Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24

Why does the last leg of the parlay always screw you over? That's actually not a bad thing. If the first leg had screwed you over, you would have bet the last leg again and lost it twice. Nah, that's not how I bet. I don't chase it. Shoot it was a 10 bet to win 120 ish. I don't go chasing hedges on...

So Flames now have Vegas' 1st pick in 2026. Vegas now just have to take out the Oilers and then the 3rd round pick turns into a 2nd and all is right with the world.

We assume Vegas doesn't want the deal to fall apart either? Calgary is more desperate. They need to trade the guy in two days. You notice more trades are happening earlier.

Sure but you also don't want the deal the fall apart because of it. The 3rd can turn into a 2nd and maybe having the 2026 pick unprotected was an incentive.

Your team is a disaster that can’t stop losing trades on the spot, but I don’t think the condition in the Hanifin trade is that bad. It’s bad they took it without incentive, but without weird sports time value that doesn’t make sense, 2026 is probably going to be better than 2025?? The conditions a...
