TheGreek is not offering the "All Others" bet. If you think fair odds for "All Others" should be 4-1, then TheGreek's odds constitute an 11.5% takeout. Different "All Others" assumptions lead to different vig conclusions. If you think 6-1 is fair for "All Others", then the vig on TheGreek's odds is 7%.

Several of those odds can be beaten at World Sports Exchange (wsex.com):
Caracortado 25-1
Conveyance 30-1
D'Funnybone 40-1
Dave In Dixie 30-1
Super Saver 30-1

World Sports Exch is no longer "A" rated at SportsbookReview, however. (Some slow-pay problems.)

Sure you would. Or should. If you take 400-1, you can give me 200-1, which I'd gladly take. Then you can guarantee yourself a profit either way.
