YTD: 18-15 +2.53
Today: 1-1 -.40

Pitt couldn't score me a couple of runs? I had picked the game to be 6-3 by the time the bullpens started. I got the 6 from SF, but Pitt didn't get me anything.

Adding some night games.

Play: Philadelphia Phillies - 2 Units @ -185
Play: St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 RL - 3 Units @ -115

[InTheRed]

YTD: 19-16 +1.08
Today: 2-2 -1.85

Got greedy with St. Louis. Too many units and the only reason why I took the -1.5 was to hedge the losses just in case they lost. Granted, there is no reason for the Cardinals to play a one run game with the worst team in baseball.

Now I need the Dodgers to put an end to this awful 24 hour slide.

YTD: 19-17 -2.62
Yesterday: 2-3 -5.55


And the 24-hour collapse is complete. Everything that was built up, gone. Everything that was looking great, doesn’t. Starting over now from scratch, but this time, I’m in the hole just a little. The moral of this fall, money management. Granted, I got burned in SF and LA on back-to-back nights, but still. I shouldn’t have lost as much as I did.

Play: St. Louis Cardinals –1.5 RL – 4 Units @ -105
Play: Philadelphia Phillies –1.5 RL – 3 Units @ -120
Play: New York Mets – 1 Unit @ +170
Play: Chicago Cubs – 1 Unit @ -175

YTD: 19-18 -6.82
Today: 0-1 -4.20

The good news is that I took STL runline and not moneyline. The bad news is that I bet 4 units. Congrats to Houston on their first win, well not really, but its classy to say.

If the other three early games hit, I bounce back and recover from this.

YTD: 20-20 -10.47

Well that sucked. No reason to be at .500 and down over 10 units. A disgrace. Start fading me.

Dark until Sunday/Monday. Out of town.

And we’re back . After a weekend off from betting, the mind is clear, the momentum has been reset. It’s a whole new ballgame, and time to turn the season back into a profit. Missed a lot of excitement this weekend with a no-hitter and a twenty inning game. Now that I’m back, it’ll probably be a day of boring nine inning games. As long as I’m right in picking, I won’t care.

Play: Boston Red Sox – 3 Units @ -166

Wow. Embarassed in my first blog roll of the season. I couldn't have been more wrong in this game. I did say the over would hit, but wasn't confident with it.

Oh. Well.

Two plays for Friday so far.


Play: Tampa Bay Rays – 1 Unit @ -235
A lot of chalk in this play but I feel it’s a no doubter that Tampa is going to win this game. This is merely a play to hedge just in case the Rays offense gets lost at the baggage claim. I could just up the Runline bet a unit or two, but I have gotten into the habit of hedging just in case. Feel free to use this unit in the runline if you so choose.
