First thing I did was hit up the internet, like everyone does these days. I was trying to find a good place to check out the odds. I mean, there are so many websites and apps out there, it's kind of overwhelming. I poked around a few of them, reading up on what other people were saying about the game. A bunch of folks were talking about the new profile page on americasarmy dot com with all the stats and achievements, and I was like, "Wait a minute, how does this relate to the game?"
Confused
Honestly, it was confusing. I just wanted to see what the point spread was! I even stumbled across some weird stuff about reporting system issues and some Microsoft Teams collaboration platform. There was even this thing about a new acquisition vehicle being redesignated as a "best-in-class" solution. What does that even mean? And then, like, a cost element description? "OpEx/Pgm Costs - Civ Cash Awards Pay"? Seriously, I just wanted to know about the darn game!
Finally
- I finally found a couple of sites that seemed legit.
- Took me a while to figure out how to read the numbers.
- There were like, pluses and minuses, and I had to do some quick math in my head.
Eventually, I figured out what the point spread was looking like. It seemed pretty close, which made it even more interesting, I guess. I spent a good chunk of the day just messing around with this, trying to figure out what it all meant. I guess the next step is to actually decide if I want to put any money on the game. I still don't know if I will or not!
It's funny, I thought this would be a quick thing, but it turned into this whole afternoon of internet rabbit holes. Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes, I guess.
