Listen to the 2 minute mark of this episode to hear Grizzly Bear vs. Behind the Bets 12/18/13.Īnd the potential battle between a grizzly bear and gorilla had created such a bizarre discussion among the sportsbetting community that Millman and Scucci kicked off the next episode of Behind the Bets podcast with a second discussion on grizzly vs. Listen to the 14 minute mark of this episode to hear my question and Scucci's response. I wanted to hear what a Vegas bookie had to say about the fight, especially Scucci's opinion. Scucci gives his assessment of different games from week-to-week. Also on Millman's podcast is Bob Scucci, a renown Las Vegas bookmaker from the Orleans. I brought the discussion to the attention of Chad Millman, the editor of ESPN Magazine and the host of Behind the Bets podcast. Who better to weigh in on the potential battle than a Las Vegas bookmaker. I wanted a professional's opinion on the outcome. Maybe a drug cartel lord had a similar discussion with his peers, except they had enough dough (and cojones) to actually make it happen. I know I'll draw some serious heat from the PETA people, but it really can't be that hard to arrange a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly bear. I think there's some demand in the public to see this as a real fight. I figured the grizzly was the favorite, but on any given day, a gorilla had a fighting chance. Although a silverback gorilla is very fast, quite strong, and has a longer arm span, it is unlikely that a silverback could defeat the much larger and faster grizzly bear in a fair fight. ![]() If the gorilla can withstand the initial rush and first wave of an assault from the grizzly, then the gorilla will outsmart him. I'm going with the assumption that intelligence trumps power. a grizzly bear or silverback gorilla? Both felt very strongly that a grizzly bear would whoop a gorilla because he has "knives as fingers" as Otis put it. Otis and G-Rob have had a long-standing discussion on who would win a fight.
