathematically accurate but is NOT intended for gambling purposes. Information may only be reproduced with credit to the Caucus Cooler.
