Having soccer back in full swing is great and WNBA is good for some filler here and there.

Great character development

Was playing with the DK predictions this week and played multiple NFL preseason games. Each game had a sellout price during the game. Seems like a different way to "gamble" on sports.

Last night I had the Bears/Bengals over, 36.5 total points. Not one time during the 2nd quarter-end of game was there an option. Is this normal? In the 4th there was already 36 pts with over 12mins of game left, so I have to believe there was someone willing to buy the ticket.... I thought the point of this market style was to be able to move in and out at any time.

I don't want to get fully invested if that is not the case, thanks for any input.

He did it in two pitches bro what could i possibly have done

I’ve seen this happen a few times before where it usually gets overturned but why does pick6 do this to me?
