    1. Place the bet in vegas or if you know someone going to vegas to place it for you at any sportsbook
    2. Sign up for an online sports book (Fanduel, DraftKings,FDSportsbook etc)
    3. Local bookie where either a friend or you can place the bet on their line

    pretty sure some of them still do 1st time deposit % bonuses for new players, in which case sounds like it would work for you

    Well that explains it lol. Glad you took the initiative to see what’s up. I was just looking at everyone’s numbers from week to week and I’m like what the hell am I missing with Harden!?

    I thought the exact same thing, it just didn't make sense. At the time of the email the 10th place guy was like 2.1% and I'm thinking to myself "what could possibly be happening in this algorithm that has James Harden on the 2nd seed in the east at 25/8/11 that puts him below 2%?" My email was actually asking for an explanation more than it was accusing them of having broken code, though I did offer that as a possibility.

    I am curious how they eventually addressed it, though. Dealing with players that are traded mid-season seems a little tricky to me. Do we treat the games in which he didn't play for a given team as DNPs? Or is his value calculated according to the games in which he was on the roster?

    With the Nets, so far Brooklyn has played 36 games and Harden has played in 22 of them. Ordinarily, that would be considered a large percentage of missed games for an MVP candidate.

    Maybe they have special code for players traded to a team mid-season, and they project how many games he is likely to play with the team by seasons end and use that figure for their calculation.

    You would think that if Harden was not showing up somebody would have looked into why?

    It felt like a religious experience seeing Harden to us what he had been doing for us these past 9 years.

    Harden isn't going to win it. He can play like he is right now for the rest of the season and he still wouldn't win it.

    I stopped believing in it after he got robbed 2 years back.

    He doesn’t play for the rockets anymore and the New York market is now on his side. He definitely has a legit shot

    Harden won’t win it because Embiid is fully deserving as well, and they’ll rather give it to the new guy...some might hold Harden’s start in Houston against him as well

    Harden should be no worse than 2nd right now tho

    this isnt even close to as good as harden can play, he should this one week off to get in more nba shape for the final push of the season. But new york hasnt even seen 10% of harden at full speed and engaged yet.

    Durant and Kyrie. . . . .great players but they don't make other players better
    not like Harden - We joke but Harden is really making millionaires
    If Harris was available after this season . . . . I think his contract would be amazingly different
    Claxton and Brown and even to an extent Shamet are better

    to win a championship those guys will have to produce
