andrewaxia · 07-17-09, 12:42 PM

I've been lurking but just haven't posted much. Counting down till football season and decided to have some fun with this project.

Wilforth · 07-17-09, 12:58 PM

You'll soon get to $100,000. True!

MexicanStallion · 07-17-09, 02:23 PM

Good luck with your project. Congrats on a good start.

Would love to see you do it guy, good luck.

chubber911 · 07-17-09, 07:14 PM

I really think after your next hit you should be at least semi-conservative. Maybe only make plays for 25% of your roll. It would be a shame to make great progress only to have it annihilated by an unlucky wager.

andrewaxia · 07-17-09, 08:42 PM

I'll be down to $300 following this pathetic Brewers loss :-( Going to try and regroup with a golf/tenis matchup - not sure which one though yet

Andrewaxia, tough loss! Good luck tomorrow!

If you don't mind me asking, what sport is it that you betting on for tomorrow with Furyk?

Thanks and BOL.

Thanks! Good luck!

Sorry forgot to put down Golf. Furyk up 2 strokes through 5 holes. If this play holds I will likely be going with the Whitesox this afternoon. Still researching that one though.

cspurs · 07-18-09, 11:12 AM

wishing u the best.....that would be impressive to say the least !!

andrewaxia · 07-18-09, 11:41 AM

Furyk up 4 strokes with a hole to play so he's basically has this wrapped up. I'm looking at two 4pm games. I like the Whitesox and I like the Angels. I won't make a play though until I see the lineups posted.

Current Bankroll: $514.29
Original bankroll: $250.00
Overall Record: 4-2

andrewaxia · 07-18-09, 02:50 PM

Hopefully I won't regret not picking the Angels with the lower juice. I like several night games as well so I'm hoping the Sox pull through for me.

OB 2138 · 07-18-09, 03:23 PM

If you hit that and it ends before the cubs start..put the whole thing on cubbies tonight.

cankid · 07-18-09, 03:27 PM

keep it rolling, pulling for you

andrewaxia · 07-18-09, 04:04 PM

Angels up 7-0 :-(

cholo1124 · 07-18-09, 05:15 PM

But you bet Whitesox (as did I :-) against the Orioles, so it doesn't matter that the Angels are up against the A's. Right....? Unless you made a big boo-boo here. Or unless I missed something real obvious here LOL.

OB 2138 · 07-18-09, 05:33 PM

Double up with cubbie blue tonight, then thank Chicago later.

andrewaxia · 07-18-09, 05:34 PM

Yes went with the Sox. It was between the Sox and Angels and at the time of my post the Angels were up 7-0 while the Sox were trailing.

andrewaxia · 07-18-09, 05:38 PM

Whitesox win - barely

Moving on to the WNBA folks!!

A Cubs team with no offense? Zambrano had to score 2 runs himself yesterday for his win!

Wow, close one with that WNBA game!

Best of luck on your run.

ABEHONEST · 07-18-09, 08:22 PM

Whoooo Andrewaxia,you are skating on thin ice !
Is it okay if I book you ....meaning your chances of getting to 10,000 are not too hot .I figure the odds are about 11/1 against you now .
Why not wrap til NFL ?

keep it up

andrewaxia · 07-18-09, 08:29 PM

Mystics were up DG most of the game. Liberty made a run the final 2 minutes. They hit a 3 at the buzzer which made it a 1 pt game (and killed anyone on Wash -3.5 ;-)

Never really worried they would blow that game.
