I have been keeping an eye on LeBron for MVP odds. Decided to pull the trigger today. Saw him +250 at Will Hill. Think he has a great chance. He has 9/12 games left on TV, a chip on his shoulder, and plays several teams that give up a ton of points coming up. Embiid is a sexy pick, but if he sits a few more games tough to give it to a guy who doesn't play 20% of his teams games.

My plan was to make an 8 unit bet. So there is a Will Hill about 20 minutes from me. I take the cash out of the bank and head down. Check the app in my car, still at +250. Walk inside and double check with the ticket writer, who tells me it is +120! I was like, WTF, it is +250 on the app. He says the app and the book can be different and I should bet it on the app. I know from experience if I tried that they wouldn't give me the +250 on the app, and would drop it to +120, then my money would be tied up on the app because no way I take +120, no value there.

About 20 minutes away there is a Parx sportsbook so I decide to run down there. Check the app and it is actually +275 there. Get to the window and talk to the manager, who assures me the number would be the same. Put in the bet, have to wait about 3 minutes to get authorized, and am out the door.
