Red Panda Oddsmaker Thinks Miami Heat Will Repeat as NBA Champions

Noted Red Panda bookie Winston thinks that the Miami Heat are the prohibitive favorites to win the NBA championship for the 2012-13 season.  He gives the team a 3/2 chance of repeating.  The Lakers aren’t far behind at 2/1 odds.

However, professional handicappers in Las Vegas caution that Winston’s odds should be taken with a grain of salt.

“He takes the Heat every year,” said Adam Jones, proprietor of Jones Sportsbook.  "He got lucky last year, and he may be right this year.  But really, I think he just gives them good odds because their uniforms kind of match his fur.“

Red Pandas Concerned About the Spread of Google Chrome

Red Pandas Concerned About the Spread of Google Chrome

The Red Panda Coalition, an advocacy group for red pandas, has issued a press release indicating their concern over the growth of Google’s Chrome web browser.  The browser now has, by some measures, over a third of the world’s market share and has been rising steadily since its introduction in 2008.  Firefox, meanwhile, has seen its growth decelerate in recent years and has been stagnant or declining over the past 12 months. This has the RPC concerned.

“What many people don’t realize,” said RPC spokesperson Maria Cueto, “is that Firefox was a real shot in the arm for the red panda job market.”

According to the RPC, Firefox accounts for over 45% of all red panda employment over the past decade.  "If Firefox continues to lose market share, it could be devastating to red pandas,“ said Cueto, who indicated that red panda unemployment has already started to creep back up above 10%.
