For some reason, chicago breeds traders. This is what I found on ebay this morning. OPTION on four NLCS game 7 tickets, Cubs See the Chicago Cubs take on the Florida Marlins in a historic game 7 in Wrigley Field! This is an OPTION to buy 4 game 7 NLCS tickets at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, October 15, 2003. These are great seats, section 233, row 17, on the aisle, between 1st base and the visitors bullpen. Here's how it works: If you win this auction, using buy it now or by being the winning bidder, you will have the option to buy four game seven tickets at $500 dollars each ($2000 total). If game 7 happens, tickets are predicted to be as much as $1000 a piece, so take advantage of this offer, and save some serious money! NO REFUNDS ON THE OPTION PREMIUM. PAYPAL ONLY. I will provide proof of tickets in an agreement within 2 hours of auction close. Thanks and happy bidding. Tickets will be delivered to you in person, for free, Wednesday morning, in Chicago.Text

I wonder how historical "choke" factors affect the gamma of something like that

I notice that RookieQuant is from Austin TX. On the off-chance that he is a Houston Astros fan, then it's certain he knows the choke factor very well. But RQ, rest assured that a few cases of gratitude in Francois Montand Brut bottles were sent from the Cubs to Milwaukee two weeks ago ...
