This is reasonable.
I will confirm the bet with you before Duke's first game of the regular season (on 11/14), to see if anyone else will offer me better odds (and even if I do get better odds, I will still probably book with you). I will confirm via both PM and a post in this thread.
As a reassurance, my reputation on 2+2 is excellent. I have made several trades over the past couple years on the Internet Poker Person-to-Person Transfer Thread, with almost every time the other person sending to me first. More importantly, I have run several fantasy sports money leagues for 2+2 posters for more than 3 years, in baseball, basketball, and football. I have been entrusted to escrow thousands of dollars over the course of that time, and always paid everyone out and never had an issue with any of my leagues. I've also paid any losing sidebets I have had in those leagues.
Sorry for the long-winded explanation, but figured to address any possible concerns. You can feel free to look over my post history to confirm it.
Looking at your post history very briefly, it looks like you have a good history of trading tournament shares, so that's a good start before I look into it further.
Quick question: would you be open to buying each other out based on events on the regular season? For example, if Duke suffers two-season ending injuries to key players, etc. I doubt that will come up but it will be good to know if that's an option.
If anyone else can offer me better than 6-1 odds on Duke winning the National Championship, please let know.
