Las Vegas boo-yah

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.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
