You think Johnny is trending up and going to be the best player in the league this season?
No. I don't think that. Might want to work on that reading comprehension. It could happen, and it wouldn't shock me, but I wouldn't expect it.

(FWIW I hope he gets 100 points)
It's foolish to bet 1:1 on an outcome that has so much variability, including the risk associated with the current contract. I also wouldn't make a bet that has me either losing money if I lose and not making money if I win.

Counter offer: Assuming Johnny plays at least 65 games, I'll bet $100 he scores at a 1.1 PPG pace on 5:1 odds. If I lose, you can have $100 bucks and do what you please with it (donate) and if I win you pay me $250 and donate the other $250 to CP.

Should be easy money for you.
