Las Vegas boo-yah


PanthersATL

Recommended Posts

Kicking myself about this - every year in the spring I put $20 on the Panthers winning the Super Bowl at a Las Vegas sports book.

 

This year, the odds at that time were around 40-1 of it happening, so if it carries all the way through I'm looking at $800.

 

There was some article recently that said the Panthers were ranked even worse as the season began, with odds up towards 60-1 or higher.  

 

So for next year, do I do my normal spring sports book bet when the odds are definitely not doing to be in the stratosphere (no pun intended) or should I wait until after the schedule is announced and we're closer to fall?

 

And yeah, I probably should have put more than $20 down, in hindsight.  That's a different problem.

800 will pay for your trip back there to pick up your ticket and have a little mini vacation.....Almost as good as some Auburn College students that put down like 100 bucks when the odds were 500-1 to win the national championship....I would hedge my bet if I was them. Christmas in the airport...gotta love it..... KEEP POUNDING!!!

Like I do every year, I put $50 down in Vegas on the Panthers to win it all. The odds when I bet were around 55/1. Can't remember, might have even been like 70/1. If pigs fly and they pull off a miracle I could win a few grand. I think Montsta got in at 70/1 or some poo as well.

I bet Florida State paid out pretty well also. Hard to see a freshman star quarterback coming.

77-1 at MGM Grand the weekend prior to 4th of July.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
