Fellas, being a Floridian, I called a fellow Team FLA GPer BP and actually discussed this. Last year 7 MAJOR (classified Cat. 3 or higher) hit the United States. Ask any intelligent Floridian that watches the news and they will tell you this year is going to be worse. I am laying on Six or more for 1K (have a split bet with a friend).
I'm also advocating laying heavy on a Cat 3 or higher hitting the State of Florida. We've had one 6 years running now and it's only -135 for a yes answer.
Good luck, I know it's bad karma, but If my house gets wiped out, I at least want to say I called it and bet on it!
Have a good one, lay a little on six or more storms, you got a real good shot. And a 3 or higher hitting the state of FLA is a no brainer.
