So you didn't make the 2021 Pro Bowl...

The opening odds start here
Should any player even give two shits?

It's not even taking place!

I've heard back in the day the married guys took their girlfriends to Hawaii since it was all expenses paid.

Some are pissed.

I remember sometime in the early 1990's betting UNDER 43 in the Pro Bowl.

And I won.

The 2013 Pro Bowl total closed more than twice that number at 89.

At the old Stardust Race and Sports Book, there was a sports bettor named Rich who had a screw loose.

He would make small bets on the games and cry all night long about the players, coaches and especially the referees.

Rich was a conspiracy theorist and thought the "fix was in" on every game he bet.

Aside from his conspiracy theories, Rich repeatedly delivered one line that always made me chuckle: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

Rich was a crazy guy but I don't think he was far off with his favorite line about the sporting world.

Vegas was full of those types back in the day....I saw Dave Habba go nuts when a pitcher threw a ball to open up a MLB game...he went on a five minute tirade berating the starting pitcher....
 
All these individual awards and pro bowl announcements for a sport where the team and its units are everything are just so dumb. Put the greatest QB behind a horrible line and he won't be a Pro Bowler. Put the greatest corner on a team with no pass rush and he's not getting that call either. That's among the reasons why the Pro Bowl is such a farce.

TYVM Morgan William!!!
I won a trip to the 2000 game

I stayed for 1Q then left. I figured why the "heck" did I want to waste my time there watching some meaningless game instead of enjoying the island! Back then companies would reward their top employees with a trip to the game - and Hawaii. The game would be sold out but tickets were very easy to come by since most were like me - didn't give a FFFFFFFFFF about the game but instead chose to tour the island.

I understand why it is played but ever since Robert Edwards had his career ruined no one really cares about it
