The others are tuned to golf and an MLB Network studio show. Four screens are on behind the main bar (a back bar and downstairs club aren’t open), two of which carry the Phils game.

Kevin says he bets on Phillies games a couple times a week and is “very calculated with it,” wagering 50 bucks at most. No wonder he was so nonchalant about the loss. Since the Cards slugged five dingers in their win, Kevin was only out the $2.50 “vig,” a 10 percent penalty paid on losing bets. Every homer hit during the game bought him back $5 of his original investment. But the bet wasn’t a complete flop, because Kevin had secured a little insurance. Though Hoskins did register a single, the Phils dropped a 7-6 decision.
