so now speaking of -EV. I do a small amount of sports betting, football and basketball for entertainment. Most years I end up or down a couple grand...usually down.

So this probably belongs in another thread, but I will mention it here. Last night I made 2 bets on my old home town 76ers (first game after the all star break). 76ers -7.5 and the over 215.

So the Nets lead the whole game and game was clearly going under. Sixers rally to tie 101-101 in regulation and win 112-104 in overtime winning both wagers by a half point and point respectively. Not a lot of money...$100 each, but I found it odd as those are the kind of things that almost always go against me...not for me.
