Where can I put my money on cache coherency?

I’ll take that bet and I will give you a generous 1:10 bet odds ratio.

So, if you give me $1000 dollars as your stake then:

- If you are wrong I get to keep the whole $1000

- If you are correct then I will give you $100 of your money back. (Leaving me with $900 of your money still hehe).

In other words what I am saying is, I think you are correct in what you said ;)

FYI, what you wanted to say was 1 for 10, not 1 to 10.

Like craps odds when betting on the don't side, where you win less than what you bet.

But it's important to point out that even with 1 for 10 odds, you still get your original stake back plus the extra 1.

Thanks for clarifying. Guess it's a good thing I never tried to enter the betting industry haha

Yeah, nobody would ever place a bet if the best payout was less than what you put in...

I know you were just making a point, but I want to point out that the “nobody” part is certainly not true, as sad as that is. Generally something like that is considered fraud/deception, but it does happen.
