Kotov is fascinating to me, after his first season I was told he had problems with Dan and would be transferring. That never materialized and then he sat on the bench ALL of last season and never appeared in a game even once. Pedon takes over and now he is actually getting 5-10 minutes a game? I thought I had heard the reason he stayed was because nobody else in the country was really looking for a player like him and obliviously going back to Russia in the past few years wasn’t a smart move either given everything going on over there.

That being said, as it relates to this year’s team his minutes would be better served going to Schmdit/Sissouku once he gets healthy. He just constantly takes himself out of plays, doesn’t get back on defense, and doesn’t contribute anything we can’t get from somebody else.

Schmidt is not good, way too timid of a player, way too slow on defense and his highest achievement thus far this year is most fouls per minutes played.

Nothin' like seeing Fran get it crammed up his sun-don't-shine. Gotta believe he threw some kind of loony-bin tantrum at some point in that game. His specialty.

I had Iowa in a 25 team par and won the other 24 games. Damn you, EIU. That $5.00 play would have paid $41,857. God, I hate the big ten.

Don't even get me started on putting together dumbass parlays that have no business hitting and losing one game by three points....

The social tab on DK where you can with one tap, make the same 27 team parlay as someone else where 10 cents wins you 50k is my downfall.

Sports books love hyping parlays because the payout rate is something like 35% overall versus 90% on standalone bets.

I steer clear of gambling myself, but, Quinn, any thoughts on incorporating a sports book into RBF so you can take a cut of your parlay bets when they lose?

You already have a captive audience prone to emotional irrationality…

Hey man, who are you calling irrational and emotional? A bunch of Redbird fans?

I think the Illinois law prohibiting betting on Illinois colleges makes that unlikely :D
