    It's Good to be Lucky, and sometime lucky to be stupid
    I did a stupid thing. I was looking at Round-Robin parlays and thinking about betting team on the RL with +150 odds. Thinking you would need 2 of 5 to hit. Ofcourse what you need is two parlays to hit to break even(ish) which would mean have three of 5 teams win. I realized this before making any bets there wouldn't be value in this play. But it was too late. I had this notion in my mind I was deteremined to play it. Damn the percentages. So I played a 5 2 team parlays... and also 5 3 team parlays. My discipline went out the window. I bet small though. All the parlays cost me approx 4.5 units.

    My 5 Teams all -1.5 RL
    SD +150
    LAD +160
    Det +160
    Tex +140
    KC +175

    Four out of Five winners. Up 18 units even if the Dodgers lose.

    The angel on one shoulder telling me to stop. The Devil on the other telling me to do it.
    A stupid play but a lucky one. My goal was to bet smart this time around and avoid "fun" bets.

    Don't mean to brag but it's was a great day. Five out of six non-parlays have cashed as well. Could be perfect if the Dodgers rally and win by two.

    Happy I am building the bankrool for the eventual hard times.

    I'll shut-up now and go back to lurking.
