chorley

Las Vegas - Not really interested in any hoops tonight, but how about a MIRACLE over in England. The FA Cup is kinda like March Madness in the sense that ALL the teams from all the levels of English soccer have a chance to compete for the title. Chorley is playing Wolverhampton for the right to advance, and is a GINORMOUS underdog. Why? Chorley, or you can call 'em the Magpies, play in the National League North. That's like the sixth level down from the Premier League, where the Wolves live. Just think MEAC-North in college hoops, the lowest rated conference in the country, and they send Maryland-Eastern Shore to go against Gonzaga. The Zags would be like a 45 point favorite and the Maryland club would have NO SHOT at a win. That's basically what we have in the FA Cup match. And that's why Chorley is a MASSIVE +$1850 underdog. Yea, put up a $100 and win back $1850. Still trying to gather all the info on the Magpies, and will let you know (via Twitter, @vegasvigorish) if I'm gonna open the wallet before the 2:45 pm ET kickoff. Don't have any Chorley gear yet, but if they spring the MONSTER upset, I'll be decked out in Magpie for one of my upcoming Instagram Reels!!!
