Why is Pregame.com doing this?Because from here on, every time a tout claims over 57%, you can ask him why he didn’t take the Fezzik Challenge.
And even better, if someone does take it, we have no doubt that we are the favorite! My guess is no one will take the challenge, because if you are smart enough to have $10,000 to bet, then you are smart enough to know the truth about winning.
The purpose of the Challenge is not to challenge other winning handicappers (who know how amazing 55% is) but rather to "challenge" the idea that consistent results over 57% are nearly impossible. In fact, Fezzik himself would be at best 50/50 in his own challenge - so he wouldn't take it. That's the point.
