Sure, and the odds of a varsity baseball player making it to the major leagues is about the same. The odds started out at 1/100. I'd say the line has shifted significantly over the past 10 years for Anavex. The current odds are at worst 50/50. And the return on those odds is way better than even money so from a purely mathematical standpoint, the gamble becomes way more attractive today than back when the odds were around 1%.

I've learned not to rely too much on odds anymore. One childhood friend of mine grew up to be a successful pro athlete. Another was struck by lightning. I wonder what they'd say about beating the odds?
