2020 NFL Season

[Jack the Stripper]

Fancy giving up 49 points against the Browns on your home deck. Cowboys are fucked and won’t be making the playoffs this season if the other teams in their division decide to get their acts together.

^ Totally true... giving up 49 points to The Factory of Sadness is just pitiful.

The betting agency I’ve been with for ever and a day was just bought out by another betting agency and to celebrate, they offered their long term members a free $50 bet, so I plonked it straight on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl @$4.50

What does $4.50 mean?  What are the odds?

Its 9/2 in the old scale. Every dollar on you receive $4.50 back. So total return would be $225 minus the free $50 they let you bet with. They don’t give you that to keep.

Free $225, basically, should Mahomes take his team to a repeat win.

That was a rough game against the Pats last night. It stands to reason that the Pats would have posted more points if Cam was on the field, but maybe not. Their D kept KC in check for the most part, but it was simply not enough.

On any given NFL team, there's a lot of talent. Getting it all to work together consistently is the hard part. The Chiefs seem to have hit on that, and with Mahomes being a once-in-a-generation QB machine, I think Jack's odds of scooping up that bet are good.

Hey, those are pretty good odds, Jack. 
Currently, the Las Vegas odds for K.C. to win the SB are 7/2 ($1 to make $3.50).
However, I'm referring to U.S. dollars.  Perhaps the exchange rate makes up the difference.

[Zzzptm]

Nope, those are better odds he's getting, unless he's betting US$ and being paid in AUS$.

Sorry I should’ve been more precise. That 9/2 I mentioned is not the precise fractional conversation. That 7/2 you mention would be bookmaker fractional odds which is total profit made. Decimal odds is $4.50 which works out the same. $100 @7/2 would be a profit of $350 + your $100 outlay back. $100 @$4.50 includes money back. $4.50 is equivalent to the fractional odds of 7/2.

Hey, how about them Texans? lol

[Jack the Stripper]

Besides their 0-4 start have I missed something?

Or is “Texans“ all-encompassing?

Now I see.    You still have a fairly wise free play there.

[Jack the Stripper]

^^^Yep, I think at the very least I’m gonna have a long ride with that free $50 bet

I hadn't considered your second option lol. They fired Bill O'Brien. After tossing out some top-flight talent and replacing them with mediocre talent, then paying them top salary in the entire league, and almost choking the whole football team with financial problems, people were yelling for someone new. His leadership and play-calling was on-par with the level of good decision making that a truck stop whore displays while deciding whose dick to suck.

And they finally canned him. Four games into the regular season.
