It’s Post Time
By Stuart K. Tucker, The Happy Handicapper
Germantown, MD, July 24, 2015—It’s post time and the team tournament is shaping up to be a good one for our final year in Lancaster. The influx of new teams is gratifying. How can you not root for The Fighting Turtleducks? Or All Your VP Belongs to Us? Or Hitting SNEWS? Or Robo Dobbies?
And we welcome back old favorites … and long shots. With a lineup change The Wesley Crushers give homage by changing their name to Farewell to the Host, but nonetheless remain the longest shot. At the other end of the spectrum, yes, The Harry B’s are back, claiming the spot of favorite at 19-1 odds. I’m putting them in my Pick Ten. I’m not sure if Now Playing has officially changed their name to 30.314, but I like their logo nonetheless. You have to bet on a repeat, they go off at 37-1 odds.
I’m also choosing a bettor’s prerogative to be supersticious. Give me any team with Dice in the name. Roll One Die at 35-1, Chicks with Dice at 68-1, Snake-Eyed Bandits at 180-1, and Dice Loving Canucks at 120-1 get my backing.
It is high time for Peckofpickledpeppers to win before their record hurts sales. But, at 500-1, I can’t pull that trigger. They don’t make the cut. Another long shot to consider is Team DINK at 300-1. I like their event choices.
Once again, I urge you to find value in your picks. Play enough mid-ranked teams to differentiate your bet from the crowd overbetting the favorites. Go long, but not often. And remember, once you place that bet, the money is gone. If you need to see any of it again, don’t bet in the first place. So, here it is, my Pick Ten entry; join me and let’s bust the bank!!!
56. The Harry B's
55. Roll One Die
21. 30.314 (aka Now Playing)
25. The Siegelman
33. KGB A
76. Train Conductors
71. Chicks with Dice
03. Dice Loving Canucks
31. Snake-Eyed Bandits
47. Team DINK
