Oh I see, I am now suppose to do the same

 

Nope, I left my wallet in the Limo

 

You are DRIVING the limo! Reach over and get it! 

 

I would not make that bet. It’s going to be painful enough, and even I have limits.

What's the difference between "To Win" and "To Collect"?

 

Smart-ass answer: $25,000.

 

But seriously, I'm not a gambler. What do those terms mean?

The $200,000 is the amount you're actually winning 

 

You're collecting $225,000 because you get your initial investment back

The wager is 25K, you win 200K, so you collect your original wager of 25K+ your winnings of 200K for a total of 225K

I mean aren't we co-favorites for the whole thing? The only thing that seems shocking is the amount but I'm sure there's a segment of the gambling pool that makes bets like that.

The bet or amount aren't shocking but the timing is. The odds aren't going to get shorter before the season, they are already favorites. You could get the same odds in September.

 

There is only downside to betting on the bills this early. 

 

JA gets hurt in training camp and all of a sudden the odds are +3000 and you are stuck with a $25k piece of paper.

How times have changed since a certain poster here claimed to have bet 5K on the Vikings (against the Bills) on the eve of the leap heard ‘round the world 2018:w00t:

There was a guy on here who bet $5k or $10k (honestly can't remember the figure, but it was hefty) on the Bills vs Titans in 2020 because it was easy $$$ for the Bills win.
