    false--its likely never happened before which is a perfect reason to set it at 500:1.


    sportsbook.com had it. an attempt by either team netted you +250.

    On any given Sunday, out of 16 games played, I would expect at least 2 on average to try a 2 pt conversion.

    That's 1:8 ratio.

    No way that was 500:1. That's the equivalent of saying that a 2 pt conversion is attempted less than 1 time per NFL season.

    Just can't be. Sorry.

    Let me guess, you did not bet it.

    Ah, I see, you messed up your terminology. You indicated 500:1 which would be +50,000 but what you really meant was +500. The way you indicated it, you would get 50 grand for a hundred dollars bet. That's not the case. You would get 500 for every 100 bet.

    Exactly, I've never seen any bet go off at 500:1. Those are such slim odds that sportsbooks typically don't place odds on stuff like that because the only outcome of any substance is that they get crushed.

    minor difference between 500 bucks and 50k.
