You guys aren’t paying attention to the betting log, so I would suggest looking down the summary of each day. This is what the average person doesn’t get to experience.

It’s strictly an experiment. The money doesn’t matter. If that’s how much money I’ve made in 75 days, I don’t even think I could afford Ramen. What I’m learning though is multi-faceted:

  • Vegas is smart
  • The public is dumb

If you can understand that point of gambling, you can do better than if you think you can beat Vegas. Where YOUR odds come in is on long shots. The only reason I’m even standing on 2 feet is because Francisco Molinari won the Open. His win threw a 25-1 shot in my lap. Now I can start grinding a little bit again.

The Sixers

The off-season is a wonderful to time to speculate because there’s no proof yet. Markelle may be working on his game daily and can shoot again.

The Sixers have gone from 3.5-1 in June, to 18-1. I read somewhere else it was 14. This makes me think that 18 may not be looking so bad. They are still a question mark. In the playoffs they proved that they couldn’t beat the Celtics against their B team (Irving & Hayward). They’ve added nothing. Unless the development of their 3 best players (Embiid, Simmons, Fultz) happens, I don’t see Robert Covington miraculously performing in crunch time.

All that being said, 18 seems ok. They were one of the final 8 teams last year. You will auto put GSW winning the title, and the East is a crap shoot. So can they beat Boston and GSW 1 out of every 18 times? Sure. I’d like to see it at 25, but 18 isn’t half bad.
