  • 50 cent beers? The Tribe tried something similar with 10 cent beer night. As I recall there was a forfeit and a riot. And the Tribe had sucked for a long time too. Other than the rangers, everybody had fun.

    If the Browns threw A 50 cent beer game wow! That might be just what it takes to change the culture. I'm in

    Regarding ticket sales, I doubt it. With bad weather, I'm expecting a near record sparse crowd. Bungle fans won't make the trip, they've already mailed in the season.

    Bottom level end zone tickets are going for $15-20...browns sideline section 135-ish for $50....yea it's going to be pretty desolate there.

    They should offer 50 cent beers.

    Too cold for beer- $1 shots.

    Vegas I didn't see that but try Great Britain they bet on anything living or dead....hey where's London Brown maybe he could check that out.

    On a slightly serious note the chances for win #1 are diminishing but Cincinnati in cold Cleveland might be it.....and then a parade 😆

    mjp... you're the odds guy lately here... Can you explain the new (to me anyway) way that odds are posted these days?

    I'm used to 3:2, 50:1, etc... but now everything is +105 and +2000 and +50 with the occasional -5 or -15.

    Yeah I was confused by the the same thing Tour. mjp can correct me, but I think I got it, visiting a few betting websites. The simple way to think about it is a + is the underdog, a - is the favorite. I thought I could have gotten rich betting the Browns to go winless. 4th week of the season Vegas was laying +2,000 on that not happening. My bubble got burst when I found out that's not 2,000:1. What that meant was you plunk down $100 and if it happens, you win $2,000 plus your hundred back. (Essentially 20:1 odds)

    This type of line is standard in hockey and baseball. A team is -150 so they're the favorite. You have to bet $150 to get that back plus "win" $100. Oh, and those Vegas bookies are pretty smart. You're never going to see a line like +120, -120. The difference is called "the juice". The odds are set so the bookies don't care WHO wins, they're going to make money regardless of the outcome. Of course, if there's heavy betting one way or the other they're going to change it- the same way a line moves in football if too many bettors are betting one team, the point spread on that team is going to go higher. Example- this week's 49ers- Jets game started as a pick 'em. Heavy betting on San Fran- you'd have to give 3-1\2 to bet on them now.

  • Man.... they even changed the name of their fee? Used to be "vigorish" or "the vig"... somehow "juice" lacks the same cache'...

    Thanks h... if "+", then divide by ten and add 100... if "-", then don't, but do... Makes no sense, so it must be right.

    Hey, one of the guys on the NFL morning show agrees with you that this is the win week.

  • At least you guys can watch it on TV! Be thankful you have a team in Cleveland.

    If RG3 is still mobile he will be running A LOT! But that's ok too. Cincinnati has to prepare for that and they're pretty awful this year.

    I predict a stunning win for the Browns with Crowell and Pryor scoring at least one TD a piece. I also think Seth Devalve scores! Hue should take a page out of Belicheck's playbook and run two tight ends who can block for the pass.

    Browns 24 Cincinnati 21

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • Do we have two TEs who can block for the pass? 😉

  • How many balls did he throw into people's ankles today?? Looked like the ball was stuck to his hand!! His long balls ,unlike earlier this year, were straight hail Mary's. Early in the year he hit those in stride. Today they looked like punts. Experiment over. Put Kessler back in.

    Waiting for Hueless to say "it was the rust". The weather probably isn't going to be any better in Buffalo this coming Sunday. Posted it in another thread- Griffin's performance brought back (bad) memories of Akilli Smith. 104 yards, and a qbr of 38- just special I tell ya.

    With the 49ers choking, I have to say it- "Just lose baby". I'd rather go 0-16 and have the #1 pick than a meaningless 1-15 record.
