If I Had A Dime In Vegas…

I had a pretty good showing last weekend in my weekly series on what I would do if I had a thousand bucks in Las Vegas to last the football season. Even though I lost both my moneyline “bets” (in quotes because this is all hypothetical) on Stanford and Auburn, I went 9-4 elsewhere and turned a profit of nine dollars and change, an amount that would undoubtedly dazzle any pit boss at the Bellagio if I rolled it into the blackjack tables.  My bankroll is still at $751.85, having hovered at the amount after a rough start. While I’ve stabilized since then, with mostly small profits and a bad week mixed in, the ultimate goal is to up the ante once the bowls and playoffs start and go for broke. So we stay conservative this week, with $5 apiece on each game…
