Much time has passed but don’t forget the belief Kobe committed rape is your opinion and absolutely not proven to be factual. I am of the opinion that he had consensual sex with a young woman that made up a story afterwards because she had no explaination for her injuries down there. This has also not proven to be factual either.

It’s Biden’s fault.

Regardless of your political views, this was an abhorrent act that can never be tolerated in our society. My condolences to his family, and all the radical hate groups that are mourning especially the white supremacists, Q deep staters, and 2A preppers. Godspeed

Affordability has become almost as much of a hinderance to housing as the rate. Skyrocketing unemployment and higher average debt to income also make it harder for many average people to qualify.

A cycle repeats. This isn’t a cycle. He’s getting stronger and stronger the more time that passes and the more he’s allowed to get away without any pushback. He’s becoming more brazen by the day. These are uncharted waters we are in now, my friend. Things in the past have never been what they are today.

It wasn’t true six months ago. It is now.

A rate cut happens because our king wants a rate cut. Technicals don’t matter anymore. The only analysis needed is What the king wants, the king gets.

I agree you can’t judge him on one game. I can point out that he made a coaching error in this game. Time doesn’t start until someone touches the ball so declining a kick out of bounds penalty will only result in them having to doing the same thing with the same time on the clock. They could do this a few times before the ref would declare an unfair act and penalized the receiving team. Kickoff OB was a better option. Timewise, the onside kick would’ve done essentially the same thing as happened by the deep kick that was returned. They would’ve had a least a slight chance to recover it. I think that also would’ve been a better option. Santos isn’t know for a booming leg. I don’t think kicking out of the endzone is something you can ask him to do with high confidence. Even more now as kickers are spending all their practice time trying to take something off it to land the ball in the field of play.

Ben with a huge coaching error at the end of his first game. Not a great start for boy wonder. Need to either try the onside or kick it out of bounds. Can’t kick it deep with only 1 timeout under 2 minutes.

Why not just say 0-10. It would be better for your schtick. -

My biggest concern was OL. It’s a new group and their all pro player probably had his worst game as a pro. I trust in Hank Fraley to get it figured it out. He is one of the best. They just need more time to gel. Game plan and playcalls don’t matter much when your line is a sieve. Which brings me to the point of maybe it’s time to retire the play nobody strategy in preseason. This is 2 years in a row the offense has started flat. They can’t wait until week 4 to get I’d figured out this season or else they’ll be 1-3 -

Sometimes you’re the fire hydrant. On to next week… If they lose at home with offense and secondary issues again then it will be time for concern. -
One can only dream this is the year he gets caught on a hot mic and has his Nick Castrellanos drives one to left field moment.

Collingsworth is so ****ing annoying.

It’s all good. We’re still talking peaches and nectarines. Close by quite the same thing.

I use all of these same factors when I place a HR prop bet. It’s a very big part of it. They factor in the correlation in the individual player expectations. They should and do have an impact on the player odds. These factors should be baked intro the odds and not the payout formula. I’m not betting totals or sides and there isn’t any relationship like QB to WR or Point Guard to Power Forward that has a direct impact on one another. There isn’t any correlation between one batter that would impact another batter from hitting a home run in the same game with the same park conditions. They are trying to stretch things to their advantage again.
-
I know about correlation and it makes sense in your examples. There shouldn’t be any on player HR props. They are completely independent of each other. FD is just being shady

This is brilliant strategy. Finally, the Dems fighting Trump at his own shady game that values perception over truth. I don’t think it’s unusual for a President to duck out of the spotlight on Wednesday before Labor Day weekend when Congress is not in session. It’s not a big deal to set out a vague Presidential announcement on his daily schedule where he most likely announce some made up trade deal. They are taking every opportunity to hit on Trump’s age, health, and potential cognitive ability. They are not letting what may not even be true hold them back and keeping it in the forefront of the press cycle and making it a story. It’s the strategy that got Trump in office and it may be the only one that will get him out of it.

2 recent examples with baseball props: They manipulate the payouts on parlays now. As with every book, they can change odds based on whatever they choose and that’s fine. The payout should be standard and shouldn’t change based on a player or team. A parlay of +400 and +400 should pay a standard +2500. Even if it they tweak it and want to lower it to f you, every parlay of the exact same odds should pay the same. Neither of these are true at FD. They use some unknown method to determine parlay payouts and it changes depending on the player. Have had some very weird situations where a +500/+400 parlay paid less than a +500/+350 They are also the only book that won’t void a no start in baseball. Every other book needs a batter to be in the starting lineup to play. FD does not and will keep the bet live even if a player pinch hits later and only gets one AB. You bet with the expectation of 3 or 4 AB rather than just 1. They stick you with a 1 AB play and with odds that are set like they were starting. If you live bet the 1 AB, your odds would be much better. You don’t get those odds. The most dastardly thing they do thought is they won’t let you cash the bet out and take your money back before the game starts. You have a parlay where all the legs haven’t started, they won’t let you void it once it’s been announced your player isn’t starting. They are the only book that operates this way.

ESPN has $1.5B reasons to make sure you will be hearing all about it for the next 10 years . -
I’m not sure you will find many playoff teams with a second pairing with 163 total NHL games.

Penn Gaming is one of the big national companies and since they don’t have clever gambling sounding corporate name they need a brand to partner. They started with Barstool and then pivoted to ESPN. Penn are paying ESPN $150M for 10 years plus company stock options for the right to plaster gambling over their entire platform -
As football season begins, a quick reminder that these big online books are shady AF. They do some very sheisty stuff with lines and odds. FanDuel is definitely the worst. DraftKings isn’t much better. Fanatics has a great policy on voiding bets for injury but their odds are some of the worst. MGM has very limited markets and an ancient app.

****ty way to settle the championship as Lando conks out with a few laps to go. That’s a 25 point gain for Oscar instead of 7. That will loom very large and now everyone is out hoping for a Piastri DNF somewhere in the next few races to bring the championship battle back.
