[Stefan Kaitschick]

Hi Ingo,

ofcourse i wouldn't dream of accepting those conditions.
I would be accepting 30 to 1 odds for H3 and 70 to 1 odds for H2.
And the money I would be risking would make the unhappy outcomes a lot
more likely.

I would say this though: even if the bonus for winning was the same at
all handicap levels,
more pros would still chose 4 or 5 than 2 or 3.

Stefan
