ODDS a NO-HITTER will be thrown today?

Fishhead · Apr 12, 2006

When I worked at the old Castaways Hole in the Wall Sportstbook, everyday Sonny Reizner would offer up odds that a NO-HITTER would be thrown on that particular day.

Any offshore book offer this?

What would you make the TRUE ODDS of this happening on an average days slate of say 13-14 games?

1100 to 1 ..

I remember that...wasn't it usually between 50 and 100-1?

There was never a NO option.

The odds on the YES were would range anywhere from 50-100 to 1 on any given day.

Needless to say, we cleaned up on that prop. :missingte

There was actually one individual that would come in everyday and wager this prop like clockwork.

If memory serves my correctly(probably not), believe in 1986 or 1987 there were no-hitters thrown on back-to-back days or one day apart.

Sonny was sweating.

100 to 1 ??? Did you guys wear masks behind the counter ?

Isnt their like 2400 games a year and maybe 2 throw a year ?

1 for every 1200 games played on average .

Almost exactly two years, give or take a few no-hitter days.

Oh, I see .........1896.

Not that old...........

Considering the smoke in the joint, OXYGEN masks would have served us well.

Remember it is for any one game so if it is 1 out of 1200 games and there are 12 games being played, the odds are not as bad as they look.

i guess that makes sense..

1 for 1200 .

15 games a day . 80 to 1 or so would be about right .

not that you would catch me in line waiting to play it...

Had 50-1 up on the board on the majority of days that had 10+ games that day.

Wow...I remembered that 50-100 to 1 pretty well. I've never set foot in the Castaways but I saw the prop somewhere so they must have had it somewhere else...maybe the Sands? I am not the individual who bet it everyday, but I recall the time Fish refers to when the prop hit twice within 2 days...I always remember the bets that won which I didn't make!

:lolBIG:

As fate would have it, a couple of us leftovers from the Castaways went to work at the SANDS and we instituted the same no-hitter prop there........with slightly better odds.

If you happen to recall a prop on who NOLAN RYANS 5,000th career strikeout victim would be at the Sands, that was my baby.

That would SUCK to work someplace that bad. I probably took years off my life by hanging out in some of the bars we hung out in during college. The stench stuck in the clothes was brutal.
