Think I found an 80% + play

Will there be a category 5 hurricane in 2006 ?

Yes/ no -110

Aren't those about once a decade ?

TTinCO · May 9, 2006

No landfall\location restrictions? Just "will there be one"?

Tread lightly, very lightly-the ocean is warming and that warm water is gasoline for hurricanes.

I'd go Yes.

Doug · May 9, 2006

It's a little vaque, Atlantic, I assume it has to hit land within 100 miles of Fishhead's house ?

TTinCO · May 9, 2006

Well, if it doesn't include the Caribbean, I'd lean no.

It's wagerweb under their exotic ( that means 45% hold on multi-way) props.

WVU · May 9, 2006

atlantic hurrican would cover the Carribean. It wouldnt cover the gulf of mexico though I imagine

TTinCO · May 9, 2006

I actually caught a few minutes of an in depth show about that exact same thing last night.

(but yeah, I do have the weather bug.....love chasing tornadoes)

One might bet No if living in Fla, one bet you'd like to win.

What is the current OVER/UNDER on TROPICAL HURRICANES(at least 79mph winds)??

So the guy in Florida is going to bet there will be a bunch of hurricanes ? Sort of insurance ?

Doug, we need to do all we can to find an edge.

Thats the name of the game, as you very well know.

doug with the warmer weather that we have had

yes we will have a tropical 5 storm

BAGIANT · May 9, 2006

I really hope not! And I think it's really not the type of prop that someone should put up for betting purposes. Didn't the people in our southern states suffer enough this past year? I should hate to see them go through another year like last year!

Dubpoet · May 9, 2006

I think youre better off on say the Pistons ml tonight and cashing in a couple of hours.

I could always hedge a no with getting the puck out

Do your research into this years La Nina/El Nino patterns and the expected strength of it this year. How they are absolutely critical for hurricane developement.

Every 3-4 decades there's a "Hot" period of hurricanes.. Seem to be in that now.

Doug · May 9, 2006

The one that wiped out N.O. fell short of a 5. You guys better hope there isn't a 50-50 chance of a 5.

I'm not going to bet it, just happened to see it.

You see WW posted their SHIT idol odds on another site, saw a few other things there that are just awful holds.

The weather stuff is fine -110 both ways, but when they get into stuff with 4 or more outcomes, they get insane with the juice.

CHOPTALK · May 9, 2006

YES

I live here in hurricane country. That is a YES 80% of yes.

The tempeture of the water in the Gulf of Mexico this summer is going to be almost an all-time high. That is what gives these storms fuel and strenth. We are in the middle of a bad hurricane cycle that does not end for another 4 years. YES unfortunetly is almost a lock.

I bet ALLSTATE and STATEFARM are all hedging bets at Pinny right now. :lolBIG:
