Note: All player lines include points accrued in all games, including playoffs, but NOT games played as a sub
Tournament Winner
Shortis (EVEN)
Thrust Fund (EVEN)
Dirty Mike & The Boys (+200)
High Rollers (+500)
The Nip Slips (+500)
Notes: This is going to be a battle for the ages. Shortis are rolling in with a roster that includes Jeff, Jo, Miles, Probert, Lucas, Ellie Guy and the only non-NYC ringer in the entire tournament, some guy named Shane Hughes who is somehow not related to the Hughes on Fuzz. Thrust Fund will match that with returning legends like Sam, Jack and Annie rounding out a roster with Storer, Hicks and the Specs while the Poutine/Rens combo has a sneaky sexy collection of players, but will these teams get completely ripped at Friday night dinner, the afterparty and the late night excursion to the club that Sam has requested or the strip club that the Milkman has requested? Stay tuned.
Note: Three final FAs will be added to rosters live at the dinner. Stay tuned.
Tournament Winner
Thrust Fund or Shortis (-330)
Field (+185)
Notes: If you like laying -330 moneylines odds are you aren’t the type to be coming to AC this weekend anyways.
Tournament Winner
Shortis (EVEN)
Field (-155)
Notes: If you want to bet against the Shortis, this is your chance, albeit at a severely juiced rate.
Prelim Game Line
High Rollers (-145)
The Nip Slips (EVEN)
Notes: In this tournament both of these teams get a “sub wild card” where they can take any sub from any team for any game, but have to grab from different teams each game. I still have the High Rollers with a slight edge but this depends entirely on Zisser’s recent injury and how violently destroyed he gets tonight.
Tournament Leading Scorer
Jeff (+140)
Scott Storer (+140)
Ryan (+170)
Jo Robin or Probert (+200)
Sam (+250)
Chad (+250)
Field (+200)
Notes: A ton of top talent in the tournament to bet on. Honestly, field might be the play here.
Tournament Leading Lady Scorer
Emma (+110)
Annie (+150)
Field (+110)
Notes: Emma will be eating minutes and is on paper the best in the tournament but her team did pull a brutal prelim draw with Shortis & Thrust Fund. Annie is a top 10 all time D5 scorer, gender regardless, and a strong bet to put up #s as well. That said if she ends up spending most of her time taking care of Jack on the bench, the field could be a sneaky bet.
Lowest GAA
Chris (+135)
Max (+155)
Sophia (+320)
Zisser (+420)
Carl (+420)
Notes: This once again depends heavily on how violently hungover Zisser and Max specifically are on Saturday morning and how badly that affects their play. Sophia is kind of a monster in her own right but I’ve been told she’s more likely to smoke on the boardwalk than dance on tables at the afterparty so Dirty Mike might actually be ok for their 9:30 game against the Shortis (who am I kidding – they’re fucked). Chris and Carl are presumably going to be the most sober goalies on Friday night and thus give their teams an actual chance at reasonable goaltending Saturday morning. Also I’m being pulled to the Borgata Buffet as we speak so the commentary is going to wind down here.
Who Will Score More Points
Jeff (-135)
Ryan (-105)
Who Will Score More Points
Probert (-110)
Chad (-130)
Notes: Old school vs new school.
Who Will Score More Points
Pete (-105)
Simon (-135)
Notes: Simon is absolutely going to eat minutes for the High Rollers. Pete bettors beware.
Who Will Score More Points
Luca French (EVEN)
Matt Bramson (-145)
Who Has Hooked Up With More Women
Luca French (-120)
Matt Bramson (-120)
Notes: Bramson is 29 while Luca is 18. I think this line is closer than you think.
Team To Drink Most At Carmine’s
Thrust Fund (+150)
Dirty Mike & The Boys (+200)
High Rollers (+200)
The Nip Slips (+420)
Shortis (+1700000)
Notes: Shortis only have five people going to the dinner: Cole, Brandon, Julie and her two sisters. A win by them here would be the biggest possible upset on the weekend, including Jenn winning the scoring title.
Any Player To Get Kicked Out Of Carmine’s
Yes (-120)
No (-120)
Notes: Zisser, Rosen and Hicks are leading the field. It should be noted that we wore matching security shirts in the casino last night and were asked to change by their actual security. We were just trying to keep people safe. Sad.
Team With Heaviest Weekend Drug Use
High Rollers (-200)
Field (+140)
Notes: With Rosen on this team and Bramson a sneaky sleeper, plus Meehan, Zisser, Robyn…red has to be heavily favored against the entire field with ease.
Hicks Saturday Night Bar Tab
Over $319.99 (-120)
Under $319.99 (-120)
Notes: Across two career Nashville Friday nights, this guy is averaging $2k/night in bar spend. The GOAT of frivolous spending and frivolous commitment to backchecking alike.
Players To Hook Up W/ Randos (Non-NYC People)
Over 1.5 (+110)
Under 1.5 (-155)
Notes: You have to hook up with someone outside the tournament crew for this to count and I need to see some sort of evidence which may or may not be posted in the post-tournament wrap-up.
Will Maynard’s Run Out Of Champagne On Saturday Night?
Yes (-145)
No (EVEN)
Notes: I completely bought them out last year. I spoke with the manager this week and specifically requested she double her order, if not more. Did she listen? Will it even matter? Come out Saturday night to find out.
