All of this stuff with the mass of lawyers all fighting each other about gambling is crazy. The Vegas model was to blow up their cars, stuff their bodies in barrels, and sink them in Lake Mead. There, it’s done.

I decided to look up teams that had a losing record the previous season and improved their win percentage by 0.500 or more and those teams are just 3-12-1 ATS since the 1990 season.

Smdh that’s like asking why Nick Saban didn’t stop after one successful national championship season
Three "successful" marriages? If the first one was "successful", why are there two more?

Replying to @MagicRatSF
Unless he was on the kick off team he didn’t play a snap so all bets will be void.

Thanks, Joe. This does seem awfully familiar!
It bothers me so when people don’t hat tip the OG’s. @ASchatzNFL wrote about/unearthed The Curse of 370 nearly two decades ago, yet there’s no mention at all in this article. It’s so easy to cite the pioneers and then give it your own twist. Give credit; don’t sorta plagiarize.

I hope this economic lysenkoist idea of eliminating all trade imbalances goes away. I hope the bond market put an end to that idea, which is one of the dumbest I’ve ever seen in the history of American politics.
