    MLB 2024: Rangers Conquer Texas, Then America

    I've been betting -1.5 for the Sox to lose for the last week or so. $100 a game, I'm up almost $500. My friends have been doing it for a couple weeks longer and are waaaay up. The books are starting to catch on and -1.5 isn't giving even odds most of the time.

    The Fast Food Thread

    If they get outlawed in the states, they'll just switch the ingredient to what they use in Europe, something even cheaper that's not banned or raise the price. The snacks aren't going anywhere.

    Good. The 18 assistant coaches/players holding up signs on the sideline was dumb.

    Look at the clock. Only hope is a clean faceoff and quick wrister. But I still think there's not enough time.

    You have a separate escrow account that accrues an added amount on your loan payment to cover the T&I. You're not paying interest on the escrow. Most loan companies either wont allow you to not pay taxes and insurance into an escrow or charge you extra on the loan if you opt out of it.

    NHL 2023-2024 Season - Arizona Stays Homeless

    They give up less than the league average of shots against, take less penalties than the league average, so i'm not sure you can pin it on the defense. The team this year is way different than last year. The balanced scoring they had is gone and the team is much more defensive minded. That...

    Gru is a weird case, because his base stats are ok. His GAA is under 3, his save percentage is just under 900. Those both show that he's not terrible, but not great. However, once you dig into his advanced metrics, he's giving up an extra 1/4 of a goal per game above expected. For a team...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    I really don't understand the all the sudden hype on JJ McCarthy. My wife is a Michigan Alum so we watched quite a few games last season. He wasn't the reason Michigan was good. Look at his stats near the end of the season. He mostly handed the ball off with an occasional short pass. His...

    Hard to tank with someone who can go on a scoring binge like he can. Also the previous GM ruined him on the Hawks and he needed a fresh start.

    There's also SMA products out there that will loss harvest for you. Full disclosure, I work for one of the firms that provides SMAs. They've come down significantly in price to where they don't charge much more than an index fund. The catch with most of them though is that you have to use an...

    The other thing to be careful with is if you had any products in your Merrill accounts that are proprietary or wont transfer to LPL. There may be some assets you'll have to sell then the cash is transferred. That can cause some taxes for you especially with how the market has been up the last...
