Beat me to it @Bobref

I know folks who go to Horse tracks and have a blast and do not even wager a single penny Hence Saratoga Springs. Pay $7. get a picnic table and you get to bring anything you want in as long as no glass bottles. Watch some races, enjoy beautiful upstate New York and its amazing town, full of vibrance, restaurants and culture. Just Saying

the only cruise I was on, roulette table, wild, and I was too dumb, this dude hits a number and had like $5 on it at 35-1 odds, then like most people they leave the original bet on and collect, this dude just added like $10 more, hits again, same number hit like 6 times in a row and others at the table started following and I was like its not going to hit again, its not going to hit again..... yup, dude cleared THOUSANDS and others cleared 100s and I was like huh.... then pit boss shut it down Went to Vegas for first time in 19 years this past summer meet my wife out there, she was there for her work show and flew out to celebrate 20th year, and it had changed so much and I also was like, man, pretty scuzzy environment from my previous experience. Not lining up my next trip anytime soon, but I did see Metallica may do a residence at the SPHERE that could get me to go back there.

This is bit different then original conversations I have seen:

You know what is incredibly funny to me: From the last Renovation of Solider Field.... LOTS of money is still owed, but guess what.... BEARS HAVE PAID THIER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION to it, they did their part, and JB is still whining about it and The mayor...,

1000000%. The border rivalry is REAL there and Kansas sold out BIG TIME to just stick it to the Show Me State wild Not sure when last time you went up i65 N to my neck of the woods: Last 3 years much like your area near Lebanon there has been MANY very large storage and distribution centers popping up from Lowell to Merrillville. At least 2 Amazons I think maybe 3.

Yes, that is what they are doing: What they are asking for is infrastructure partnerships and probably what has hurt the Arlington Heights spot is the state of Illinois to give them any sort of capped property tax system in place, the current proposal from state of Illinois would make it impossible for the Bears to pay the Property Tax bc state of Illinois has not locked it in

Muda: You should check out what Kansas did to get the HUNT family to cross the border from Missouri to Kansas. OH BOY , would love to see your reaction if you lived in Kansas with their proposals that got them.

That was going to be my prediction as well

Is there a State that you would much. more prefer to live in?

Sounds Good: Just know, I am not desperate 🙂 Understand the sentiment and I agree, not a choice for many, kudos too, all good here, But imo, my portfolio has many long term investments that are very stable and consistent. Retirement , check, etc etc I wager $10 on a Purdue Parlay to enjoy why I watch is harmless FOR ME, but again, I have discipline and have shown this since Indiana adopted mobile, but I have been a card player, casino goer over the years since 21 You should go out to Saratoga Springs, you don't even need to wager, it is a fine place for old school small town awesomeness

Other Side of the Coin: As an adult, who can control their fun money and create a balance that has bills, savings, retirement, funsies all taken care of, then why would that scream desperation ? I play horses typically in some capacity Wed thru Sunday and international tracks and wager on College hoops and NFL with that being a 70/30 split. Its a form of entertainment for me, I do it responsibly, this shocks me, your stance from the years of libertarianism and your constant message of consenting adult choice should not be governed nor considered "desperation"

As a consumer of sports investments and College Basketball being my favorite and most profitable, I will say also, that those mid to low major schools do not have props though, but most major conferences have them for states that allow prop betting for Professional College Sports

I think it could be more prevalent than you think at these lower level schools in D1: Problem (other than the obvious problem with the players themselves choosing to do this) is that if folks really had an "in" like this, they just can't help themselves and end up alerting books with large sums..... long game and smaller chunks (personally I think that is happening way more with PROPS then anything in college/pro sports, especially hoops: Guy is at O/U 7.5 Rebounds, he knows how to keep that on the UNDER and not make it seem like anything. A couple hundred bucks here and there won't flag anything... When you start doing high end 5 figure wagers.... SIRENS go off. rinse repeat

My daughter picked up Volleyball at Crown Point Middle School because of her PE teacher, comes home and says, Dad, I really liked it, we choose to not play the game of club, she went out for the 7th grade team, made it, then worked her way into some 7th tournaments, then made the 8th grade team and worked her way into A rotation and went to all the Tournaments. She did all the HS Camps as well. Goes out for HS team at Crown Point: 70 some girls for 35 total spots and 6 freshman setters including the HC daughter (very good btw). She did not make the team. Some folks tried to tell me bc she wasn't on a club previously, I said, what I have always said, if she is good enough then she is good enough, we do not need to go spend 5k to 10k on club volleyball to prove it one way or another. My Mrs. felt bad I think about her 1st real crap sandwich she had to eat for the 1st time in her 15 years of existence (proud of her, had her moment I was told at the lunch counter, but then instead of teenage rage, she collector herself and went out and hung with neighbor pals for next 7 hours). So Wife finds a local club that was reasonable, I think about $2200 with 1 or 2 maybe overnights. We felt strong that we wanted her to do it and the price was not outrageous to have her have an experience that we were seeking: Time Management, Social engagements, Competitive teamwork , team building attributes that she was going to miss out on after not earning the opportunity at her local HS . We did that Frosh and Soph years, this past year she chose to exit and wanted to get more involved with Best Buddies program and unified Track she did last spring and of course WORK MORE because 7 brew and Chipotle doesn't pay for itself nor do her parents pay for it !!! Each experiences can be different, but I know their are real tough stories out there that didn't go so great Seen that as well both from the umpire perspective when I used to do it ... the numbers in CP have dwindled but the exhorbant amount of youth travel for baseball softball has picked up like never before

Understand the connection, however, I do not believe BB would like to answer to TB12 BB ego will not allow such things in my opinion. There was a reason TB12 won his last Super Bowl with a TB not NE and it wasn't Kraft

You forgot the other 31 current NFL teams and their HC, consistency matters

They should easily clear that opening line of -7.5. OLD MEN vs Pups (mostly)

Yup: That is why I listened to the entire 1 hour Ravens Owner Presser He literally said, "I have no idea how these college coaches are dealing with this nonsense of NIL". Basically called it laughable system

Dante Moore had 7.5 MILLION reasons to not go to the JETS
