Olive / Sports The Mercury Gambling Challenge: Man vs. Pug (Update #1)

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 7:32 AM

It's clear a dog treat-based betting system is not the way to gamble. After one weekend of our Mercury Gambling Challenge, our human gambler (Matt Slessler) is winning by a single game. It's not an impressive lead, but with an 0-3 start the pug is going to need to make a great comeback.

Next game:
The Las Vegas Bowl
Oregon St. vs BYU, tomorrow night.
Matt selected the Beavers, Olive went with the Mormons. Stupid pug.

It's impressive that Olive made worse choices than a just purely random sampling would have done. Maybe it's because pugs are some of the dubmest dogs out there. They're like hamster-level brite.
