Sweet post, MB...
I'm not trying to nitpick here, but odds are usually expressed x:1 instead of 1:x. For example, you were a "3 to 1" underdog (the ":" = "to") not a "1 to 3" underdog. So in the future, or if you feel like editing this post, I think it would be a little more clear if you wrote them in the reverse order.
I know it sounds stupid, but I was reading your post very closely and kept getting messed up because of that.
