Even if we use the older, historical numbers for SOs happening 13.5% of the time, that still gives us 219 to 1.

Either way, your payout of about 70 to 1 is, well, let's call it a rather large bid-ask spread.

(I know, it's entertainment, I was just curious)

I assume with sportselect when he says SO he means tie. If you pick tie it just has to go to overtime for you to win the pick.
