| Special Offer: MacLeod the One-Sided Bookie | Started by: MacLeod on Feb 01, '09 16:20 |

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. For tonight only, up to 18:00 or so, I have a special one-time offer for you, that I've brought to the streets so that all may see it and none can doubt the results. Please direct your attention over here. Points to a football field across on the straight. Lounging around the 50 yard line are two steel workers. Flying around them, chirping and diving and generally acting in an antagonizing fashion, are a couple cardinals. Jumping up as trying to protect themselves, the steelers swing some sticks at the attacking birds. Quite the battle we've got going on over there. So who do you think will win? Personally, I think the Steelers will pull it off. Not sure why I decided to speak like that word was capitalized. Anyways, if you feel like those cardinals are going to win, feel free to step up and put your money where your mouth is. Flips open his wallet and waits. |

After successfully pick pocketing a poor Gangster Maxie walked up to a man on the street. Good afternoon, Sir. I just found $5000 in an alley. I'll bet it on the vicious Cardinals to beat the over rated Steelers. |

Rourkey waltzes into MacLeod's shop, a freshly-poured whiskey in his hand. Ah, MacLeod my old friend. Are there odds on this bet or is it a straight money-line for the winner? |

| No odds, sir, just a straight up bet. It's my understanding that a large percentage of the population has picked the cardinals to win. So in this case, I'm keeping things simple. If you think the cardinals will win and will put up some money, I'm willing to put up the equivalent on the opposite side, so long as I've a dime to my name. | |

Walks out into the street with a wheelbarrow filled up with one million dollars. No one who thinks those cardinals will win is willing to put up some cash? Let's get some action going, people. Bets anywhere up to a million until further notice. |

| Other bets are certainly a possibility, sir, if you'd inquire about them rather than merely watering the plants beneath you. | |
