My local has this Prop:
Will the winner of the Main Event be born in the U.S.A.
Yes -115
No +120

I see great value in a No bet. I don't bet poker-am I missing something?? Thoughts?

You realize that betting both sides simultaneously would result in profit, right?  Unless you have the lines backwards????
