atalanta

Las Vegas - Not taking a political stand, just looking to make a few bucks on Election Day. Gonna take the Electoral College prop and bet Joe Biden to get 270-299 votes at 8/1, 300-329 at 6/1 and 330-359 at 4/1.

If you wanna pass a few hours waiting for the election results, c'mon with me to Italy, for a look at the Atalanta vs. Liverpool game in the UEFA Champions League. And yea, it's Atalanta, not Atlanta. La Dea, which is The Goddess in Italian, play in Bergamo, a gorgeous city just 37 miles northeast of Milan. These kids are sitting in 4th place in the Italian Serie A table, and have scored 17 goals in six games. And that's gonna be a problem for a Liverpool team without one of the best, maybe THE best player in the world, Virgil van Dijk. That's why the Reds have already allowed 15 goals in seven games. Last season, when they won the title, and van Dijk was leading the back line, it took Liverpool twenty four games to give up 15 goals! Did I say TWENTY FOUR??? The D might also be without Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip. So, we're gonna lean to the Italian side, you might say, a Leaning Tower of Pisa, at +$220, but throw down the big pile of chips on the Over/Under total, and go OVER 3.5 goals.
