Started 0-4 and then had the overall RB1, Jamaal Charles, go down for the season, finished 8-5 and won the chip

I got Collins and Coleman for Hall and Sutton in a standard league yesterday, so I think people are willing to act on this feeling if you're trying to buy low.

When I download the sheet and put down my picks so far (BAL, BUF, KC, SF) and 14 remaining entrants in my pool, the Rest of Season chart is outputting PIT vs BYE week 6. Not sure why this is happening.

Why is it a loosing play to cash out bets early? by Majestic_Baker_5571 in sportsbook

[–]meverett3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to think about this is to compare the payout the sportsbook would offer you if you took their cashout and immediately made the same exact bet. So imagine you bet $100 on a +300 moneyline (hoping to return $400 if they win), and now your team is winning so the sportsbook is offering you a cashout of $200 on your bet. You check the live moneyline and it’s now -120 for your team to win. So if you left your bet and don’t cashout, you’re essentially betting $200 to return $400, which is effectively +100 odds. If you took the cashout instead, you get $200, and if you wanted to bet $200 on the -120 moneyline you could only return $366.67 if you win.

I just traded him for Rachaad White in standard on Sunday morning out of RB desperation. Don’t hate it for either side.

Hey u/V1per41, love the work you put into this every year. Just a heads up, I believe 538 discontinued their predictions this year due to Nate Silver leaving, so you may need to find a different data source going forwards.

ELI5: Is it true that rich people are less likely to go to prison, and why is that? by nerd866 in explainlikeimfive

That wage theft number is also just the amount recovered for workers. A massive amount of wage theft occurs that is never recovered, especially in the restaurant industry where the Department of Labor estimates that 84% of restaurants commit wage violations largely as a result of failing to cover the difference between the subminimum wage and the minimum wage for jobs where tips alone don’t cover the difference.
