    Rough Wake-up call

    Fell asleep around midnight with 2 wagers still pending. I had Cubs/Brewers under 8, with the game tied 2-2 in extras. Also had Pittsburgh +145 up 5-0 in the 6th I believe.

    Somehow lost both, lol. Logged onto my account a few minutes ago, and figured the wagers just hadnt been graded yet. Nope, they were both graded. Now I bet within my means, so it wont kill me, but still a shot in the face when you think your starting the week 2-0, instead your 0-2. Gonna be an uphill climb now.

    Cubbies are killing us! I had under on the Cubs/Mets game a few Saturdays ago. I'm pretty sure that one was 1-1 or 2-2, and the CUbs erupted for a bunch, to send the thing over.

    Yup...I just checked the play by play from last night, which I wish I hadn't. Rizzo hit a solo HR to start the inning, then 2 quick outs, then more offense generated in the 11th with 2 outs, 0 on then they generated in the previous 10 innings combined.

    Oh well......just part of the game.

    MLB and NCAAB are the only sports I usually finish in the green!

    NBA, NFL and NCAAF.....forget about it......don't even know why I bother.

    Baseball 162 games - even the worst teams will likely win 57 plus games - football not much room for errors especially college football - not saying football is easy? But bettors get a better feel on there games

    I don't even really like the sport....didn't play growing up, don't know the game all that well. I need to just buy 10 entrees into a Survivor Pool, and hope I can stick in it until at least week 10. If I can do that, I'll be way less inclined to wager on Sunday's.....that would be great for my bankroll.

    I bet on Pitts last night. Well, things happen. However, MLB is the most profitable sport to bet on.

    I went the other way on both, (D-Backs -1.5) and thought I had two losers at one point- but I made my wife watch them both in bed with me- She was on her Kindle

    I don't know about that when teams like the White Sox (the worst) win 2 outta 3 in Boston (the best)...I NEVER bet -300 favorites or anything over -135 in baseball cause any team can beat any team- College BBall and Football are the best me thinks..

    Where there's a vast difference in talent between the teams

    Right, college basketball and football are my best money makers, i do ok with nfl but nowhere near as good as college, with baseball theres too much crap that can screw you, if i bet it and my team is winning i always get screwed by some jackass relief pitcher that comes in, or when i try and bet the f5 the starting pitcher suddenly sucks and gives up runs and the bats go cold, hate betting that sport lol

    How about when you bet college football and one teams O-line averages 325 pounds and the other averages 275? You know they are just gonna dominate the game 9 outta 10 times.

    Don't forget about the Hawaii nightcaps. Just fade the public and pad your winnings. It pays to follow the Bows closely.
