Yes, anybody that's  paying attention knows that none of this happens unless Joe didn't advertise his weakness w the Afghanistan debacle... but he did it, then advertised that a minor Russian incursion might be ok,.. then became a news agency saying for sure Russia was going to invade.  Joe is for sure one of our weakest & worst presidents.   We all would've been much better if he just stayed home and played cribbage w his other senile friends. 

Yeah, I've noticed this as well.  I even put up with watching her Town Hall last week. Lol. ... For those undecided voters out there ( and I have no idea how you can be at this juncture), let's hope  they wisen up and realize this in time before election day. 

I don't know when it happened,  but common sense has become so uncommon these days.  

New Wars, ( that's plural by the way), inflation,  and a border crisis.

None of this was happening 4 years ago, so  Take off those partisan glasses.  Those are facts that can't be disputed 

Hey Scooby, doing well.  Hope all is well with you, too. 

Yeah, like refusing to find a Walgreens worker to open up the locked up glass case that is protecting the shampoo bottle.  I don't blame the customer for just leaving.  And  Walgreens ain't gonna keep a store open for very long when most of the store is locked up.  It just can't do so profitably for very long.. 

But, for sure you could blame the 'mentally challenged' DAs across this country that are de-criminalizing criminal behavior.   "They" are the source of the problem.    I mean, at what point do the people living in these communities start voting for tough-on-crime DAs, and put this "soft on crime" shit in the garbage once and for all ?  

Good write-up Raiders...  I think your rationale was spot on ; it's just so darn difficult to predict the "neutral rate" for interest rates.  It appears that that number is quite a bit higher than predicted 3 months ago when you posted this.   I just looked at a chart on the Russell 2000 and see that it is slightly down in that 3-month time frame.   In the last few weeks, the 10-year Treasury has shot up, perhaps in anticipation of a Trump victory, perhaps the Bond vigilantes are rearing their ugly head with all our debt.  There are so many factors that go into the 10-year yield, and I think its direction and rapid move has surprised quite a few people, including myself.  Me personally, I don't bet on the direction of the market, and keep 10% in a Mid-Cap Index, and 10% in a Small-Cap , and balance accordingly.  If I  feel an opportunity is out there, I prefer to buy individual stocks when I feel that the market has overreacted to a piece of news specific to that company.  i.e. CRWD was a golden opportunity earlier this year.  

I think this is the great play , as well as First 5 innings Under.  With a 5PM PST start, also don't forget that shadows could be an added factor early in this game, impacting the hitters.  So add shadows onto a 5 day layoff... Not a good combination.    I think the F5 under is  a live play.  

Dodgers have the better Hitters, Relief Pitching, and maybe a push on starting pitching.  Having said that, It's amazing to think that the Dodgers have been able to put together a credible starting rotation with a complete starting rotation on the DL throughout most/all of the season !!   (Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May, Clayton Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow).    And youngsters Gavin Stone, River Ryan, and Emmet Sheehan all went down with season-ending injuries, too !!  

A couple of big wild cards are;

1).  The health of Freedie Freeman , even though a couple of days ago he said he feels it is 100% and expects to be in the starting line up Game #1.  But this ankle injury can be a nagging injury that can resurface itself. 

2)   Will Dave Roberts go with a "bullpen session" in Game 4, or opt to go with Flaherty on 4 days of rest ? 

Dodgers win 4 Games to 2

Agreed.. I was surprised at that.  I thought DET would easily handle SEA , due in part to the SEA defense having played inept QBs to that point.

Even if you actually won this bet, and cashed in your investments to make this bet, you're still a dipsh*t and on your way to financial ruin. 

Yeah, you're not to be taken seriously with shit talk like this

He is coming back.  His announcement would've happened by now if he was retiring,  IMO. 

Yeah, I did... so many cool people,... and so many turds.   Your words.   

And yet you come here in the thread to focus on the"" few""  negative ones.   Give it a rest. 

Those are 2 primary reasons why I played a future on NYJ to not make the playoffs before the season started,  at +150

Having said that, slow starts by BAL, CIN, and MIA are not helping the cause 

So many turds ? Actually,  there's quite a few people ( myself included) that have kept it positive on a tough week for Van.   Keep it   positive Train.  There's more of us than them. 

No, part of this business is thinking about the big picture.  Here, you have an away 3-0 (away) team playing a good  1-2 ( home) team. Some times you just have to ask yourself who wants it/ needs it more. So,  I don't think BUF is mailing it in.  BAL just wants it more.

Lamar didn't play professional baseball,  did he ? ( deion and bo did)

Also, Mahomes and Brady could've played professional baseball  ?  

Maybe you could make an argument that Brady is a better " athlete " than Lamar.   Ponder that...

He is quite possibly the best player in NFL History the last 45 minutes or so. 

Exactly,  Van.  " Trust the Process."  You've put in enough time and effort into this craft to prove that your system works over long periods of time.

This is equally a bet on KC at -3 or less, and against an ATL team that had no business of winning their previous game. 

KC.
