This week’s single high beer selection was Open Water, a delicious 10.4% ABV triple IPA from my favorite brewery in the world, Kane.
The boys in Vegas know the game best!
Money is agnostic.
Do they? They’re usually not within 6 points of a point spread they set. (It’s why teasers are such sucker bets). But it’s not really their goal either. They don’t care about the point spread so as long as they have an equal amount of money on both sides (to collect the vigorish). And if they don’t, they adjust the line accordingly to make the side more favorable where they need more action. Vegas is interested in the vig. That is what they know best.
The gambling industry, with real money at stake, who are nothing if not brutally objective, guided by facts and information, have decided what the spread is.
Delusional, biased, emotional lunatics with no money at stake can whine about ‘disrespect’ all they like.
That and $3 will get you a cup of coffee.
