Betting on Sports 

Peter: Look at this! I just won 2,000 smackaroos! 

Angela: Where did you get all that money? 

Peter: I won it betting on the game last night. I placed a small wager¹ with high odds² and won big. 

Angela: Wow, I always put money in the pools at work, but I’ve never won anything like $2,000. 

Peter: I’ll introduce you to my bookie if you want to do some serious betting. But I warn you: he only deals in high-stakes wagers³, not penny ante bets. 

Angela: You bet through a bookie? You must do some serious gambling⁴. I don’t think that’s for me. 

Peter: You can’t win big, if you don’t play big. I’ve just placed a bet on this weekend’s game. 

Angela: But the Minnesota McQ’s are the favorites by a wide margin⁵. 

Peter: There’s a 10-point point spread. Come on, what do you say? Are you in or out? I’ve just put $500 on it. 

Angela: That’s too rich for my blood. I think I’ll stick to the minor⁶ leagues.
