Vegas odds puts blazers 13th in the west

[illmatic99]

Easy money

Odds aren't a ranking as Nik pointed out. Could be that Vegas wants to up the action on rabid blazer fans by offering a huge payout.

A fool and his money and whatnot

I think Vegas odds makers believe we are 13th. That doesn't make it so, but that's the most unbiased outsider view of this team you're likely to find, because the only thing they care about is setting a line or odds that will make them money.

Another factor to consider is that oddsmakers are also trying to account for a bettors psychology and establish lines so bets will be split fifty percent to a side; so don't take the odds as absolute rankings

13th is about where they had us when we won the Championship.

Impressive that we were ranked 13th in the west in that year since there were only 12 teams. That is a huge achievement by both the team and the Vegas odds makers.

Oh, also by you who remembers the odds from 37 years ago

I had decided to put $500 on the Blazers but my buddy ended up rescheduling his trip to Vegas so the bets never got made. So kicking myself right now!

Hopefully we can win against the Jazz on Friday, I mean Vegas gave them better odds to win the west this season.

Keep telling yourself we are better. it will stick one of these years

*ahem*

Man could you imagine the guys that put $1,000 on the blazers and wins this season? That's like a million bucks!

Like....THIS YEAR?

I think we have the potential to be 13th.

LOL!

It is an odds maker ranking teams in order to get the most money. They know more than anyone else when it comes to this stuff

Oh do they?? LOL!

This sex thing is pretty great...AT THIS POINT

I'm only 19 minutes in though, if someone goes down it could be a total shit show. Let's see how this ends before getting too excited

But this is after they learned the blazers are 16-3 right? It changes as the season progresses?

First of all, 19 minutes is impressive. Secondly, that's the analogy you chose...really? Tertiary (is that right), This isn't a sport against themselves, like golf. There are others involved, so there are 29 other men banging the same chick (Mrs HCP?)

There are 3 billion men I'm competing with, I might as well just give up and hope to win the lottery

The point is...ENJOY THE RIDE
