The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a blockbuster trade with the Detroit Lions. But does the trade for Matthew Stafford leave the Rams any better off? At this time in his career, is Stafford even an upgrade over Goff? Matthew Stafford turned 33 years old the day before I wrote today’s post. And his predecessor, Jared Goff, is a good 6 years younger. This means the Rams obviously believe Stafford is an upgrade. But should you take the bait? If you’re trying to decide whether the Rams make a good futures bet, you need to ask yourself about more than…
For some strange reason, teams who finished with the worst record in football the previous season are often popular futures bets. Maybe it’s because with a new coach, new system, and hopeful outlook, teams can shock the world? And it’s not as far-fetched as it seems. In 2018, the San Francisco 49ers finished with the second-worst record in the NFL. After a stellar 2019 campaign, they came within one quarter of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Imagine placing a futures bet on them a year and a half ago. Now, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock. And sure, you may…

I thoroughly enjoy playing roulette in online and land-based casinos. Due to the lack of strategy, though, this game can get stale. Therefore, I sometimes use betting systems to spice up the action. I’ll even search for new betting strategies when I’m tired of using the same ones.

No, it claims that you’ll win so much that you earn nearly $2,500 per hour with $5…
