I'm an average tennis player, an above-average table tennis player (not close to BOMZEE's skill level), yet an excellent pickleball player.

The sport of pickleball is perfect for my skill set.

Good eye-hand coordination, great touch, textbook technique, steely competitor and not a lot of ground to cover (court size is 20 feet x 44 feet).

I'm ready to challenge BIRDIE.

Have you been playing pickleball?

Yes.

I can hit all the shots, BIRDIE, slices included.

I even have a few ATPs (around-the-post) to my credit.

I began playing last year and I would estimate I started at the 4.5 level.

JK -375 over Rail….

Hmmm...

I'm guessing the right price is more like -2500.

And I'm not saying I'm favored.

In most recreational sports, one player's unknown ability level usually dominates the other player's unknown ability level.

After playing one competitive game with BIRDIE, I would know if I was the better player.

It would be like a wrestling match between VIEJO and BIRDIE.

They are not going to trade victories.

Read it twice, still not sure what it means.

Are you saying when 2 unknown entities are talking shit to each other it will never be evenly matched?

-2500/+1500 more likely than -110/110?

I'm a little slow this morning.......

Not never, but if you look at the mythical probability curve of results for a bunch of unknowns A vs B, JK is saying it would look like a barbell with higher probability at both ends than an even match.
