LAS VEGAS — En route to Matt Eberflus finally receiving a pink slip Nov. 29, the profit margin on when the woebegone Bears coach would get the sack waxed and waned.

Offshore markets dangled odds to lure those who traffic in such unflinching savagery, who delight in the downfall of others, who relish profiting in such Schadenfreude.

Then again, wagering on sports is a cutthroat, cruel and merciless affair, so partaking in such bets can be justified via the fattening of the wallet.
