The possibility that Bryce Harper becomes a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers took a step closer to reality Friday.
The big story for the time being is what the Dodgers subtracted in a blockbuster trade with the Cincinnati Reds. Going out are outfielders Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp, left-hander Alex Wood and infielder Kyle Farmer, plus a bundle of cash. Coming in are a washed-up starting pitcher and a couple of prospects:

Ravens beat Chargers 22-10 in nightcap of NFL Saturday doubleheader: ViewFromVegas is Ravens did it as 4-point road underdogs & +180 on money line (stayed Under total of 42.5).
Titans beat Redskins 25-16 to kick off NFL Week 16: Washington covered after closing as 11.5-point road underdogs (went Over betting total of 38 on pick six on final play of game; that’s a Bad Beat for those on the Under!).
FYI: A new NFL rule this year made it so the Titans didn’t have to attempt an extra point after the game-ending touchdown, but it kept some bettors who had TEN -10 (that was the opener at most books) from getting a push.

Happy holidays, indeed! A gambler from Lakewood, New Jersey, turned a small bet into a huge payoff Saturday when he delivered a royal flush -- and the casino delivered his $1 million winnings.
The man is only being identified as "Harold M.," which seems smart. But we do know how the bet went down.
"Harold" was at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, playing Three Card Poker's "6 Card Bonus" bet. He bet $5. And he was dealt the 10, queen and ace of diamonds.
Nice. Even nicer: The dealer’s hand was the 9, jack and king of diamonds.
The result was a 6-card diamond Royal Flush.
According to a spokesman for the casino, experts at wizardofodds.com confirm that the odds of hitting the 6-card Bonus Royal Flush are 1 in 20,348,320.

This lucky dog prophesied the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens going under 44.5 (smart decision) and the New Orleans Saints-Pittsburgh Steelers game going over the 53.5 (even wiser choice), folks. Nailing ambitious sports bets is indeed possible, as just last week, a bettor turned $20 into $50,000 by nailing a similar parlay. If you happen to know these individuals, seek their advice when it comes to betting.
Oh, and the lottery, too, while you're at it.
