Is Everyone 6' 8"?


I dont understand. As discussed by Duke fans, Zeller looks barely taller than Hans. In fact, Deon, T1, T2, and Davis all look the exact same height.

Get Your Cheese Up By Gambling



Money is evaporating from the World. Markets are shrinking. Except that 80% of Tar Heel fans think a National Title is a given - so there's a market. If your financials have imploded completely, consider playing on the lofty expectations of the more fervent UNC fans by laying down some fantasy league side-bets. You can really profit this year due to super high expectations and misunderstandings of realistic title odds.

Here are some ideas to get your cheese to go up:

1) Offer a jingoistic Tar Heel an even bet (1:1) that UNC wins the national title. They might just take it.
2) Offer 1:5 odds that Duke will win the ACC. More risk, but high payoff.
3) Offer a particularly uninformed fan 1:10 odds that Wake will beat UNC. The game's in Winston, and Wake fans will be pumped.
4) Virginia Tech could beat UNC at VT. Offer 1:20 that a team from Virginia will defeat the mighty Tar Heels.
5) Straight up (1:1) Duke will win in Cameron.

You get the gist. There is arbitrage right under your noses...things certainly aren't as lopsided as they seem to some.
