Welcome back to MMBets, a series where apparently we’re going to find out how much hypothetical cash Tyler can burn through during an 82-game NBA season. Today’s clash between the Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks will be the the next installment in our Game of the Week series. Before we get into the handicap, lets go over the results from last week.
Last week’s results
David: 2-2 (-$13)
Tyler: 0-4 (-$400)
Once again, my sincerest apologies go out to anyone who is ridiculous enough to tail me after the year I’ve
had. In fairness, Cade Cunningham was one assist away from cashing a triple double for me at +1000, so I really wasn’t that far off. But still, this is unacceptable.
Overall
David: 16-15 (+$249)
Tyler: 11-21 (-$936)
Overall: 27-36 (-$687)
In the words of the great philosopher Stephen A. Smith: “This is bad. This is very, very bad.”
With that out of the way, let’s get to this week’s cap.

Again, please do not tail me. When you are on an all-time cold streak such as myself, you do not try to jump on that train. I will figure it out eventually if it is the last thing I do for this site!
