WC results and MLB plays

6.23.10 World Cup Plays:

USA -1 +135 (10u)***Push:Unreal US has yet another goal stripped away! This game should have been 2 nil. Oh well I'm glad they made it through.
Germany -1 -130 (10u)***Push:Germany played conservative, which is what I was afraid of.
England -1.5 +120 (5u)***Loser:Very conservative effort. England shouldn't even be in this damn WC they way they've played.
Aus/Serbia Under 2.5 -140 (5u)***Loser:Unreal, 3 goals in a 0-0 game within the last 25 minutes of the game!!

damn - you're a heavy hitter.....1 unit = $100 i would hope...

[Nomadik]

6.24.10 World Cup Plays:

Paraguay -1 -120 (10u)***Loss: Paraguay simply did not show up. This game should have at least gotten a push.
Den/Japan Under 2.5 -150 (5u)***Loss: Was skeptical on taking a side in this one, so went with the under. Next expected the Japanese to run wild on the Danes with 3 goals. Hats off to them.
Holland ML -140 (5u)***Win: Had a little sweat in this game as well
Italy/Slovak Under 2.5 (5u)***Loss: Italy never looked poised for this WC and this loss showed. This is the #1 reason I didn't side with them over Slovak, but I at least felt this game would definitely stay under 3 goals

So rough couple of days in WC, but hey I'll take my record and profit for this being the first time I've really capped soccer.

WC Record 2010: 14-6-5, +72.95u

You would be correct...1 unit = $100. However, I'm no heavy hitter by any stretch of the imagination. I know some cats that bet on ONE game what I bet in a day, or a week for that matter.

[Nomadik]

Hadn't seen anything posted for MLB today. So I just put something in from the movie. More bored than anything. I'll just shut up now.

Yeah I just posted them, although they're not looking too hot at the moment. I don't do well on "the road" I guess . I need to get back to my "home field" in Vegas If tonight goes down the way it's looking I'll probably take a small break until I get back into town Saturday.

[VegasPlayer]

Didn't know you were out of town. It's hot here with no breeze. Traffic is nice with school out tho. Hopefully, Mets start bangin. I got alot on the Rangers and Angels too.

Yeah I think the Angels play is pretty solid. I might be adding more to that play here in a minute. The fyckin Cards (Was actually torn b/w the Over and Cards ML here...I took the ML . Not that the over is going to hit anyway. Why did I even play this fyckin game? Wainright has been a little bitch lately), Mets, and Rangers look disgusting at the moment Oh well shit happens

Seriously though, I mean this half jokingly as I hate losing and I hate to see others lose if they happen to tail any one of my plays. I'm actually glad I got these MLB plays posted a little late (a few minutes before game time for three of them). Hopefully I'm the only one getting raked here.

[VegasPlayer]

Hope so. I don't trust the Cardinals, especially on the road. Rangers got 1 back and it's still early tho. Gonna go to the book and check out the overnights. Good Luck to all of us tonight.

[Nomadik]

Well I can see a 2-2 night coming (fyck who knows, maybe a big fat goose egg the way this road trip is playing out for me). I think the Rangers pull it out and the Angels kill it. STL is fyckin toast and the Mets have a ways to go. Going to drop two more dimes, maybe three, on the Halos and call it a night.* Gunz is a blazin!!!

*Caveat: Although I really like the Halos tonight, kids DO NOT try this at home. Use discretion always

[MrStiffy]

Mets putting up a fight, theres still hope.

Best of luck with the angels, I'm on them as well.

Maybe so, maybe so...fyck it, heading out for some cocktails...maybe when I get back I'll be 4-0

[baazigar]

[wolverines]

[Nomadik]

Wow...fycking WOW! That's all I can say. I don't think I have ever gone 0-5 on MLB, EVER! This vacation I'm on has really fycked me. Like I mentioned earlier, it's like I'm having a bad "road trip." I need to get back to my "home field" in Vegas! Anyway, I get back Saturday and am probably going to take a break until then. Sorry for anyone who tailed today. Trust me it fyckin sucked for me too. 0-5 and down 87.75u...yeah close to $9K. Fyck it, gonna take a breather and regroup for a couple days and I'll be back cashing them tickets , and I hope you're there with me.

Nom: do your thing bro. we'll get'em when you get back. cheers mate.

[dodger33]

Take a break clear your head and come back strong brotha.

[fletch49]

Vacations and "road trips" can be very tricky. You are out of your usual schedule, surroundings and rhythm. Not surprised you hit a bad day here. Wait 'til you are back home...don't push it. We will be here waiting for you

[baazigar]

take it easy gekko! i know you'll come back strong

[Full Time Hobo]

Those are very impressive (+) units for this month!
Keep up the good work!
