Has to do with the odds. The rest of the country also sees a good value as ooposed to a probable MVP.

Maserati Mitch opened at 200 to1 that is where all the Mitch money came from, because that was a good bet. It was so good, it got a ton of action and not just Bears meatballs, everyone viewed that as a bargain. That is why they had to move the line down to 50 to 1, does anyone think think that is a good bet, me neither.
The odds makers fucked up, if mole eye does win they are fucked.

Sure, all you have to do is give the casino 2000 to 1 odds. All you have to do to have the chance at winning $1 is put up $2000. Good luck.

The Bears have to go 14-2 or better for me to consider throwing Trubisky a pity vote for being good enough not to screw it up. Even then, when voting for him, I still wouldn't actually believe Mitch Trubisky is the best player in the national football league...and neither will any voter. 50 to 1 is horseshit odds. And so is 200:1...horseshit odds because every single cent you bet on Mitch Trubisky to be the best QB in the national football league next year are completly gone...every cent is gone without a second of time passing...not a month...not 4 games into the season...gone the second you placed the bet. Horse shit idea for horse shit odds. If you can't pass that up just sign yourself up for help. You can tell them somebody pointed out you had a problem because you bet on Mitch Trubisky to win the MVP and they will understand you lost it...you need help...your cooked.

Here is a prime example of how it doesn't work, read it carefully and invert everything. It is also a stellar example of how NFL MVP's are not selected.

I don’t think the biggest Bears homer here thinks Mitch is going to catapult from average to MVP QB in one season. From that perspective I view it as an unnecessary and stupid waste of money.

You put money down on bets that they rope you in with ridiculous lines that you end up losing money on

I know people who lost thousands on Buster vs Iron Mike. Wouldn't be surprised if Iron Mike threw the fight because of those odds

No one thinks Mitch will win mvp, can he win sure. I'll bet the odds on Mahomes were pretty long last year.
Other people have already explained this earlier ITT, quick refresher:
Mitch would need to improve, chemistry with his weapons would need to improve, play calling, all of it, now Mitch puts up top 10 (5 maybe) numbers. The D stays near the top.
Nobody puts up Mahomes numbers.
The Bears play a much tougher schedule, get a few more injuries, but still win the division with a great record.
He could win, it's not impossible, If I had that bet in front of me, at 200 -1, sure I throw down a $20 and hope for a $4000 payout. You do understand that is exactly what happened, the odds makers screwed up and started him at 200-1 probably should have been 100-1, everybody saw that as a great deal and jumped on it, and it was mover to 50-1 and I'm guessing no one is touching that.
Rask is a nice guy and he means well, but he has no idea what he is talking about.
Boxing has always been the dirtiest sport, that would not surprise me at all.

Zero surprise the lines moved. Especially after multiple media outlets copied this same 200:1 narrative.
Any Vegas line at long odds will tighten up once bet to an extent. How it works. Doesn't mean Vegas "got smart" or anything. Lines are designed and adjusted to spread the action so the house always wins regardless of the outcome.
Too bad I had no way to access Vegas odds. Offshore only from FL. I did get some pretty long odds for several SB matchups & few props on Mitch & D. Mont. for rushing title (95:1) & offensive rookie of year (25:1). Not saying it'll happen but it's worth a few bucks for big bucks if so given how we've seen rookies do in KC.
Cheaper than a hand of poker getting rivered by a chaser.

Interestingly, Vegas also set Mitch's TD total to 26...only 2 more than 2018, despite missing two complete games.
Almost appears to be a decline, unless predicting further absences.
