ESPN Bet Sets Jazz O/U at 28.5

Quite a few years ago I used to pay for everything with cash. Then I would save my change in a huge jar. After saving my change for about 5 years I counted it and had over $500.

Well the jazz over under for wins was set at something like 42.5 (pretty sure but not 100%)
I decided to bet all my change on the over. Fast forward. Jazz have 2 games left. They are sitting on 42 wins. They are about to play the Mavs. My brother has tickets to this game on like the 7th row (closest I had ever been was like row 24)

So I go to the game in the best seats of my life with a chance to have about $1000 coming my way. Burks had been a little banged up and was questionable to play.

Game starts and Burks is in the tunnel on an exercise bike. He never did play.
Game is close throughout the first half and then gobert gets hurt and has to leave the game. He never returns. Jazz lose the game (there was actually a picture of me in the crowd from an online news story with me looking all disappointed).

I think they had to win the last 2 games to make the playoffs or something and that loss eliminated them so they didn't even try to win their final game (I could be wrong about this but I remember the final game didn't matter. Might have even been a situation where losing the final game helped their draft pick) so the last game was also a loss.

Lost my bet by half a game. SMD

Ouch. The last game had to be the Kobe-retirement game IIRC?

That's not how it works moron... Things take time.

How much time? We can revisit this at a time of your choosing. I feel confident that the win total doesn't go up much at all.

You are probably right because there is still an assumption the Jazz will make some sort of trade to get worse.
