These are Kyrie strengths that the first-ever
unanimous MVP in history, Steph Curry, lacks.

These are reasons for Kyrie outplaying Curry in
the 2016 NBA Finals — he's the series' leading
scorer at 28 per game, having hit the 30-point
mark in each of the past three contests.  Kyrie
is outscoring Curry by six points per game while
shooting better from the floor (48% vs. 42%),
about even from three, and with similar assist
numbers — but Kyrie has far fewer turnovers
than Curry.  Kyrie has too easily scored over
50 points in NBA games, and he did it without
the luxury of having second-option-help (like a
Klay, Draymond, Andre, Barnes, etc.).

The Hero-ballers Vs. Splash Bros. means a Game 7
= GS ML, as it taxes them as opposed to the Cavs,
& sets up LeBron as a dog, maybe in 1st game,
& gives James sweet taste of revenge S.A. had.

Sports Investing 101

Sports Investing grows in popularity in mainstream society.
More than 839 billion dollars is wagered on sports every year.
Stock markets face uncertainty & decline, but sports investing
is becoming a viable option for even smallish investors.

Leagues, owners, management, coaches, and players are all
making big money.  Players & coaches are multi-millionaires!
The owners of teams & colleges make huge amounts of cash.
TV, media, ad companies all are getting wealthy from sports.
Fans pay for these folks to make this kind of mega-money.
Now fans get to make money through sports wagering.


The part that shocks most ameteurs...Picking 55% winners
over the course of 1000 plays (at an average of 3/4 plays per
day for 1 year) will double your money.  This also protects you
against prolonged losing streaks common in sports betting.

I'll explain:
55% winners over 1000 plays breaks down as follow...
550 wins & 450 losses. Add 45 to the losses for the vig...
550-450-45=55 net wins. 
Since you'll be playing over 20 plays per week, you don't want
to risk more than 2% of your bankroll per game.
Say your BR is $50,000 =you're a $1000 per game player.
It is IMPERATIVE not to change that amount NO MATTER WHAT.
That's just the size player you chose to be via your investment.
So after 1000 plays at 55% winners nets you $55,000,
more than doubling your investment.

Go see if Meryll Lynch has a mutual fund w/ that kind of return.
It's not as easy as it seems to go 55%-58% over the long haul.
